Chapter 10
- TIA POV
- It was almost lunch break and I wasn't done with the files I was working on when a knock came through on the door.
- "Yes, come in." I uttered as Ella walked in with a box in her hand.
- "This package was sent to you a few minutes ago, ma'am."
- "By who?" I asked curiously as she dropped the box on my desk.
- "I don't know ma'am but there's a card with it." She replied, handing the card to me.
- "Okay you can go." I stated as she took her leave.
- I opened the card to see the beautiful content written by the unknown person.
- "The first time I saw you, I fell for your good manners, kind nature and your beauty, darling. I'm sorry I couldn't reach out to you over the phone due to some personal issues. But I'm sending you a little present as an apology and please, don't say no. Yours, Sarah R.W" I read out with a smile on my face before pulling the box closer to check the content inside.
- I opened the box to find a beautiful blue gown with another card inside and a magazine.
- I took out the gown to see it was a long off shoulder dress which was so beautiful and sexy.
- She shouldn't have done so much for me. It's really beautiful! She really knows my taste in dress and color.
- I dropped the dress on the desk and opened the second card to read its contents.
- 'I know you might feel it's too much but trust me it's not. You can check for any of the latest dresses in the magazine and inform me of your choices so I can take care of it. I will call you later in the day. Take care darling. Yours, Sarah R.W"
- She's really too much. I can't believe she wants me to pick another dress from the magazine and inform her about it. She's the kindest stranger I'd ever come across.
- I fixed back the dress inside the box and the cards and set it aside to check out the designs inside the magazine.
- It would really be rude of me picking up another dress from the collection. This one she got for me is perfect and okay for me but having a look at other designs of dresses isn't bad after all.
- Wow! This is really beautiful! I exclaimed after seeing a pink armless ball dress. I'm sure she's into fashion collections to have such great taste in dresses.
- I kept checking the dresses which are so expensive and beautiful until I came across a page that had to do with a content about a billionaire looking for a wife.
- He's looking for a woman to marry and the price that will be given to the woman is $10,000 which is a lot of money.
- "This is the opportunity you have been waiting for to bring the company back to its normal self and make it more prosperous." A strange voice said to me.
- Indeed it's really the opportunity I have been waiting for all my life. It will be worth it after all. I'll be doing it for my dad, mom and for the company since I was the one who put us in the mess.
- I think I will try out my luck to see if I can get to help the company's situation.
- I checked out the content again to see it was ending today. I really need to try, after all, there's no harm in giving this opportunity a try.
- I turned on my laptop and searched for the website to apply for the interview. After filling all the necessary information I clicked on the apply button.
- Few minutes later I got a notification of the address for the interview and the time.
- I just pray and hope I get lucky to be selected because I really need the money.
- ***
- I pulled over at the parking spot and got out of the car extremely exhausted. I was a bit late due to the pile of files I didn't work on when I took the days off to spend with my dad.
- "Good evening ma'am." Two of the maids greeted me.
- "Good evening." I replied and asked them to help me with the box containing the dress I received from ma'am Sarah and my laptop as well as my food box.
- After checking the car was locked, I was about heading towards the door when my phone suddenly quivered inside my bag.
- I took out the phone to see that the call was from a private number. Without hesitation, I picked the call since the number looks simple.
- "Hello Tia." The voice said in a calm tone which was for ma'am Sarah.
- There's absolutely no way I won't recognize her sweet and calm voice. I'd forgotten I was expecting her call all day long.
- "Good evening ma'am Sarah."
- "Good evening darling. How are you doing?"
- "I'm fine and you?"
- "I'm great dear. I should have called you earlier but there's a lot going on for me right now. I hope you aren't mad about it?"
- "Of course not, I perfectly understand. I received the package you sent to me earlier. It's really way too much ma'am Sarah."
- "It's nothing much, darling. How is the dress, do you like it?"
- "It's so perfect. Thanks a lot."
- "You're welcome darling. Are you busy tomorrow? I want to see you."
- "A bit, I guess. Is everything okay?"
- "Yes, everything is all good. I just want to discuss something important with you."
- "Okay but I have to be somewhere by ten thirty, can we fix it in the afternoon or evening?"
- "Evening will be good, darling. Have a good night's rest."
- "You, too. Good night."
- "Good night darling." She replied and ended the call.
- She's really sweet and kind. If she hadn't sent me that package, I wouldn't have been able to see such an opportunity under my nose. She's indeed a great influencer in my life.
- I strolled towards the door and stepped inside the living room and found dad awake watching the news.
- "Good evening dad."
- "Good evening sunshine. How was the issue at the company?"
- "It's been handled. You don't have to worry about anything. I have found a solution to rebuild the company once again."
- "That's great sunshine. I'm proud of you."
- "Thanks dad. Where's mom?"
- "She went to get my drug."
- "Okay. I will just go upstairs and take a shower before joining you guys."
- "Alright sunshine." He responded as I took the stairs to my room.
