Cassandra’s pov πŸŽ‹πŸŽ„

JJ construction Corp!

It’s been quite some time since I had been parading this floor, but still haven’t found the marketing department.

I asked a few people earlier and they pointed me to this direction, yet there isn’t any marketing department here.

Or did I come to the wrong place?

My stomach growled quietly, indicating I’m hungry and it’s time to eat. I didn’t eat anything before leaving the house, Vero wanted me to be on fasting to enable I get the job.

I did a mental eye roll, she and her beliefs.

“Sweetheart!” I heard Brad’s voice behind me.

He placed a hand on my shoulder and I quickly turned to him, I sighed.

“Thank God you found me, I have been looking for you” I said.

He raised his brows slightly, a small smile on his l-ips.

“But I told you to come to the marketing department, you should have asked someone” he told me.

“I did ask people and they pointed me to this place, so here I have”

He shook his head, he flicked my forehead gently.

“What a dummy you are, that’s where they’re showing you” he said and pointed at the direction he came from.

I grinned widely, showing him all my teeth.

“It’s all the same” I told him.

He squinted his eyes, facepalm himself and wrapped an arm around my shoulder, pulling me close to him as he led me to his marketing department.

“Are you done with your interview?” He asked.

“Yeah”

“How was it?” he asked again.

“Emm, I would say it went well, the questions were quite easy and if there isn’t any partiality, I think I would get the job”

After walking a few meters, we stopped at a table, which I assumed is his, he made me sit on his chair.

“You’ve done well and deserves a reward” he said.

I smiled. “What’s my reward gonna be?” I asked.

“Emm,,,,” he pretended to be deeply in thought.

After a few moments of him thinking, he clapped his hands lightly.

“I have the perfect gift for you, just close your eyes!”

Without asking why, I closed my eyes and stretch out my hands, waiting for him to put in my reward.

Suddenly I felt his l-ips on my right cheek and my eyes snapped opened, I frown.

“Don’t tell me that’s the reward” I said.

“Of course, it is sweetheart” he replied.

I pushed him away from me and hit his chest, which he simply laughed at.

“I was expecting some cash, not some sloppy k-ss!” I snapped at him.

He laughed more.

“But sweetheart, girls are dying to get a k-ss from me” he said.

I scoffed at his words.
Yeah, he’s hot, handsome and all, but not as much as Jayden,,, Jayden’s the s€×ist man I’ve ever seen.

Wait, why am I bringing Jayden into this? He might be someone’s boyfriend or even husband,, I better respect myself and let him remain my friend.

Besides, I just met him today and might never cross paths with him ever again.

“Hey! Cinderella, what are you thinking? Did you left your shoes at the ball last night?” Brad asked, snapping his fingers across my eyes.

“I was thinking of ways to murder you” I joked.

“Ooh! I’m so scared”

My stomach growled again and I clutch it, Brad noticed it and shook his head.

“Ya see what I’m talking about? I told you to eat before leaving, but no, that prayer warrior said you need to be on fasting!” he said, narrowing his eyes in anger, I bite back a laugh.

Brad, Vero and I have been childhood friends, we’ve been friends since diapers,,, but they both don’t agree, they’re always fighting.

Brad grabbed my hand and pulled me up, I raised a brow at him.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

“Taking you to eat something, or you’re gonna pass out” he replied.

I didn’t argue, I nodded and followed him quietly.

“So, where are we gonna eat?”

“There’s a restaurant across JJ construction, we can eat there, they serve your fave too”

“Fantastic!” I exclaimed.

We’re just a few steps away from the elevator, when a male staff stopped us,, he seemed to be Brad’s friend.

His eyes flicker towards me briefly, before he faced Brad and shook hands with him.

“Brad, you bad” he said.

“I’m bad?” Brad asked, sounding confused.

The guy nodded, his eyes shifted to me again, he smiled at me and I smiled back.

“Your girlfriend came to visit you at work and you didn’t wanna introduce her?” he asked.

“His girlfriend?”

“My girlfriend?” Brad and I asked simultaneously.

“Yeah, I’ve been watching you two since she came in,,, you’ve been all touchy” he said.

Brad wasn’t all touchy, he only k-ssed my cheek which is quite common and normal between us.

He does k-ss Vero and I a lot, though he k-sses me more than he does to Vero,,, but I think that’s because they’re always fighting.

Brad let go of my hand and wrapped an arm around my wa-ist, he pulled me closer and smiled at his friend.

