HER BROKENHEARTED BOSS

OUTSKIRTS OF CALIFORNIA.

6:30AM.

Noel jolted down from her bed immediately she heard the ringing sound of her alarm clock. She groaned and turned it off laying back to sleep.

Scarlet looked at her and shook her head. They were both room mates, also agemates but she would be the one to always wake Noel up from bed.

"Lazy bones" She muttered.

She slapped Noel's butt.

"Get out of bed you lazy dock, It's almost 7am" Scarlet scolded.

"It's not late yet." Noel said trying to get back in bed.

"You better get up cause I don't wanna go meet your manager begging on your behalf today again."

"Who cares?" Noel rolled her eyes.

"Noel!"

"Fine, fine I'm up. Jeez!" She stretched her body.

"Good morning Noel."

"It's now you're greeting me right?" Noel asked taking off her clothes.

"Of course baby. You were just scattered on the bed like an antelope so I decided to wake you up before greeting you. Haven't I tried?" Scarlet teased.

"You're so annoying."

"Please it's Monday morning and I need to be at the office before my manager sacks me." Scarlet gave her a knowing look.

"Are you trying to make fun of me?" Noel asked, glaring at her.

"I guess so" Scarlet shrugged.

Noel groaned and she laughed.

"You better come home early today Noel. Your shift at the restaurant ends 4pm and I will be closing 3pm so be home on time"

"Whatever." Noel rolled her eyes.

"Love you" Scarlet smiled and left.

Noel got down from the bed. Her hair was all messed up, she was indeed a sound and crazy sleeper. She went into the bathroom and had her bath then cleaned her body before applying body lotion on her beautiful and flawless skin.

She was a very beautiful lady who many guys drool over but she doesn't have their time cause she only likes one person and that's Gray Gerald. She could get lost admiring him everyday. Speaking of Gray Gerald, he would be coming to the restaurant she's working for lunch today, she couldn't wait to see him.

She wore her waitress uniform and took some flats. She wasn't used to wearing heels.

After she finished dressing up, she rushed off to work.

FOOD PALACE.

This was a five star restaurant specializing in all kinds of delicacies. Spanish foods, Italian dishes, sea food, french food and many more. This has made it successful because most rich and influential men came there for breakfast, lunch and even dinner. Thus, it was busy all the time.

Their Manager who was also the owner of the restaurant, Mr Osborn was a no nonsense and disciplined man who doesn't tolerate untidiness, lateness and lukewarm attitudes. He is married with a kid.

He kept checking his wristwatch. It was 7:30am and Noel wasn't at work yet. He sighed then saw her running in.

"Good morning sir." She curtsied and smiled sheepishly.

"Why are you late?" Mr Osborn asked.

"It was traffic sir" She lied smoothly.

Yeah, she was good at that.

"Traffic?"

"Yes sir. You know it's morning and people are rushing off to work. Today is Monday and the road was filled with vehicles like motorcycle, motorbikes, Range Rovers, Benz, Lamborghini_"

"Shut up," He cut her off "I asked you a simple question and you are giving me names of the vehicles you saw on the road. You've been coming late since you started working here a week ago and I won't tolerate that anymore. It shouldn't repeat itself again you hear me?"

"Yes sir. I'm sorry sir."

"Better for you. You're going to be the one to serve Mr Gray Gerald lunch today. Don't mess up." He ordered

"I won't sir" She smiled

"Now get to work!"

"Thank you." She scurried to her post and met her fellow worker .

"Late again?" Maureen asked.

"Yes my sister. When did you come?" Noel asked.

"I came since 6:00am and we've served a few business men." Maureen replied.

"Wow. You're an early bird."

"You can be an early bird too Noel." Maureen said.

"No way. I can't afford to loose my precious sleep." Noel said and Maureen laughed.

*****

G.G ENTERPRISES.

The building was a huge one with amazing interior and exterior decor. The office halls buzzed with employees going about their daily activities. Others were seated with eyes fixed on their laptops.

Suddenly they felt a chill and knew the boss was in the building. They all stood up and bowed to welcome him. He only nodded with a straight face and proceeded to the elevator that normally takes him to his office. He was the only person that used that particular elevator.

His assistant hurried to the ones the employees use and took it up to the office. She made sure to be there before him else he would finish her with words.

He finally made it and entered the office while she tagged along. He sat down on his chair and she sat on her own table beside him.

He wanted it that way cause he didn't trust her a bit.

"Raymond!" He called his secretary and he rushed in immediately.

