Chapter four- I got the job

Lisa POV

“So tell me how was the interview with the hottest twins billionaire in the world?”. Clara said to me immediately I entered the apartment.

“Hello to you!”. I waved at her and sat on the couch.

“Save the greeting for later. I didn’t realize you were going to A and A enterprise until you left. If not, I would have accompanied you. So tell me did you get to see one of the twins?”. Clara eagerly asked me. She left where she was standing and came and sat near me.

“Yes I met Aspen. He did the interview for me!”. I told her.

“Ahhh!”. Clara let out a squirrel. “ I can’t believe you met my billionaire crush. What did his voice sound like? Is he as handsome as his pictures on the internet?”. Clara asked.

“You are going to kill me with so many questions. Yes he is handsome!”. I said.

I closed my eyes for a few minutes and recalled the moment at the interview. His sweet voice and how I felt when he held my hand.

“Why are you smiling with your eyes closed? I hope you are not thinking about my crush?”. Clara asked as she tapped me.

“No, I just remembered something!”. I lied.

“Whatever makes you sleep at night.” Lisa said.

“I am telling the truth!”. I said and Clara gave me a face.

“So how was the interview?”. Clara asked.

“It was good!.” I plainly answered.

“Just good?”. Clara asked.

“Yes, just good. I don’t think I am getting the job so I might as well not talk about it!.” I replied to her.

“Why did you think you won’t get it? I am sure you are qualified for the job. You are pretty, you are smart and you also have working experience. So please tell me why you think you won’t get the job?.” Clara asked.

“Well there are other ladies who are more qualified than me and prettier!”. I answered. I intentionally left the part of how I kept staring and also the fall.

“Bullshit! So what if the other girls are finer? Just believe and have confidence that you will get the job and the job will be yours. That’s the law of attraction. I hate how you downgrade yourself sometimes!”. Clara scolded me.

“I know it's just that….” I started to say but then I was interrupted by the buzzing of my phone.

I removed my phone from my bag and checked who it was. I frowned when I saw that it was a new number. I usually don’t get calls from new numbers. Nevertheless I still decided to answer.

“Hello?”. I said when I answered the phone.

“Hello good afternoon. Am I speaking to Miss Lisa Thomas?”. I heard the familiar voice asked through the phone. My eyes immediately widened up and I stood up with the phone still in my ear.

Seeing my reaction, Clara too stood up and asked me who it was using sign language.

“ Hello, are you still here?”. I heard the voice of Aspen ask through the phone again. Out of shock I have forgotten that I didn’t answer him.

“Y-Yes I am.” I stuttered.

“Good. It’s Aspen from A and A enterprise. I am calling to inform you that you have been selected for the job. Can you make it to the office tomorrow by 9am?”. Mr Aspen asked.

I couldn’t respond to him because my mind was already frozen.

“I got the job?”. That’s the only thing that was ringing in my brain.

“Miss Thomas?”. Aspen called bringing me out of my mind frize

“Sorry Sir. I can make it by 9.” I replied to his question from earlier on.

“Good see you tomorrow then. Have a nice day!”. Aspen said and he cut the call.

Immediately he cut the call, I dropped the phone on the ground and let out a scream.

“Hey why are you shouting? Who were you on the phone with?”. Clara restlessly asked me.

“I got the job.” I simply told her.

“What do you mean you got the job?”. Clara asked, looking confused.

“The interview. I got the job!”. I explained to Clara.

Clara too let out a scream and hugged me. We both kept on screaming and hugging each other. After a few minutes we let go of each other.

“I told you that you are going to get the job, didn't I?”. Clara pointed out.

“You sure did!”. I answered and hugged her. I am really lucky to have Clara in my life. She is my support system.

“So when did they want you to start reporting for work?”. Clara inquired.

“Tomorrow!”. I answered.

“ Tomorrow?”. That’s fast but then what do I expect from a top company like that? Anyway I can’t believe my friend is now the assistant to the billionaire twins!”. Clara said with a big smile on her face.

I can’t believe they chose me for the job whereas there were other perfect candidates. Speaking of the other ladies, I remember that this means I need a new office wardrobe then.

“What is up with the face?.” Clara asks when she notices the swore look on my face.

“I need a new office wardrobe but I can’t afford it!.” I told her. Money is really tight for me at the moment.

“You don’t have to worry about that. You know my friend Shawn right?”. Clara asked and I rolled my eyes at her. Shawn is Clara gay friend. I use to have a crush on him before I found out that he is gay. I was heartbroken for a second.

“Yes I remember him. What about him?.” I asked her.

“He works in this boutique that sells business outfits. We can ask him if he can give you the clothes on credit so that you can pay when you get your first pay.” Clara advice.

“That would be good advice except I don’t know how much they will be paying me. I don’t think it advisable to start making credit with it.” I explained to Clara.

“O please. I am sure of it. The enterprises are known to be very generous with their employees' wages.” Clara pointed out.

“Okay if you say so. But if the plan backfires it’s you.” I said.

“Okay!”. Clara said and picked her phone to call Shawn.