“Of course, I’m sorry for not introducing her to you earlier” Brad said.

I stared at him with a frown, wondering what he’s trying to do.

“Eric, this is Cassandra, my childhood sweetheart,,,,”

Eric smiled at me again, I gave him an awkward smile in return. Brad turned to me, he gave me a tight smile that said,,, please play along with me.

“,,,, sweetheart, meet Eric” he said.

I turned back to Eric, reached out my hand for a handshake.

“Hi”

“Hi, Brad as been bragging about your radiance beauty, seeing you myself just confirmed his words” he replied, his eyes accessing my body.

“Oh, really?” I faced Brad with another tight smile.

He folded his l-ips in his mouth and avoided my eyes, I stylishly stomped on his foot and he also gro-ned stylishly.

“Eric, we’re about going out to eat, if you would excuse us please” I told Eric with a sickening sweet smile.

He nodded quickly and jumped out of our way.

“Please, carry on, I have other things to do too” he said and rushed off.

I made sure he’s out of sight, before I grabbed Brad’s ear and pulled it as hΓ¦rd as I could.

“Bragging with someone else’s future girlfriend at work?! Really?!” I growled at him.

“Sweetheart, I’m sorry, I just did it to stop them from teasing me anytime they’re talking about their girlfriends” he said.

I scoffed and stormed towards the elevator, I pressed the open button and the doors open almost immediately,,, I rushed in and he followed.

“I’m really sorry, I shouldn’t have lied to them, I’m sorry,,, tell me how to make up for it” he said.

“Let’s get to the restaurant, you’ll know how!” I snapped.

“Oh”

Then we stood in silence as we waited for the elevator to take us to the ground floor, I felt Brad staring at me but didn’t mind him.

After a few minutes, the elevator stopped moving, we heard a ding and the doors opened,,, we stepped out.

I threw my arm around Brad’s shoulder, went on tiptoes and leaned closer to his ear.

“You’re so gonna regret lying about me being your girlfriend” I whispered harshly in his ear.

“Come on, Cinderella,,,, ”

“Nope” I cut him off. “I’m not Cinderella, I’m your sweetheart, you’re my sweet boyfriend”

He looked at me with fear in his eyes, he knew what I’m gonna do at the restaurant,,, he knew how much he’s gonna lose.

“Aren’t you gonna take your girlfriend out?” I asked in a daring tone.

He released a nervous laugh.

“Of course, of course, I love spending on you,,, sweetheart” he said through clenched teeth.

I smirked. “Now let’s go!” I dragged him towards the exit door.

While we’re leaving, I felt eyes on me, as if they’re glaring at me. I turned and scanned the place, my eyes landed on Jayden instead,,,,he stood in a corner watching me.

I guess he’s done with his interview, I should ask him how it went, after all, he encouraged me a lot.

A smile appeared on my face, but it faded almost immediately when I saw the frown on his face.

He looked as if he’s angry at something, because his eyes were fixed on Brad’s arm around my wa-ist.

I waved at him, but he glared at me and rushed off somewhere. I frown.

What’s wrong with him? He was very confident and lively this morning, why is he suddenly gloomy? Was his interview bad?

We parted ways just now in a very friendly way, I believe we both have a five minutes crush on each other,,,then why did he looked at me so apathetically?

Or was that five minutes crush one sided? Was it only me?

“Who are you staring at?” Brad asked.

I sighed and shook my head, he’s gone and,,,,

“What are you looking for?” Brad asked again.

“No one, let’s go” I told him.

If it’s fated, we’ll both see each other again.

Authoress Racheal’s pov β˜ƒοΈπŸŽ„

CEOs office!

Kelvin studied Jayden’s finger as he tapped on the table rhythmically, he was trying to figure out what he’s (Jayden) thinking,,,but couldn’t.

He sighed deeply, changed his posture but wasn’t comfortable, he turned his chair and backed Kelvin.

“Sir, why are you looking so gloomy?” Kelvin asked.

Jayden didn’t utter any words, he was still deeply in thought and didn’t grasped what Kelvin had asked him.

Somehow he replayed Kelvin’s words in his head, he turned his chair around and faced Kelvin.

“Gloomy?” he asked.

“Yes, sir, you weren’t looking this when I saw you with that lady this morning”

He paused, he studied Jayden again and said.

“You look as though you’re suffering from heartbreak, are you heartbroken?”

