Falling For The Boss
Episode 1
Samantha shouted my name as she was sat on the sofa with her laptop
Elaya Jones
Oh my gosh, what is it?
Samantha Jones
So, I was surfing through the web... And I found something.
Samantha Jones
A job? Yes!
Elaya Jones
Thank you so much
I then took the laptop of her
Elaya Jones
Sorry, I need to send the link to myself
Samantha Jones
You should apply for it like, right now
Elaya Jones
The casserole I was making!
Samantha began to laugh as I ran back into the kitchen
As I finished taking my shower, I wrapped my self in my bathing robe and called my sister into my room to help me pick my outfit.
Elaya Jones
Okay Sam... What should I wear to the interview?
I then frowned confusingly as I waited for her answer
Elaya Jones
Ugh, come on Sam!
Samantha Jones
Okay, fine...
Samantha Jones
The first one!!
Elaya Jones
Okay... Would you say with some gold jewelry?
Samantha Jones
Hmmm... Yes! With a 'half up-half down' hairstyle..
Elaya Jones
Oh yeah. And erm... Curly ends too?
Samantha Jones
Absolutely...
Samantha Jones
Okay, then... Knock yourself out!
Samantha Jones
Take the Longchamp bag I gifted you, by the way
After Sam left my bedroom, I opened my curtains, made my bed and put my clothes out on the bed
I began to pack a few files about me in my bag (resumes and that...)
And this was my finished look
I then got out of my room
Elaya Jones
How do I look?
Samantha Jones
Stunning! OMG
Samantha Jones
Are you going to take the car by the way?
Elaya Jones
Oh yes, definitely
Elaya Jones
The place is too far away
Elaya Jones
Like 15 minutes
Samantha Jones
Oh yeah, I forgot
Elaya Jones
Okay, I'm gonna go now
Samantha Jones
Don't forget
Elaya Jones
Forget what, may I ask?
Samantha Jones
Yes definitely!
Elaya Jones
What do you want me to get?
Samantha Jones
Maybe some Chipotle, Canes and In-and-Out
Elaya Jones
That's too much!
Samantha Jones
Come on now
Samantha Jones
It's just for dinner...
Elaya Jones
I made a casserole last week, that we haven't even finished yet
Samantha Jones
Come on... Please
She gave me her puppy eyes
Elaya Jones
Send me what you want to get like at 15.30
Elaya Jones
Whatever. I have got to go now
Samantha Jones
Bye and good luck, Ela
I said as I left my apartment and closed the door behind me
Then I used the elevator to get to the parking lot
As I was about to get into my car I then encountered with Bruno
Bruno Carter
Where are you going now?
Elaya Jones
Oh, to an interview
Bruno Carter
That's really nice
Bruno Carter
I was actually going to go see you
Bruno Carter
Nothing really...
Elaya Jones
Just say it. You can't give up now
Bruno Carter
It was a gift I was going to give you
Bruno Carter
I'll give it after
Elaya Jones
Just give it now, I'm desperate
Bruno Carter
You'll have to wait
Elaya Jones
Fine, whatever
Bruno Carter
I'll tell you, don't worry. Just get back first
I then hugged him again and gave him a little peck on the cheek
And then I got into my car, started it and drove off
"Your destination is to the left... You have arrived" said the GPS
Before I got away from the car, I sprayed my favorite vanilla perfume on and kept it in my bag. I stepped out and locked my car to go into the building
I went in, looked all around and then took a deep breath. After, I went forward to the receptionist
Some receptionist
Hey, what can I help you with?
Elaya Jones
I'm here for an interview
Some receptionist
Oh, what for?
Elaya Jones
For the secretary
Some receptionist
Oh, Elaya Jones?
She began to type in a few things into the computer
Some receptionist
You are early
Elaya Jones
Oh, I'm so sorry
Some receptionist
Oh no, that's okay!
Some receptionist
The boss loves punctuality, trust me
Elaya Jones
You just relieved my stress, sort of
Some receptionist
Oh, that's okay
Elaya Jones
What is your name?
Alissa Ora
I'm Alissa. You can call me Ali or whatever
Alissa Ora
No, no. I meant anything other nickname
Elaya Jones
Don't worry, I know
Alissa Ora
Let me call a bodyguard to come lead you to the boss' conference room.
She tapped a green button then a big, tall, muscular man then came over about 30 seconds after
Alissa Ora
Okay, Rob will take you to him now.
Elaya Jones
Thank you very much
Alissa Ora
Of course, no worries!
I then followed the man, and we went into the elevator
The man pressed the button that was at the very top. It said "35"
I guess that was the very top floor
After a few minutes have passed we then heard a really loud "DING" come out of the elevator. The doors opened widely, and we were directed into the actual room.
There weren't any corridors to be directed into the conference room, the elevator directed us to the conference room.
