Stella’s point of view.
“So that’s the man you gave a blowjob on your interview?” I asked instead.
Her cheeks flamed up immediately I asked that question, her eyes quickly averted from mine, as she looked down.
“That’s not what you wanted to say, right?”
“Just answer the question, darling, is he?” I asked again.
She blushed even more and nodded slowly.
“Yeah, but what has that got to do with what you want to say?”
I teasingly wiggled my eyebrows at her because I caught her taking a peak look at me through her eyelashes.
“I guess you’ve hypnotized him with that blowjob”
“Huh? Hypnotized him? What does that mean?”
“You’ve got him falling for you, babe” I winked at her.
Her eyebrows furrowed instantly.
“That’s not true”
“It’s true, he wasn’t looking at you with hate last night, his eyes were screaming love”
Her eyebrows furrowed even more.
“You spent merely five minutes with him and…”
“Five minutes is enough of time to read a man’s feeling, darling”
She stayed silent for a moment, and I knew she’s trying to connect some dots.
“Then why was he bombarding and suffocating me with questions last night?”
“He was keen to know more about you” I answered with a shrug.
“He wanted to know more about me?” she scoffed, unbelievably. “All his questions were about you, and he wouldn’t take his eyes off you when you came back”
Now it’s my turn to furrow my eyebrows because she sounded kind of jealous, but maybe I just misheard her.
“He wasn’t looking at me lustfully, he was just surprised at my boldness, you know, for stepping out in such little clothes”
“Oh”
Oh? Is that a sigh of relief I detect there?
“But he didn’t…”
She was cut off by her phone’s ringtone, which made her groan in frustration and I sniffled a laugh, she glared at her phone for a moment before reaching for it, and checked the caller’s ID, then stomped her feet on the ground as she threw her head back, and let out a fake cry.
Our table’s small, so I was able to lean forward, and took a sneak peek, and realized it’s an unknown number, but judging from her reaction, I guess she already knows who it was -maybe it’s her new boss.
“Hello?” she answered the call after grumbling to her satisfaction.
There was a moment of silence, until she replied “yes” to whatever the caller asked her.
“Who’s it?” I mouthed to her.
“My boss’s secretary” she mouthed back -I smirked.
We stayed in another silence until she said, “Yes, I’ll be there in ten minutes” then hung up.
“Grrrrrr” she groaned loudly, and tossed her phone on the table.
“What now?”
“I told you, that man’s going to be the end of me” she complained.
“He’ll be the end of you in a good way” I winked at her.
“Ellaaaa”
I laughed and raised my hands in surrender.
“But you’ll be fine, you guys might end up together” I winked at her again.
She banged on the table and got up.
“I’m done eating with you” she snatched her bag and phone. “I’m off to work” she took a few deep breaths. “I’ll try not to murder someone’s son”
I nodded, applauded her and gave her a thumbs up. “That’s the spirit girl”
“Come on, kiss me good luck”
She leaned forward, and turned her right cheek to me, then I kissed her lightly.
“Good luck” I wished her.
She waved me goodbye, then dashed towards the door. Watching until she’s out the door, I decided it’s time to get dressed and leave for class.
Releasing a sigh, I cleared up the table before heading to my room.

Megan’s point of view
*Fifteen Minutes Later**
I was watching a TikTok video, when the taxi driver’s voice suddenly interrupted me.
“We’re here, ma’am” he said.
My heart skipped when I heard that, oh, I know you’re thinking my heart skipped because Ella told me my new boss might have some feelings for me, nope, my heart skipped because I know my new boss is stronger than me when it comes to being a pain in people’s àss -we had a chat last night, and I already know my place since then -but not to worry, since I’m here now, I’ll make sure to mind my business, unless he wouldn’t let me.
I looked away from my phone and out the window, sighed and mumbled encouraging words to myself.
“You can do this Meg”
I reached for some cash in my bag and paid the driver, before stepping out of the taxi.
“Thank you, ma’am”
“Thank you too, sir, you have a nice day” I waved at the driver.
He nodded and drove off. I turned around to head into the building, but suddenly crashed on someone, and I quickly jumped back while muttering apologies.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to crash into you, I’m truly sorry” I apologized continuously without raising my head, and checking if he broke anything -I know it’s a he became of his shoes.
“It’s fine, Alessandro”
Alessandro? Does he know my surname? I curiously raised my head to check if he’s somebody I know, but unfortunately, I had no clue who he was.
Then how does he know my surname? I wondered mentally.
“You’re Miss Alessandro, right?” he asked.
“Yeah, but may I know you?”
He smiled warmly, and nodded, then reached out his hand for a handshake.
“I’m Mike Lee, Mr. Belmont’s secretary”
Oh, so he’s the CEO’S secretary, no wonder he knows my surname name.
“You’re Asian?” I asked, referring to his surname.
“Yeah”
“Chinese or Korean or Thai…”
“Korean” he replied.
No wonder he’s got that cute boyish smile, Asian guys are usually cute…wait, what am I thinking?
“Come on, I’ll take you inside, Mr. Belmont’s waiting for you”
I nodded in both agreement and appreciation, mainly because I didn’t want to be asking questions, and everyone would immediately know I’m the new employee.
••••••••••••••
“Ladies first” Mike said, stepping aside for me to pass after the elevator stopped, and the doors opened.
“Thank you”
I stepped out, and he followed suit, then we’re both ended to an office, which seemed to be the only office on this floor -I guess where I had my interview wasn’t the CEO’S office.
“Quick question, Mike”
“Yeah?”
“What’s my job here? A dancer? Waiter? Or cashier?”
He raised his brows, and shrugged his shoulders. “We don’t know that yet” he said.
He doesn’t know? Please don’t tell me my job here is to continuously give my new boss BJs!
We continued walking for a moment, then he stopped abruptly at a door, and made me bump into him again.
“Sorry” I apologized quickly.
“It’s fine” he chuckled. “We’re here, Mr. Belmont’s inside”
I frowned as he gestured for me to go in.
“Are you not coming in with me?”
“Nope” he popped the ‘p’ “I have other things to attend to” he placed an encouraging hand on my right shoulder. “You’ll be very fine, Mr. Belmont is a nice man”
“Are you certain?”
“Yes, don’t be scared”
And just that he’s gone, leaving me to face my battle alone…battle sounds nice -he-he.
I took a deep breath, summoned up every ounce of confident in me, and knocked on the door.
“Come in” I heard distantly from inside.
I took another deep breath and pushed the door open, then stepped in.
My new boss sat on his big swivel chair, with a huge smirk playing on his lips, as though he’s planning something evil against me.
