Chapter 6 The Test

• The boss came in with his two securities,which I recognized, they're the ones that came the other day with the former boss.
• They look like kids beside because of the height difference,he completely stood out and made them invisible.
• His fashion sense is more than my poor mind can ever think of.
• "Good morning sir".
• We chorused.
• Other female colleges couldn’t hide their excitement,I too was excited, still can't believe we are working with an icon like this.
• But i am sure that isn’t all about their excitement, it and something to do with his looks.
• "So you are going to be my team? Pathetic,will make a lot of changes".
• Wow what a reply,I and Daniel looked at each other as if we were the only ones he was talking about.
• "You”.
• I looked up,my breath almost cut,he's looking at me.
• "What are you wearing,do you know anything about fashion at all?”he questioned.
• Before I could reply, other girls burst out laughing.
• The men were mature enough to withhold the laugh.
• Daniel tapped my shoulder as a consolidation.
• "Sorry sir,it's my best outfit".
• "You don't belong here if that's your best"he sneered then turned to another colleague.
• "That's not real Gucci".
• "It's fake…sir".
• "Fake what!!!....are you trying to insult Gucci?"
• "No sir.....I don't know what to say again".
• I was sad about a minute ago but that guy's reply cracked me up.
• Worse, I have a bad habit of laughing out loud,literally.
• I don't laugh classically , I laugh loud enough to make another person laugh, Daniel told me one, my laughter is very contagious.
• Daniel heard me and laughed a little too,but seeing the boss' cold stare ,we had to swallow every amusement piling up inside of us.
• "My apologies boss"I said immediately.
• "You are as ugly as your laugh"
• The boss replied,wow that one hit me,a thunderous laughter from others buried me,I don't think I will ever laugh again.
• "Don't let it get to you"
• Daniel whispered.
• I smile back
• "That's by the way,I need to taste your abilities,first show me your talent , design anything,and please this is not a local fashion brand,don't bring Ankara styles for me".
• "Excuse me sir"Jennifer interrupted, in a tiny learned seductive voice. She looked well prepared for today and was in her best outfit today.
• Here we go again,I said in my mind with an eye roll.
• Jenny was given permission to proceed.
• "Someone among us here is totally off,that lady over there”she pointed at me.
• “she is not meant to be here at all,as you said she has no sense of fashion".
• "And you are?”
• The boss asked curiously.
• "Let me introduce myself probably, I am Jenny, the former boss's assistant".
• "More like he is your handbag"I muttered, only audible to Daniel. he tried not to laugh at that.
• The new boss stared at her from up to down.
• "Let's talk in my office after this".
• "Aww thanks"she replied with a wink.
• I thought this cold looking new boss who seems like he can’t even smile won't be a womanizer but men will be men,that body of Jennifer can't be resisted by even the devil himself, congrats to her.
• She got another hooked up to her trap.
• "Get back to work!!"
• That was an order from the boss, and all of us went back to our different offices.
• This is my chance to get my job back,I had to think smart and fast.
• It’s almost Easter ,a wedding dress design will do or should I go demin, people love jeans these days.
• “Let me go wedding dress”
• I put on my system and went to my previous works,the pic of my dream wedding dress I designed was my wallpaper,it made me a bit sad to see it after all that drama.
• I sighed deeply
• "What did you do back then?"
• I looked at the voicers direction,it was Jennifer, I guess she must have heard me.
• "What?"
• "You said something about handbag,look bitch,I don't exchange words with people like you,but don't push me beyond my limits,as soon as I get this new handsome boss,you will suffer in this company".
• "You first make a joke of me,"I replied in a low tone.
• "Because it's a joke, bitch. Don’t you dare ,or you will be kicked out for sure”.
• She went back to her corner,her neighbor my bestie or former bestie Kamsy gave her a high five for the confrontation.
• I tried not to give them attention,I focused on my work
• It's not as easy as I thought.
• Daniel came as i was rounding up
• "Wow, mind-blowing!!!".
• I quickly closed my system.
• "Stop peeping at my work Dan”,
• I said slowly, my mood was changed because of the Jennifer girl, I went on and asked him about his
• “Are you done? What’s your theme?”
• "Bikini".
• "Bikini? We’re in Winter,Dan bikini should be a summer design!"
• I snapped, disappointed.
• "Oh sorry I did not think about that,after all I am not as smart as you".
• "I hope he likes it ,you love bikinis?”
• "Well what of you, obsessed with wedding gowns?"he slammed me.
• We laughed at each other but I was Indirectly sad, a wedding dress I won't ever put on on a second thought. I think I'm being harsh on myself,I can still find love again.
• "Well better roundup our time is almost up".
• Daniel suggested.
• I nodded and started cleaning up my work,I used a biracial model since our boss is also biracial,to gain his favor.
• Few minutes later,I saw the boss through my glass wall as he came out of the office with Jennifer behind him,she walked back to her corner with a smirk on her lips, the upper part of her blouse unbuttoned.
• I wonder if she finished her own work, oh I forgot she didn't have to work, or maybe she just did her part in the boss’s office.
• We all went to the conference room,and our flash drives were submitted for review.
• First one was Dan's own.We both closed our eyes,I was praying silently.
