CELINE'S POV

Rrrringggggggggg

The sound of my alarm literally blasted near my ear. I slowly peek out from my blanket, very little light escaped through the blinds.

Why so early??
Then the events of last evening came rushing in my mind. The pamphlet, the call,that mean receptionist, the interview..

Ohhh the interview!!!

I shot up so fast that I literally was dangling on the edge of my bed tangled in the sheets. I quickly shut the alarm. I am sure the whole neighborhood could listen to its ring,
It was fifteen minutes to 7.

I am so going to be late..

I hurried to the bathroom, did my business. I probably had the quickest shower of my life,thank god I laid out my dress last night. I quickly put on my black ankle length skinny jeans,though they were old it showed off my curves perfectly. I then pulled my white blouse, straightened it with my hands. Next up hair..I have almost jet black hair that reach until my waist, I just brushed leaving them straight as they are.
I took my purse, resume, phone and made my way to the kitchen. I remembered dad isn't here so I just settled for an apple and cup of coffee.
I also kept a bar of chocolate.

Just in case...

Seeing that I had sufficient time left, I ran to the door put on my black heels and rushed out to take a taxi..

............

I paid my taxi driver and got out of it.
My eyes went so wide that they could pop out any second.
The building was absolutely stunning, and me? Never new the damn building even existed. I mean what it is huge, maybe larger than the mall.

I made my way to the lobby and obviously the interiors was also amazing. There's a fountain in the middle of the lobby.
I neared the lady sitting behind the desk.

" umm hello I am here for the interview " I said.
She looked up eyeing me up and down " what's your name? "

" Celine Carter " I said.

" the interview 's at the tenth floor. take the elevator to your left" she pointed.

" Thank you " I said though she ignored me.

As I reached the elevator there was a huge crowd waiting for the lift. I stood behind them all. I could feel eyes on me. I turned to look that there were 5 girls standing staring at me and giggling. They were all dressed in tight mini skirts and their blouses were like a second skin hugged their body in every possible way.

I let out a huff and turned to see that all the people were rushing to get inside. I started making my way but was suddenly pushed out of the way and people brushed past me. I looked up and caught one of the girls from earlier winking at me.
I glared at her until the elevator doors closed.

An idea struck me, why not take the stairs. I mean only 10 floors but at least I may reach in time. With that thought I made my way to the fire exit and started climbing the stairs.

Bad choice Celine and now you are sweating like a buffalo. Way to go...

After few minutes which felt like hours I reached the end of the stairs.
I came out and put my hands on my knees to catch a breath.

You are a sweating mess.

I finally straightened myself and started walking through the hallway.
I then realized that it was too Silent, the only sound was made by my heels.

Isn't there supposed to be an interview??

I looked around and found a door at the end of the hallway. I slowly made my way to it. As I did all creepy thoughts ran in my brains. I kept glancing back to make sure nobody was there.

You really should stop watching horror movies.

" What are you doing here? " a voice came from behind.

" Ahhhhhhh " I screamed out and whipped my head to direction of the voice..

" Why the hell did you shout? My ears are bleeding. " another voice said.

I saw two men both in clean cut suits, they were practically hovering over me. I stumbled back putting a hand on my chest.

" What are you doing here?? This is a private floor, you are not supposed to be here." the blonde man said.

" I... Umm..I am s...sorry I didn't m..mean to come H.here.." I stuttered.

" You shouldn't have " he dismissed me and said to the other guy " let's take her to sir,she broke the rules, if he comes to know them he'll have our heads".

Who sir??

My eyes shot up to him. I opened my mouth but he shut me saying " whatever you need to tell, tell it to sir"..

They took either side of me a stared pulling me with them.

" Heyyy wait where are you taking me. I seriously didn't know about it. I didn't mean to come here.let me goo." I kept thrashing and shouting but both ignored me.

We reached to a door the blonde knocked once.

" yes " a husky voice called.

The blonde pushed the door " We found her roaming on the floor and brought her to you sir". He said.

The back of the man was facing us. He was in a tight white dress shirt,it outlined all his muscles.
The air was knocked out of me when he turned around while fixing his cuffs.
His emerald green eyes met my dark ones. I couldn't stop staring at him as he made his way towards me until he was only few steps away from me.

I was so busy gawking at this hot, handsome creature in front of me that I completely tuned out their conversation. His eyes were still on me though he was talking and I observed his every movement. Those lips..

I could only imagine what it would be having that lips on mine..ugh it's soo hot in here...

I was brought back to the reality when the grip on my arms loosened and was pushed in his direction.

I stumbled on my steps as I tried to regain my balance and this man in front of me wasn't helping the situation at all.

Suddenly my heels twisted, I lost my balance and fell in front.

Get ready to embarrass yourself Celine.

I closed my eyes ready for the impact but nothing happened.
I slowly pealed my eyes open just to come face to face with him.
I gasped and looked down and saw one of my hand was tightly gripped on his tie and the other on his shoulder.
I realised the grip on his tie, and looked up to meet his gaze. Nothing..
He was just starting at me with a amused look??

No! More like Irritated look..

I fell down with a thud as he abruptly moved a step back.

" ouch" I whimpered.

Now I have a sprain.. Can this day go any better??

" Hey didn't your mother teach you manners? You idiot! " I said as I massaged my ankle.

He kneeled in front of me with a very I mean very angry look..
" What. did. you. say?" He growled.

Ohh shit. He's pissed..
