Adrian continue staring into space racking his head to find a suitable bride to fulfil his father's wish, a smile crossed his face as the perfect lady came to his mind

'Dude what is funny?' George eyed him suspiciously wondering if he was still in his normal mental health

'I found the perfect lady' Adrian smiled widely like he had just won a lottery

'Then let us start the planning right away' George replied excitedly, relived that the puzzle has been solved

Adrian reclined back into his chair, remembering how he embarrassed her and the rude words be said to her when she came for the job interview

'What is wrong?' George asked when he saw the the worried look on Adrian face

'She may not consider my request' Adrian replied thick lines appearing on his forehead showing he was in deep thought

'Charlotte will surely consider your request' George stared at him in confusion wondering who else he had in mind

Adrian hissed loudly, scoffing in disgust when he remembered her cheap trick of seduction

'So who do you have in mind' George asked getting confused about the whole drama

Adrian released a long breath and then narrated the whole episode to George, he laughed out loud when he heard the advice Adrian gave Alyssa

'Do you have her phone number? George asked

'Yes, it should be in the document' Adrian replied looking lost

'I have a plan' George smirked after hearing the whole story, Adrian smiled leaning closer

*******************************

'Baby what the hell happened to you?' Alyssa best friend, Sophie, exclaimed staring at Alyssa whose face was stained with dry tears

'I was fired this morning' Alyssa hiccupped releasing another fresh set of tears

Sophie drew Alyssa closer stroking her hair calmly, whispering assuring words in her hair till she stopped crying. Her stomach growled again making Sophie chuckle

'I made spaghetti, care for some?' Sophie asked heading towards the kitchen

'Yes please' Alyssa answered tiredly as she stood up from the chair heading to the bathroom to wash away the stains on her body

'What are your plans now?' Sophie, asked Alyssa who seems to be in a rush to consume the whole food

'I will just continue my job hunt' Alyssa answered scooping a large quantity of spaghetti into her mouth

Alyssa phone rang disrupting their conversation as she rushed to pick it up; she stared at the screen and saw it was an unknown number

She pressed the answer button placing it on her ears immediately

"Hello, who am i speaking with?' Alyssa sounded curious praying it was for good news

'My name is Dennison from Adrian Enterprise, you have been offered the position of the secretary' the cool professional sounded over the phone

'Alyssa stared at the phone screen not believing what she just heard

'Hello young lady, are you still on the line? The professional voice sounded impatient

'Y....e...ss please' Alyssa stuttered

'You can resume anytime you are ready' the professional voice concluded ending the call immediately

Alyssa stood dumbfounded on the spot pinching her severally to sure she wasn't dreaming

'Sophie i got the job' Alyssa squealed happily rushing to meet her best friend

'Congratulations bestie' Sophie giggled happily as they both did their funny shikira dance

'How do i look?' Alyssa giggled slaying with the outfits and shoes she borrowed from Sophie

She was putting on a black pencil skirt with a white fitted tucked inside; her feet were graced with a pair of beautiful black heels. He tangled golden hair flowed freely and her face glowing under the light makeup

'Girl you look hot' Sophie whistled making Alyssa blush

"All thanks to you" Alyssa pouted her lips making Sophie Chuckle

'You should leave now and also keep the clothes and shoes they look good on you more' Sophie said as Alyssa rushed to give her a big hug and a peck on her cheeks

Alyssa rushed out of the house careful not to fall on her long heels

ADRIAN ENTERPRISE

'Do you think this plan will work?' Adrian asked rubbing sweaty palms nervously

'Trust me baby, she will be here in a split second' George answered feeling like a super hero

Adrian at the sound of baby making weird faces as George burst into laughter

"Rate my fake voice' George asked proudly flipping his short black hair

'It was terrible, like a lost cockroach' Adrian teased him applying perfume on his expensive suit

'Ingrate' George scoffed loudly making Adrian chuckle

'Sir a lady is here for the secretary post' Charlotte bowed her head making Adrian turn his head immediately

Bring her in' Charlotte folded her fist before walking out

'I told ya, my plans never fails' George did a little dance before stepping out of the office

Adrian face broke into a smile as he heaved a sigh of relief, a knock on the door brought him back to reality, he adjusted himself on the chair before answering

Alyssa stepped into his office looking graciously beautiful, his breath ceased for a moment as he refuse to believe that it was the same lady he insulted some moments ago

'Hello sir' Alyssa tucked her hair behind her ear shyly when she saw how Adrian drooled at her

'Good day young lady' Adrian answered going back to his bossy manner

'I'm here because the company offered me the job of a secretary' Alyssa smiled showing her beautiful set of teeth

'Sorry it must have been a mistake' Adrian replied not wanting to give in easily

Alyssa fell in disappointment; she knew it was a mistake coming back to his company

'Why can't i get the job?' Alyssa asked holding back the tears threatening to fall

'Do i need to remind you?' Adrian smirked enjoying his game of teasing

Alyssa shakes her head sideways refusing to be embarrassed again. Not wanting to ruin her makeup with tears, she picked up her bag cat walking out of his office

'What if i make you an offer that worth more than the secretary job' Adrian asked making Alyssa pause in her tracks
