KAYLA'S POV
Beep!Beep!Beep!I groan as I try to turn off the ever beeping alarm clock.
Thud…
I sulk as I fall to the hard floor. I stand hurriedly remembering that today is Evans's first day of school and I've got to get him ready for school. I rush to his room to see him still sleeping.
"Wake up sleepy head" I say, as I shake him awake.
"Aargh" he says, as he hurriedly jolts out of bed. I chuckle and rush him into the bathroom. I tell him to have a quick bath and I run back to my room to quickly shower.
You may be wondering who I am…Hi I'm Kayla Highlander, I'm 22 years old and I stay in a two bedroom flat where I stay alone with my little brother after the death of our parents.
At that time, I was eighteen with no means of lively hood and a huge amount of bills to pay coupled with taking care of my little brother Evan who was then a year old. Life was tough having to work different jobs in order to put food on the table and cater for Evan's needs as well as enroll him in a school. If not for Noah and Lilly my two best friends who were there for me when I needed help the most,ever supportive and assisting.
Most times I think of mum and dad and how different life would have been if the were still here with us and I break down again wailing my hearts out but I have to be strong if not for my sake then for Evan's.
Today I have an interview at the biggest technology corporation for the job of the personal assistant of the CEO.
I personally don't think I'm cut off for the job but my two besties, Lilly and Noah persuaded me and here I am, preparing myself and Evan, before I make both of us late for our first days.
I head for the shower after picking out my outfit for the day from my limited and small closet of clothes. So finally I pick a navy blue pencil skirt and a white full sleeved shirt.
As I wait for the water to get to the perfect temperature, I shed myself of my shorts and tank top which I slept in.
After 20 minutes of washing my curvy but petite body, I'm done and I grab a towel to rub myself dry before putting on my clothes.
I grab my phone to check the time and see I have nearly 45 minutes to get breakfast done, Evan dressed, drive him to school and reach Hawkins Corporation at the right time.
I hurry and put on a thin coat of mascara on my upper lashes and a subtle amount of lip gloss on my plump lips because I am not much of a make up person.
Then I rush to Evans's room to see him all dressed and ready so I take him down stairs. I set his hurriedly prepared breakfast of pancakes and strawberry syrup in front of him. I grab a plate for myself.
"Kayla are you ready for your interview?" he asked and I smilingly ruffle his hair. "Yes I am and you've got to hurry up, if you don't want to be late to school on your first day" I say and he hurries up.
Ten minutes later we are both done with our food. He grabs his bag and lunch, while I grab my handbag and purse. At last, we head outside to my old beaten up car.
Fifteen minutes later I park in front of Evan's school.
"Be good and make friends, alright?" I tell him, as he hops down from the car and wishes me good luck. I kiss his cheek waving at him as he runs to class.
Sigh…
Sometimes, I wonder how my life would be if Evan wasn't in it? But I shrug it off. Because I am happy that Evans is in my life, for he made me the independent and stable person I am today. Thinking this, I rush into the car and head for Hawkins Corporation.
Minutes later, I park in the underground parking lot of the company but I couldn't help but gawk and admire the huge building which has a huge 'Hawkins Corporation' written boldly on it. I found myself thinking of how many floors the building has and my guess was sixty seven.
Suddenly remembering why I was here, I hurriedly check my watch to see I have less than 8 minutes to spare. I hasten up my steps only to bump into a solid wall.
Aaargh.
What the…
I gasp, as instead of staring at a wall, I was staring at the most magnificent pair of blue eyes I had ever seen.
"Are you okay young lady? Don't you know that you have to always look where you are going or did you skip your primary school!" Blue eyes said and I was forced out of my reverie by his unexpected outburst.
"Are you seriously going to pin this on me? Instead of blaming me, you should reprimand yourself, as only a fool goes around on his phone and bumps into people and then blame them." I say as I walk out on him. He surely was an arrogant and unruly man.
I rush to the receptionist desk, not wanting to be any more late due to my less than pleasant encounter with that rude man.
"Please miss, could you help me qith the directions to where the interview for CEO's personal assistant is being held" I say to the pretty nice looking brunette sititng at the desk.
"Go on to the last floor and head to the hall by your right, you'll see a door, then enter the office and wait for your turn." She tells me and I thanking her, head to the elevator and press the button for the last floor which is actually floor number eighty seven! Woah, this building is enormous.
I soon reach my destination and I step out of the elevator and head on to the door the brunette described. Then as I open the door, I see various people seated, awaiting their interview turn. The women dressed in exquisite brands of outfits and men in fine tailored suits.I sit in the farthest corner and I close my eyes, to find myself thinking of my parents death.
It was their anniversary and dad took mum to a fancy restaurant for their anniversary celebration. On their way back, a drunken driver collided with them. My dad died instantly while mum died later in the hospital due to loss of blood.
Tap. Tap.Tap.
I open my eyes to see a blonde lady taping her pen with her cardboard, to awake me from my harsh memory. Then she tells me that it's time for my interview.
I stand and run my hands against my skirt to remove any wrinkles and I open the door to see the side profile of the CEO, answering a phone call. I quickly use the opportunity to access my surroundings.
Man! The office is huge. I was jolted out of my thoughts by the sound of a chair turning, only to come face to face with a very familiar set of blue eyes that I saw not a long ago but only to find them smirking at me....
