?Episode 18?
Penny’s POV:
I opened the Window and stared out at the garden in front me.
Interview.
I can’t believe this. I smiled and wrapped my hands around myself.
Maybe I should go get some fresh air at the garden, I never noticed that before.
I glanced at the sleeping chris face and smile.
If I get this job baby, we can move out and find out own apartment.
We can continue with our lives.
I pray I get it. This is a life time opportunity and I can’t afford to miss it no matter what.
I kssed his forehead and covered him well with the duvet before walking out of the room.
It is already 11pm at night so everywhere is calm, the maids must have retired to their quarter.
I just knew today that the maids went on a leave and are back.
I was surprised, he has more than ten maids working for him.
Each wearing their blue and white uniform.
They were quite sweet to me, but I guess most of them were looking at me with disdain.
Why?
I don’t give two sht.
I opened the front door and walk out of the house towards the corner where I saw the garden.
“Miss James.” A guard called.
Oh shit, I forgot that the house is highly secured.
“Sorry for the interruption, just act like I’m not here.” I said to him with a smile.
I stare at the garden, it was really beautiful with green carpet everywhere. A tall strawberry tree was at the center and two swings.
I smile heartedly and rushed to where the swing was situated.
I sat down on it and grab hold of the robe then started swinging.
I laughed loudly at the silly play, it was really great to smile so truly after a very long time of fake smiles.
The breeze was so cool, it soothed my heart like I want it to.
“Having a great night I guess.” I heard a voice say and I stopped laughing.
“Mr King….i…..i’m sorry I just wanted to have some fresh air.” I stuttered nervously.
“Nothing to be sorry for, just call me Bryce miss James.” He said and sat down on the other swing.
“This is my relaxation center.” He said and i smiled.
“Then call me Penny.” I smiled at him.
“When should I get ready for the interview tomorrow?” I asked after awhile of silence.
“7:45am, I’ll be picking the top three best candidates.” He said.
“Thank you for your kindness Mr King…..I mean Bryce, I dont know how to repay you.” I said and stared at him. He was staring at me silently.
“When the time comes, time shall tell Penny.” He said and smiled a little.
“It is getting cold out here, let’s go inside.” He said and stood up then brought out his hand for me to grab.
I grabbed hold of it and muttered a ‘thank you’
“You got some successful in such a young age,to what do you own your success?” I asked him. He stopped for a moment and sigh.
“Hard work miss James, hard work.” He said and I frowned my face.
“Does it mean that the poor ones dont work hard?” I asked curiously. I know that I’m getting too nosy but this is the first time we have talked for long.
I want to grab the opportunity and get to know him more.
“You sure are a talkative person Miss James.” He said and I laughed nervously.
My mouth goes dry, my heart beating erratically.
The feeling that I felt in my stomach, I can’t place my hand on it.
What is wrong with me?
Am I…..Am I…..
“You can say that again sir.” I said and he froze.
Did I said something wrong? His eyes darkened and his stare fixed on me like a hunter watching it’s prey…
“Are you alright sir?” I asked him. He suddenly broke his gaze from me and exhaled loudly.
“Good night Penny.” He said and walk away.
Did I do something wrong?
It was just a question right?
I definitely didn’t say anything wrong. If anything I’m being respectful to him.
I shrugged and slowly climb upstairs.
*******
After bathing Chris and dressing him up, I quickly dash inside the bathroom and took turn on the shower.
“Go downstairs baby, I’ll join soon.” I shouted for Chris to hear.
I squeezed my liquid soap inside my sponge and started washing my body.
“You sure are a talkative person Miss James.”
That word, the way he said it.
The tingling that I felt when he said so.
I don’t understand what I felt last night, yes I really find him attractive but I still have Alexander in my life.
Moreover, he is married!
Penelope don’t let your stupid stomach deceive you.
I don’t have any crush or feelings whatsoever for him.
After taking my bath, I tied my towel around my body and walked out of the bathroom.
I sat down infront if the vanity mirror and blow dry my hair after which I tied it in a ponytail, I did my makeup and body spray.
I got inside the closet and picked my lemon colored suit and matched skirt with a black red bottom heels stiletto.
I grabbed my purse from the bed and my phone, after making sure that all I needed for the interview are ready.
I walk out of the room.
Saying a little prayer, I must get this job.
No matter what I have to do.
