Stolen moments

Chapter 6(B)

I sat rigidly on the comfortable chair, am so nervous right now, i just want everything to work out. The interview was scheduled 9:30 but i left home an hour before.

Rosalia arranged my clothes this morning, i was dressed in a white notch collar shirt, a black pencil skirt that reached my knees and a black scarpin shoe which belonged to Rosalia, thank goodness i didn't take the platforms she first brought. This shoe is killing me already, all in the name of looking cooperate!.

My hair was in a stylish messy bun, with some baby hairs falling out. I had my glasses on as i stare at the name of the company which was largely placed behind the wall of the receptionist desk.

'Knight's Corp'... That name is awfully familiar, am nervous and in denial. What if...? No no girl snap out of it!. It has been four years, we can never meet again, what kind of fate is that? There is probably some coincidence.

.. Yea, a coincidence, his father owns a construction company same one you sitting right in...

Her conscience told her but she pushed the voice to the back of her mind. It can't be, and even if it is, maybe she is in one of their branches spread across the city not to talk of the country or the world. Yes, she was in one of their branches. She assured herself but the expensive layout of the company made her think otherwise.

They company is situated inside one of the tallest skyscrapers in NY. She discovered that the company occupied four floors with the CEO and other executives using the last floor.

"Miss?" I look up to the receptionist who gave me a warm smile in which i did the same. "The project manager will meet you now, just take the elevator, he should be at the 34th floor waiting for you"

"Thank you" I say grabbing my bag "wish me luck" the kind brunette receptionist gave me a thumbs up.

I quickly got into the empty elevator pressing the button to the floor. Once i got to the lobby of the said floor which was quite busy with people sitting in cubicles and others running around with files and papers in their hands. I look around trying to see if someone could help me out in the middle of the chaos when i spot a man walking towards me.

He was an average height, he was dressed much rather in a casual wear in contrast to the people around him. He got his sleeves rolled up, his blue shirt tuck into his jeans, his ring finger gave away his married status as my eyes caught the wedding band.

"Leah Martinez right?" I nodded rapidly afraid i might blurt out rubbish, as if sensing my nervousness, he gave me a warm smile. Is everybody in this company this kind? "Am Mr Fox but you can call me Michael or Mike, nice to meet you" he brought out his hand for an handshake as i returned the gesture.

"Same here sir.. " I said.

"Come with me" he turns around walking as i followed suit. We passed through many cubicles before we got to a glass door, he opens the door for me to enter i step into the room as he does the same, closing the door. I gulp.

I hate it whenever someone especially a male locked the door with me and him in the room ever since the incident, it makes me feel caged. I assured my self that this is a business entity, he won't try anything foolish, besides the door is made of transparent glass as people will be able to see what was going inside.

The room looks like it is used for meetings, with a big round table and several chairs around it.

"Take a seat" he motioned towards a chair, as he does the same, i made sure that a chair was between us as i settle down. "Am sorry for keeping you waiting, we have an ongoing meeting with the CEO, he should be here because he is very particular about this project but he is unavoidably absent so i was sent to fill in since you will be working directly under me" he said looking and sounding professional.
