Chapter 3 EPISODE THREE - UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER 2

Not too long later, Alice was called in for the interview. She took in a deep long breathe and walked into the office with as much confidence as she can muster.

"Oh..my..God!" Alice exclaimed, the file she was holding fell to the floor.

It was the guy she met at the airport yesterday, the same guy she spilled coffee on he was sitting at the extreme end of the office.

"Miss please take your sit," the interviewer said.

The man was initially reading through her resume but had to look up when the lady at the door didn't move an inch. He looked at her closely, she was very beautiful with a cute face and round eyes, her skin was very fair and her dumbstruck look added to her cuteness.

He usually hates people who can't control their emotions but he was surprised that he found this lady cute.

What's wrong with me, he thought.

"Miss can you please take your seat so we can start," the interviewer said.

"O..Okay Sir," Alice said and hurriedly took her seat with a nervous expression, if before now she was now she was nervous now she was so close to wetting her pants.

"So Miss Alice, can you please tell me about yourself?" The interviewer asked.

"My name is Alice, 24, this is my first application as a secretary

........

An hour later, Alice came out of the office, she called Ana to meet her at the parking lot.

"Hey Alice, how was the interview, you sounded down?" Ana asked.

"I don't think i will get this job maybe I should apply at another company," Alice said.

"Why, what happened in there?" Ana asked with a worried expression.

"The other person in the room, who is he?" Alice asked.

"My boss, owner of the company," Ana said.

"Damnation!" Alice exclaimed.

"Now you are making me scared, what happened?" Ana asked. "Yesterday my flight was delayed so I went to get a cup of coffee, on my way out I bumped into this handsome god and spilled the coffee on him, worst of all I offered to follow him to the washroom," Alice said.

"That handsome god is your boss, I'm sure he won't employ me after yesterday," Alice added.

"Hahaha, you really did that," Ana said.

"I told you something serious and you are making fun of me," Alice said.

"I'm sorry, I really am but I don't think you have anything to worry about," Ana said.

"My boss is a professional, I don't think he will judge you on what happened yesterday," Ana said.

"I don't think so, I should get going, you too go back to work, tomorrow i will go job hunting again," Alice said.

"Okay take care," Ana said and went back inside while Alice went back home.

A Week Later

Alice didn't get a reply from Golden Group of Companies, the company Ana' works, so she submitted her resume to some other companies. She got home from an interview an hour ago and was making an order for dinner when a call from an unknown number came interrupted her.

"Tch, I hope it's not one of this scammers or marketers," Alice said picking the call.

"Good day am I unto Miss Alice?" The caller asked.

"Yes this is her, how may I help you?" Alice asked.

"Felicia from HR department of Golden Group of Companies, I want to glady inform you that your application was reviewed and you have been chosen to be the cost accountant of our company," the caller said.

"You say what now?" Alice asked surprised.

"Miss Alice, you have been offered a job at Golden Group of Companies as the executive secretary of the CEO," the caller said.

"Really?" Alice asked still very much surprised.

"Yes you are expected to start tomorrow, good luck," the lady said and hanged up.

"WoW," Alice said still disbelieving the fact that they actually gave her the job.

Ana entered the apartment and saw Alice sitting on the couch in a trance.

"Alice," Ana called out.

"Ana," Alice scream and hugged her then she squealed around the house.

"Can you please calm down, what's making you this happy?" Ana asked.

"I just got a call from Golden Group of Companies, you are looking at the new executive secretary of your boss," Alice said.

"Really that's a wonderful news, I'm so happy for you," Ana said.

"I'm also happy for myself, you know what," Alice said.

"What?" Ana asked.

"You will go inside your room, change your outfit and we will go out, my treat, we need to party," Alice said.

"I feel you girl, just wait here I will be out in a jiffy," Ana said running to her room.

Ana quickly changed her clothes and they left, they went to a five star restaurant and had a nice dinner, they would have gone to the club but they both had work tomorrow so they couldn't get drunk.

Next day

Alice was up very early in the morning, she even barely got enough sleep last night because of excitement. After taking a bath and putting on one of her best clothes she left for work along with Ana.

.......

"Good morning Sir, I'm Alice reporting for duty," Alice said but got of a hmph from the boss.

He made a call to the intercom asking someone to come in the office. Not long after, a man probably around his late twenties walked in.

"Good morning Sir, you called for me?" The man ask.

"She will be the one taking over your position so I will be leaving you in charge of training her before you leave," the boss said.

"It's my pleasure sir, follow me," the man said and left with Alice.

"So you will be my replacement, I've never doubted Sir Anthony's judgement but I'm beginning to doubt this one, the man said sizing up Alice.

"Anyways I'm Jacob, Executive Secretary of Sir Anthony," the man said.

Isn't supposed to be former, Alice thought.

"So what do you know about being a secretary?" Jacob asked.

"Nothing because this is my first job as a secretary," Alice said.

"So what was your position in your former working place?" Jacob asked.

"I was a waitress back in my home town but I'm a fast learner, I'm just within weeks I will become good at this new job," Alice said.

"Tch, as I thought you were just so so, I hope that at least you won't cause trouble or be a burden to Sir Anthony, anyways let's begin," He said.

The whole day was spent with Jacob explaining the demands of her job and how things were ran in the company, when it was time to get off work she went to look for Ana and they left together.
