The Ruthless Billionaire and his little Miss
Chapter 1: The Interview
Nyx POV:
grrrrrrr!!!!
I slowly opened my eyelids, woken up by the sound of my alarm. I stretch on my bed slowly trying to find my way back to reality.. grrrrrrr!!! I unconsciously reached out for my phone, the title of the alarm was clearly written "Interview" with the time being 7:10… I instantly got out of bed, being clearly awake at this point.. My interview is by 9am, meaning I have less than two hours to get ready and present myself at this company. I made my way to the kitchen right after making my bed, I always make sure to fix breakfast first, if I skip this process, I might forget to eat -Literally I can stay the whole day without eating. I brought some bread from the refrigerator and made toast for breakfast…. I also watered my tiny garden which was at my kitchen balcony, I planted some vegetables and spices, I took my time to care for them today because When I get this job, which I would hopefully, I won't have enough time for this vegetables like I've hard these past weeks… I rushed to get dressed and set for my interview. I stared at myself in the mirror disappointed about the outcome of my hair, I wanted to do a slick back as I thought that would make me look professional, I could have sworn it that it looked way better when I imagined it. I have to quickly do something about this, I tried brushing out my hair as I checked the time 8:00, I quickly scanned through the pack of my hair accessories looking for my pair of black hair packs, None!!!…. None??! I could have sworn I had it in here, I searched the room for it, trying not to get my dress rumbled in the process. I realized that I don't have much time and I have to improvise, I searched my pack of hair accessories again, then I found a bunch of my hair packs, but they all looked horrible, first the red and yellow pairs were too loud and didn't match my dress, the rest looked, well…. Too childish and cute for work, which is clearly not my fault that I like cute things!!!….
I tried combing my hair out, trying to pack it in a ponytail, but due to the previous slick back hair disaster, the hair was not giving the ideal look that I was aiming for… so I decided to go for a two buns and two front bangs, I had no option that to use my cute hair packs and scrunchies, I also had to use pair of hair pins to hold the bangs in place, I looked at the mirror and was pleased with the look, but there was a huge contrast between my hair look and my outfit, the gown I wore gave out a professional look but my hair looked like -no it was literally a Children themed park. I sighed at my options, It's either I changed my hairstyle or I changed my outfit, the former is not an option for me because I spent time already to get the hair done and if I get it done again, I'm going to be really late. I checked my cell phone and the time was 8:30, however while dropping my phone back on the table, my cup of instant coffee spilled on Me…. Ugh!!! My luck must be really absent today, I stared at my dress as tears gathered at the corner of my eyes threatening to fall, I looked up trying to hold the tears in. It was decided then, I have to change my outfit, to What exactly!!! I got this outfit specifically for the interview, I got some more incase I got the job but they haven't been ironed yet and are quite rumbled. I opened my wardrobe and stared at my options, I was met with cute outfits which unfortunately at this moment made me really angry, why do I have such aesthetics!!!! I composed myself and straightened my face, I grabbed the less cute outfit I had, which was a pink floral pinafore dress with a white teddy bear printed inner top. it's better to be present and at this point, what I wear doesn't matter. I grabbed my phone and stared at the time 8:50! Just 15minutes left??!!! The company is 10minutes away and the bus won't be here till 8:55… I have to ditch the bus, but what can I use? I don't have a car, my dad didn't deem me fit as one of his offspring to give me anything let alone a car, the only mode of transportation I have now is my bicycle, I looked it the window where my bicycle was packed at the balcony. Funny enough it was not an adult bicycle but an average kid bicycle, I'm not tall enough and I'm too scared to ride an adult bicycle. It looked cute and all with all the cute stickers and charms on it, which right now irritated me… Well, I have no choice, it won't matter I assured myself as I got set and climbed on my bike. I rode off towards the direction of the 'Jones' cooperation, as I rode my bike made a 'ting' sound, it started off weird but later on I didn't mind it at all, I'm bringing realness , cuteness to be precise into this company and they better deal with it. This is who I am!!!! I shouted in my head, I stopped at the entrance of the Company, just so you know, the site for our interview is a small hall before the main company's building, not just anyone is allowed into the company. I smiled at the security guard as I packed my bike against their post "Please kind Sirs my bike is here, please can you watch over it…, Thanks!!!" I smiled skipping off to what seems like the interview venue due to the crowd present. I handed out my documents and patiently waited for my name to be called on. After what felt like hours, "Miss Nyx Irene"!!! My name was called. I hurriedly made my way to be room, I knocked on the door as I made my way in, the aura in this room was tensed!!! I made my way into my reserved seat for the interview, I was about greeting the interviewers when I heard "Next!!!" Disbelief and uncertainty was written all over my face, You come in for an interview looking like that?! The First Lady pointed out harshly. I looked at myself in the reflection of the glass table. I sighed, I greeted the interviewers, then I proceeded I am sure that I appear neat and I don't smell, well you should have dressed in corporate uniform Atleast a three piece suit set, the other female interviewer replied… Huh?! How do you expect some of us to afford that, when we are clearly here to get a job, I responded, well I may be soft but I always make sure to speak my mind. Next!!! The lady called out again, I was on the verge of tears, Thank You!!! I replied heading out with my heads high although shakily but Atleast with my head high… "I knew she won't make it long in there, just look at what she wore" "does she think we are here for games?!" I heard the whispers but still walked off with head high.
Raphael Jones POV
I was busy with work, I'm meant to be involved with the final stage of the interview but that doesn't stop me from overseeing the affairs and progress of the interview, A screen playing the currently ongoing interview was placed by my side while I work. Theodore seems to be cranky today as he goes round throwing tantrums, Play with Me!!!! Play with Me!!! He says as he drags my leg.
"Huh?! How do you expect some of us to afford that, when we are clearly here to get a job" Those statements echoed throughout my office, I instantly turned towards the screen with curiosity, I was met with a visual of a Kid?! A kid here for an interview?! I looked at the screen again taking voice, looks and more factors into account. I doubt if that's a kid, but why dressed as one?! I questioned as I stared at the screen. The interview has been going on for a long time now and not for once have I raised my head or payed attention to the screen. I stared in curiosity and in awe at this girl??! Or lady??! as she puffed out her cheeks and clenched her fist, as she bowed her head and left… Yay!!!! A princess!!! A cartoon princess!!! Theodore called out pointing at the screen excitedly, A princess is here he said as he ran out of the office. "Princess where are you?!" He screamed as he ran through the halls, with guards behind him. I sighed as I got up and left the office
