His obsession

Chapter 3

"Of course not sir"

"Good now do as I say" I immediately walk out of the office to my car.

••••

"Mercy where the hell are you?" I roll my eyes and heave a sigh. In as much as I was anxious I was also tired and needed to rest and as it stands now, Mercy is depriving me of that rest as she isn't coming now.

I heard someone shouting, I looked back and I saw some hot guy in a blue suit, his jacket in his hand, yelling at some guy in a black suit who faces down and don't dare look up.

"You know what? Y'all are worsening my state right now, get out of this place and never come back. You are fired.
And if you want to be able to work anywhere in this country you better don't beg me" He immediately walks away and into a black Bentley.

Did he just fire someone just like that? Who could he be?

"Hey bitch, come on in" Finally Mercy is here.

"How was the interview Char?" Mercy asks

"Well as far as I know, I tried my best and I hope for the best" I say as I loose the bun and let my light brown long hair down. I take off my lashes, throw my heels across the room and remove the jacket.

I was so scared and anxious, I couldn't just wait for the result.
I sit in front of the mirror and heave a sigh. "I hope it goes well" I whisper to myself.

Mercy puts a hand on my shoulder from behind. "It's okay Char, if the job is for you, you'll get it." She smiles reassuringly.

"I just wanna help you out you know, I don't want you being the only one doing everything. You letting me stay here is enough, you doing way too much, and I just wanna help" I felt the tears well up in my eyes.

"Oh hell no Charlotte, I do not want you talking like that, you are gonna piss me off. You don't owe me anything, you are my best friend and I know that if I was in your shoes, you would do same right?" I nod my head as the tears come rolling down.

"That's it baby, we are best friends and we'll always be there for each other okay?"

"Okay" I whisper and give her a small smile.

"And if you are destined to get this job, then you will okay?" I nod

"That's my baby girl, now cheer up"

I clean the tears on my face and smile. My phone rings in my bag.
I go over to pick it up.

It's Louis, the secretary.

"Oh my God, Mercy it's the secretary, it's the secretary!" I say jumping up and down.

"I can't pick I'm so scared!" I say again.

"Oh Char don't be a butthead and pick the damn call"

"Okay okay" I pick the call and whisper a "hello"

"Hello I'm speaking with Miss Charlotte Britts right?"

"Yes yes"

"Uhm okay congratulations you got the job!"

"Oh my Goddddd yessss yessss !!"

"Uhm Miss Britts?"

"Shut the fuck up Char, she's not done" Mercy said laughing.

"Oh sorry"
"Uhm you are supposed to start by Monday but the boss, Mr Baker said otherwise,you will have to start tomorrow, you got a problem with that?"

Mercy shook her head so hard

"Not at all"

"Okay then, you have to report to work tomorrow by 7:30am, I sent you an email now, mean while when you get to work tomorrow, report to my office first so I could take you myself to see the boss okay?"

"Of course sure sure thank you so much"

"You're welcome Miss Britts"

"See you tomorrow!"

As soon as I dropped the call, and as if Mercy knew what I was about to do, we jumped on each other shouting on top of our voices.

Immediately Mercy withdraw from the hug with furrowed eyebrows .

"What?"

"We need to go shopping now!" And before I could object she already drew me outta the house.

Get a friend like mine who will be more happy for your fortune than you are!