"Yes Mr Gray." He bowed.

"What is my schedule for today?" He asked.

"Sir, you have a meeting with some business tycoons by 10am. After that, you will be meeting with Mr Jones by 1pm to discuss about some foreign goods. Then, you have lunch by 2pm." He said.

"Cancel my meeting with Mr Jones." He ordered.

"Why sir?" He asked.

"My reasons are best known to me. You have no right to question my decision."

"I'm sorry sir." He bowed.

"Get out of my office!" He snapped and Raymond left.

He turned to his personal assistant and caught her drooling.

"Teresa." He called but she was already lost.

He took a little water from the glass cup on his table and sprinkled it on her.

She gasped.

"What were you looking at?" He asked.

"Um-it was nothing sir. I'm sorry." She pleaded.

"The next time I catch you staring at me again, I will pluck your eyes out." He gave her a deadly look.

"I'm sorry sir."

It's just that she couldn't help it. She has been working with him for a week now but was always distracted by his looks. Sometimes she felt like ruffling his hair and force him to make a cute puppy face. The guy was damn handsome!

THE BOARD ROOM.

10AM

It was a round table meeting with five of the best business men in California. They all had same motive to why the meeting was taking place. Mr Gray's table was at the front and it was facing the rest.

"So why are we here?" Gray asked.

"Our meeting today concerns your company Mr Gray." A man who was later known as Mr Harry spoke up.

"My company? How if I may ask?"

"Your sales are increasing by 90 percent and you are making a lot of profit. It pains us to know that you turned down a deal by Jennifer's company." Mr Romeo said.

"Not to talk of the immense profit you could make with her as a business partner." Mr Liam added.

"So you all gathered here to scold me or what?" He asked, getting a bit exasperated.

"Seems so." Mr Harry answered.

"You all are well aware I don't do business with women no matter how huge, large or enormous the profits might be. Why don't you take the deal instead? Why call a meeting to scold me?"

"You see Mr Gray, any of us could have taken that deal." Mr Ezra said.

"Then go ahead and take it. What's the meaning of all these nonsense. I am not interested in her deal and that's final. Good day." Gray stood up and left the room.

"He is such a troublemaker." Mr Brown muttered while the rest were fuming. It angered them to know that the opportunity they were looking for was given to Gray and he turned it down.

Just like that!

*****

1:30pm

"Noel,why are you making up?" Maureen asked.

"Don't you know Mr Gray will be here soon?"

"Is that the reason for all these?" Maureen pointed at her face.

"Yes, because I'm his waitress today." Noel said putting on some lip gloss.

Maureen shook her head and walked away.

Minutes later...

Different types and brands of cars drove into the vicinity. Mr Gray came out of one looking so dashing and cute with his assistant always beside him.

They walked into the restaurant and Noel could feel her lungs giving out as she found it hard to breathe.

"Oh my gosh, he's dreamy." She said.

"Yeah. Now control yourself and get to work." Maureen said

Noel breathe in and out before walking over to him and showing him his table.

He sat down.

"What may I offer you sir?" She asked giving him the menu.

He collected and went through it.

"I'll have rice and tomatoe sauce with an orange juice." He said without bothering to look at her.

"Okay sir. I will be right back with your order." She left to the kitchen and met Maureen then gave her the order she wrote.

"Nice choice he's got there." Maureen smiled.

"Yeah and he didn't even glance at me." Noel pouted.

"Is he here to see you?" Maureen asked.

"No but at least he should have looked to see how beautiful I am."

Maureen laughed.

"You're such a clown. Go give him his food and don't try anything stupid. He is our best customer."

"Fine." She rolled her eyes and took the food to him.

"Here is your order sir." She dropped the food but water mistakenly splashed on him.

"What the hell?" He said.

"I'm sorry sir. It was a mistake." She said.

He ignored her as he wiped himself with a towel.

He glanced at the tomato sauce.

"Hope there is no garlic in the sauce? I'm allergic to garlic." He said.

Noel thought for a while.

"I'm not sure sir."

"You're not sure? Aren't you the one that cooked this food?"

"No I'm not the one but let me check if there's garlic." She dipped her hand in the sauce and licked it.

Gray's assistant opened her mouth in shock.

This lady was in soup. Who gave her the guts to touch his food?

Noel didn't stop there. She took a meat and bit off a little from it then licked her hand.

"There is no garlic in it sir. I have helped you to taste it. The sauce is delicious too and I'm sure you're going to enjoy it" She smiled brightly and continued licking her hand.

