Episode 1

“Mum, I will be late for my interview. be quick please.” I was in hurry as I did not want to miss this opportunity, if I grab.. it will be a life changing moment and with that I can support my family as well as brother’s tuitions.

“Jane, why can't you wake up early when you know you have got something important to do.” Steven burst because I disturb his sleep.

“Honey, just a minute please I’ll be done”. Mom showed up and disappeared again into her room.

“Gosh! I have no idea how long to wait. I don’t know how to reach there on time” I waited for five minutes and my mother finally showed up.

Jane Mills is a simple girl, not bad in her looks. She is fair but does not care about her look or wear any make-up. She lives her life to the fullest and makes everything and everyday special, with her positive attitude towards life. She is lazy when it comes to dressing up or trying to look pretty unlike other girls.

“Honey, I will drop you at the near by metro. I have a meeting with Stella’s mom, she wants to meet me urgently and tell about something really important.”

Stella is my childhood friend and her mum and my mum are also best friends.

“Ok mom, so shall we leave” they left for their work, Philomin dropped her daughter and rushed for her work.

Jane took the very next metro and was rushing towards her interview. As she arrived, she bumped into a silly stranger, which made her to loose her temper. That Stranger was walking carelessly, as if he owns the whole place.

“Hello, are you blind, can’t you just see and walk. I am already late and you causing trouble here.” She went on complaining as she was busy picking up her file and phone, which fell on the ground when they bumped into each other.

And that stranger kept on staring at Jane without a blink of eyes.

As I saw him staring, I lost my temper and started shouting. It seems that he did not care.. what I said but kept looking at my face.

"Oh.. Damn, hey you.. can't you hear.. are you deaf."

Whats wrong with this man, is he some psycho. Oh, I cannot waste my time on him anymore, better I rush for my interview.

This made Jane think that he must be some psycho, and it will be waste of time, if she continue shouting.

So she left in a hurry for her interview.

“Excuse me! Am here for an interview”. She told at the reception counter.

“Am really sorry to tell you that you are late ma’am, and sir left from office just now”. Said the receptionist.

“Please try and understand, I really need to give this interview, is there any way I can make it”. I pleaded but did not get any response. Just then, right behind me, stood a tall- handsome man, in his thirty.

“Miss! Are you here for an interview?” he spoke in a very melodious voice which bought butterflies in my stomach.

I just stared at that man like a hungry dog, who starts salivating when he sees a bone. Completely numb, I could not utter a single word.

He was so handsome that any girl would not think twice before jumping in his bed. He had not so fair complexion but his charm could melt the heart, if he just smiled once. He was tall and so handsome that it would be impossible to stop looking at him.

He spoke again in little louder voice, which bought me back from dreaming and this time I could reply with a broken words.

“Yes! Yes.. yes.. am here for an interview. Is there anyway I can make it. Please help me, I really need this job”. Somehow I managed to speak.

“Then follow me”. He just ordered.

I started to follow him and we went directly into a huge, shit! Huge won’t describe the look of that room. It was a luxurious one. Perfectly set, with desk in between just behind there was a big glass window, from where you could see the whole city.

“So, you are Jane mills?” he asked with a slight smile.

“y-yesss, yes its me.” I replied with little nervousness.

“hmm! Why do you need this job so badly, would you mind explaining?” He questioned with a blank look.

I knew I could not make it but still I gathered all my efforts and tried being confident.

“Because I need it, and I know am capable for this post” was the only reply I managed with confident.

“What if I say, you are wrong. And you don’t deserve this job because you were late on the very first day” was his reply with little attitude.

Just after saying these words, he started to look directly towards me and I started to feel uncomfortable. It seemed he was doing it on purpose.

Just then I realise how important is this job to me and I had no other option but to open up and speak, telling him how important is this job to me and why I need this job badly.

He kept listening very carefully and at the end he just gave a smile which melt my heart.

“well you win! and you got the job”. Was only thing he said.

I was so happy did not know what to do, and I just bowed in front of him and said, “thank you so much for helping me out”.

As I was leaving from his office, I turned back once again to say thank you, just then I caught him staring at me.

I could not say thank you, but ended up giving a smile. All the way back to home, I kept thinking about my day and felt really lucky. Though so many bad things happen but at the end everything was fine.

Everybody at home where as happy as I was. We had a small celebration just me, dad, mom and Steven.

Next day was the biggest day of my life. As usual I woke up in a hurry, got ready not in any of my best outfits. But with something which I felt was ok for work.

As I reached office, I was led by an employee towards my desk, where I was going to work for the rest of my journey in this company.

“Hello miss Jane”. Came a voice from behind.

And there he was, My boss Robert Gerry, who runs a very well known fashion designing firm.

“Hello sir” I replied in a confusion. As I was above to get up from my chair to greet him, he signalled to sit.

“ I am here to just visit you”, came a soft reply.

“So Jane how about lunch today? Are you occupied.” He asked very gently I could not resist.

“No not at all.” I was little shy this time.

“So shall we go out for a lunch, there is a nice restaurant near by.” He asked.

“Yeah.. sure sir.” I replied with little confusion.

Deep down in my heart I felt something was wrong. Why will a boss treat his employee so nicely, why is he making me feel so special. As I was busy gathering my thoughts. He spoke again.

“ I hope you don’t mind. Its just a business lunch as you are new to our company, I want you to feel free.” He said in one go without a pause, as if he had prepared these sentences before.

“No not at all sir, I am glad to be a part of this company.” I replied.
