Be our secretary

‘She’s the vice president of the popular Immortal group? Why would someone like her want to meet me? Did It have anything to do with the past?'

"Don't be afraid Miss Minaj, I would love to see your today, I have to travel back to Liverpool tommorow"

Balqis shrugged as she let go of the handle to let her in. Considering her very well-ordered speech and calm demeanor, she felt it wasn't a bad idea to have a chat with her, even if she came to slander her or anything bad relating to her past, she should listen to her at least"

Carina Carter looked at the furnishings and the surrounding of the living room, She didn’t seem bothered by the small size the room or the simple furnishings. There was no hint of sarcasm o insult. She just looked around, smiled at the children, then started a conversation.

“I am sorry for coming unannounced, but I came to inform you personally that our Immortal Group is looking for the best secretary. You might wonder why I stepped in, well our President is very picky, he had fired over twenty secretaries over thjs year"

Balqis opened her mouth in wonder “Twenty of them?"

Miss Carina smiled at her comment then she continued, "Our President is very conservative, he don't like people that makes mistakes or didn't know anything about the job they were given and most ladies are mostly after his body, therefore we need a Therefore, we need a perfect professional secretary for him"

Balqis’s eyes moved here and there. The conclusion in her mind was unbelievable. “So you're saying, I a the one you're looking for?"

“You are right, Miss Minaj, We have been searching for a very perfect person for the post and we came across your profile on social media and everything about you, so we thought you're the best candidate for this post"

Baliqis was more surprised at what she said, how can they just choose her based in what is in her social media profile? Those bad news about her? “But, Miss Carina, I haven't worked as a secretary before, as you see in my profile, I am a blogger, I sell our face for money, I do photoshoots and attend interviews and fan meetings"

"Although I studied marketing at school but my bachelor’s degree is low, not a master’s or doctoral degree. Is it possible that I am the person you are looking for? Or perhaps you got the wrong person?”

Carina didn’t change expression. Her small lips remained curved at a perfect angle. “Before you became a blogger, You succeeded to reach the position of manager in just one year and ten months after your internship. While working as a blogger, you have worked as a Marketing officers for the brands you modeled for right?"

Balqis was surprised that she knew so much about her past, among which she had forgotten about herself.

"But Miss Carina, the scandal about me five years ago has not been forgotten yet, even though I looked older and different, people still point at me as a washed up celebrity anywhere I go, don't you think that will affect your company?"

Without listening to her jamtalks, Carina placed a cheque on the table. “This is the compensation we offer for the new workers, if you're willing to work for us"

Balqis stretched out her head, her mother who was also eavesdroping strained her neck and caught the figures in the cheque.

She gasped, That is a huge amount of money, that could feed her for a month... no a year.

"What is happening?"

Suddenly, Vivian put down another paper. “This is the compensation if you can survive more than a month.”

Balqis’s eyes grew wider. That’s enough for her to take care of the twins school fees and even pay her rent if five months advance.

As soon as the last paper was put down, Balqis’s mouth fell open ajar. She hasn't made so much money as this after the scandal.

'If that amount goes into my account every month, then I'll put the twins in a good school and Mom can also retire from the library!, And... And... I might even make my comeback to the screen after making so much money' she thought.

“Hey, Mara. How much is that? You’re better at math,” Macey whispered as he nudged his younger sister’s arm.

“I don’t know, Macey. I only know that if there are three zeros, that’s two thousand. That’s four zeros. Is it twenty thousand dollars?”

“Mommy, accept it. There are a lot of zeros,” Macey whispered, covering his mouth with one hand. Carina held her lips in laughter, but Macey cared less.

“If Mommy accepts this job, that means we have to move to Liverpool. Kids would love to move to Liverpool?" Balqis asked in a wise tone. She didn’t have much time to deliberate in the other room.

Receiving such a serious question, Mara blinked, while Macey looked at Carina with a curious expression. “How is your city, Missy? Is it safe and fun? Is there an amusement park and ice creams bars there?”

Carina laughed even more and held his small cheeks with care, "The crime rate tends to be low and it’s a cool city. There are more playgrounds and shopping centers there. You can have fun with your mom on the weekends and the ice cream there js very tasty"

Madam Monica came out of her hiding, "What about the library? I am a librarian, and i love to read books too?" Carina finally let out a laugh at that.

“What a coincidence, we just built a library. It’s a charity project. If you're willing to work there Granny, we will be happy to welcome you.”

The twins jumped up in ecstasy and ran around the room in jubilation, "We don't mind it, we are going to Liverpool... Yay!"

Seeing the hope radiating from the twins’ eyes, the corners of Balqis’s lips rose by themselves. She no longer needed to ask. Who the CEO, was and how annoying he was didn’t matter at all. In order to support her two little angels, she was ready to face the Conservative big boss.

‘This is the time to make more money and make a huge comeback to social media and give Macey and Mara a good life' She thought.
