Cassandra’s pov 🎋🎄

I watched as girls walked into the office so full of confidence, but always ended up coming out in tears and embarrassments,,,I wondered what’s going on in,side.

Is it because the interview was too hærd that they couldn’t answer any of the questions? Or was it because of their clothes?

It’s just five of us left now, soon it’s gonna be my turn and I swear right now, my heart is pounding in fear.

“Cassandra Kristine Maldonado!” I heard Pearl called my name.

My heart beat accelerated incredibly, fear consumed the wh0le lot of me.

“Come in for your interview!” she said and went back in.

I faced Jayden, who was already staring at me with amusement.

“It’s my turn” I told him.

“Yeah, I heard Pearl called you, should I come in with you?” he asked me.

He sounded as though he’s joking, but I wished he was serious. It’s funny how I felt somewhat free with him, it’s as if we’ve been friends for ages.

“Cassandra Kristine Maldonado, come in for your interview!” Pearl called me again.

Jayden got up and pulled me up too, I stared at him with a confused expression, but he smiled.

“I’ll come in with you, at least that way, I’ve paid my depths of bumping into you and breaking your phone”

“Oh, but I don’t think they’re gonna allow you”

“They will”

“Are you sure?” I asked again, doubtfully.

“You said I’m handsome right, well, I don’t think anyone would say no to this face” he replied.

We headed towards the door, he pushed it open and we entered.

There’s another woman in,side the office aside Pearl, she’s dressed in a white dress and from the aura oozing off her, she must be someone holding a high position in the company.

I guess she’s my interviewer, I just hope she goes easy on me.

“Have a sit” she said without raising her head.

“T-thank you, ma” I stuttered.

Jayden and I walked closer to the chairs in front of her table, we sat down quietly and waited for her to attend us,,,,me to be precised.

“You’re Cassandra Kristine Maldonado?” she asked, her head still bowed.

“Yes” I whispered, but she heard me.

“May I have your CV please?”

“Yeah”

I have submitted my CV online, but she still ask for it. That’s one thing I hate about these big companies.

Isn’t the one I submitted online enough? Or maybe she thinks it’s a counterfeit, she wanted this one for confirmation.

I reached in,side my bag and pulled out my credentials, I pushed everything I know she’s gonna need towards her.

“How old are you?” She asked.

“24 years old” I answered.

All these things are clearly doc-mented in my CV, but I guess she’s too lazy to check it or she just wanna stress me.

She collected my CV and glanced through it, all these while she haven’t for once raised her head.

“Why do you wanna work here, at JJ construction Corp?”

Oh, do I need any reason to work here?

My only reason to work here is because I know they pay well, that’s why I made it my dream to work here.

But I can’t tell her that, she’s just gonna kick me out, I must find something reasonable to say.

“Miss,,,,” she swallowed her words when she raised her head.

Her eyes stayed on Jayden and she looked so surprised, she wanted to get up but sat back down immediately.

She cleared her throat and faced me again, I glanced at Jayden but he simply smiled and shrugged.

“Miss Maldonado, why do you wanna work here?” she asked me again.

“Because of their efficiency, I’m a kind of person who values reputation, from my research I found out JJ construction Corp is the only company that matches my reputation,,,, they’re very efficient and trustworthy, I wanna be part of it”

She nodded her head, my eyes flicked towards Jayden as if I’m expecting a reaction from him, he’s listening to me with a smirk,,, which I don’t understand.

He gave me an encouraging thumbs up, I bite back a laugh and faced the lady.

“If you’re given this job, how sure are we that you’re gonna keep it?” she asked.

“Well, I’m single and not in any relationsh¡p, which means I’m available anytime, any day and I can travel anywhere with my boss,,, I don’t have anything holding me back”

She nodded again and wrote something on her clipboard, she opened her mouth slightly, like she wanted to ask one more question.

But her eyes shifted towards Jayden, she gave a stylish nod and swallowed whatever she wanted to ask.

What’s going on? I wondered.

She pushed my credentials back to me, flashed me a polite smile.

“You can leave Miss Maldonado, we will get back to you”

“Is that all? My interview is over?” I asked.

“Yes” she replied.

I sighed deeply, so I was getting all worked up for nothing, it’s not even as hærd as I had thought.

“Thank you, ma” I thanked her.

I gathered my credentials in my hands, got up and headed towards the door,,,,I heard Jayden’s footsteps coming behind.

When we’ve made it out the door, I released another sigh and puffed out some air.

“Jayden, it’s easier than I thought” I said.

“I guess so”

I suddenly recalled how those girls all came out in tears, my brows furrowed.

“Since the interview wasn’t so hærd, why were those girls crying when they came out?” I asked.

He shoved his hands in his pockets, his eyes trailed my body which made me kinda uncomfortable and I snapped my fingers across his eyes.

“My eyes are up here” I told him.

He laughed at my words.

“Well, I guess they came out crying because the interviewer wasn’t satisfied with their appearance,,,, I told you they dressed up themselves as like pr-stitutes, this is a company not a clubhouse”

“Right”

My eyes moved to the remaining four candidates, they were all looking as nervous as I was before I went in for my interview,,, in fact, they’re more nervous than me.

“So,,,, I guess we’ll part ways here, I still have to wait for my own interview” Jayden said.

“Yeah, right, I almost forgot you came here for the interview too” I laughed.

I reached for my phone in,side my bag and pulled it out, only to be reminded it’s damage. I chuckled and quickly put it away.

“Once again, I’m sorry for breaking your phone, Cassandra” he said.

