Chapter 3

ASHLYN

In no time we got there and the interview was so quick, I feel like breeze swept through my eyes. I was accepted as an assistant to the account manager, my results were great, i don't understand why some company rejected me all these while. Maybe the Lord wanted me to work here.

I'm so happy, i got a good job with a good pay.

I won't let aunt humiliate me anymore, and i won't depend on her to give me food any more and as soon as I get my first pay, I will be moving out, to a better place of my own, I can't take all these ad why do I have a feeling she would do whatever she can to make me so ate for work so I get driven? We were both ordered to start working from tomorrow, me and Lydia.

I am so Happy, and I do not feel like going home , so i followed Lydia to get herself some new clothes for work tomorrow. I watched her at the shop while she picked new outfit for herself. After paying with her card, I helped her home

★.......★

Having this mornibg is the most important to me, I have to be at the office so early, of course you all know first day is to show how serious you are towards the job and I can't ruin what I've worked so hard for. My eyes are still open and its 3 in the morning, waiting for the day to get bright so I can make my way.

As soon as I see the morning getting a bit brighter, I jumped out of bed. Had my bath, take a long look at the mirror while styling my hair different ways before claiming beauty. I'm finally set to leave.

I'm already so close to the door without making a noise,not to attract trouble for my self and I hear my aunts hoarse voice "Ashlyn?" Ok, I got caught! I turned back slowly with the guilt all over me

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"To work" i answered plainly

"Going to work then, safe journey" she said. Is this a joke?

"Thank you" I answered. I sincerely wish she answers me. I bow my head as I made my way out. "So, who do you expect me to do all the housechores, while you go to work?" my aunt asked.

Shit, I knew this was too good to be true.

"Am going to teach the lesson of your life ,if you Don't get in there and do the chores"

Tears almost dropped from my eyes, i dropped my bag and went to the kitchen, i was grumbling really hard, hope she doesn't hear All my curse words for her?

On my first day of my new job ,I'll be late, what will they think of me? Will the company still want me?

I promised myself, I won't Wash any clothes, not this morning when I have to go to work! All the clothes will have to wait till I come back.

i cleaned the kitchen and the rooms and i sneaked out of the house ,without reporting to her, if i was done or not. when i get back, am ready to face anything. Hehe... Not really.

So I went to Lydia's house to wait for her. I knocked on the door.

"Who's in here! Open up!" i knocked as I stood at the door.

Mariah opened the door "you ,why are you here?"

Where's Lydia "I asked" with a smile. I really did not see her yesterday, she seems so busy these days.

Lydia came out from the room "ohh ashlyn you're here?"

"I came to wait for you"I said screening her dress with my eyes. wow, she looks perfect for the job unlike me.

" we should leave now, were so late." I say to her.

"see you later!" I said as i waved mariah, she was acting funny and she doesn't answer me that much again, maybe she was having a bad morning.

We got to work, I knew I was very late so i went straight to my bosses office. He was a middle aged man. Sitting in his chair, staring at the paper before him. I stand still in his office, but not once did he lift his head to look at me. I put my hand over my mouth and let out a cough "Ahem..." I coughed. He raised his head about to speak, I don't want a scolding so I first speak to cut him of.

"sir I-" I rushed to say when he Outsmarted.

"Good morning miss shor, i don't want an explanation but

don't ever come late. go" he said as he stood up and walked away.

He did not shout at me , my heart is jingling, I could not stand for any boring dose of stupid lecture from anyone this morning, or i might just melt away. I had already received my usual "Daily scolding".

I bow my head as a sign of respect, although he left, who am I bowing to then?

I started to arrange all the files for a meeting later today.

A Fair short lady came in and asked me "are you new here?"

"Yes" i answered. "Ashlyn right?"

"Yes, I am" I answered her.

"Follow me..."

I followed her out of the office.

"The CEO wants to see all the workers that were recruited yesterday, in his absence" she was talking to some guy. I'm confused with the way everyone of them looks panicked.

"Where is he?" i asked. Strange right?

"In he's office" she answered.

"What does he want to do?" Another asked.

"To reinterview you guys. You see, people don't come to mess up here, he has to be sure of who he takes."

I wasn't afraid at all for another interview, just the way I was taken before, am sure he won't have any problems with me. I stand with my head high, seems she notice.

"you should be tensed" she said looking at me.

"Why?" i asked.

"He might renounce you".

"Why would he do that?"

'Don't ask me miss shor".

We stood outside his office for a while, before he shouted loudly

"NEXT!!"

As i heard the loud next , the last lady inside, ran out crying. my heart jumped out from its position. "huh?"

Love Naomi?
