Chapter 16: Visiting the CEO for the first time

Anastasia's POV
"Never seen a white cake, this beautiful!" Exclaimed Jenny licking off strawberry toppings.
"I know right, reminds me of snow dancing!" I exclaimed excitedly. Looking for a knife to cut a piece out for Jennifer and me.
"I don't want to cut this cake, it looks so beautiful. It's been ages since I was gifted a cake" I pout.
*clicks and lighting*
"Done, now you don't only have the pictures of the cake but also the videos saved in the cloud the fire it can even get missing?" said Jennifer with all pride as if she has discovered the cure to cancer.
"Didn't think of that"
"You have me for that girlie"
"True" I agreed. Cutting out a piece for us and taking it to the sitting room while we sat down on the sofa, pyjamas on and watching a late vampire movie.
"You know, Ava is such a cute girl. Sadly, she is going through all these"
"Well, where is her mother? Never heard of anything mentioned about the mother or a wife"
"Maybe he got married in secret..?" Come to think of it.
"No, I don't think so. It has never been in any celebrity gust magazine and you know how current I am about these things"
"Well, that's right. "
"Oh maybe, he lost his wife?" She offered.
"That's a probability and then just like in the movies. He blame himself for her death, went into isolation and became a very brutal, lonely man divider on working to make his empire even bigger" Jennifer just stood looking at me disbelieving, a piece is cake hanging.
"You really should not become too addicted to these fantasies my love" I sighed.
"I agreed to go ahead with the deal and help Ava," I said quietly.
"You mean and go ahead to help the man. Do you have the hots for him, Anna?"
"What nonsense are you saying? I just voluntarily want to help him. He doesn't even have to pay me. Even Dior likes Ava" Dior slapped his ears winning when he heard his name before going back to eating his food from his dog plate.
"Umm, anything you say. Superhero Anastasia, coming to save the day!" She said laughing.
"Hey! I am a teacher and my job entails me to prioritise my pupils first"
"Uhu, I hear you, Ma'am. But hope you can still remember the part that you will have to act like a Nanny to the girl"
"It's not a nanny job. I am just a private teacher and supervisor. Besides, what is bad in taking care of a child even though it's called a nanny, I see it as babysitting.
" What a hopeless soul," she said rolling her eyes and buying off the last piece of her cake.
"But this cake is good though "
"I know right!"
"So, what are you wearing tomorrow?"
"My normal outfit...?" I shrugged.
"Is there any way, I can convince you to wear something that will show off your ass and require you to pair it with a couple of inches high heels?"
"You could try if you want to sleep convincing me " I mocked bringing out my tongue playfully at her.
"Hey Jennifer, how far with the audition?" I asked already knowing the answer. But I just had to show her that I care.
She pulled down a glass of wine before shaking her masked face" no word yet"
"Awww, you gorgeous come here and get this giant hug " I pulled in and gave her a big hug.
"You just don't give up and it will surprise you what the universe has installed for you"
"I hope so, because after this last one. I think I am done." I sighed and we hugged, finished the 1hr 30minutes horror in each other's arm. The cake substitute for the popcorn.
*********
I woke up almost late the next morning with a slight headache and a hungover. Went to the toilet, brushed my teeth and had a shower, washing my hair clean.
Checked through my wardrobe and brought out a beige coloured hoodie over my jeans trouser.
"Is there no way, I can convince you to borrow one of my clothes and use those designer bags you gifted me from Mr president"
"I have that," I said pointing to my small while leather skin with a chain side bag.
"At least, let me do the hair for you then" I had to allow Jennifer to have her way before she either gets mad or waste my time, seems like I am already running late.
"Okay fine"
"Yay!" she said smiling.
"Curls will look so good"
"No, just let my hair be in the normal form. I am running late"
"Spoilsport," she said pouting before going ahead to apply hair cream and started combing it out.
*1hr later*
"Fine, I will have to be on my way, done or not!" I shouted
"Done" this girl had to trim my hair and even made my lashes! I turned around to look at myself in the mirror.
"Wow, it looks so sleek and beautiful"
"Wait a minute..." I rolled my eyes and stood up wearing my white sneakers over my socks and picking my bag up when she came back from her room with a lip gloss.
"Ahhh and smack," she said gently dabbing the excess gloss with her finger.
"Now, you are go to go best friend!"
"Thank you so much, I feel pretty"
"You are beautiful, never feel otherwise" I can't love this amazing lady less. I blew her a kiss and she did the same before I sprint out of the office, looking at the direction online map Mr Aaron Bkacks sent me.
Had to take the rapid bus transit before entering a taxi down to his office not any kind of public transport are allowed around the vicinity. Thank goodness I used the rapid transit first if not, don't think I will have any chance at any home.
It's no wonder he is referred to as Mr President because this might tall skyscraper looks everything like a presidential villa. Everything seems to be made of glass that shouts luxury and wealth.
I gulped, wishing that I follows Jennifer's idea and dressed appropriately for such an event. This building from the outside already is the hotel we held the Parents Teachers Association Meeting at. Must have a year and fortune to build this thing up.
I took a deep and walked in, everyone was wearing a grey coloured suit. Mostly at least with a high inch silhouette and expensive-looking cover shoes. Everyone seemed to be busy walking up and down with focus driven strides.
"Hey, I am here for Mr Aaron Blacks," I asked a leader behind a counter who looks like a receptionist.
"You mean Mr President Aaron Blacks?