Gray looked up to see her face for once

"Where did this psycho come from?"

"What's the meaning of what you just did?" Gray yelled.

"You said you were allergic to garlic and we didn't know if garlic was in the food so I decided to help you taste it to know if the garlic is there or not. I confirmed that it wasn't there so what is wrong with what I did? I only helped you." Noel explained in one breathe.

"Is this how to help someone?" He yelled again and Maureen rushed out.

"What have you done?" She asked Noel.

"He asked if there was any garlic in the food, So, I helped him checked, now he is complaining."

"How did you help him check?" Maureen asked.

"I tasted the food and the meat to make sure there was no garlic." Noel said.

Maureen face palmed.

"I am really sorry sir. Accept our sincere apologies. Let me give you a new set to eat." Maureen pleaded.

"I've lost my appetite." He stood up.

"I'm sorry sir." Maureen bowed.

"I'll let it slide for today but next time such nonsense occurs again, I will stop eating here for good." He dropped the money for the one Noel wasted and left with his assistant.

"Noel!" Maureen poked her forehead.

"Ouch... that hurts."

"Must you always cause trouble?"

"I was only trying to help him. You know I'm new in this. I have been working in companies and haven't worked as a waitress before. It's just a week here." She complained.

"So tell me, in the company you worked, if your boss ask you whether his or her water was cold or warm, you would drink it first?"

"Yes. It's called experimenting."

"Seriously? You are something else. Thank your lucky stars Mr Osborn was not around to witness it. Thank your God he also dropped the money for the food so we will be able to cover up. Else, you would have been fired."

"So he paid?" Noel asked.

"Yes."

She took the food.

"Noel, what are you going to do with that food?"

"What is supposed to be done to it. I'm going to eat it or so you want it to waste?"

"But_"

"Maureen, allow me to enjoy myself. Opportunity comes but once." She carried the food away.

Maureen shook her head. She wondered the kind of planet Noel came from.

After they had left the restaurant, Gray couldn't help but think of what happened earlier.

How could a waitress be so dumb? She was cute too but is he supposed to be bothered about that? She is just childish and he wondered why she got the job in the first place. He swore he would have fired her long ago if she worked for him.

They got to the company and he stepped down from the car. He met his best friend who was also his manager waiting for him at the door.

You could guess why his bestie became his manager. Well, not everyone can put up with an arrogant boss except someone that knows him in and out. Most of his managers were sacked with the excuse of not doing their work right, while some resigned because they couldn't stay around him.

Do you think he cared? Nope he doesn't give a damn!

"Hey, you are back early. I was thinking we could go have lunch together but you left with out me. Why are you back early?" Austin asked.

"I just got annoyed by a dumb waitress." Gray snapped.

"What happened?" Austin asked worriedly "Did she behave like other girls?"

"No. I ordered for food and asked if there was garlic in the sauce, do you know what she did?"

Austin shook his head.

"She dipped her hand in the sauce and licked it."

"What!!!"

"She didn't stop there, she took my meat and bit from it. Can you imagine?" Gray said.

Austin started laughin.g

"It's not funny." Gray frowned.

"It kinda is. She is funny."

"No she's crazy." Gray said still frowning and Austin stopped laughing.

"So you refused to eat?"

"I was too annoyed to eat."

"Let's go back cause I'm starving too."

"There's no way I'm going back there."

"Come on Gray, she won't try it again." Austin said.

"How are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Austin assured him.

Gray hesitated a little before turning back. He and Austin entered the car and they left. He didn't allow his assistant come with him this time.

Teresa entered the office and met the receptionist.

"Hey Reina." She waved.

"Hi Teresa," Reina looked up "You look like someone who just got beaten up. Why is your face like that?"

Teresa sighed.

"Our boss is really giving me a hard time. The aura around him is too cold and unfriendly. It makes him unapproachable."

"We all are used to that Teresa. You just have to get to know him. You even lasted in his office unlike some that got fired days or weeks after they were employed. One was even fired the same day she got the job." Reina said.

"Are you serious?" Teresa was shocked.

"Yes. So try and do things to make him happy. Don't argue with him, he hates that. He also gets annoyed easily."

"If not that I love him, I would have quit by now."

"Take heart dear."

"Thanks. I have to go now."

"Okay, see you later." Reina smiled and Teresa left.

*****

FOOD PALACE.

Noel had finished eating the food when Mr Osborn entered.

"Is Mr Gray here yet?" He asked.

"He came but went back. Said he would be coming later." Noel lied.