Bodyguard Rob
Take a seat over here, he'll be with you in a few minutes
He said as he pointed at the chair
The bodyguard then waited at where the elevator was.
Bodyguard Rob
Good afternoon, sir
I then got up and turned around and...
I bestowed my eyes on perhaps the most hot and well-built male I've ever seen.
Elaya Jones
Good afternoon, Mr...?
Antonio Moretti
Nice to meet you
Elaya Jones
Nice to meet you too, I'm Elaya
Antonio Moretti
Nice perfume. Vanilla?
Elaya Jones
Oh, yes. Thanks
I said as I handed him a few of my files
He then pulled his hand out to shake my hand and I shook it
Trust me, his hands were very soft and warm but at the same time very well-structured
Antonio Moretti
Have a seat
Elaya Jones
Thank you, sir
I sat back down and he went to the very other far end to take his seat
Whenever he spoke, his voice felt frightening but somehow... Soft?
He said as he got comfortable on his seat and sat laid back
Antonio Moretti
You are here for the position of a secretary... Correct?
Elaya Jones
That's right, sir
He looked through my curriculum
Antonio Moretti
It says here that you were once a Marketing Executive
Antonio Moretti
What did you learn from that job role?
He dropped the files on the table
Elaya Jones
So, the job of a Marketing Executive really helped me strengthen my strategic skills and most especially my communication skills and—
Antonio Moretti
Okay, and why aren't you working as that currently?
Elaya Jones
I guess it really had to do with the environment I was placed in. I didn't really feel valued.
Antonio Moretti
Hmm... What makes you think you'll be valued here?
Elaya Jones
I believe that the staff are very nice and also look kind. The environment here simply looks calm and perhaps peaceful
Antonio Moretti
Is it okay if you told me about yourself?
Elaya Jones
Okay, ermm...I currently have a degree in Business. I am also not American, as you can tell by my accent.
Antonio Moretti
Where are you from, then?
Elaya Jones
From the UK actually
Antonio Moretti
Where specifically?
He then smirked as he stroked his chin
Antonio Moretti
What is your favourite soccer team?
Elaya Jones
I think City is better that United.
Antonio Moretti
I don't agree, but tell me more
Then I hear another "DING!"
It was some high heels footsteps going towards the man, as she wore an arguably tight short dress... Like a really short
Antonio Moretti
Tia, what are you doing here?
Tia Hills
Oh nothing, babe. Just checking on you
She said as she looked at me disdainfully
Antonio Moretti
I can't now, I'm busy
Tia Hills
Doing what exactly?
Antonio Moretti
An interview
She then pushed his chair backwards and sat in him as she faced him
Antonio Moretti
You should go... Now
That was quite scary and blunt
Antonio Moretti
I said now
She got up to leave the room and gave me a deathly stare
She got into the elevator and it took her down
Antonio Moretti
Sorry, about her
Elaya Jones
No, it's fine... Sorry if I interrupted anything
Antonio Moretti
No, no. It's okay
Antonio Moretti
Let's continue
Antonio Moretti
This is where the interview ends, Elaya
Elaya Jones
Thank you very much for letting me be here...
Antonio Moretti
No problem
As he smiled, he looked at me for a bit of a long time and I got up
Antonio Moretti
Rob will show you out
Antonio Moretti
See you soon.
I then left with the bodyguard
Minutes later I was found at the reception
Elaya Jones
Hi, what's up?
Alissa Ora
How did the interview go?
Elaya Jones
It was arguably okay?
Elaya Jones
Not until a lady came in
Alissa Ora
Hmm... That was Tia, wasn't it? Blonde with a really short revealing dress?
Elaya Jones
She was so rude..
Elaya Jones
When she asked who I was, I tried to tell her, and she then cut me off….
Alissa Ora
I hate her so much
Alissa Ora
When she came in, I literally told her to wait here until you were done in the interview
Alissa Ora
But she told me to f*ck off
Alissa Ora
Yes. She actually thinks she is the queen over here
Alissa Ora
Not only that, but she also thinks that she is his girlfriend when in reality the boss has brought so many girls in
Alissa Ora
You'll get used to her when you get the job
Elaya Jones
That's if I do of course
Alissa Ora
Trust me, you will
Alissa Ora
Everyone I've seen come in here for the interview for the past week have been nothing but rude and not dressed smartly and even hours late! You didn't regardless.
Elaya Jones
You just lifted my spirits now
Alissa Ora
Well, be confident!
Elaya Jones
Thank you very much
She got up, left her desk and came to give me a hug
Alissa Ora
Have a good day!
I left the building, went into my car and closed its door.
Elaya Jones
What a long day...
Episode 2
A few weeks after the interview
I was sat on the sofa trying to contemplate if I was going to get that job or not
Trust me, I felt helpless and like absolute sh*t
Samantha Jones
Ela, you will get the job
Samantha Jones
I'm sure of it
Elaya Jones
How do you know that?
