In fact, my previous table was occupied by someone else. I looked around and felt more confused…
“Where was it if not here?” I thought.
“I don’t know actually. ” I said with a lot of confusion in my head.
“What do you mean by you don’t know. What kind of post was it when you applied for the job? ” she asked.
“Umm… I actually didn’t give any applications or interview.” I looked at her. And she looked at me as if I was an idiot.
“Is there something on my face? ” I asked.
She pulled me at a corner and turned me towards her.
“Have you gone crazy or what? First, you said you got a job here and now you are saying you haven’t applied or given any interviews? ” she said seeming a bit annoyed.
“I know I might sound crazy to you but it’s true. Look.. ” I tried to explain.
“Girl you really are not in your right head. You know this is Golden and how many tests we have to clear before getting accepted here. ” she said.
“I know Anyee.”
“Then why are you… ”
“I’m serious. I’m not baffling. ”
She pouted for a while before asking “Who said that you got a job even without any interviews? ”
“That… ”
“And was he the boss here? ”
“Anyee that.. ”
Then suddenly we heard some commotion another side. The finance section was in chaos. I and Anyee got to there to see what all the things were about.
When we reach there, there was crowd at a side.
I and Anyee break through the crowd to see who was in there. Inside was Liam. The one and only secretary of Mr. Gold.
I felt a bit relieved to see him there. I know i can ask him about Mr Gold and who knows if he knows about my recreation.
When I looked carefully, I found out he was asking about me. And the crowd who barely know me or already forgotten me were all in confusion. Either the people were drooling over him or talking about me.
“Why is searching you? ” Anyee asked.
“I also don’t know. Let me ask. ”
“Secretary Liam”
He turned over and looked at me. His furrowed brows relaxed a bit when he smiled at me.
“Come with me. ” he said walking out of finance department.
“I’ll call you later. Just wait for my call. ” I said to Anyee before running behind secretary Liam.
When he reached the elevator, he opened it. The special one and of course inside was no one. He went inside and asked me to come in. I quietly followed him and stood aside.
“Umm, do you know what will be my job? I mean what department? ” I asked.
“Ohh I don’t know about that. Mr. Gold just ask me to take you to his office so that you can wait for him there. ” he said not even looking at me.
“Ohh ok. Thank you for. I mean looking for me. ”
“No need Ms. Wilson. It was a part of my job. I was told to do that. ” he said.
Ding…
The elevator door opened and I was on the top floor of the building which was Mr Gold’s office mostly.
I walked through the long corridor seeing the people who work here were still only men. Nothing has changed here.
I walked through the office of the vice president. She was in her office still dealing with the works. It was quite impressive that she was working so early.
When we reached Mr gold’s office, Liam pushed the door open and inside no one was there.
“You may sit there and wait for Me. Gold. He said he’ll arrive in a while. ” he said pointing at the sofa.
I went there and sat there.. I looked at the magazine in front of me at the tea table. It was weird that someone really use newspapers in this era.
“Mr. Gold is still in habit of reading newspaper instead of using mobiles to search for news.” Liam said “You can use it if you want to. ”
He went to the left side and I saw there was another table and desk at the corner. I was wondering whose table was that when Liam went up to it and sat there. He began to work on his computer. In a while, he printed out some documents. Then he arranged them in a file and left the office.
I pick up the newspaper after he was gone. It was today’s newspaper. I begin to go through the news when there were some footsteps coming b from outside the office. It was coming towards the office. More closer it was coming the more clear it was that the sound of shoe is not actually a shoe but a sound of heel instead.
In a while, the door of Mr. Gold’s office was pushed open. I looked in the direction of the door and slowly a girl come in like a model walking through the ramp, she was non other than vice president Ms. Bella Scultz. She was wearing red skirt barely covering her full legs and a lower v cut coat like something. It was revealing her cleavage. And a red matching heels at the long and slender legs. Of course, the heels must be hers since only she was the one lady who was capable of working on this floor.
“Good morning, Ms. Scultz. ” I got up and bowed to her since she was my senior.
“Who let you in? What are you doing at Willis’s office? ” she asked coldly.
“Ahh that… It was secretary Liam who bring me here. ” I said slowly and softly.
“Don’t lie to me. Who do you think you are that Liam have time to entertain you. ” she scoffed. “Tell me why are you here ?”
“I don’t even know, secretary Liam take me here and asked to wait for Mr. Gold. ” I said.
“Wait for who? ”
“Mr. Gold.. ”
She looked even colder.
“Are you here to seduce him? What did you do to Liam that he let you in here? ” She said with a rude tone.
“I think you are getting it all wrong. ” I tried to explain her
“No no.. I’ve seen girls like you who can do anything to seduce rich men. You are here just for money. How much do you want? I’ll give it to you if you leave now. ” she said. I can’t believe her she was ready to pay anything to keep a girl away from Mr. Gold.
“I’m not here for money. ” I said firmly.
“Then I’ll give you whatever you want. Just tell me what do you want. ” (Seeing the beauty of Riley Wilson who seemed much younger than her, threatened Bella Scultz. She wanted Wills to ber her so she was behaving this way.)
“I’m here for a job. ”
She went silent for a while before she said “Fine I’ll get you a job at whatever salary you want. Just come with me and you’ll get your job in a while. ” she said.
“I’m here because I got a job here. ” I said.
“You get a job here? What position? ” she asked.
“I don’t know … I will know in a while. Mr. Gold will let me know. ” I said
“Mr. Gold will let you know. What are you saying?” she closed her eyes and she was becoming red and red.
“What’s your name. ”
“Riley Wilson. ”
“Riley what? ” she opened her eyes wide open and looked at me as if she was confirming something in me.
“Are you the same Riley who was working here before…?” she asked with a panicked expression.
I nodded and she seemed pale from panic.
“What did you do to get the job? ” she said. “There are no job vacancies recently. I don’t get any report of the interview…” she said as If she was talking to herself rather than me.
“You are right. I didn’t have an interview before. I just make a deal with Mr Gold. ” I said.
“What deal? ” she asked.
“I’m sorry I can’t tell you. That’s private. ”
“What private? How can a job application be private? ” she shouted and she looked so pissed off.
“Did you seduce him? ” she asked.
I didn’t answer her. It was no use of explaining as she has already have this answer in her head.. She won’t believe me anyway.
“Tell me what did you… ”
Before she could finish, we heard a sound of two pairs of shoeses coming towards the office and it was needless to say whose it was.
Bella Scultz keep her distance from me and stood a few away from me and even her expression was something else.
In a while, the door opened.