Maureen tried to talk but Noel stopped her.

"Okay. I'm going out and will be back in few minutes. Make sure you attend to him well if he comes before me."

"Okay sir." Noel smiled and Mr Osborn left.

"Why did you lie?" Maureen asked.

"To keep my job of course." She walked away.

Maureen shook her head.

Soon, Mr Gray entered with Austin. Noel saw them and welcomed them.

Did I say welcome?

"Hi it's you again. You are here with someone this time around. Come over to the table and I'll have your order." She smiled brightly.

"Is she the one?" Austin asked.

"Yeah."

"She's beautiful." Austin said.

Gray scoffed.

They sat down and she took their order. After placing the food on their desk, she turned to face Gray.

"I made sure there was no garlic in this one. Taste it."

Gray opened his mouth to talk but she shoved a spoonful of rice into his mouth.

Gray eyes widened while Austin opened his mouth in shock.

What guts!!!! She just fed him a spoonful of rice.

Gray mumbled.

"You see Mr Gray? There is no garlic. Enjoy your meal." She smiled.

Gray tried to talk but it turned to a mumble instead.

"No sir. It's a bad habit to talk when food is in your mouth." She said, shaking her head in a disapproving manner.

Austin couldn't help but laugh.

Gray couldn't pour the food back. He chewed and swallowed it then took some water

"Seriously?" He glared at Noel.

"Yes. It's a bad habit." She said.

"That's not what I'm talking about. Did I tell you I couldn't eat on my own?" He snapped.

"Bring your voice down sir. We have neighbors." Noel said.

"Nei...Nei....what Neighbors?" Gray was frustrated.

"Neighboring restaurants. If they hear you yelling like this, they might think we're kidnapping you."

Gray face palmed.

"I give up! I can't put up with this lady." He said and faced his food.

Austin couldn't stop his laughter. This lady was something else. He wondered where Mr Osborn took her from.

"Please leave us to eat." Austin smiled.

"Okay." She smiled and left.

"You are going to get fired soon." Maureen said.

She had seen all that happened.

"I didn't do anything. I only fed him the food so that he will know there's no garlic." She explained.

"You are something else Noel. A clown is what you are!" Maureen laughed.

Noel shrugged.

"Take this and give to that young lady over there." Maureen gave her the tray and showed her the lady's table.

Noel took the food and catwalked past Gray who didn't pay attention to her, his eyes fixed on his food.

"Here is your food ma'am." She dropped the food on the table gently.

"Ma'am? Who you calling ma'am?" The lady asked.

"You of course." Noel answered.

"Do I look like an old woman to you?" The lady snapped

Noel looked at her from head to toes.

She observed that the lady was not too young. Her body was covered with dark spots and her face was a little wrinkled. She discovered the lady must have used a cream that wasn't good for her skin.

"You look like one." Noel answered.

The lady gasped.

"How dare you?"

"How dare I? I don't understand. You asked me a question and I gave you a sincere answer."

"You must be crazy! You are a fool! Look at how ugly you are." The lady snapped and Noel laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" The lady asked.

"You said I'm ugly when you've not checked yourself out in the mirror. Have you seen how you look?"

"Is that an insult?"

"No it's the truth. The earlier you stop the stupid cream you're using, the better for you cause your face is wrinkled and squeezed. And, look at the black dots on your skin like Minnie's bow. In short, you are finished. The cream has finished you." Noel said.

The lady bent her head in shame and was lost of words.

What an embarrassment!!!! And in the presence of Mr Gray.

Austin almost choked on his food as a result of laughter.

"Noel." Mr Osborn called and entered.

He was at the door and had witnessed all that happened.

"Welcome sir."

"Did you just insult this young lady?"

"Young lady? Sir, this lady is old. Can you imagine her calling me ugly when she hasn't checked the mirror?" Noel frowned.

"You should have kept quiet. You shouldn't have retaliated."

"I can't let her go scot free when she insulted me. Just look at her and that slim body she's carrying like crayfish. Do I look like a fool to her? Or is it because I'm a waitress and she earns more than me?" Noel snapped.

"You're a psychopath!" The lady snapped.

"And you need to visit a mental asylum." Noel sassed back.

"Noel you're fired." Mr Osborn said.

"What! That's so not fair. You can't fire me because I quit." She dropped the towels on her hand, took her bag and stormed out.

Gray stood up, glared at the manager before leaving with Austin too.

*****

NOEL AND SCARLET'S APARTMENT.