I gasp as realization dawns on me.The man with the blue eyes is the CEO of Hawkins Corporation!!!
I am soooo doomed...
You may proceed...Liam's POVNever in my entire life, have I been treated and insulted by anyone, more or less a nobody although a pretty one at that."Mr Hawkins, the people who applied for the interview are ready. May I let them in?" said Michael, my secretary. "Yes, let them in" I said, tiredly.It's gonna be a long day.......After two hours of interviewing females, who were openly flirting with me. And males who were trying to get on my good side, let's get this straight. I like the women, but I don't mix business with pleasure. Hence, that's why I turned this women down.Now it's remaining two female candidates.The door opens and a tall and shapely blonde dressed responsibly comes in. At least, she isn't loo
You may proceed...Kayla's POVHow dare him say that I'm unfit for the job?How dare him call me annoying?Uuhhh... What kind of man is that,thinking I'll beg him,in his wildest dreams.I will never
Kayla's P.O.VUgh...I groan as my arch nemesis strikes again..Alarm clock-1,Me-0...Ugh,why won't the stupid thing stop ringing.I fling my hands in an attempt to stop the ever annoying thing,but my attempt fails as I land on my butt on the hard floor.I groan and get up from the floor,grabbing the alarm clock before turning it off and grabbing my phone to check the time and I let a gasp as I realise the time is 7:47am and I've got to be at Mr Hawkins office at 8:00am.I quickly ran to the bathroom and had a quick shower and hurriedly put on my clothes before approaching Evans room only to see him not only wide awake but fully dressed too."Hey baby how are you"I ask him"Good morning Kay,I'm fine and see I got dressed myself"he says while grinning widely.I literally 'awwed' in my mi
Kayla's P.O.VThe day was spent attending to his emails,sorting them into important,unimportant or trash,making his coffee and thankfully not spilling any on him or myself, arranging his schedule and files,in short I was exhausted, my body wasn't used to such strenuous activities of going to one floor or another to drop or get a file faxed.I was very tired and it was barely my closing hour yet.I grabbed the files which needed his signature and headed to his office which was next to mine but way bigger,reaching there I took a deep breath and knocked on the door awaiting a response which didn't come.I knocked again waiting for his reply and getting none I decided to open the door and check for him.On opening the door I saw no one in the office so I decided to look around for where he could be,not seeing anyone around I proceeded to dro
Kayla's P.O.VI woke up quite early today,so I had time to tidy the house and make breakfast.The breakfast was soon done and I made a cup of coffee for myself before going to Evans room to wake him up and get him ready for school on time."Hey baby wake up it's time to get ready for school."I say while shaking him but he didn't even budge,I shake him again"Wake up Evans.""Five more minutes."he whines while turning away from me."Wake up or you are going to get to school late and won't be able to see your friends before class starts."This got him to get up and head to the bathroom to take his bath.Already finished with tidying the house I head to my room to take a long shower as I had over 45 minutes before its 9:00 am,getting rid of my clothes I hop in and grab my shower gel and rub it all over my body ridding myself of any dirt.Twenty minutes later
Kayla's POV"Miss Kayla come to my office now" he said through the intercom.Ughhh I groan and stand proceeding to his office,putting my shoes back on I knock on his door before entering."Sir you called for me"I said as he seemed to ignore my presence.After a few minutes of him clicking on his laptop,he closed it and finally acknowledged my existence"Yes I did,I called to ask if you've prepared the lunch reservation for my mum and I at the restaurant I told you to"he said to me."Yes sir the reservation is for two and it begins in an hour,I've cleared your meetings and appointments for a three hours time frame giving you enough time to discuss and have lunch with your mum"I said hurriedly not wanting to infuriate him the more as his mood seems far from pleasant."That's all you may leave"he dismissed me,nodding I left the office to mine,slouching
Liam's POVAfter dropping Kayla home,I proceeded to drive to my penthouse.Arriving there I took off all my clothes and had a long relaxing bath while thinking about the lunch with my mum.It went well,surprisingly,my mum is someone who doesn't easily associate well with people, don't get me wrong,she is nice and all but the way she just clicked and started conversing with Kayla amazed me because it normally took her a long time before she freely associated with people but apart from that I was thrilled that she has started reacting to her drugs and therapy.Wrapping myself with a towel I went to my room and dressed in a sweatpant and left my torso bare,and headed to my house office where I did my office duties if I fail to make it to the office any day,sitting down I began to sort the files Miss Kayla sent to me.Ring Ring RingPicking up the phone I see Kyle's name flashing on my screeni
Kayla's POVOhmygod!!Ohmygod!!Ohmygod!!!I'm soooo dead.All because of Noah."Noah I'm so gonna kill you,why the heck did you put off my alarm clock"I said more like yelled at him while chasing him around the house while holding a spatula,childish I know,gaining up to him I hurl the utensil at his stupid head.Bulls eye."Why the hell did you throw that thing at me!"he exclaimed,holding his head and frowning."Well you deserved that you made me late for work and trust me I would have done more damage to you but I've got to get to work before I'm fired and you will do the liberty of driving me there without complaining,do I make myself clear?"I say to him and he nods his head.Smiling at him I head to my room to hurriedly dress up,showering for about ten minutes I put on my already prepared work clothes.After fifteen minutes of dressing up and grabbing something to eat I'm
