It’s been a month since I left his house and I can’t stop thinking about him and the kiss, the more I think about it the more I feel butterflies in my stomach and I want more of it but what can I do he is engaged to be married to Nora, I thought it was rumored when I first heard it from my neighbor, not until when I heard the news on Tv stations and social media, I can’t lie, they look good together and I think I need to stay in my boundaries. I started searching for online real jobs where I could get real money, I had all my certificates with me, am a second-class graduate of business management and I needed to find office work, I started searching all around including the newspaper and I have submitted my CV in different companies waiting for their reply and I hope a miracle happens soon.
“Aurora”. My grandmother called.” Lunch is served”. She said.
” Coming Granny”. I rushed down from my room to see the table was already set for lunch.”Granny, I have told you before to always allow me to do the cooking in this house”.
“I know, but I want to stress my muscles a little, you know since Erica left you have been the one doing all the work, so I decided to prepare lunch today”. She said.
I smiled.” Granny, you will never seem to amaze me”.
“I know right, so let’s eat”. she said and we started eating, just then my phone rang and I saw it was a strange number.
” Hello”.I said as I picked up the call, I paused as the person from the other side talked.”Yes, this is Aurora Smith, how can I help you?” I asked and I stood up quickly lightening up my face.” Really? I have an interview with your company tomorrow.” I said excitedly. “OK sir, I will be there first thing tomorrow morning, have a nice day sir”. I hung up and started swinging my body in excitement.
” You got a job?”.
“I guess so Grandma, one of the companies I submitted my CV to, said I should come for an interview tomorrow, which means I am going to have a job soon”. I said happily.
” Wow! Congratulations dear, what company is that?”.
“He said Alex Technology Corp, they are into production of computers, mobile devices, and home appliances, am so happy, this is an opportunity for me “.
” I wish you well tomorrow, all the best”.
“Thank you, Granny”. I said and we resumed our meal. I was still tapping my legs on the floor excitedly because I couldn’t wait for tomorrow to come.

WHEN THE BEAST MEETS THE BEAUTY : CHAPTER 31 – 40
The next morning, I was up early as I did the chores in the house and prepared my grandmother’s favorite breakfast, after that, I rushed to get dressed for the interview, I wanted to look my best, so I wore a black plaid Ankle pantsuit with a red heel that matches with my red Satchel bag, and I made my hair sleek ponytail, I stare at myself in the mirror and I was reading to go, I had no makeup on my face, I prefer being natural and heavens have blessed with natural beauty. I came out of my room and I saw my grandmother coming out from her room.
” Good Morning Granny”. I greeted them cheerfully and she smiled at me.
“Good Morning dear, I can see you are ready to go”.
” Yes granny, I don’t want to be late, so, I have already prepared your breakfast, all you need to do is to eat, take your drugs, and then rest “.
” Sure dear, I wish you success “.
” Thank you”. I kissed her cheek and walked away saying goodbye to each other.
Immediately I stepped out of my apartment, and I could see the pleasant look everyone was giving me, I stopped a taxi and told the driver where I was going and he zoomed off. In less than an hour we arrived at the building, I kept hasting the driver to speed up because I was getting late, so lucky there was no traffic on the way and I arrived there early, I paid off the taxi driver and came down. I gasped for air to see how amazing the skyscrapers were made with glasses, I adjusted my suit and walked inside, I greeted the two security by the entrance and they gave me a bow in response, I walked inside to see how beautiful everywhere, I walk up to the reception area to meet a beautiful lady on a plain blue suit.
“Good Morning miss”. I greeted her politely and she smiled at me.
” Good Morning, how may I help you?”. She asked politely.
“Am here for an interview”. I replied.
” Ok, that way, take the elevator to the fifth floor and you will come across the interview section”.
“Ok, thank you”.
” Sure, break a leg”. she said and I smiled at her and walked away.
