Chapter 1- Predestined
Coming out of her house, she looked back and said,
“This is my step out of poverty, I won't go hungry ever again. OK, as for this month but after I get paid, I am going to eat and drink all I can to my fill. Wish me luck. ”
One might be wondering as to who should be wishing her luck, well its me her imaginary friend Rose. She tells me everything because there's no one like me and I love it that I am her only friend even though I can't talk back to her. Well enough about me, let's go through my friends life shush! please do not tell her I told you. Tilda is her name.
Tilda walked into the company as if she was the boss. People have being saying all her life to be a model because of her elegance in ‘cat walking’ but she chose to work at the office, burning their desire to see her in the limelight. She wore a green suit with white shirt within it, a green handbag and black heels. Having walked up to the receptionist and asked,
“Please I am here to meet the company management about being hired as a worker for this company, who do I meet concerning that” she said.
Because of her beauty the receptionist answered absent mindedly,
“The CEO room 30, you will see the name Adam Rays on the door... What is your name?”
She asked in a trance.
“Tilda” she responded. She then stepped away to see who she has been instructed to meet.
“Wow what a lady, she walks with so much confidence but why not she's so beautiful ” said a lady who passed by her side, she heard her but ignored her.
Just as she was getting into the elevator, the receptionist called after her, recovering from her trance she realized she didn't ask the lady if she had an appointment.
“Ahhmm please do you have an appointment? ” she asked.
“Well I just told you I have being appointed to work here didn't I ?” she said.
“Yes you did right ? I think you did.” she answered absentmindedly forgetting to inform her to see the production manager not the CEO.
So ahead she went, the elevator took her the 5th floor and just ahead of her she saw the number 30 and CEO. But just as she intended to knock on the door, it was opened from inside then before she could move away from the door, she was hit back by a broad back then her butt came into contact with the floor.
“Ahhh why did you hit me like that?” Tilda asked looking wronged.
The man turned to face her and she saw the most beautiful yellow eyes ever, sending sparks to him.
“I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention...... ” said the unknown man.
“I'm sorry I wasn't looking, are you hurt in any way?” she asked.
“I think I should be asking you that after all you are the lady. ” he said
“No I'm fine, please excuse me I need to go into the office you are coming out from. ” she told him.
“Oh my bad, then go ahead. ” he said.
He got out of the office and she went in, the first thing she saw in there, were Sofa's and a center table in between them then she looked around to see lots of books stuck on a shelf and a washroom at the end. She still hadn't seen a soul so she turned the other way to see a handsome man with gray hair sitting in an office chair and a mahogany table that might be older than her situated in front of him.
‘Am I in the wrong room?’ She thought.
But then, she had not being noticed by the man since she entered the room. So she walked towards the man and because of her footsteps, she gained his attention and he looked up to look at her. He seemed to be confused and surprised at the same time but then he immediately composed himself and went back to his work.
“Hello, good morning Sir. ” she said.
“Good morning lady, how may I help you?” he asked emotionlessly.
“Please I'm here to meet the production manager of this company and I was directed here. ” she said.
“Okay so you've been hired in this company as a what?” he asked.
“Client consultant in the management sector. ” she replied.
He stayed in thoughts for a while, and then said,
“Would you like change of occupation? I mean how about you become the secretary of the CEO of this company. ”
“If it was someone else apart from you the manager I wouldn't agree but since you've seen my CV and you think I can do it then I don't have anything else to say. ” she said.
“Okay then, how about you start your work right now?” he asked.
“Okay if you say so, where is his office?” I asked.
“Just take this document to 20th floor and ask of the manager's office. Here is it. Thank you. ” he said.
She stood there dumbfounded, Rose, what is actually happening here? Are these people trying to play with me here?” she asked me, but before I could answer,
The man shook his palm in front of her face and said,
“Miss? I'm sorry I still don't know your name, what's your name?”
“Excuse me but am I in the right place? I mean the right office, where I was directed?” she asked confusedly.
“Where were you directed to?” he asked.
“Oh well, 30th floor CEO office? Oh but why the CEO office?” she asked confusedly seemly noticing what was wrong.
“I think the receptionist didn't hear you well and directed you to the wrong office but at the right time because it is the right moment. I was about to ask them to get me a secretary, just take it as it was predestined. ” he said smiling.
“Sir I'm sorry but how do you know I am qualified for the job?” she asked.
“I will know as you work, and mind you, you will work through out the week. Then also it will be worth the pay don't you worry about it. ” he answered.
“Okay, so then give me the document I will go. ” she said.
He gave her the document and she made her way out of the room. She got to the elevator and she was about to press the button but it suddenly opened and in it stood the man she had bumped into earlier with a suitcase this time. She smiled at him awkwardly and stepped inside it and he stepped out but then the elevator closed catching his suitcase in between it. She hurriedly tapped on the button and it opened setting the suitcase free. He stared at her then again but this time smiled back at her.
He suddenly asked,
“What is your name?”
Tilda…
