Chapter 2

• She finally got home in evening. She dropped her things on her single sofa, and walked into the kitchen
• “I need something to keep me busy from refreshing my mailbox.” she said to herself as she moves around the kitchen.
• “Okay let’s make a homemade pizza!” she cheered herself up.
• She went for her phone and play song from her playlist then plug in her earpod, she dance while humming to the song as she makes the pizza.
• “Finally, let me see if the time as gone long enough for me to check my mail.” she said as she serves herself the pizza and the reach for her phone.
• “One hour has passed, let’s seeee”
• She opened her mail to see that there’s no notification, disappointed she drop the phone, then takes the pizza to her room.
• “isabelle, you didn't even give them time, and you are just checking your mailbox. Are you crazy?!" She reprimanded herself. "It’s just today, we will see tomorrow, so let enjoy and hope for the best.” she said, after scolding herself herself, just to get better.
• Ding..ding..
• She jump up so fast to get her phone to open the mailbox
• “What? Just what I need.”
• She said, but after reading the mail, she slumped down.
• “Two months notice to evacuate the building because it’s going on renovation, and I haven’t secure a job yet. The last thing I want to do is call Alex, I just don’t want to bother him..
• I guess I won’t have to put all my eggs in one basket, I have to begin another job hunt on Monday if I didn’t get MARS company offer letter.”
• I have been anticipating the moment my email will beep with a job offer letter notification, and of course I have done my research on the MARS company, and I got to know the man I encountered then was Antonio Maxwell who is the President of the company. He is said to be a billionaire and the country’s no.1 bachelor. Cool... But he is a cold and strict man; nicknamed “The Devil”
• There are pictures of him with different women. I scroll, I see picture of a woman, I scroll and see another picture of a woman. But they all have two things in common ‘the blonde hair on their head, unlike my brunette hair, and another thing is their model like shape making me ashamed of my curvy shape and thick thighs for a second, and not to forget the fact that they are all tall unlike my 5ft2. Geez!
• This man has established that he like his women tall and blonde, but try telling that to my heart, I just can’t help it this man is every woman dream come true, and ridiculously, including mine.
• I don’t think I can't stop crushing on him, but I guess I will just keep it to myself. Nope, I can't possibly like that man. Absolutely not!
• *
• Sunday has come and yet no good news I guess it’s now hopeless, it will be another working days starting from tomorrow, and it no notification comes in, I guess I will begin my job hunt.
• Ding…ding…
• "I hope it is it!." I said to myself as I open my mail box to see that I am right, but it’s just the one I have been hoping for.
• “Ahh….oh my god!” I screamed happily.
• “i had thought this wouldn't come anymore." I said to no one in particular.
• I jumped around in joy as I tried to dial my friend's number.
• “Hey bestie, guess what?”
• “oh.. you are such a joy killer, can’t you just pretend and say something else at least allow my to shine it’s my time”
• “I just got the notification now, yeah sure when you get back I will take you out for lunch, bills on me”
• Laughs…
• “Thanks”
• Smiles…
• “Okay, bye”
• Now let me prepare for tomorrow, I remember there is a dress a save specially for a day like this, I opened my wardrobe to find what I had in mind.
• A nice black fitted pencil skirt, and a white shirt the prefect size to go with it. It is not revealing and of course the heels my friends forced me into buying for myself as a gift, and this is where I started having second thoughts I feel like the heels are too sexy for a working environment, but then as long as it matches with what I’m wearing and I feel comfortable in it. It's classy too.
• *The next morning*
• I woke up excited today and you wouldn’t believe I woke up before my alarm rang. I must say after dressing up I neither look overdressed nor the dress too revealing, which is what I’m aiming for exactly.
• Arriving at the company I proceed to get my intern card as the mail suggested and then proceed to the office assigned to me, on getting there I see four persons cubicle and I made my way to the empty one, the last one to the left.
• While trying the make the space comfortable and to my taste I heard the sound of for opening and I look up to see a woman who walked in, and from her look would be in her late 40s.
• “Good morning ma’am." I greeted ecstatically, as I stood up.
• “Good morning, you must be Isabelle, the new intern?” she replied with a smile.
• “Yes ma’am, I..”
• “I am Matilda the Deputy Vice President, Welcome to MARS company, I will be working with you during your internship period. If there is anything you don’t know or need you can always reach out to me."
• “Alright, thank you Miss Matilda.”
• “You welcome Isabelle, I look forward to seeing you around after your internship."
• “Good morning, and who do we have here?"
• I turned towards the voice to see a young lady like myself walks in and gives Mrs Matilda a hug, and then faces me
• “I am Isabelle the new intern, I..”
• She suddenly hugged me too as I try to introduce myself making me lose my breath for a moment. Wow, that was a tight hug.
• “I am Rose and it’s nice to meet you Isabelle” she said beaming at me.
• “Same here, and you can call me Belle”
• I replied.
• “Okay, I am also an intern just like you, it’s just that I came a week earlier than you and there is one more of us too. Her name is Kate, you will meet her soon and be careful, she is crazy. But not to worry, and not to take her behavior to heart she always like that with everyone."
• Koi…koi…The sound of footsteps sounds closer. “Speak of the Devil,"
• Just then a young lady walks in with an air of arrogance which surrounded her, she murmured a greeting to Mrs Matilda and goes to her space not even acknowledging the new face, Rose nudges me on the shoulder and smile as she assumes her sit while I also make my way to mine.
