Chapter 2

  • Alex's point of view:
  • I spotted where the secretary area is and I went there. I hope she is nice because I am boiling in anger. It wouldn't be nice if I vent my anger on her.
  • "Hi, my name is Alex Winter and I came here for an interview. The receptionist directed me to this floor". I said politely. I am coming back to my senses.
  • "Call me lizzy, sit down there they will call for you when it is your turn" She pointed to an empty seat beside the ladies.
  • "Thank you" I smiled and she smiled back at me. So nice of her I hope we can be friends if I get the job.
  • I took my seat. A man who is around his late forties, dressed in a professional outfit came to call the next person. Fortunately I was the one.
  • Thank God I came on time. Seriously, I am a bit nervous. I followed him, glancing at the beautiful painted walls and designs. We reached a point and he stopped and I followed his league by stopping.
  • "We are here Miss Winter, you can go inside. The boss is expecting you" He paused and held his laughter.
  • Why is holding back his laughter? Is there anything wrong with him? Perhaps he is a PBA patient.
  • "I wish you best of luck." With that, he left me alone in the front of the office.
  • I stood in for security and I saw the name written boldly on top of the door with pure gold 'Mr Winslow the CEO.'
  • I knocked on the door three times and I heard a silent 'come in'.
  • I entered the office without noticing the person seated on the table. I bowed my head a little as a sign of respect for the CEO. I can't just come inside someone's office and start looking around.
  • "Ashamed of looking at me now? Or perhaps you regret insulting the great Richard Winslow who can destroy you and your family with a tap of a finger." The man said angrily. I looked up to look at the person who just talked.
  • He is the man from the Elevator.
  • Nice one Alex, you are not getting this job. Look what you got yourself into. Your mom will rip you alive if you tell her that you can get the job.
  • So, The man I abused is the great Richard Winslow.
  • I know for a fact that I am not going to get this job but I have to be brave before him so I can let him know I am not a person he can downgrade.
  • "Good morning, I came for an interview and I am sorry sir. I didn't know you are not a person I can correct for good manners. Can I have my seat, sir?" He sends glares towards me with his blue eyes. His hatred towards me is obvious.
  • His glares send shivers towards me.
  • "Sure you can, But you have to know that this will be your first and last time sitting there" he said in disinterest.
  • So arrogant!
  • "Your CV? Or do you think you will just be hanging your mouth there, we are not joking here, understood?" He asked.
  • "Yes sir?" I said in the form of a question. I rolled my eyes before taking out my CV.
  • "Did you just roll your eyes at me?" he caught me.
  • "NO sir, I was just staring at the beautiful designs in your office. Here is my CV" I handed him my files.
  • After checking my CV, He frowned at it.
  • What?
  • I am an excellent student and person and my Cv is good.
  • I am very sure he is looking for a way not to employ me though so I don't think I will be employed.
  • "Your Cv is good" He frowned. Why did he frown? Oh I get it, he didn't meet his expectations.
  • "Thank you sir" I hate him.
  • "You graduated from the field of accounting but I can't employ you" he said.
  • What? My Cv is good. I was even given a scholarship to college.
  • "Sir, my CV is good and I know you like it. Please just give me the job," I paused.
  • "Or is it because I corrected you? Oh my! I am sorry but you don't talk to people like that" I said to him calmly.
  • "No matter how rich you are sir,that doesn't give you the privilege to look down at people. I would have corrected it a million times if that is what you wanted. It is okay. But sorry to say sir. You were wrong and it was my pleasure to correct you" I said so calmly and looked him right in his eyes.
  • "And so bad you will be losing a good and potential Accountant like me." I shook my head negatively
  • "Shut up the fuck up and get out of my office" He threw My CV at me.
  • "Get out before I call the security, who are you to talk to me like that?" he asked. Well I can give him the best answer to that question.
  • "I am Alex winter, I will get out but don't dare to yell at me. I have met with nuisances like you before, you find it hard to accept your mistakes. Anyway, I don't need your stupid job, keep it to yourself" I lied. I need the Goddamn job.
  • With that I went out of his office.
  • My confidence and mouth killed me again. This is my last post and I messed it up.
  • I am not okay.
