Chapter thirty three 3

Jemima's POV

After delivering the cakes to Mrs Joy Weiner's office, my next destination was King's advertising and marketing company.I had worn a black pencil skirt, a white turtle neck and a black leather jacket.The look wouldn't be complete without a pair of nude stilettos and a touch of simple natural makeup look.

After a ten minutes walk, I was greatly relieved that I was not late for my interview.When I walked into the building, an attractive , groomed young woman who was at the reception smiled pleasantly at me.

"Hello madam,What can I do for you?"

"I am here to see Sir Jordan King."

"And you are?"

"Miss Jemima."

"Please sign here."She requested after getting a confirmation I have an appointment.As I signed in, she handed me a security pass that had 'visitor' very firmly stamped on it.

"His office is on the tenth floor..."After thanking her, I walked over the bank of elevators when my phone began blaring music.I reached for it in the depths of my handbag earning a weird look from the smartly dressed security officers.

"Hey Drake?" I beamed.

"Hey pretty doll, I just wanted to wish you all the best in your interview today.You got this, just be confident..."

"Thanks Captain..."

"Anytime doll face.Later or else your brother will be on my case..." He hanged up.After thanking her, I walked over the bank of elevators when my phone began blaring music.

I reached for it in the depths of my handbag earning a weird look from the smartly dressed security officers.After being whisked at an intensity velocity to the tenth floor.The doors slide open and I was in another lobby with modern and elegant furnishing.One more look at myself and I was good to go.I was again confronted with a young beautiful dressed woman.

"Kindly have a seat, Mr Jordan will be out of his meeting soon." She explained and pointed to a seated area with black leather chairs.Before I could ask for a glass of water, she got back to her desk and continued minding her business.I waited for what seems like forever when another beautiful lady walked to me after talking to the girl from earlier.

"Mr Jordan will see you soon, I will walk you to his office..."

" Okay...." I stood up and followed her.

As I sat on the couch waiting for him, I couldn't help but look around.Black executive desk, leather upholstered chairs, floating shelves filled with books and awards, a huge portrait of a dark handsome man on the wall behind the desk , sleek wood-panelled walls and floor to ceiling windows.I stood up curiously and walked to the window.I was momentarily paralysed by the view.The entire city looked beautiful from up there.

"Hello there?"I turned around to look at him and my jaw dropped on the floor.His voice was warm and deep.He was more handsome in person than on the portrait.I thought tall, dark and handsome men only existed in novels until I meet Jordan King.


Tall, muscular dressed in a fine black suit, white shirt and yellow tie.

"I hope I didn't keep you waiting..."

"No sir...." I replied, walking towards him.Tall, muscular dressed in a fine black suit, white shirt and yellow tie.

"I hope I didn't keep you waiting..."

"No sir." I replied, walking towards him.

"I am Jordan King" He extended his perfectly manicured hand to me.

"I am Jemima Job."I shook his hand as his steady gaze heated me up.Finally he freed my hand and I withdrew it hastily embarrassed.

"Tea, coffee or juice?"

"A glass of water will do..."

"Hey, kindly bring miss Jemima a glass of water.Cold or warm?" He asked, turning his attention back to me.

"Cold..."

"You heard her..."

I sat self consciously on the couch, his gaze penetrating me.it really made me uncomfortable.

"I am surprised that my dad finally found my kind of woman..." He groaned and sank gracefully onto the couch beside me.Excuse me what's happening.My inner goddess spat out the wine in her mouth.I am surprised as you are b*tch.My subconscious mind sneered.

Excuse me what's happening.My inner goddess spat out the wine in her mouth.I am surprised as you are b*tch.My subconscious mind sneered. "I don't know what you are talking about Sir..."

"He didn't rant about his bachelor son who is reluctant to get married and that you would be the perfect match for him.Trust me that's the line he uses on every girl he comes around and thinks is my type.Surprisingly this time he got it right..."

"I guess there is some sort of mistake.I am here for a job interview, he gave me your card and requested I get in touch with you..."

"I am so sorry.He had mentioned about it too..."He gave me a small smile.

"It's okay Sir. Here is my CV and everything you need..." I handed him a brown envelope and he placed it on the coffee table.He didn't bother to even open it.How rude! My inner goddess rolled her eyes at him.

"So what's your expertise?" His voice was steady and confident.

"I graduated with first class honours in bachelor of commerce and finance but I have been unfortunate not to get a job anywhere..."

"So what's your expertise?" His voice was steady and confident.

"I graduated with first class honours in bachelor of commerce and finance but I have been unfortunate not to get a job anywhere..."

"So where do you see yourself in five years?" He asked with a straight face.

"Probably owning a small cafeteria where I will be selling coffee , cakes and pastries."

"What did you do the first time you weren't called back after an interview?"

"I was angry and disappointed but life moves on.Bills ain't gonna pay themselves. So my bestfriend and I started our own bakery shop."

"Do you want to be feared or respected?"

"I want to be respected..."

"What's your weakness?"Jeez what does this question have to do with the job?

"Excuse me sir, I can't see how that is related to the job..." I pointed out dryly.

"Just a question miss Job." He flashed me a weak apologetic smile.

"And a personal one..."He cocked his head on one side and smiled at me," Describe yourself in two words?"

"Ambitious and self driven."

"Good news is you got the job but you have to start next month.There will be a job opening of an assistant internal auditor but till then you can work as an intern. We have excellent internship program here."

"Thank you so much Sir.If you don't mind, can I start next week?"

" Sure and that's all Miss Jemima Job.The interview is over."

Why can't he just get his warm beautiful eyes off me just for even a nanosecond so as I can even my breaths.I am even self consciously breathing.

"Are you dating, married or single?" He ask in a soft voice.I could sense the easiness and warmth from earlier was back

"I am single..." I whispered since that Linda girl was approaching us with my glass of water.There a comfortable silence as Linda placed the glass on the table and left."Where were we?" He handed me the glass of water.

"The part you ask a personal question..."

"Oooh yeah!So I don't understand why you are single?You are beautiful, smart and by the look of it you are confident..."

"Let's just say Love has never been my thing.Can I go now?"

"Sure..."As I rose, he stood up and held out his hand.

"Thank you for coming Miss Jemima Job."I shook his hand and he walked me to the door.

"Do you have a car?" He asked and I shook my head wordlessly.

"My driver will take you home..."

"But..."

"We wouldn't want my intern having sunburns.The sun is unbearably scorching today."He opened the door wide for me and I was surprised he walked me out.Even his personal assistant whose desk was outside his office also widened her eyes in shock.

"See yoU next week Miss Jemima Job and take Care.

"Thank you"I walked gracefully into the elevator still feeling his gaze on me.Please heavens don't let me trip or fall on this heels.It would be embarrassing. Finally when the elevator's doors slid close, I sighed with relief..Damn that was awkward felt like my heart was in my throat the whole time.