“It’s fine, mistakes do happen” I waved him off.

After searching my bag for a brief seconds, I pulled out my pen and notepad.

“How about you give me your contact, I can call to tell you congratulations if you happen to get the job” I said.

He shook his head.

“I don’t think there’s gonna be any need for that”

“What?”

“We’ll be seeing more of each other soon” he said.

My mouth twisted and I frowned in confusion, I gave him a curious look.

“Don’t stress yourself trying to figure out what I mean, just go home and relax” he told me.

I wanted to talk to him more, but a beeping sound stopped me. He raised his left hand and stared at his wrist watch, he shut his eyes momentarily and inhaled deeply.

“Cassandra, I can’t walk you out, I should sit for a while before they call me in” he said.

“Alright, good luck in your interview” I wished him.

He simply nodded with a small smile, I waved him and rushed towards the elevator that was about to close.

“Please hold it for me!” I called out to the lady in,side.

She quickly put out her hand, I rushed in and muttered a thank you to her,,, then waved at Jayden again before the doors closed.

I leaned back on the walls of the elevator and sighed.

My phone’s broken, I can’t give Brad a call to let him know I’m done and leaving.

Maybe I should just call at his office and let him know I’m leaving.

Authoress Racheal’s pov ☃️🎄

Jayden watched Cassandra until the elevator doors closed, he smiled and shook his head at her naivety.

“Cute!” he muttered.

There’s something familiar about her, he seemed to have met her before, but just can’t point out where they’ve met.

The beeping sound again, catching his attention. He quickly checked his wrist watch, it’s showing,,, warning: heartbeat 75%.

His brows furrowed in a bewildered frown, he was wondering how his heartbeat accelerated to 75%.

He wasn’t doing any exercise or hærd work, neither was he overthinking.

Not wanting to read too much into it, he shut his eyes and took a deep breath, he tapped his chest gently and inhaled deeply.

He turned and entered the office, where the interview is being held.

“Good morning, sir!”

Pearl and Maria greeted him immediately he re-entered the office, he waved them off.

His eyes moved to the candidate sitting on the chair Cassandra was just sitting, few minutes ago,,, he shifted his gaze back to Maria.

“Tell the others to leave, give Cassandra a call tomorrow and let her know she got the job”

“But, sir,,,,,”

“That’s all” he said firmly.

“Yes, sir” Maria replied without trying to argue further.

Jayden nodded, turned and left the office. He met Kelvin waiting for him outside, he’s holding a file in his hands.

“Sir, this file just came in this morning, it’s from JJG hotels and resorts”

“What’s wrong?” Jayden asked as he collected the file.

“Nothing, just a change of few staffs, your signature and approval are needed to carry on”

Jayden frowned as he read through the file, he closed it and shoved it in Kelvin’s hands.

“Why are they charging the staffs?” he asked.

Kelvin shook his head. “I wasn’t told why”

“Call Emma, she should come see me in my office first thing tomorrow morning,,, tell her not to change any staffs yet!”

“Yes, sir”

“Right, I asked you to transfer some money yeste,,,,, ”

His phone’s ringtone blared loudly, cutting him off. He reached for his pocket and pulled it out, his aunt’s name was glaring at him on the screen.

“F**k!” he cursed silently.

He wanted to ignore the call, but he knew better than do so. His aunt won’t stop calling until he receives it, if only his uncle was in town,,, he grumbled mentally.

“Hello, aunt?” He finally answered the call.

They made it to the elevator, he signaled Kelvin to pull out his blindfold from his p-nts pocket.

Kelvin quickly pulled it out, he helped Jayden wore it, took Jayden’s hand and led him into the elevator.

“My favorite nephew!” his aunt said from the other side.

“Aunt, I’m your only nephew so far,,, or did you have some imaginary nephews that I don’t know about?”

“Oh, shut up, you rascal” his aunt snapped at him, but playfully.

He rolled his eyeballs, but didn’t say anything, he waited for his aunt to continue.

“So,,, did Stephen deliver my message to you?”

“Message? What message?” He asked, pretending to be clueless.

He heard a bang from his aunt’s side and bite back a laugh, he knew his aunt must have banged on a table in frustration.

“You rascal, don’t play innocent with me! I told Stephen to remind you about having lunch with me, didn’t he tell you already?”

“Yeah, aunt, but,,,,”

“There’s no but!” she cut him off. “I have invited one of my friends daughter, she’s already called and informed me she’s coming early,,, you better get your butts here and don’t disgrace me”

“I can’t make it, I have series of meetings to,,,,, ”

“Don’t start with that, your meetings can wait, what matters most is your happiness!”

“I know aunt, but,,,, ”

“I don’t care how you’re gonna do it, but make yourself available for this lunch,,, I’ll be expecting you!” with that she hung up.

Jayden sighed, he shoved his phone in his pocket and bite his lower lip.

There’s no way he could escape attending this lunch, it’s best he goes or his aunt will throw tantrums.

“Kelvin, call Cheryl, tell her I can’t meet with her, she should reschedule”

“Yes, sir” Kelvin replied.

Ding! The elevator stopped moving and the doors open, they’ve arrived at Jayden’s floor, he’s the only one on this floor.

Kelvin quickly took off Jayden’s blindfold.

“We’re here, sir” he inform Jayden as they stepped out of the elevator.

“I’ll be doing some paperwork in my office, you go to a near by florist’s and get a nice flower!”

“Yes, sir” Kelvin replied and left.

Jayden headed towards his office.