I got to the elevator and pressed the fifth floor, and not too long after I arrived at the place to see three other ladies seated on the chair, with the way they were dressed I knew there are here for what I came for, I greeted them and sat down next to them, but they ignore my greetings but I didn’t bother. not too long after, the First Lady was called into the room, it took almost an hour before she came out and sat back in her seat smiling, I stared at her and I knew the interview was favored to her because she came out smiling, the second lady was called and it went on until it got to my turn, I stood up and went inside the room, it took almost an hour and I answered all their questions and they were happy with the way I respond and with the way they smile at me, I knew I might get the chance of getting the job, after the interview they ask me to wait outside, I obeyed and I came to sit down only to see a bag occupying my seat.
“Can you please take your bag, I would like to sit down”. I said talking to the next lady, but she ignored me.” Excuse me! am talking to you”. I said but she stared sassy at me and took her bag reluctantly.”Thank you”I said coldly and sat down.
We waited for an hour until the two guys who interviewed us came out and we stood up quickly.
👨💼”Well, the interview has come to an end, as we said before, we need only two of you, we need a personal secretary for the CEO of this great accomplishment and also a distributor”.
👨🦱”Yes, only the two of you made a great impression on the interview but your fate will be decided by the boss, but you all did well”.
“Thank you!”. We replied cheerfully.
👨💼” Good, the two persons who impress us are; Judith Adams”.
“Yes!”. She screamed excitedly and I noticed it was the lady that placed her bag on my seat.
👨💼” And the next person is Aurora Smith”.
“Oh my!”. I smiled.” thank you, sir”. I said and turned to the other girls, but the girl beside me gave me a sassy look, the other two were disappointed.
👨🦱”Alright, you two be here tomorrow so your position can be given to you”.
“Thank you, sir,” We said and the two girls left sadly.
” I hope you got picked as a distributor because you are not fit to become the CEO’s personal Secretary, I will be the one, so, toodles”. She said sassily and coldly as she walked away majestically. I stare after her and I admire her courage, I don’t mind being picked as a distributor, all I want is a job that can pay me monthly.
I left the building and waited along the busy road waiting for a taxi.

NARRATOR POV
Not too long after, Alexander drove into the building, his driver opened the door for him, he came down and was about to head inside when he made a stop as he felt someone’s presence and a familiar fragrance.
“Aurora”. He said and searched around the place to see if he could find her.
Meanwhile, Aurora has already stopped a taxi, and they zoom off. Alexander stared around for a while and went inside with his staff, the two security bowed to him before he walked inside.
Aurora arrived home and fell on the chair tiredly.
” How did it go?”Her grandmother interrupted her.
“Great granny, only two of us were nominated, but our fate is in the boss’s hands”.
” How do you mean?”.
“One of us will be chosen as a secretary to the boss or as a distributor, it depends on the boss’s choice”. She said.
” Which one of these two did you wish to have?”.
“The two vacancies are both good, anyone I have been appointed to, it’s fine by me, at least I got the job”. She said.
” And I pray you get the highest one”.
“Thank you, granny”.
” Go in and freshen up, I prepared something delicious”.
“Really granny? But I told you not to stress yourself”.
” I am not complaining, I love working”.
“Well, I guess I got this attitude of working nonstop from you”.
” Yes, just like your mother”. She said and Aurora’s mood changed.”What dear? Why this sudden mood”.
“Because I don’t like it when you mention her in our discussion”. She said looking angry.
” But she is my daughter and your mother too”.
“She is not my mother Granny, you are the only family I have”.
” Aurora”.
“Granny please, I don’t want to talk about her, she is not my mother and she will never be, since she left us to be with her rich husband, we have been living fine and I am okay with that”. She said and stood up to leave.” Let me go in and freshen up”. She walks away and her grandmother stares after her and sighs sadly.
“Why did you abandon your child to suffer like this Aria? She needs you more than ever, please come back to us soon”. She sadly and left for the kitchen to dish out the food.
