"You're wearing that outfit again," Haxilla said as I walked out to my room.
"What?! Today is my actual interview," I said and sat down for breakfast.
Britanny was preparing the food on the table, and my brow furrowed when I noticed a cake that was unusual on our breakfast table.
"Why are we having a cake? Today is none of our birthdays."
"That's our good luck gift for you," Britanny said, smiling as she sat down.
I'm not sure what happened, but my heart began to skip a beat.
"Thank you for being so sweet." I was about to hug them when they backed away.
I came to a halt and gave them a cold stare. They didn't love me, hmp! I sat down in my chair with a betrayed expression on my face.
"Sel, don't be so clingy. That's not for you, you're too old for that," with a disgusted expression on her face, Haxilla said.
"You just don't care about me," I explained.
I eat a large piece of cake and a hotdog. They both laughed at me, but I was unconcerned about it.
"Selena Formosus, don't be so dramatic. It doesn't work for you any longer, "Britanny said this while sipping her coffee.
I just continued to eat my cake while rolling my eyes at her.
"Are you sure you can go to the interview right now? Your fever has caused you to pass out three times in the last few days."
I continued eating as if I hadn't heard anything from Haxilla. I'm just trying to make them poke fun.
"Sel, Haxilla has questioned you."
I continued to ignore them.
When Haxilla smacked the table, my entire body flicnhed, and I unintentionally tossed my cake to the floor.
"I'm not joking anymore, Sel," Haxilla declared, her voice solemn.
I raised my hands and stared at her, terrified.
"Please relax, okay? I'm joking, of course." I sat down and took a deep breath. "You don't have to be concerned; I'm fine now."
I put my earbuds on and played random music while driving my car.
And then the cold came, the dark days
When fear crept into my mindYou gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbyeSo this is me swallowin' my pride
Standin' in front of you sayin' I'm sorry for that nightAnd I go back to December all the timeIt turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' youWishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mineI'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mindI go back to December all the timeWhile driving, I remembered my previous dream and touched the spot on my back where the knife had stabbed me.
I haven't been able to recall the man's face with whom I'm conversing until now.
All I remember is being so enamored with him that I could trust him in that way.
When the traffic light turned red, I came to a complete stop.
My gaze is drawn to everyone who is crossing the road. When I saw Raven cross the road, my hands were about to wave, but I came to a halt when a girl turned her face almost in my direction.
"Haxilla?" I wondered aloud.
A driver yells at me, "Hey, you're blocking the way!"
When I noticed the traffic light was already green, my hands started the car right away.
Why is she in Raven's company?
Is there a chance they'll get back together?
Because my mind was clouded with questions, I almost lost focus on my driving and nearly collided with the back of another vehicle.
Fortunately, I quickly regain my composure and avoid the accident.
Something went wrong with the man's car, which is why he pulled over in the middle of the road.
Perhaps there are some issues with engene.
"Hello, do you require assistance?" As I stepped out of my car, I inquired.
When I realized who he was, my eyes widened. He's one of the three people who went to the Silvenia Company the other week.
"Oh, hey, ahm yeah, my car just stopped for no apparent reason," he said shyly, rubbing the back of his neck.
Shems, he's so adorable.
I walked up to the front of his car and examined what was most likely the issue.
"Do you know how to fix it?" he inquired, perplexed.
While attempting to repair the wires inside his car's hood, I shook my head. I believe that with some connecting and tying, it will be good once more.
When his expression changed, I laughed a little and said, "I'm just using my stock knowledge from what my uncle does when his car stopped before."
"Wait, you have no idea what you're doing?" he worriedly asked.
"Yes," I replied. When I connect two wires, the car engine starts up.
"Do you have any tape?" I added. He then dashed inside his car and handed me an electrical tape.
I taped the two wires and closed the hood.
He abruptly grabbed my arms and finished his thoughts.
"Ahm, do you mind if I inquire as to your name?" He inquired, hesitantly.
I gave him a friendly smile and extended my palm for a handshake.
"Selena," I said, and he smiled as he accepted my hand.
"Haru."
"Hmm, it's good to meet you. I'd like to talk to you more, but I have a job interview scheduled. Goodbye," I didn't wait for him to respond before heading to Silvenia's office.
I'm not really late; it's just that I'm uncomfortable around him, geez.
I shrugged my shoulders and returned my attention to the road.
"Hey, Selena," Haru said, and he was with the guy who almost hit me last day.
"H-Hey," I returned awkwardly.
Haru approached me, and the man did not look at me as he followed him.
He inquired, "What are you doing here?" As soon as the elevator doors opened, we entered.
I simply replied, "For my interview." His companion took a position to our back, and I became uneasy once more.
"Wade, what's the matter with you? You're not like that when you're around of–aww!"" When Haru's friend Wade stamped on his feet, he exclaimed.
Wade muttered under his breath, "Shut the fuck up."
He's scary, help.
"Anyway, I'm assuming you're applying for secretary?" Haru came up with the question.
