Carmen's POV :)
Shit !
Fuck you Charles!
This guy assured me he would be at the interview but he wasn't there. The company was really large and when I arrived I was stunned though i had seen pictures of it. It was a 30 story building with large glass windows. I wondered how beautiful the view would be from the very top.
I walked into the office with confidence and walked past my fellow applicants with my head held high and a smirk on my face. I wore a red suit and it fit my body damn right ! ....I felt like the boss of this insanely large company but everything went crashing down when I stepped in and Charles was nowhere to be seen and I even had to place my phone aside. So I had to take quick reigns of the situation and act like a brat...couldn't show that I was dying inside. Damn I answered those questions like a helpless fool and the way the man and elderly women stared at me made my heart race...made me feel like an idiot whereas the other lady was just amused. There was a guy by the window who clearly was not interested in the so-called interview but from his back view and how he secluded himself from the rest, you could tell that he had more power than them.
" is that Michael...was it Charles plan all along....Charles must be a fool to think a man would like a woman who acts like a dumb ass
I answered the questions as uninterested as possible so if he was hearing he'd think I was acting like a bratty spoilt child who was forced to the interview.
When it was over I exited and Geez when I got out I breathed a huge sigh of relief...as the tension coupled with being in an unfamiliar place with strangers had clogged my airway. . I hurriedly left and got into my car, still shaken I touched up on my makeup and from the corner of my eye I saw him...this guy must be a fool for love. I pretended not to see him stand and stare and continued touching up my makeup until he came by.
He spoke and kept staring me straight in the eyes and it was really uncomfortable...like he wanted to know my deepest secrets.
I drove off when he was done, straight to the hotel and called Charles but he didn't reply.
" the fool must be in work by now...I'm bored to death...Becca,she'll be on break now..." I thought.
I decide to dial my sister and it It took a while for the call to reach her, that's how it has always been. The call is answered by a receptionist who later on alerts the student called for. She was attending a pricey school though, Cayden paid the fees and it was far from here.
"Hello Becca"
"Sister ...I've missed you"
"I've missed you too mi amor... how's school"
"School is fine sis...will you and brother come visit ?"
"I'll visit you soon Becca...you need to take care of yourself okay"
"Yeah I will"
"Have you been reading?"
"Yes !"
"Any problems at school"
"No...I'm doing all great sis"
"Okay bye"
"Bye"
I cut off the line. I had to at least see my sister before the plan rides with full force and I wouldn't be chanced to do so. Visiting days were the first Saturday of every month so, it was a week from now.
I dialed Caydens number at it was still unreachable as usual, I hope he's okay. Staying at this hotel was so boring like I'm tired of it. I wanna drive home for a while.and I miss the game, I once got a text from Xavier about it but I deleted it. When I get famous, racing would be my secret pleasure but now it had the potential of ruining a career I haven't established. I decided to leave the room after peering from the window and viewing the pool. I dress in one of the bikinis Charles had gotten me and went out to the pool area.
Jeez !. There were hot guys dipping into the pool and coming out too. I moved to the sun benches and laid on one I was wearing a skimpy bikini with a scarf was around my waist...Hmm the head turns though. A guy wearing shorts approached me...he had a Phoenix tattoo on his chest...sexy...my dream guy...a hot baddie and he was cute too...
"Hi..." he said stretching forth his hand and I shook it.
"Hey " I blushed...he was my spec and more.
"I'm Jordan and you are"
"I'm Carmen...Uhm Camila"
"Oh you're stuttering I must be attractive then ?" He smiled.
"Oh yeah you are" I replied.
"So are you gonna...
"Carmen !!!"
I turned to see Charles at the far edge with anger drawn on his face.
How did he know I was here ??
"You know him ?" Jordan asked.
"Yeah"
"Okay maybe we'll hang out later" he said and winked then left.
"Bye"
Charles was glaring daggers at me.
"Why are you screaming?"
"I'm not crazy you know so don't you dare give me a reason to act coco" he retorted.
"What was I dong that was so bad ?"
"Why were you calling me ?" He said changing the topic.
"You weren't in work today why "
"Like I've told you earlier on I owe you no explanation for my actions...just do what I say and that's it"
"You made me act like a fool...under the watch of those people "
"But you met Michael today didn't you"
"I did but who would love a dumb woman though ?"
"True though...let's see how it pans out"
Charles looked worried for a moment then noticed I was staring at him and masked his expression again and began walking away but turned and said
"Don't go to the pool again" then stalked off.
I gave off a fuck you sign behind his back.
What was I gonna do for fun now ?.
Guess I'm stuck with only my phone now, thankfully there was good WiFi in the hotel so I binge watched Alchemy of souls on Netflix.
