IRIS' POV
I groaned as the ray of sunshine hit my sleepy eyes, I wanted to scream. Burying my face into the pillow, I sighed realizing I needed to get up. I sat up slowly, smelling the freshly cooked pancakes filling the house. My stomach growled, " I know, I know" I rubbed my stomach getting off the bed.
I arrived downstairs, seeing my mum and eighteen years old sister, Charis. " why didn't no one call me" I asked sitting down opposite charis " uhn, like a million times we did" I sent charis a glare, " whatever…morning mum" she gave a tight smile " some morning, what are you doing today" she asked. I ate my pancakes, shrugging with my mouth full, once I had finished with the portion in my mouth "hmm, get a job I guess" charis smiled " about time" I threw some grapes that were sorted at the table at her " stop that now.." mum gave an angry sigh like she was holding her anger " Iris, what charis meant to say was you're finally going to get out your space and get a job.. in a good way"
I sat back gazing at charis " No, no, she knows what she meant" mum sighed again " mum's right maybe this time you won't get sacked like the last time or the last two times..or was it three" I cleanched my fist seeing the sarcastic look on her face " Fuck you" I mouthed, she stuck out her tongue. Mum shook her head "unbelievable" she whispered to herself.
My phone beeped I checked to see who it was, it was Lance, my so called boyfriend. I read the message, my mood drained " what's wrong" I set the phone down and shrugged " just got dumped" charis chuckled, I chuckled alongside her " you deserve better Iris, let that duchebag go" she winked " easy for you to say, you and Donald have been together for..three years? And this is my fourth this year" she smirked " maybe you're just rushing into things" I rolled my eyes and got up, she was right, lance was a waste of time, I might just probably die single.
After washing up I picked out my outfit for the far, I brought out a black palazzo trousers and a green satin shirt, wearing it I already felt confident, Today was going to be a great day aside Lance break up, I just know I would have a thrilling day today. I curled my dirty blonde hair which was just at back's length, wearing simple accessories and a black low heels , finishing it with a black hand bag. I smiled "stunning". I couldn't apply make up because I was getting late, I just worse a light lipstick and put on my mascara.
I headed downstairs " wish me luck guys" charis answered " break a leg" I gave a small smile and headed out. Sighing as the fresh air hit my nose, this really seemed like it was going to be a wonderful day.
I thanked the driver as I got out the taxi, I could see the massive building ahead 'FOXLEY CORP'. One of the top leading corporations in the world. I thought I was going too extra when I decided to apply here, but if I didn't take big steps now, I will continue to wallow in sadness all my life. I'll grow up to be those grumpy oldies who hated children playing on their front porch. As I took a step, a car sped past me in full speed, splashing the dirty puddle on me from head to toe. I froze " SON OF A BITCH" I screamed as the car sped past me, what a prick! What a great day this is.
I noticed the car take a turn into the Foxley corp garage, I raced after it, I needed an apology right now, and damn I was having a freaking interview, I can't go in like this. I saw the car sitting in a the rows of cars, I didn't see anyone come out so I believed the rider was still inside. Fuming I stomped up to the car and knocked on the windows furiously. The windows slowly opened and revealed the most breathtaking man I have ever set eyes on, I almost drooled then remember why I was here "hi? So you splashed water on me just back there, I demand an apology" he looked me up and down like I was some mad woman speaking gibberish. I waved my hand in his face " uhn..hello? Did you hear me? I am dreanched and I have a very important interview I am heading to…" he rolled up the glass.
I tapped on the glasses continuously "hey, hey, listen to me" he got out and the cologne from the car filled my nose, it made my knees weak from how good it smelled. I looked up at him, God he was tall, " what should I do about it" he replied so indifferently. I was too stunned to speak " Atleast freaking apologize,hello? That's simple courtesy". He scoffed " what would you know about courtesy" I rose a brow " uhn a lot? At least I wouldn't speed past someone, splashing dirt water on them without apologizing…I have an interview to get to and by my time" I looked at my watch " I am late, this was meant to be a wonderful day for me" he gazed at me, slightly amused like he liked how pathetic I looked. He walked past me not saying anything thing, my mouth agape I couldn't believe he just left.
I turned around following him as I tried to get his attention, good he was going to the same place as me, maybe he was here for an interview too, though he looked too elegant for that "should I tell you what you are?An arrogant bastard" I halted as he just walked right into the elevator. I fumed, some other time I'll face that bastard, I went to the restroom to clean up then went ahead to settle were other applicants sat waiting for their turn.
I can't let that jerk get the best of me, today should be a good day, and it will be. I was called upon, I rose up, the lady gave me a look. " yeah I look a mess" I have her a knowing answer and went ahead, I sighed, I'll explain my wet situation and calmly respond to all questions.
I opened the door, and that familiar face sat across from me. "You've got to be shitting me, why are you here?" I frowned.
