BILLIONAIRE’S SECRETARY

And truly, I envied her, she just looked like Nicole in terms of character.

“Luca,” she called out, and I wondered if the person was the receptionist she was talking about.

“Luca,” she called out again as she entered the office where the discussion was held.

A bronze-skinned, blue-eyed guy turned.

“Annabelle… I’m so sorry, I did not hear you calling,” Luca apologized to her as he stared at me.

“No offense taken,” Anabelle stated, and I think that was true because it was clear that he didn’t hear her calling him.

“And who do we have here?” Luca asked while gesturing his hand out for a handshake.

“Hi Luca, my name is Christina Herbert,” I replied as I stretched out my hands to return his handshake, it would be rude if I didn’t, and this was my first day in the Seamus Group of Companies, so I would not want to make enemies so fast, even though I haven’t gotten the job.

“Luca, please, I need you to take Christina to Mr. Aaron’s office, she is here for an interview,” Annabelle said, making it look neither like an order nor a plea, and for that, I instantly loved her.

“Okay, on the condition that I get you lunch,” Luca replied, stating his intention to take me with him.

And why would his condition be to buy Annabelle lunch when he’s the one helping her out?

Well, something is fishy here, but I will think about it later to see if that will be possible after all.

“Okay, Luca, you will get me lunch later, hurry and take Christina, remember, she is here for an interview, moreover, she is late, and you know Mr. Aaron doesn’t like lateness,” Annabelle said to Luca, who was busy smiling as if she wasn’t talking to him.

“Okay, Ms. Christina, please follow me,” Luca said as Annabelle left the office and I followed him.

“You know the elevators are under renovation and our only option is the staircase,” Luca said with a slight frown on his face.

“Yes, I am aware of that, Annabelle told me earlier,” I answered as I checked my watch to know what the time was.

“Oh my God, it is almost 9:00 am, I am late, and I don’t think I can get this job, I mean, I’m an hour late, and who the hell goes to an interview one hour late?” I told Luca as my voice began to tremble and he began to laugh.

“You are so funny, Ms. Christina, there’s nothing to worry about, I can help you get to the thirteenth floor,” Luca said as he continued laughing.

“Are you serious?” I asked as I wondered what was funny.

“Yes, but the only available elevator for you to get to the thirteenth floor at this moment is the CEO elevator, and we have no other option, so are you in?” Luca explained and asked if I was interested, and yes, I was interested.

“Yeah, I’m interested, but I thought minor employees are not allowed to use the elevators available, especially the C. E. O. s’?” I asked him, but you know what? I didn’t care, I needed to get this job today, and I couldn’t change that.

“You know what? Let’s go,” I replied

I said that because I could not afford to lose this job and I would do anything to get it

ANYTHING

“Okay, then let’s go,” Luca said as he explained some things about the job I was applying for.

Not long after, we got to the elevator and entered it while Luca pressed on the thirteenth-floor bottom.

BING

The elevator beeped as the door opened.

We went through the large hall with several offices while I and Luca were chatting.

Then Luca knocked on a door and went in with me.

“Good day, Mr. Aaron,” Luca greeted

“Yes, good day, Luca,” Mr Aaron replied as he looked at me.

“You must be Christina Herbert,” Mr. Aaron said, sounding sure that I was Christina Herbert.

“Yes, sir, I am Christina Herbert,” I replied formally.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Okay, Luca, you may go now,” Mr

Aaron said as he waved his hand at Luca, indicating that he should go, and immediately Luca headed towards the door.

“Miss Christina Herbert, you are late for your interview, Why? ” Mr Aaron said with a stern facial impression as he relaxed in his chair.

“I’m so sorry, sir I got here early and was told to come up to the thirteenth floor, but I found out that the elevators were under renovation, so Luca had to help show me the way to the staircase and your office.” I was still explaining when Mr. Aaron interrupted me.

“Okay, that’s understandable, so hand over your credentials and other information to me,” Mr. Aaron said as I handed over my credentials and other relevant information to him.

“This is what you asked for, Mr. Aaron,” I said respectfully as he collected the information from me. I was ready to do anything to get this job.

“Okay, have a seat,” he said as he pointed to a chair in front of him, gesturing for me to have a seat, and of course I sat down and anxiously waited to hear what he would say next.

Mr. Aaron glanced through my credentials, flipping from one page to another, while he kept on glancing at me and focused back on what he was doing. When he was done, he put them together and kept them at the center of the table.

First, I wondered why he kept glancing at me while checking my information.

Secondly, he dropped my credentials and other information in the center of the table, does that mean I should take it back or leave it?

No, I would not take chances, I would leave it be, at least since I have the original copies at home.

“Okay, Miss Christina, work starts.” Mr. Aaron couldn’t finish his statement when a phone call interrupted him.

BEEP BEEP

Then he glanced at his phone and picked it up immediately, it looked like an important call.

“Good day, sir,” Mr. Aaron greeted the person on the other end of the phone.

“Good day, Mr. Aaron, Is the interview going well?” the caller asked.

“Yes, everything is going smoothly,” Mr. Aaron replied.

“Okay, well done.” “Finish it up and send her to me,” the caller said, not waiting for Mr. Aaron to reply before he hung up.