Scarlet was already back from work. She came back early cbeause she had to take care of some things. She was on the couch watching a Korean drama series when the door opened and Noel walked in. She turned to see Noel fuming.

"Babe what's up." Scarlet frowned.

"Is there food in the house? I just quit my job."

"Is there food in the house? I just quit my job." Noel removed her shoes and plopped down on the couch.

"You quit or you were fired?" Scarlet faced her.

"He fired me then I quit."

Scarlet laughed.

"Are you for real? You can't quit after getting fired Noel."

"My case is different so I quit." Noel was adamant.

"Okay fine. What did you do this time?" Scarlet eyed her.

"Nothing."

"Always nothing."

"I did nothing this time around. I only defended myself against a mean lady, then he fired me."

"Seriously?" Scarlet rolled her eyes.

"Yes. The lady said I was crazy. She called me a fool and said I was ugly. Look at me babe, am I ugly?" Noel asked.

"No you are not."

"You need to have seen how disheveled that lady was. Her face was all wrinkled and squeezed like an old lady. She was looking like someone who was brought out of a refuse dump and she dared called me ugly." Noel said.

"Noel, I can see why you were fired. You gave her fire for fire."

"Yes. I can't leave her just like that."

"It's okay. We will find a better job for you. There's food in the kitchen, go serve yourself."

"Why can't you serve me? I just quit my job."

"You're such a lazy bone."

"I'm not, I have gist. I met Mr Gray today. Oh my gee he's so cute! I really got a good view of him today." She blushed.

"This guy you're dying for doesn't even like you. I'm sure he witnessed your craziness today."

"Of course he did. He should know that his future wife doesn't tolerate nonsense." She beat her chest proudly.

"Future wife?"

"Yes Scarlet. Watch and see how I'm gonna make him mine."

"Good luck with that." Scarlet shifted her gaze back to the television

Noel stood up and made for the kitchen.

*****

"I can't believe he fired her for what wasn't her fault." Austin said after they had boarded the car and set for the company.

"Hmm" Was his reply

"Should we help her?" Austin asked

Gray coughed

"Help who? That crazy lady? Do you want her to turn my office into a hall of shenanigans?"

"That's not it. We could find a job that suits her kind of person. We're in need of a cleaner for your office and the ones around it. She could do that."

"No. I won't hire someone that's gonna frustrate me. She is damn annoying."

"But she's cuter."

"What's your problem Austin? If she's cute then go marry her. Stop troubling me" Gray snapped

"Marry her? I won't be the one to marry her. You will." Austin teased

"God forbid." Gray said immediately and Austin laughed

Soon he got a phone call that his parents were at his house and wants to see him.

Austin got down and boarded a cab to the company while the driver reversed and headed for his house.

*****

GRAY'S HOUSE.

They drove into the compound and he saw his parents car packed outside. He dropped down and ran to see them. They have been out of the country for months now and he didn't know when they returned.

He opened his door and saw them on the couch. His mother, Jasmine stood up immediately she saw him and hugged him before kissing his forehead.

"Welcome mum." He smiled

"Thank you my son. I missed you so much."

"I missed you too. Welcome dad." He bowed to his father

He was an arrogant guy but still has respect for his parents. They were the most important people to him now. Austin included.

"My son is looking more dashing than ever." His father Mr Gerald said

"You haven't changed a bit dad." Gray smiled and they shook hands

"I won't change till your mother changes."

"Here we go again." Jasmine laughed and sat down

She was a very beautiful woman with round eyes and plump lips. One could tell Gray took her face and her lips making him cute and handsome. The only difference in his face was that he took his father's nose.

His father was a handsome man too but always teased his mother that she purposely gave him her face. On the other hand, Gray's teenage brother was the exact replica of his father. His moods depended on his environment. He is sometimes friendly and sometimes rude. He was a tsundere most times but when you talk of looks, this teenage guy was dreamy and cute.

"You didn't tell me you were back." Gray said

"We wanted it to be a surprise." His mother said

"Yeah it was. How was your trip?"

"It was splendid. I had fun." His father replied

Mr Gerald was a very happy and active man unlike his son. You can't blame him though.

"Has the maid attended to you yet?" Gray asked

"No, I asked her to hold on till you come." Jasmine smiled

"I'm here now. Let me go meet her to prepare your favorite meals." He said

"Lia!!" He called as he went up the stairs

*****

THE NEXT DAY...

Scarlet had gone to work as usual and Noel was at home bored with nothing to do or trouble to look for. She took her bath and wore a pink top with black pants, packed her hair in a ponytail and stepped out for a while.

