I am late, Nick must have gotten out of school by now, he must be waiting for me.Being a single mother is not an easy task, you have to handle everything alone.
"Hey Nick, sorry for being late."I said and hug him.
"It's okay mom, you must be busy." He said and we start walking, he told me what he done in school today.He's only 5 years old, but he understands everything.
"Nick,I want to tell you something."I said with small smile on my face.
"What?" He asked curiously.
"Tommorow I have a job interview and if I get this job, I will not able spent much time with you. I hope you will understand." I explained him. I was working in café but the amount they pay me was not enough for our survival and on weekends I take tution to earn more.
"It's okay mom,now I am big boy and I take care of myself." He said with big smile on his face.
-------------------------------------------------
Next morning I wake up early and get ready for interview. I was wearing white blouse and black pencil skirt. I already made breakfast fast for Nick while he was sleeping peacefully. After checking everything, I headed toward the bus stop.
When I arrived and saw Luciana cooperation in big letters. The building is more like skyscraper. Anyway I don't have time to admire the building, I went to reception.
"Excuse me,I am here for the job interview."I told the receptionist. She observed me from head to toe.
"25th floor." She said not looking at me and I thanks her went toward lift.
As I went in front of office and knock the door.
"Come in." a firm voice come and I entered.
"Good morning sir -" I stop when I saw him,he was my school bully sitting on chair. Oh god I have left everything behind,I don't want to suffer again. He noticed my behaviour and small smirk formed on his face.
"It's really nice to meet you again." He said and lean back on chair, then he gesture me to take a sit.
"I-I am Ella, here for the job interview."I stammer but told him why I am here.
" I know, well you'll work for me." He said and I nodded.
"You have to here by 7 am sharp and I drink black coffee with no sugar,want my lunch on the table at 1 pm everyday. You have complete the task you assign before you leave the office. I don't like people who don't follow my order. Understand." Marcus explained .
"Sorry but I will not able to come at 7 am because I have to drop my son at school every morning." I said and saw his brow shot up.
"Are you married?" He asked .
"No, I'm not married. I'm single mother."I said and his eyes widened . I am not going tell him what he done in past with me that I am the mother of his child and I really don't want him know this because he show no mercy on anyone,what if he hurt him.
"So, how it-" before he could ask me anything I cut him
"No personal questions please." He amazed by my reply.
"Okay,well at what time you'll able show yourself in morning?"He asked.
"At 8am, if you have any problem you can reject me" I said. I really don't want to work for him and rather than asking important questions he talking to me.
"You can start from tomorrow." I was shocked by what he said right now.
"Really.... but-"He cut me in between.
"You can leave now." He said and I left his office.
I call my best friend Lita with whom I work in café, told everything thing what happened today and asked her to take care of Nick when I am working in office.she agreed.
