Chapter 4

• The moment I went out of his office, I knew I fucked up big time.
• Oh! my mouth has always implicated me and I am very sure it will. It always does.
• My mom once told me angrily that my mouth will implicate me someday and it is like, what she said is coming to pass.
• I am very sure I will not get this job, Oh my! I have to start searching for companies with vacancies. Back to square one.
• On my way to the lift I saw the secretary and I waved to her sadly. She got the message and mouthed sorry and she waved back.
• I took the lift down and greeted the receptionist. I almost ran out of the place but I stopped when I heard my name.
• "Alex winter!" The voice said from behind. That voice sounds familiar, my heart started beating faster. After thinking of who might be, I finally know the person.
• It is the voice of the person who broke my heart four years ago. He threw away everything I gave him like it was nothing. He threw all the love I gave him into the garbage like it was nothing. I showed him the right path of love but he chose the wrong path instead.
• He is the Boy who broke my heart four years ago and at the same time made me stronger.
• James and I started dating during our college days for almost two years. I thought I met the person that was going to become my life partner. James pampered me and respected my choice of not having sex till my wedding night. I thought he was a loyal and patient boyfriend.
• Unfortunately for me, he was cheating behind my back.
• I caught him one fateful night. I told him I was going home because my mom was not feeling fine. That was true but my dad called me to stay since it was my examination period.
• I went to his room thinking I was going to spend my night there.
• On getting there I met my ex on top a random girl having s*x. I broke up with him instantly and cut him off my life.
• Then later I learnt that he had more than three good girls in his life and I was one of them.
• I turned around to face him, I have been over him since. So I have no right to be afraid of him.
• "Hello James. Longest time." I smiled at him.
• "Hello Alex, how are you doing? He asked.
• "Peachy" I replied nonchalantly.
• "I always try your number but it is not always reachable" I know he is lying he is a good actor and a villain to every Girls' hearts and souls.
• I wonder if he is still potent because he fucks almost everyday. That's not my business anyway.
• "I also do try your number, it is not always available" I lied, I know how to play his game. I am now fully aware of his game.
• "Really that is great of you. Do you come here for an interview?" He asked, silly question. What is his problem with mine?
• "No, I came here to see Mr Winslow for something important," I lied again. He is making me lie more than usual.
• "Really? So can I get your current number in order to chat? I really miss you." He dug his hands in his pockets.
• "You know what, you can give me your number so I can call you. My phone is dead right now and I don't know my number off- head, you know I am not the type that masters numbers. And Make it snappy, I am running late." He got pen and paper from the receptionist and scribbled down his number in the paper.
• "Here you go." He stretched the paper to me. His name and number is boldly written down. I collected it from him. And turned around, I started walking out.
• "Bye". He yelled from behind. I am not going to fall for your stupid acting and drama again big head. I replied to him as I kept walking out.
• I waved to the receptionist. Fortunately for me, I can still feel his stares. Okay I have to throw it now since he is staring instead of throwing it on my way home. I have to let him know I am not that weak and love girl Alex anymore. I am a changed Alex now since the day I broke up with him.
• I squeezed the paper and threw it to the nearby waste bin. I am very certain he is still watching.
• I am no longer a fool. I gained my senses four years ago. I have changed.
• I boarded a cab home. Throughout the ride, I was just thinking about how my life is full of shit. I paid the driver when I reached my destination and I trekked home.
• When I got inside my house,I lazily laid on the sofa.
• "I am home" I shouted at the top of my lungs since they won't hear me due to the fact that their room is far from the sitting room.
• "How was the interview?" My dad asked as he entered the sitting room followed by my mom.
• "It was fine" I replied
• "I hope you didn't insult them as always. You are just a waste to me. You know nothing more than embarrassing people all your whole life. The breakfast you prepared was woeful. I was not able to eat a portion out of it. So useless" That's my mom. She is a psycho woman. If you wonder why she didn't want to hurt me, it is because I am used to it.
• "So did you make yours? I am very sure mine will be better than yours. You should be grateful I cooked for you" I fired back. This is how we fight everyday.
• "William, can you hear her? she is so rude " She faced my dad.
• "Alex, don't talk to your mom like that. I 'm tired of your cat and dog fighting." With that he went inside his room, my mom just hissed and went inside the kitchen where she belongs.
• I really pity this poor man living with my mom and I, it isn't easy witnessing our arguments everyday.
• I went to my room and jumped on my small but comfy bed. I am freaking tired. I closed my eyes.
• I heard my cell phone ringing. I searched for it lazily then I found it. I answered the call
• "Hello, is this Miss Alex winter? This call is for Winslow enterprises " A Girly voice spoke professionally.
• "Yes, I am the one. Why are you calling if I may ask?"
• "Am happy to tell you you got the job, congratulations" she said cheerfully
• I instantly opened my eyes. what? I got the job. How is that even possible? Miracles do happen, right? I know of that fact.
• "Thank you so very much" I am super excited to hear that.
• "You will start on Monday so come early at your first day at job and this is Lizzy, bye"
• "Bye, lizzy" I giggled to myself when I finally got the job. But why did he employ me after insulting him? I guess there is something behind it, but who cares? The only thing I should think about now is the job. I am looking forward to how my first day will be.
