Chapter 3 The celebration

Ok, ma," The man in his thirties said. Everyone in the office respected Vanessa because they assumed that she was closer to Ethan than anyone else

...

Olivia's POV

"Hello," I said as I picked up the call,

"Oh my God, ok," I said after I heard what the person at the other end of the call said

After the call ended, she jumped up in excitement

"Thank Goodness", I jumped in excitement; I picked up my phone again and dialed Martha's number

"I was hired" I screamed; my phone was on speaker,

"What!" Martha said in disbelief; I am sure she didn't expect that Ethan would hire me because Ethan has the high taste and wants the best

"You must be talented," Martha said,

"I can't believe this. This calls for celebration," Martha said

"Yes", I agreed in excitement

"I'll come over to your place after work," Martha said before she hung up

I was excited, this meant a new beginning, and my life was about to change. With this job, I could be the independent woman I wished for, and the excitement overwhelmed me so much that I stopped thinking of Daniel for the moment

I opened my wardrobe, checking for what I could wear to the evening out with Martha

Olivia's POV

After four hours, Martha drove over to pick her up from her house

"You're so lucky, girl" Those were Martha's first words as soon as she saw me. I was smiling with excitement, upon seeing her approaching me.

"I know. It all happened in s day", I responded

"I bet you impressed him," Martha said. She knew her boss and what he could do; Ethan was a no-nonsense man. He could get you fired quickly, and there's nothing you could do about it,

"Is there anything you think I should know before working in the company? You know how I'm working for the CEO as his PA?" I said I knew Martha would be of help to me, and it would be great if she asked a senior staff about the rules of the place

"Em... Well, you must be careful around Ethan, he hates nonsense, and he loves punctuality and commitment," Martha said

"Who wouldn't like punctuality and commitment? Of course every serious company needs punctual people and every employee also knows that's the first thing and they have to take it serious, at least as a new employee and I know that already," I said and paused

"Is there anything you know that I could do to impress my boss so that I can keep my job? You know I practiced my performance for days, but I can't practice my everyday movement before I go to work?" I said

"Yeah, you're right," Martha said and turned to take a glance at my face briefly

"I believe you can do all things, a lot of people came for the interview today, but you were given that position, and I bet you've already impressed him," Martha said, but she got no reply from Olivia

"Just make no mistake, he hates mistakes," Martha said, and that word rang into Olivia's ear

"I'm very clumsy, Martha," I said

"Well, try not to be clumsy and be you because you're perfect in being you," Martha said as the car came to a halt in a big mall

"Let's buy you working clothes and other accessories," Martha said.

"Oh my goodness Martha, thank you so much. Do not worry. When I start working and earning my money, I will take you out shopping, too," I said, while smiling widely

"You don't have to do that," Martha said

"No, Martha, you've been so kind to me, and I don't know how I can thank you, this will be my way of showing gratitude" I said

"Ok, let's say you owe me a favor, and if I need your help with something, you promise to help me," Martha said

"Yes, I promise to help you, I Pinky finger swear," I said, and we walked into the mall happily together. I shopped for beautiful gowns and cooperated wear for the office

While shopping, Martha stared at me for several minutes

"What is it, Martha? You've been staring at me for quite some time now. Is there anything that you'd love to tell me," I asked

"Olivia, I'm just glad you could get over Daniel" Those words were like bee stings; the thought of Daniel came into her mind again

Martha saw my sudden change of mood

"I'm sorry if I reminded you of him again," she said
