Chapter 15

Mia POV
 
"I can't just stay here all alone doing nothing," I exclaimed, looking through the mansion window.
 
I gave a lot of thought to what I could possibly do to get myself a job and not just sit at him doing absolutely nothing. 
 
I couldn't be asking whom I just don't like for money or for personal items.
 
With a lot of thought, I walked up straight and got dressed, calling up one of the maids to attend to my child since I would be gone for the mean time in search of a job.
 
"Morning, Mia," I drew myself back to notice Ethan well dressed in a suit.
 
"Morning," I cracked up my reply.
 
"Where are you off to?" He stood up, leaving his breakfast.
 
"Why are you asking?" I questioned.
 
"So, I would just tell one of the drivers to drop you off," he said politely.
 
"What your plan?" 
 
"What do you mean?" 
 
"Why are you so being good to me?" He interrupted.
 
"I am meant to be nice to you; you are my wife," I chuckled out loud.
 
"Don't take what happened earlier as an opportunity to call me that. You scum "I sucked my teeth.
 
"B... But" I glanced at him from you to down.
 
"Hey, you," I pointed to one of his personal guards.
 
"Ma'am," he came closer.
 
"Leave here," I instructed.
 
" B.." 
 
" Now,"
 
"Okay, ma'am," he smiled as he walked out.
 
 
"Mia, why are you acting like this?" He asked.
 
"Acting what way, Ethan?" I paused. "No, how do you expect me to behave?"
 
"I want you to act more polite like how you usually do when you were much younger." This made me laugh.
 
"I need a job," I asked rudely.
 
" What!" He screeched.
 
"What is what?" I asked.
 
"You should stay at him with Alexander and not go to work, Mia," he said.
 
"If I'm at home, would you give me every single thing I want?" 
 
"Once I could make you happy, and yes," he smirked.
 
"Your words aren't sure how you aren't sure if yourself," gave another hiss.
 
"But Mia," 
 
"I need the job," I still commanded harshly.
 
"But, I would have to ask the MD if there are any vacancies," I interrupted as he picked up his phone.
 
"You can't just fix me somewhere instead of calling up your MD," I asked.
 
 
*******
 
 
 
Ethan nodded, his expression serious about Stern.
 
"Okay, I'll call my MD and see if there are any openings available for you to fit in." 
 
"But you have to promise me one thing." He pleaded.
 
"What's that?" I asked, my eyes narrowing, just know the nonsense he would spit out.
 
"You have to promise me you'll be on your best behavior and not embarrass me in front of my colleagues and others there," he said, his eyes gleaming with amusement.
 
I rolled my eyes. "I'm not going to embarrass you, Ethan. I'm a grown woman, not a child."
 
"Wait, let me get what you are saying, right?" I gave a serious look.
 
"Are you trying to say I embrace you?" I chuckled.
 
"No, not all," he said.
 
"If you say so, then call the MD."
 
"Okay, okay. I'll call the MD now." He chuckled.
 
He pulled out his phone and dialed a number, speaking in a low tone. I could tell he was trying to impress me with his importance and his shifty voice, which sounded like a spoilt radio in my ears.
 
After a few minutes, he hung up and turned to me. "Okay, it's all set. The MD wants to see us in his office at 2 pm."
 
I nodded, my heart racing with excitement but not revealing it out. "Okay, let's go."
 
Soon we arrived at the office building with no words to each other despite all his efforts.
 
As I stepped down, a sleek and modern skyscraper was there, which was in the heart of the city. Ethan led me to the elevator, his hand on the small of my back.
 
I felt a shiver run down my spine at his touch, but I pushed it aside. I was here for a job, not to rekindle anything with Ethan.
 
"I'm here for a job and not romance." I got my hands out of his.
 
The elevator doors opened, and we stepped out into a luxurious reception area. A sleek-haired receptionist looked up from her desk and smiled, revealing her white tooth.
 
"Mr. Ethan, welcome. The MD is waiting for you." She smiled to her words.
 
Ethan nodded, leading me to a large office with a stunning view of the city.
 
The MD, a middle-aged man with a kind face, stood up from behind his desk to welcome myself and Ethan.
 
"Mia, welcome. I'm glad you could make it." He smiled, giving me a handshake, which I accepted.
 
I smiled, trying to hide my nervousness. "Thank you, sir. I'm glad to be here." I replied.
 
The MD smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. 
 
"Let's get down to business, shall we?"
 
"Wait a sec," I looked at Ethan, who stood at a corner. "Let's meet outside," I commanded as he smiled, walking away from the office.
 
"What again, Mia?" He asked.
 
"Do I need an interview to get the job?" I asked.
 
" Yes," 
 
"Aren't you the CEO of this company, and you can just give anyone the job without an interview?" I exclaimed.
 
"It doesn't work that way, and beside I'm not yet the CEO," I interrupted.
 
"Whose then the CEO?" I asked.
 
"My dad," he said.
 
"Hmmm," I reacted.
 
"So, did you undergo this process?" I questioned with a nicer tune.
 
"Yes, it's like a tradition." 
 
" Why?" 
 
"I don't know." 
 
With a nervous spirit and a breathe deep in and out."Excuse me," I pushed him aside. 
 
As I opened up the door, I smiled at the middle-aged man who was sitting already waiting for me.
 
"So, are you done discussing with your husband?" As soon as he asked, my innocent smile just fade away.
 
"Can this interview start?".
 
And with that, the interview began.
