C3 HIRED
Anya continued walking towards the entrance of the building. The guard just looked at her and the employees inside the building. She really caught their eye and attention. Classy, pretty and nerdy. She has the body too, plus the height. Minus the face mask that was still on her face.
She never wore it before. She was not used to dress like an old aged woman. But that was from the past and she doesn’t want to remember it. She loved her new fashion now, and it was enough.
Anya shrugged the thoughts off. Past is past, as what they said. She continued walking until she reached the receptionist's location. She removed the face mask before she spoke.
She smiled, instantly.
“Excuse me. Where is the interview for the applying secretary?” she asked politely to the receptionist.
The receptionist nodded her head and acted like she was thinking. Anya estimated the woman to be in her mid-thirties. Mirrored to the eye and with a strict aura. If she was not determined to work, she would be reluctant to approach her.
“You’re hired,” she said unhappily. She did not even blink. She just looked stoic as if she was a key toy.
“What?!” she asked incredulously. She was really surprised by what she said. Everything was just as easy. Who will hire an employee like that? She did not even search for her credentials.
With that in mind, she volunteered to show her papers. She presented her credentials to her,0 but she just stared at it. Then the receptionist turned to her again. “No need. You’re perfect for the job. You can start now.”
Shocked. Anya looked at the receptionist. What was this woman saying? Maybe it was just a prank? Anya looked around. Everything was fine, so it was impossible for them to joke at her.
“Are you sure?” she asked, again.
The receptionist nodded before handing her a piece of paper. “That’s Mr. Monterio’s office. He’s expecting you.”
She was still shocked by what the woman said. She was hired as Mr. Monterio’s secretary in an instant. No effort at all. Very impossible.
“Thank you!” He picked up the paper and looked at it. Mr. Monterio’s office was on the twentieth floor. It looked like her office was also there. She was about to walk when the hotel receptionist spoke.
“Lucky bastard! Someone else applied!”
She ignored it and went straight to the elevator. She hit floor twenty and leaned his head slightly against the wall. Her day was stressful but the sudden acceptance of her job was even more stressful. She just hoped his future boss was kind. But from what she heard from random people; Mr. Monterio was a ruthless business executive. He looked like a monster.
She was busy thinking when a man entered the elevator from the fifteenth floor. He stared at her for a moment before he continued going inside. She raised an eyebrow to it because he was obviously watching her.
“What?!” she asked, annoyed.
He ignored her and just smiled foolishly at her. He then received a double whip from her. When they stepped on the twentieth floor, they went out at the same time. Exactly someone called on her cellphone while walking. She immediately took the device out of the bag and answered it.
“Witch! Where are you?”
“Are you okay, Carla? Don’t disturb me now. I’m doing something important,” she replied. She even rolled his eyes as if she could see her. Carla, her best friend, was really annoying.
“All right, you look really busy! I will visit you once in your house while you live together. Get a life, Anya!” she said with a laugh before ending the call.
Anya sighed when the call ended. She kept walking, so she did not notice the bulk of the body in front of her. She collided with it and she lost her balance. She expected to fall in the ground, but it didn’t happen. She just felt her body being held by someone else. When she opened her eyes, a browned eyed man held her waist to stop her from falling.
“Are you okay?” there is a concerned question to it.
“Yeah! Thank you,” she replied while avoiding looking at him. She desperately stopped herself from blushing. She just didn’t know if it was effective. She felt ashamed. First day of work and she already looked dumb in front of this stranger.
“Good! By the way, I’m-“
He stopped speaking when a man approached them. The man she was with inside the elevator a while ago. His crazy aura earlier was gone. He looked lethal and serious. He looked scary and shaky.
“What are you still doing here, Montreal?” his loud voice roared all over the place. He was immediately shocked because of that.
“Relax, Andrius. I was just being polite here.” The man collided with her.
The man immediately turned to her and as before, he turned her head to foot again. She also noticed his blue eyes.
“And who are you?” He frowned when he looked at her.
“I’m Anya. Newly hired secretary,” she replied. She also raised an eyebrow to him.
“What?! You’re my new secretary?” it was a shocking question to her.
Anya was surprised by his statement, but she did not budge. If her boss was rude, she would also be rude to him.
“Yes, why? You don’t want to?”
The man who was with them laughed.
“Looks like, I’m going to visit you more often, asshole!” he said to her new boss before turning around. “Attorney Kraius Montreal, at your service,” he said while offering his hand for a handshake.
She accepted that out of respect for him. He clasped her hand and winked. He wanted to roll her eyes on him. This one was also a playboy which she does not like.
“Stop that getting to know each other thing. You! Get out of this place.” He pointed to Attorney Montreal. “And you!” He swallowed before saying, “Come with me and start your work,” he told her before leaving.
Anya was just shaking. It looked like double stress would happen to her in the next few days of working at Monterio Empire. She still has a rude boss to work with.
She sighed. How could she handle him?
