"So how did the job hunting go?" Annabel asks once I'm in the apartment

"It was a flop" I say the same thing as I've been saying for the past two days

I've decided to go job hunting, not because I don't have money, but because I have more free time after my morning classes which consists of the two majors I'm taking, journalism and publishing, so I just want something to busy myslef. To get me away from all the Uni drama at least for a few hours.

"Why are you so hell bent on getting a job?" She asks as she takes a seat on the sofa beside me

"I've told you this times without number Anna, and now repeating myself and you asking the same question is becoming annoying"

"Ok fine, but if after one more week you still can't find a job you quit searching. Are we on a deal?"

"Yes"

"Now go and take a shower and let's have dinner"

"What did you make?"

"Casserole Lasagna"

"Sounds palatable" I smile as I go and take my shower

                           🌾🌾🌾

"Hey Zion" I greet as I flop on my seat next to him in Publishing class

"Hey beautiful, about the job you said you were looking for, I have a friend as a manager in some restaurant, how about we go check after class?"

"You're a life saver"

"But it's quite far from here. Thirty minutes drive?"

"Just thirty minutes? I'm cool"

"Well that's good to hear. So do we have a plan?"

"Of course" I say, ectastically

                          🌾🌾🌾

"We're here" Zion says as he parks infront of a very fancy restaurant

"Thank you" I say as he opens the door for me

I take a seat in one of the booths when I feel a someone's stare burning right through the side if my head, but I ignore it.

"I'm sorry Pretty one, but the place is full, no more vancies" Zion says when he returns

Once again no avail. I shouldn't have let up my hopes so high, maybe I wouldn't have been this disappointed.

"It's alright. I can try somewhere else next time" I say to him

"How about we order something, it's not anyways" he says and I laugh

"Sure"

 

Jace Stark POV

"Sir, your meeting with Mr. Carter is in a few minutes at the Blue Wrens Restaurant." My PA, Mrs Anderson says
It's a shame she's going to leave me in a few days. She says she can do the mornings, but I have to get someone to occupy her place in the afternoon, the work here is too much

"Okay, get to him and tell him I'll meet him in fifteen minutes" I say and pack my things and all the files I need and pass it to her

I get into my car and soon after we're at the resturant.

"Mr. Carter" I greet and shake hands with him

"Glad you came" he says

"Thanks for the contribution you made during the event last Saturday"

"It was a pleasure"

"Now what investment do you want to make?" I ask, going straight to the point

"Won't you even let us talk about something else before business?"

"Mr. Carter I came for business and business it is, I am a busy man and I don't play hide and seek"

"If you say so, I wanted to invest in one of your companies, Stark motors, the one you bought from the Pauls"

"Why do you want to invest in such a falling company?"

"Aren't you suppose to be happy that I want to invest in something you own, besides you mean a company which you're going to be sending to the top?"

"Well, since that's settled, I'll be hosting an event to complete the whole process, so since you're an investor, we'll finish the whole process there"

"Thanks for your corporation. We'll meet again" he says as he stands to leave and I do same, but a familiar figure catches my eye, and I recognize the person immediately; Detia.

"Mr. Stark?"

"Same here, see you soon Mr. Carter, my PA here will send you the details" I say, gesturing to Mrs. Anderson

I avert my gaze once he's gone and see her sitting at one of the booths, soon a man joins her and he says something which makes her sad, and them the next moment she's laughing, what must he have said that she's laughing so much.

Are we jealous now?

My subconscious taunts. Call it whatever.

"You can leave now" I say to Mrs Anderson

I'm going there, this is over.

Theodetia's POV
"Detia! What a pleasant surprise my love" Jace says behind me.
When did he get here?

"Jace, what are you doing here?" I get up to hug him and he places a chaste kiss on my lips, infront of Zion and I sense it immediately. Jealousy and upcoming drama.

"I came for a meeting, finished a few minutes ago" he says

"Oh, I'm sorry Pretty one, but I have to go, I have class, see you later"

"Same" and with that he's gone

"Pretty one?"

"Forget about that"

"So why are you here?" He asks

"Wanted a job. So Zion brought me here, but no vacancy" I say sadly

"Well I have a free spot"

"Really? Where?"

"Yeah, in my company, is even close by"

"Okay, so what the position?" I ask

"My PA"
