Chapter 2 2

In conclusion, I'm single. I'm waiting for the right person, even if at my age I really don't believe in it anymore. I had to make a decision: if at 35 I still don't have a real relationship, I'll have a baby and keep quiet, marriage isn't for everyone. I don't blame myself for not taking advantage of the opportunities I had, I was busy managing my family, that's my priority, if because of my family I don't have a husband it won't hurt me. seeing them happy, seeing my father well makes me happy.

I'm currently unemployed, and yes, covid 19 has ruined everything, the company where I was working closed down and we're now on the dole. In the meantime, I've had a few jobs for a few months that I've already used up, and now I'm really looking for a job, a real one, and I'm tired of odd jobs. I do secretarial work, office automation, communications and marketing, so I wear many hats, which often works in my favor. I'm out this morning on my way to an interview for the position of executive assistant in a telephony, communication and advertising company. I like it because I embrace all these functions, who knows maybe it's thanks to these assets that I'll be recruited, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The company is top-notch, and if I'm hired, I'll have a thanksgiving mass, I'll finally be able to pay for my father's care without getting headaches, and I'll pay off my debts. I've put on a blue jacket and trouser suit with a white bustier inside, and I'm wearing the heels I like. I feel beautiful and well dressed for an interview. I'm going to stop the cab, I don't want to be late and if I take the motorcycle I could have an accident or even fall into the water ehh I don't want that kind of incident. Before going out, I made my father breakfast, which he'll take when he wakes up. I looked at his remedies and there's a box that's just finishing. God will help.

I'm already on my way to wait for the cab, they always come by loaded with stuippp it's even what this is. The time is passing ohh I'm going to be late, maybe I have to cross over to the other side because sometimes it goes both ways especially if the road is blocked. Pfff je traverse ''

She hurried across the lane, but an oncoming car saw her from a distance and braked just in time, causing her to fall. A gentleman got out of the car, rushed to get her up, and Carla exclaimed nervously

Didn't you see me? You could have killed me!

Sorry madam, I didn't see you, you could have been more careful or even looked before crossing the road.

She gets up and looks at her clothes, which she begins to rub to remove the dust.

And besides, it's my fault, isn't it? When you're in your big cars, are you still looking ahead? stuippp, nonsense!

The man's looking at her, he doesn't know what to do, you can tell he's really angry.

_ once again, excuse me

Didon, get out of here with that. Are your excuses going to clean up my outfit? You know where I was going. If this is witchcraft, you can't fool me. Have a nice day.

She rushes off to the other side of the road and the gentleman gets into his car, continuing on his way. Carla removes a handkerchief from her bag and cleans her shoe, which has caught some mud. She fixes her hair and glances at her watch. If she takes the cab again, she'll be late, so she might as well take a motorcycle. Nervously, she starts to stop a motorcycle, muttering insults.

_ a bastard like that. It's a good thing there was no water on the way or I'd be wet all over stuippp

A motorcycle stops in front of her.

_ where are we going beauty you're talking to yourself.

She squeals before answering

leave me to the oxford company

_ it'll be 500 miss we don't bâche

.

_ because you think I look like someone who tarps.

'' Yes it often takes that to make people think we're not suffering when I only have 1000 fr in the big purse I'm holding mdr ''

_ ehh miss don't get angry go upstairs you're very upset the father did not do well at night?

She bursts out laughing and gets on the bike.

All along the way, she tells the incident to the motoman, who listens attentively and applauds her for having insulted this man who thinks he can do anything because he has a big drum.

Meanwhile at Oxford. The same vehicle that nearly ran down the beautiful Carla earlier has just parked in the company's large yard. The gentleman gets out and is escorted into his office by a security guard.

🤵'' Hello folks I'm Christ oxford, yes like the oxford company that bears my name the very name of the Chairman and CEO. I'm a 38 year old man, young enough to have built this empire when you know what you want in life, you don't waste time, you work hard to get there. I'm not going to throw myself a lot of flowers, I'm not the type, or maybe I am, because I haven't done anything illegal, I've obtained all my assets legally and with my own votes. Easy is not in my dictionary. I've been divorced for 4 years now. I don't like talking about my ex-wife, she's a witch, she took me for her toy, her pawn... I was so naive on that one. My ex-wife is the worst disappointment of my life. I regret why I married her and why my two boys came out of her womb. I had to do DNA tests on them and they are definitely mine. I advise my brothers to do it often for their children because the witches we have for wives at home are capable of anything. My ex-wife destroyed me, I had loved her so much, she laughed at me, she was an unfaithful materialist, she even gave me diseases that I treated, I saw every color with her. 7 years of false marriage by the grace of God I saw her game and I asked for a divorce with proof. The verdict was in my favor, even the small compensation she didn't receive. I left her in charge of taking care of the children until they grow up, then I'll get them back. Since we're in the same town, I see them constantly. My ex-wife is a she-devil because of her I hate women I never want to marry again it was good for me. My business is now my wife and I put all my time and love into it and she never lets me down. I have two girls with whom I deal, well it's nothing serious, you know that a man can't stay alone so occasionally I call one she comes to relax me. Never at home, ah no my sex plans always take place at the hotel either in my office when everyone's away or even in my car. No one in my house, it's a sacred place for my children, I don't want to see the traces of a little freeloader in my home. People say I'm arrogant, boastful, arrogant, yes, it's true, I feel that way, it's normal, I have the means for my politics, maybe that's why I don't have any friends, I just have my partner and manager Bob with whom I work, whom I consider a good friend, he understands me and doesn't judge me. Apart from him, I have small acquaintances with whom I often go for a drink, although I'm careful because these so-called "friends" envy me a lot. I'm afraid of poison, so most of the time I'm at home with my children or with Bob.

I'm 1m75 for 70 kilos.

I take care of myself, I eat organic food and I do some sport, I recommend it. This morning I have to supervise the interviews myself, because when I leave the job to the human resources department, they bring me anything I want. I'm tired of the whining and useless assistants who have passed through here, I need a good hard worker who can wake up even at 5 a.m. to do a job, who will be indispensable to me, that's what I need. My last assistant left and told Bob that I scold too much and treat him badly... Anyway, I'd already planned to fire her, so... She's a weakling I don't need weaklings I work with stronglings and winners.

My door opens and it's bob, he's always on time for work despite our proximity, he doesn't joke about work and I like that. We're friends, but we know how to keep things separate. He pulls out a chair and sits down; you can tell he didn't sleep well. I hasten to ask him why he looks the way he does.

_ it's been a busy weekend on your side, I imagine

It was hot. I was with my wife at the wedding I told you about

ah ok. She's your girlfriend not your wife and stop giving her too much importance I've already told you that women are witches one day you'll prove me right

''He's straightening up, he doesn't like what I've just said.''

_ how many times do I have to tell you that the story you had with your wife isn't general, your life isn't mine

Ex-wife, please. I used to talk about her just like you did, you saw the result, Nobel Prize for bullshit!

hahahahahahaha

'' He's laughing his ass off and it's getting on my nerves, I don't even know why I started this subject, it's likely to end up in an argument as usual and we don't have time for that. He gets up and goes to get some water from my fridge...he takes a drink and comes back to sit down''

_ I pray that you meet a woman who deserves you ah yes I pray for that

stuippp I told you I'd never have another woman in my life. Let's move on please, where are we with the candidates?

_ two have already arrived.

this time I'm going to take part in the interview myself tell the HR manager when the conference room is ready you'll let me know

_ ok

He gets up and leaves... This is going to be a very busy day for me. Let's get to work!