"Yes, Ms. Perfiana informed me that Mr. Jaxon would be interviewing me right now," I replied. When Haru scratched his chin and Wade laughed a little behind us, I was perplexed.
"Why? Is there anything amusing in what I've said so far?" I inquired, bewildered.
"Today, Jaxon isn't up to it–"
"What?!" When I hear what Haru has just said, I scream angrily at him.
Is there a chance that my interview will be rescheduled? No way! For God's sake, I'm tired already!
"But don't worry, it won't have an impact on your interview. That will be done for him by someone like Jaxon. Wade is that individual, in a nutshell." He acted as if it weren't a big deal.
"God, he's scarier than Mr. Jaxon," I said quietly as I rested my head against the elevator wall.
"Did you say anything?" Wade asked in baritone voice.
Why? Why I am so weak with man who had baritone voice?
Shut yourself up, Selena. You just know him minutes ago!
"Nothing," I said with a slight shake of my head.
Haru said, "Cute," but none of us paid attention to him.
I didn't even move when the elevator door opened. I lost my courage all of a sudden.
"Oh well," Haru said as he walked outside, "fate knows how to play her dolls." Wade ignored us and proceeded to somewhere else.
When Haru dragged me out to the elevator, I gasped.
"Don't be afraid of him; he'll only ask you stupid questions."
I looked at him, thinking to myself, is that even possible at the world's most prestigious company?
"I don't believe so."
Haru assisted me by pushing open a door. Wade is seated and reading my information sheet, which clearly displays my name in the front.
Haru sat on the couch, using his cellphone, while I sat in the visitor's chair.
When Wade tossed the folder and rested his back, he said, "I don't think I'm going to interview you."
My heart is racing, and my eyes have widened.
"W-why? I'm not qualified?" I inquired in the hopes of persuading him to change his mind.
He swung his chair around to face me and rested his elbows on the table.
"You're actually overqualified," Wade explained. "To be honest, Jaxon didn't care too much about your background; he's more interested in workers who are committed and do their part properly."
But I still didn't get the answer that I want.
"Therefore?" I asked.
"Therefore, you really have a big chance to be the secretary as long as you didn't break too much glasses in your life," Haru suddenly spoke.
I looked down and bite my lower lips, I didn't know that breaking glasses are one of the requirements too.
"Don't tell me, you broke too much glasses back then?" Wade asked.
"I actually do..." I answered as my voice toned down slowly in nervous and shame.
"Oh, shoot, you're critical now," Wade said and laughed.
However, I haven't recieved my desired response yet.
"How come?" I inquired.
"As a result," Haru said abruptly, "You really have a good chance to be the secretary as long as you haven't broken too many glasses in your life."
I looked down and bit my lower lip, oblivious to the fact that breaking glasses is also a requirement.
"Don't tell me you used to break a lot of glasses?" Wade enquired.
"In fact, I do..." I responded, my voice gradually lowering in nervousness and shame.
Wade laughed and said, "Oh, shoot, you're critical now."
"What's the worst that could happen?" Haru inquired inquisitively.
I told them everything that happened at my previous job, and it was clear from their expressions that I was in desperate need of employment.
"I hope Jaxon never finds out about that; he despises it when his secretaries break teacups or spill coffee on his table," Haru said as he returned to his phone.
If I had known that accident would have such a significant impact on my future, I would have been more cautious at the time.
You shattered your dreams, Selena.
We talked about a few more random topics. I've noticed that Wade is the one who doesn't say much and is also quite serious, in contrast to Haru, who is constantly laughing and telling jokes.
When the interview ended, I was about to leave the office, but Haru followed me outside.
"Do you have any plans? Like hang out, going to mall or something?" he shyly asked.
"I was about to roam the company when I decided to go straight to the house, why do you ask?"
He smiled broadly at me, which perplexed me once more.
Okay... What happened just now?
"Do you want to have a cup of coffee? Don't be concerned about my treat."
"All right," I said.
"Oh nice," he exclaimed, "so I'll meet you in Harvey's cafe nearby."
I simply nodded and walked to the parking lot to ride in my car.
"So, why did you decide to work for us?" Haru inquired as he ate his steak.
"I just feel like I'm a good fit for that company," I explained honestly.
I'm not sure why working there is my dream.
"You know what, if I were Jaxon, I'd immediately accept you."
I laughed and set my coffee down, crossing my arms and looking at him.
"Why?"
"Well, you're the whole package, so there's no need to ask." He sipped his coffee and shrugged his shoulders.
"However, my clumsiness is the issue," I joked.
"About that, I'll tell Wade not to tell Jax anything about your previous work, because I got you," he said, instantly making me blush.
"You're not required to do that."
"Nah, you earned that position."
I can't help but smile at him, but when I remember my dream, the joy turns to fear.
Is he the man who appeared and killed me in my dream?