“That’s not the case” Jayden replied.

He sprang off his chair as if there’s a fire underneath, burning him, but it wasn’t the case, he was just feeling suffocated sitting on the chair.

He walked towards the big glass window, he put his hands behind him and stared outside,,,,from there he could see everyone walking the busy road,,,his floor was the highest after all.

“I think I might have made a mistake, Kelvin” he said.

His comment too Kelvin by surprise, he tilted his head with frown lines on his forehead.

“A mistake?” he asked under his breath. “That’s strange”

Jayden nodded, he ran his fingers through his hair and pushed them back slightly.

“Mr Grassi, mistake isn’t a word in your vocabulary,,,, it’s something you don’t do” Kelvin said.

“Mistake is not in my vocabulary, but I think it is now, I must have made a grave mistake”

“What mistake did you make sir?”

Jayden ignored his question, he placed his hands on the frame of the window, he tapped it rhythmically as he had did with the table earlier.

“At the interview she said she’s single, then why was she so close to my staff? And getting all touchy with him? What’s their connection?” he asked rhetorically.

Kelvin could hear him murmuring these words, but couldn’t interpret them since they weren’t clear to his ears.

“Was she lying just to get the job?” Jayden asked loudly this time.

Kelvin folded his arms on his chest, twisted his mouth thoughtfully as he studied his boss and tried to connect the dots.

He’s never seen his boss this bothered over anything since he started working for him, this is the first time,,,,he wasn’t even this bothered when his wife divorced him.

“But she didn’t seem like a dishonest person, she couldn’t be faking it”

“She? Who’s she?” Kelvin asked, he couldn’t stay quiet anymore.

As he had expected, Jayden didn’t reply him.

He sighed and walked towards Jayden’s table, he reached for the half coffee on the table and brought it to Jayden.

“Sir, have some coffee” he said.

Jayden glanced at it and shook his head. “I’m not thirsty” he replied.

After a few moments of silence, Kelvin gasped quietly as a thought struck him.

“Mr Grassi, are you referring to the lady from this morning? The one you told you’re here for the interview too?”

“Yes” Jayden replied.

He released a sigh, he went back to his chair and sat down. He leaned back on his chair and crossed his legs, with his hand resting on the table.

“Quick, do a background check on her,,, I want to know everything about her!”

“Can I ask why, sir?”

“She’s gonna be my personal assistant soon, it’s natural I know everything about her,,,,we can’t have some unidentified person come into my office, she might be a spy from our rival company” he said.

Kelvin frowned.

“But sir, we don’t usually do background check on our staffs, we didn’t do a background check on your previous assistants either”

Jayden tensed, he realized Kelvin’s right, he’s never cared about any of his previous assistants.

He has never cared about their background, but why is he caring about Cassandra’s? someone he had just met today?

“Or could it be because you have a crush on her? Are you jealous because she was with another man?” Kelvin asked.

Jayden cleared his throat. “That’s not possible” he said.

“You’ve both only just met today, how can you be so jealous already?”

Jayden banged on the table and Kelvin flinched back, he twisted his mouth to hold back his laughter at Jayden’s expression.

“I’m not jealous, she’s not my wife or girlfriend,,,, she’s not in any way connected to me!”

“Oh”

“I just don’t wanna employ dishonest people!” he said.

Kelvin nodded in understanding, but it’s obvious he’s trying hΓ¦rd to hold back his laughter.

“Oh, so,,,,are we not gonna employ her yet? should I call Pearl and inform her to,,,,,”

“No” Jayden cut him off quickly, maybe even too quickly.

Kelvin bite his inner cheek, he coughed to prevent himself from laughing out,,, he just found his boss’s behavior quite funny.

Jayden lifted himself off the chair, he leaned on the table and rubbed his hands together,,, he cleared his throat.

“There’s no need to call Pearl, she should do her job accordingly,,, we shouldn’t bother her with our affairs” Jayden said.

“So,,, what should we do, Mr Grassi?”

“Just do the background check, I want it in my office tomorrow morning!”

“Yes, sir”

Jayden nodded. His eyes landed on his wrist watch, it’s still showing,,,, warning: heartbeat 75%.

He let out a sigh.

“Have you bought the flowers?”

“Yes, sir, they’re in the car”

He got up, grabbed his phone from the table.

“Let’s go to aunt’s place, it’s a two hours drive from here, we’ll get there just in time for lunch”

“Alright, sir”
