Chapter 2 Job interview

"Good morning sir, " she muttered barely above a whisper. "Are you still standing there? Go get me some coffee," he commanded coldly. Diana blinked in confusion, but quickly turned and walked out of the office, heading back toward the reception desk. "Hi madam, she greeted politely. "Please, can you show me where I can get coffee for the boss?" "Oh yeah, sure. Come with me," the receptionist replied kindly. "Thanks, I appreciate it, " Diana said with a grateful smile as they walked off. A few minutes later, Diana returned to Kane's and gently placed the steaming cup of coffee on his desk.

Kane took a sip and immediately spit it out "Why is it hot? Do you want to peel off my tongue?"He snapped "Sorry sir I thought it was warm," she said, nervously. "Don't talk while I'm talking. Now get out of my office and make sure to be here by 8:00 a.m. sharp tomorrow morning." Diana froze her heart pounding. Just like that But instead of dwelling on the harshness, she smiled to herself. It doesn't matter. I got the job. That's all that matters. "Thank you, sir, see you tomorrow," Back at the reception, she dialed Emma's number . She picked up immediately, like she has been expecting the call. "Guess what babe!" Diana said "C'mon you know I'm a terrible guesser. spill already-I'm drowning girl!!" Emma said. "Well I got the job!!! She screamed, drawing amused stares of other staffs nearby. She quickly lowered her voice. "Woooow, babe am so happy for you!" "I can't leave my duty post right now but I swear I'm coming to sleep over tonight ." "No problem, sugar. I'm expecting you! I'll even save some of Grandma's magical mashed potatoes," Diana teased "Gosh, I'm already salivating! Bye girl" Diana boarded a cab and arrived home, where she met only Mr. Maxwell in the sitting room. "Sugar daddy, I'm back!!" She called playfully. "Ohh my Little angel welcome back How was the interview today baby?" he asked warmly "I'm not your little angel daddy I'm a big girl" she pouted playfully. "C'mon you will always be my little angel" Mr Maxwell chuckled "Well ... I got the job daddy " she beamed. "Ohh congratulations Angel, this calls for celebration! I will inform Grandma right away." "Alright daddy I will be in my room, " she said, climbing the stairs. She entered her bedroom changed into a simple white singlet, with matching shorts. Jumped onto her bed and drifted off to sleep. Meanwhile in Kane's office... Kane sat behind his desk, staring into space. He couldn't stop thinking about the girl he just hired without even looking at her credentials. Her green eyes... they hunted him. He can't even wait for tomorrow to see her again. Why am I thinking so much about her? Is this me? This was the first time a woman had affected him so much. "Well", he muttered, "we will see where this leads. With a sigh, he buried himself in paperwork Diana woke up after hours of sleep, her stomach growling. "Gosh, I'm hungry" she mumbled. She stumbled sleepily downstairs and found Jaxon chatting with his best friend, Lucian. "The Little Witch is awake" Lucian teased, and Diana shot him a glare. He Laughed. Turning to Jaxon, she asked, "Bro I'm hungry Did you cook?" "Aren't you the one who's supposed to cook for us?"He replied Rolling her eyes she walked to the kitchen and hastily whipped up noodles and chicken. She dished her portion and left the rest for the boys. Lucian on the other hand kept stealing glances at her. he had been crushing on her since they were younger_ but Diana only saw him as a brother. " "She's grown so beautiful", he thought "If only I have the courage to make her mine." Jaxon stood up entering the kitchen to serve himself and Lucian. After eating, Diana washed the dishes and headed back upstairs. Her mind,, wandered to the striking yet cold boss she met earlier. And she smiled "Diana, hold yourself", she muttered. "he doesn't even like you" An hour later, Grandma and Mrs Maxwell returned looking very exhausted Dee baby! Dee babyyy grandma called from the hallway. "I'm coming!" Diana replied, rushing downstairs. "Welcome, mummy. Welcome, Sugar Grandma. How were today's sales?" she asked. "It was fine love I made enough sales today" Grandma replied cheerfully "Mummy you're quiet are you okay?"Diana asked. "Yes darling. I'm good just wanted two to finish talking first. So his was the interview ? "Oh, I nearly forgot to ask!" Grandma exclaimed. "It went well! Out of thirty applicants I was picked. You're now looking at the Assistant Boss of Spintech company!" "Ohh my Gawwd! Congratulations, baby! I promise to make you a delicious meal to celebrate," her mum exclaimed. "But I need to shower first," Grandma said heading upstairs. Mrs Maxwell followed behind. After showering, they came down to prepare dinner. with Diana lending a helping hand they prepared spaghetti bolognese Just the way Diana loves it with roasted chicken . " I'm famished she said dipping her hand in the bowl of chicken" "Food is ready sweetie" Grandma was saying but the doorbell interrupted Diana bolted to the door. And just like she expected Emma was standing outside holding a box of pizza. "Babes! she squealed, jumping on Emma. "Don't blame me if you land on the floor " Emma Joked, rolling her eyes. "You are lucky we are about to eat! Diana laughed. "What's that delicious aroma? Is Don't tell me it's spaghetti bolognese!" "You guessed right baby" Emma rushed to the dining table. "Good evening everyone! Please dish out my meal, Mum I'm famished! "I will do that, baby", Grandma said, chuckling. The atmosphere at the dining table was lively, everybody chatting about their day including Jaxon. "Why isn't Dad home yet ?" Diana asked " I don't know", her mum replied. "Maybe he is stuck in traffic." After eating, Emma and Diana cleared the table and washed the dishes. Once they were in Diana's room, Emma asked" So how was the interview?" "Babe, he only asked me to get him a cup of coffee _that was it!" "Really? Emma blinked. "he didn't give you the entrance exam ?" Nope. Just yelled at me to get out and resume at 8:00 tomorrow." "Wow. that's new. anyways congratulations, assistant boss!" She teased "Don't shout at me while at work else I will punch your face after work " Emma joked Diana laughed. "Why would I do that?" "Let's go to bed, babe. I wouldn't want to start my first day on the wrong foot" "Alright, babe. Goodnight Emma said switching off the light. Meanwhile at Kane's house Kane was gazing lazily at the Television when his Mother Mrs Laura Russell walked in "Evening mum" he greeted "Evening Son, how are you?" She asked "I'm fine Mum" "How was today's work" "Hectic as usual mum he said rolling his eyes playfully" "Hope you've eaten" "I just did not quite long Mummy.