She kept walking and walked past the restaurant when Mr Osborn called her.

"Why are you calling me huh? I'm no longer working here." Noel snapped

"Yes and I'm sorry about that. Please come back. I was wrong for blaming you." Mr Osborn said

"I am not coming back cause I quit." She wanted to leave but he drew her back

"Please I will double your monthly pay."

"I don't care. Excusez moi." She glared at him and left

Are you wondering why he suddenly want her back?

After the incident where Noel quarreled with the lady and got fired, Mr Gray glared at Mr Osborn before leaving. Mr Osborn knew Gray wasn't happy with his judgment and decided to get Noel back so he won't be on Mr Gray's blacklist but she has turned him down and he is confused on what to do now.

*****

Noel kept working and saw a vacancy poster saying they were in need of a cook. It was a beautiful company that sells food products. The lunch lady at the cafeteria just quit her job and they were in need of a replacement.

Noel smiled and entered the company. She met with the manager.

"Good morning ma. I saw the poster that says you guys needed a cook and would like to apply." She smiled

"Okay follow me." The woman said and Noel tagged along

She was brought to the kitchen for a test run. She was to cook for them and they would taste before giving her the job.

"You're going to cook for us now. If you cook well and your food is delicious, we will hire you" The woman explained

"Okey dokey."

"We have a timetable for each day of the week. Today is Tuesday so you will be making spaghetti and meatballs. Are you ready?"

"Yes ma!"

"Alright. The ingredients are there already and are prepared. All you need to do is just to cook okay?"

"Okay." Noel smiled and ran in, shutting the door behind her

"Are you sure she can do this?" One of the employees asked

"I don't know. She's a beautiful lady. She should know how to cook."

"Okay. Let's wait and see."

They heard the sounds of broken plates and falling pots. Noel was working magic in the kitchen. The other employee wanted to run in but the manager stopped her.

"Let her be."

"But ma, she's breaking stuffs in there."

"Just let her be."

"Okay."

Some breaking and banging moments later, Noel came out

"I'm done cooking. You can grab a seat and I'll attend to you."

"Okay." The manager sat down and forced the employee to sit too

Noel brought the food and the manager almost threw up on setting her eyes on it.

"Oh my!!!" The employee exclaimed

"Please what's your name miss?" The manager asked

"Noel ma."

"Okay. Noel, please where is the spaghetti and where are the meatballs cause what I'm seeing here is mashed potatoes."

"Mashed potatoes?" Noel laughed "Stop being silly. That's the spaghetti you're looking at. Taste it okay? It's delicious."

"Mrs Mira, I can't eat this. This looks like what a child threw up. I'm not even seeing the spaghetti." The employee said, facing the manager

"Woah! What did you cook? I asked you to cook spaghetti." Mrs Mira said, pushing the food away

"Yeah, that's what I cooked." Noel said

"But I ain't seeing anything." The manager stood up and entered the kitchen

Her eyes opened wide as her jaw dropped.

"What happened in here?" She yelled

"I cooked." Noel smiled sweetly

"OH.MY.GOSH!!!" The woman exclaimed

There were broken plates on the floor, disheveled pots and water everywhere

"This place is a big mess. Ms. Noel you are fired!"

"Fired? You haven't even employed me yet." Noel retorted

"I don't care. You are fired! Leave my company!"

"Woah! You really have issues." Noel said and walked out

Mrs Mira held her head in awe. Only to cook and the lady messed up her kitchen. She would never let someone like that work for her.

*****

Noel got out of the company and continued walking. She was angry that the woman fired her. She wasn't even employed and the woman dare fire her.

"It's not like I even wanted to work there, I was only trying to do her a favor." She hissed

Then she stumbled upon a poster saying G.G Enterprise was in need of a cleaner. She jumped for Joy and headed for the company. On getting there, she met with Austin.

"Good morning sir." She smiled sweetly

"Oh it's you. What's your name?" Austin asked

"My name is Noel."

"Wow. How may we help you?" Austin smiled

"I'm here to apply for the cleaning job."

Austin smiled

"That's interesting. Follow me." He said and she obeyed

They took the elevator and got to Gray's office. He was busy on some files when they entered.

Austin walked over to where he was with Noel.

"Hey!" Austin said

"Hi!" Gray answered without looking up

"Ummm... a lady is here to apply for the cleaning job."

"A lady?" Gray asked

"Yeah."

Gray looked up and saw Noel who waved at him with a smile.

His countenance changed immediately.

"You again?"
