Her
chapter 1
Caleb Harrison
Your academic results are amazing Ms. Cara...
Cara
Just Cara sir. I don't have a surname
he looked up to see me for the first time before looking back to my resume
I can feel my hands sweating. I am sitting in the middle of the room more like in front of Mr. Caleb Harrison, who is head of HCV groups and Ria miller, who is my junior in middle school and also his current secretary, they are interviewing me for the last 45 minutes. I am jobless 24-year-old girl. I have failed in 2 interviews and if there is a problem with having no surname then I make a hat trick
Ria
so it's says that you are dropped out from high school and college several times and Today we have more qualified people who studied in top universities waiting outside to get this job.
Ria
what makes you believe that you are going to get this job
why should I hire you thing.
I am not gonna say same thing I said in my past interviews like hard working, blah blah..
From the look on her face I can already tell that they gonna throw my resume in dustbin right after I step out. so..
Cara
Ms.miller, can I be honest?
Caleb Harrison
You should be honest Ms. Cara
he smiled, not big not small just cute. I smiled before continuing
Cara
I worked in a bar for 3 years to earn some Money to pay semester fee. working in such place is no easy. you might already know how a person acts when he/she was drunk. yet I worked for 3 years
Ria
Ms. Cara, we don't need your history
Cara
Ms. miller, I didn't finish, yet
Cara
I survived there 3 years because of my boss. He always stood for us when ever there is an issue, and he also paid us well, in return we gave our best.
Cara
and no employee quit their job unless they have to move from city
Cara
but here… No offense Mr. Harrison, in last 2 years 4 of your secretaries resigned and with Ms. miller it's 5
Ria turned to Harrison whose face turned red
Caleb Harrison
so you are telling me I am not a good boss!?
Cara
if you were bad you won't be sitting next to her and considering her suggestions for this interview. Instead, you might leave all this thing to her, but you are here.
Cara
by the way you reacted to me earlier I can tell that you might have some angry issues
this time Mr. Harrison looked shock for a second then chuckled
Caleb Harrison
you are right
Cara
my boss is good but harsh at times and I got used to it. Those top universities people will definitely get a job anywhere but me, it will be hard to find one like this
Cara
so even if you shout on me anytime, I won't take it to heart because I'm experienced but in worst case
Cara
I might cry in my cabin for few minutes then come back to you to inform your next schedule
he busted into laugh at some point he choked, and his laugh ended up coughing.
Ria handed him some water before siting back
Caleb Harrison
you are hired
he gave a cut nod with proud smile. Placing the empty glass on table
he stood and extended his arm. I jumped from my seat to shake his hand before he changes his mind
Caleb Harrison
congrats Ms. Cara.
Caleb Harrison
Ms. ria will give you appointment order. Sign on it, and she will train you for a month and I hate late comers, so I want to see you here at sharp 7 am tomorrow. Am I clear?
chapter 2
I placed the food on the table which is in front of TV, 4 people can sit around it, we usually play cards here but it won't be comfortable for eating
It has been a month I moved to this apartment. After my graduation I moved to Texas, but I used to live in Pennsylvania
I jogged with excitement when I heard the doorbell
as soon as I opened it I was engulfed by two people. Almost knocking the air out of me
Cara
Ana! Theo! My breath! Oxygen...
Ana, theo started chanting 'congrats!!' as they're squeezing me even more in process
Theo Adler
no one can stop me hugging my baby
Ana slowly went back and Nick pulled Theo back as I can finally breathe
nick gently hugged me placing a kiss on my head. I smiled widely looking at them
lady in my next door barged out, folding her arms, sending us her glare, ready to shout on us for making 'nuisance'
this is the 3rd time in this month. My people won't say hi without shouting and that lady won't bare even a second if there is noise
nick casually went inside and took the article laying on couch as he sat on it totally ignoring her. while I and Ana immediately apologized as Theo glared back at that middle-aged lady
I quickly dragged him inside and closed the door and made him sit beside nick and I sat next to him while ana sat on the chair
analia parker
woah she is scary
Theo Adler
I hate this place, Cara I know an apartment, it is perfect and price is also reasonable and most importantly
Theo Adler
that neighborhood is so good YOU Won't FIND ANY STUPID OLD LADY LIKE THAT
Cara
I chuckled "yeah, actually I'm looking for a place"
Theo Adler
well then tell me when you are free, we can go take a look
analia parker
you'll say you are busy every time I ask you for a help, but for Cara you got time?
Theo Adler
anything for Cara 🥰