Samantha Jones
First, look at the degrees and qualifications you've got.
Samantha Jones
Then, you are like the best sister in the world and the smartest as well.
Samantha Jones
Lastly, you are too pretty to get rejected, and you know you have a sexy British accent.
Sam always knew how to make me feel better about myself. Ever since we moved away from Britain due to our parents' passing, it felt nice having each other and being with each other. I very much love her...
Elaya Jones
I mean, I don't know if I'll get called back
Then my phone began to ring
I showed my phone to my sister
Samantha Jones
Answer it right now!
Elaya Jones
Okay, okay... Calm down
I then answered the phone
Elaya Jones
Yes? Who is this please?
Antonio Moretti
It's Moretti
Antonio Moretti
I wanted to call you myself
Antonio Moretti
Your placement begins tomorrow
Elaya Jones
Wait... really?
Antonio Moretti
You've been given the position of my personal secretary
Antonio Moretti
You'll work from Mondays to Fridays
Antonio Moretti
Your shift starts at 10am and ends at 1am.
Elaya Jones
I'm aware of that
Antonio Moretti
Just a quick heads up, always wear office wear.
Antonio Moretti
And I'm sure you've met the receptionist?
Elaya Jones
Yes, of course. Alissa?
Antonio Moretti
Yes. She'll direct you to your personal office, which is next to mine
Antonio Moretti
She will also give you your staff pass to access the building
Antonio Moretti
Is that okay?
Elaya Jones
Oh yes sir, definitely
Antonio Moretti
Okay, I'll leave you to it
Elaya Jones
Thanks again, sir
Antonio Moretti
Of course. Can't wait to see you again tomorrow
Elaya Jones
I GOT THE JOB!
Samantha Jones
OH MY GOODNESS! REALLY?
Elaya Jones
I AM VERY MUCH RELIEVED!
Samantha Jones
WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?!
Elaya Jones
I'M NOT SURE, BUT I KNOW I GOT THE JOB!
Samantha Jones
How about we have some KFC to celebrate?
Elaya Jones
Hold up, big back...
Elaya Jones
I'm 100% sure I bought you Chipotle, Canes and In-and-Out the other day... And they've not been finished yet!
Elaya Jones
They are still in the fridge
Samantha Jones
Ugh, whatever...
Elaya Jones
That's exactly what I thought
Elaya Jones
Anyways, I'm going to the supermarket
Elaya Jones
So you don't get hungry and for you not to order pizza when you invite your friends over
Samantha Jones
Ugh, whatever...
I went into my room to quickly put something good on, I put my hair up and took my car keys
Elaya Jones
I'll be back soon
Samantha Jones
Okay, see ya
I left the apartment and decided to walk to the supermarket
It was just 5 minutes away by walking
Then I encountered with someone
Elaya Jones
Oh my, Alissa!
Alissa Ora
I didn't know you lived here
Alissa Ora
That's so weird
Elaya Jones
Where are you going?
Alissa Ora
Let's walk together
As we were walking, we began to talk and get to know eachother
Elaya Jones
By the way, guess what?
Elaya Jones
I got the job!
Alissa Ora
Oh my gosh, I'm so happy for you! Congratulations
Elaya Jones
Man, I felt like sh*t when I thought I wasn't going to get it
Alissa Ora
Happens to the best of us, El
We began to laugh about it
We went in, we got a few of our things and then got out. We spent a lot of time talking, to be fair.
Elaya Jones
Want to exchange numbers?
Alissa Ora
You are starting tomorrow, right?
Then we exchanged our numbers
Alissa Ora
I'll be leaving the house at 9.30 tomorrow
Elaya Jones
I was going to say the same
Elaya Jones
Because it is 15 minutes away, so...
Elaya Jones
Need to get to my sister now
Then I went back home walking with my fat shopping
Samantha Jones
Took you long enough...
Elaya Jones
That's a bit rude
Elaya Jones
You're not even the one who gets the shopping to feed your big back!
Elaya Jones
Shush and help me over here, missy
Sam got up and helped me get the groceries to put them on the kitchen counter
Elaya Jones
While you're at it, put whatever it is that is meant to go into the fridge
Samantha Jones
I'm too young for this!
Elaya Jones
Who pays the bills around here?
I began to laugh as I dropped my keys on the table, sat on the sofa watching her show and ate her crisps
Samantha Jones
Those are mine, hey!
Elaya Jones
Get back to work...
Elaya Jones
"I'm too young for this!"
I said as I mocked her, then we both began to laugh
Elaya Jones
Let me help there
Samantha Jones
As you should
Hours passed by, and I started to get ready for bed, I cleaned the house up a little, changed into my pajamas and went straight into bed
Elaya Jones
First day of the job, I guess...
