• It was beautiful the interior was fancy and looked expensive there were two white couches one was placed in front of a huge floor to the ceiling glass window and the other across it and a glass table between them.
• To my right, there was a desk on which files and office supplies were neatly placed and with a big black swivel chair behind it.
• Against the wall, there were large cabinets made out of dark woods and a few potted plants placed expertly in the room completed the look.
• Sitting on the couch across the wall was a man wearing a very expensive black Armani suit
• His features were dark and intimidating. He had a sharp jawline, pointed nose, jet black hair, kissable lips. He was very handsome and a bit intimidating, looked deadly, ready to strike anyone, however, he was a bit familiar to me, though, I have no clue how.
• "Sit down, I don't have much time, " he said with a rough deep voice.
• I flinched by his voice, It was a bit rude too.
• I quickly sat down across the couch and gave my file he took it without glancing at me.
• He was scanning my file without void emotions,
• "You're a student, " he said,
• " Y-y yes " I shuttered,
• "Why do uh want this job?" He asked, still not looking at me.
• "Sir, I am a high school student I work on a daily basis so that I can live without depending on my grandmother, I really need the job so that I could live "
• He didn't say anything still checking my file,
• "Your academic Marks are good, however, I gave funds to your school. It's one of my properties. I will give a scholarship to you if you work hard " he said,
• I was a bit confused, does that mean I got the job?
• I thought to myself.
• "You got the job, report shortly at Monday 5:30 pm "
• I thanked him.
• I was about to get up he looked at me I looked into his eyes, As thunderbolt hit me, I sat still like a statue.
• I recognized him,
• He was the same guy from that restaurant and park.
• I Didn't show that recognition On my face, He didn't show it either.
• We looked at each other for a few more minutes and I broke the staring contest by turning my head.
• I was a bit scared to look at him, Man, he was scary, not my mistake.
• "You can leave," he said, in his harsh voice.
• I quickly turned to leave,
• "Wait, go to the reception and tell her to give the file take it and read it carefully"
• "And...I don't like people who are irresponsible" he said, with a deadly Glare, I was literally shaking to look at him.
• I gulped and nodded. I turned to the door, opened it and stepped out of the office. I released the breath I'd been holding, I looked back at the office once and started walking towards the reception and took the file from the receptionist and went back to my home.