I gave him a side hug. Theo is son of my uncle, Rodger who is brother of my mom. Theo is my small cousin, 22-year-old, working in a gaming company.
while analia is going to college and 20-year-old. She is daughter of my mom's elder sister, Cathy.
While Nick is a 28-year-old cop, son of aunt Cathy
aunt Cathy always treated me like her daughter so my bond with Ana and Nick is always felt like real
nick is an overprotective brother, Ana is like my best friend as well as sweet sister
uncle Rodger is… Something else. Unlike their father I have a good bond with my cousins. By the way I forget to tell about ralph
ralph is an 27-year-old handsome cousin, working as a manager in SMN entertainment.
he helped me to get this job in fact. I never thought of applying in such big company, but he made me do.
and yeah, whatever I said in interview was actually Ralph told me.
he couldn't make it because he is busy with the work but called me to congratulate me
after my mom's death. My dad left me in orphanage and not once came to see me from then
my aunt want me to stay with her but I refuged because I had this feeling that her husband is not happy with her idea
and my uncle is totally money person and he irritates me with his words, which I choose to ignore wisely
my door bell rang which snap me out of my thought
ana went open it while Theo giving me bright smile
Ralph stood at there holding bunch of shopping bags
everyone in the room started shouting 'suprise'
chapter 3
I jumped from my place as I ran towards the door dragging Ralph inside before closing the door
I looked at peephole when I make sure that crazy lady is not here I turned to see Ralph looking down at our hands
Cara
you know, this lady in my next door is weirdo😅
Cara
you said you are busy?
Ralph Adler
just wanted to surprise you
he said as he stared at me with a smile
Nick parker
are you trying to hit on my sister
Nick parker
yeah better be not because your father will not appreciate it
Ralph Adler
I don't care what he thinks, whoever I love he just needs to accept it. That's all
Theo Adler
Okay let's open the gifts!
they fished out their gifts, handing it to me
Nick parker
You really want to see what I got to you,
Ralph Adler
I got a very colorful gift
Cara
why do guys gifting me all of a sudden. It's not even my birthday
analia parker
please shut up and open mine
Theo Adler
let's play stone paper scissor
Ralph took my place and I dragged a chair towards couch next to nick, as Ana sat back in her place, opposite me next to Theo
they all started playing to decide the order of opening gifts.
I feel like I am sitting with a bunch of middle school kids
finally they decided as Theo handed me his gift with wide smile
Cara
OMG! Chanel! It costs so much, why did you waste your money
Theo Adler
oh! Com'on! Thank me if you like it, this is my first gift 🥺
Cara
Okay fine, thank you. I really liked it
Theo Adler
🤩I know it. The moment I saw this I know it is meant to be your. Immediately I bought it before anyone see this
Cara
still, I know it costs your whole monthly income. don't do this again okay? Promise
Cara
Then you keep your gift with you
Theo Adler
fine I won't do again
Ana stick out her tongue to Theo to which he flicked her forehead
nick stared at me for a moment, holding his gift to him, more like thinking whether to give me or not
Cara
nick, what did you get?
Nick parker
before you open it, I want to remind you that I am your brother, who want to pamper his sister.
Cara
do you really have to go to Chanel to buy me gifts?
analia parker
if I were you I would have asked for more
Nick parker
Cara, all these years you never left Pennsylvania because of your stupid dad, but you are finally here now. You are moving on
Nick parker
and you got a good job. We know this job means a lot to you, So we want to celebrate this moment, we want to cherish you. We want you to be happy
Nick parker
And remember money is nothing when it comes to you
tears started falling from my eyes as I moved forward to give a big hug to them,
Cara
I'm blessed to have you all in my life
Nick parker
feelings are mutual
Nick parker
can you guys stop repeating like parrots
I chuckled and opened Ana gift
it's a box full of my favorite chocolates and another box is a filled with scent candles, aura oils, bath bomb and few other relaxing items
analia parker
😎I know babe
Cara
now last but not least Ralph
he handed me two shopping bags with a smile
he got to be kidding me...
a beautiful pink dress in one bag with matching earrings, wallet and heals in other bag
analia parker
woah! I wish I got a job
Cara
Amazing! I never wore this kind of dress!
Cara

Theo Adler

Ralph Adler

Cara
oh.. 😅
And Theo I love your gift, but I just don't want you to turn like Ralph, and we all know how Ralph spends his money on stupid things but this pink baby totally worth it
analia parker
totally agreed
Ralph Adler

Ralph Adler
And I love my cars
analia parker

Ralph Adler
I won't eat anything until you all say sorry to my cars for calling them stupid
analia parker

Ralph Adler

analia parker

Theo Adler

Ralph Adler