"Wait, you're saying the glasses you broke in your life are the most important requirement?" Incredulous, Haxilla inquired.In the interview, I told them everything that had happened the day before."Yes, when I was aware of it. My heart was racing so fast, "I said this as I was cutting paper for a flower origami. We're assisting Britanny with her client's debut design."That's strange. By the way, you're friends now with Haru?" Britanny inquired as she glittered the flowers."No, I'm not sure. Perhaps just a casual get-to-know-each-other?""Do you have a photo of him?"In response to Haxilla's question, I shook my head.My phone rang as we were putting the finishing touches on the flowers a
"You passed out again yesterday, Haru brought you home." I choked on what Haxilla said. I wipe my mouth after drinking. "H-How did he know our address?" I asked, confused. She pinched me on my belly. "Are you that really stupid?" she said while pinching my belly. "A-Ah, that hurts Hax!" I exclaimed. "You applied for them, so it's normal to know your information, moron!" I pouted my lips and continued eating my soup. My brows furrowed when I was trying to remember what happened yesterday. Do we stand under the sun for me to pass out? Argh, I don't know. My head still hurts.
"Where did you go the day before? What made Britanny come to you first?" While preparing breakfast, Haxilla inquired."I went to the mall to get the foods you requested," I explained while eating my bread and chatting with Haru on Instagram.He texted me last night about what happened to us in his car. It is, however, very good.Shocks, every time I recall my cheeks burning up. We've only known each other for about a month, but we did that "thing."He sends me random messages, tells me jokes and serious stuff, but never mentions his personal life. I didn't coerce him into telling me; it's still his personal space.Everytime he sents a message, I can't stop myself to smile, it always gives me a butterfly in my stomach feeling."Hey, who's that guy that made you blush?" Britanny suddenly took my phone away so I need to chase her.I'm dead i
"Can you tell me why you chose that location for your engagement party?" Haxilla asked Kaley a question that made me roll my eyes."Isn't it self-evident—""Shut up, I'm not asking you," she said, and my mouth opened slightly in surprise.What on earth did she say?!"Wow, you're talking to me like that now, huh?" I inquired, my curiosity piqued by what she had just said."Why? Is it illegal for me to speak to you in this manner?!" She fought back, and the fact that her voice rose to the surface was the cause of Kaley's panic."Hello! Try not to battle here, my God! OK, Haxilla, I picked that place since that is the thing that Aunt Lea's need. She truly pushed us to pick that spot," Kaley clarified while taking a gander at us in the back reflect.I inclined toward the vehicle's window and watching the raindr
"Haxilla, clean up your mess here!""I don't want to do it because you're the one who started it.""Wow, my coffee wouldn't have spilled if you hadn't bumped my arm!"What's going on this early in the morning?I shook my head in frustration and walked out of my room half-awake. I witnessed Haxilla and Britanny yelling at each other over a spilled cup of coffee."Oh, my goodness, Britanny! Simply wash it—"They stopped fighting when I grabbed a rag and began mopping up the spilled coffee on the floor."S-Selena, you're awake," Britanny said while watching me mopping the spilled coffee.I stood up and sighed in their presence."I can't imagine how messed up your house will be if you don't have a maid," I said, and they averted their gaze, perhaps because they were embarrassed.
When I went into the coffee shop to change my clothes, an old lady asked, "What happened to you?" "Oh, my coffee spilled all over my shirt." I crack a grin. She also smiled and touched my face, which made me squirm. "I remember my daughter to you. Anyway, take care always and don't tell a lies again." She left me speechless and puzzled after saying those words. "Perhaps her daughter is on her way out of the country." I took a few steps to the bathroom and dialed Britanny's number. [Hello, how are you? Did you hear about the bus that exploded, by the way?] "Yes. Bring me my beige long-sleeved polo from my white closet, Britanny." [Why? What went wrong?] I sighed and rolled my eyes as I wiped the coffee from my breast. "Just do what I said; I'll be late
"Are those files so heavy that you took nearly five minutes?" When I walked into Jax's office, he exclaimed."I'm sorry, sir, but I'm not familiar with this company—""Liar. Haru has already roamed you here, so it's unlikely that you're unfamiliar with the area."When he said that, my lips parted.What if I'm not particularly good at remembering things?He took the files from my hands and replaced them with a pile of papers."The information in those folders pertains to new cellphone models. Check that they have entered the correct codes."I'm unable to move because I'm unsure of the location of my personal office."What's the matter with you? Go tobyour office now.""I have no idea where my office is," I said, causing his hands to slap his brow."Oh my gosh, your
"Good morning to everyone. I'll get right to the point: the Morelli Company is releasing a new model this month. So, in order to attract more customers, we need to first launch our model, " After they fixed the presentation, Mr. Jaxon immediately started the meeting."This model's target sales are fifty percent higher than the previous model's. The advertisements and commercials for our upcoming model have already been leaked by the advertising team. So, do you have any questions before I continue?"Wade simply tapped me after I raised my hands, Mr. Jaxon saw me which cause his eyes to widened a little."Oh, first and foremost, Ms. Selena Formosus, my new secretary," he said as he introduced me to the board, and I rose and bowed. They clapped and nodded in agreement."So, Ms. Formosus, what's the matter?""I don't think we'll gain more customers if we launch the model before the
