Jenny’s Game (2)
Jenny’s POV:
But to me she looked nothing but fat and I couldn’t wait to tell her.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
We soon arrived at the extravagant Kings Industries Skyscraper and I alighted out of the car. I strolled elegantly, holding my white bag in my left hands, into the building. As soon as I arrived, I was about to just head straight into the elevator as I knew where exactly I was headed to but the receptionist had to call my attention.
“Good morning Miss. How may I help you?” I rolled my eyes and gazed at her for a second. Simple, basic, hungry looking woman.
“It’s Miss Jenny and I’m here to see the CEO, Nathaniel King.” I responded with an attitude.
“Is he aware of your arriv–”
“His mother, Mrs King, sent me here. So I’d advise and you let me up before I give her a call and you lose your job.” I didn’t wait for her to respond before I flipped my hair and walked away.
I entered the elevator, clicking on the top floor. There were only a few people in the elevator and everyone seemed to be so focused on the documents in front of them. After a long time, I arrived at the top floor, I let out a breath and adjusted my clothing, rubbing my lips together before hopping out of the elevator. Every single thing about this building screamed wealth and the thought of just marrying into such fortune motivated me to do whatever I can to make sure I get this job.
“Good morning, how may I help you?” I was so tired of people stopping me but this time I decided to be rather nice.
“I’m here for the job of assistant of the CEO.” I responded nicely, she gave me an overlook and stretched out her hand.
“Your CV please.”
I made a yikes face as I had totally forgotten about that. I guess I would not be following protocols then.
“Let me see Nathaniel. Mrs King sent me here so…” She kept her gaze on me which was infuriating me by the second.
“He’s in a meeting.” She responded dryly and continued typing away.
“And besides, the interview for the new position hasn’t begun yet and it is true the human resource team, so you can come back another day for this and with your CV this time.” I smiled slyly and flipped my hair about to give a remark when the doors to Nathaniel’s office opened revealing two men dressed in a suit coming out of his office.
Without thinking, I just headed straight into his office ignoring the protest coming from Lisa and I barged into Nathaniel’s office. When I got in, he had a small smile on his face which I hadn’t seen in ages, as he gazed at his laptop. As soon as his eyes met mine, his smile fell and returned to a frown. He rose up to his feet and I was just in a state of astonishment. Nathaniel was a beautiful man, everything about him was attractive, his scent, wealth, looks, figure, body, height, skin, everything and he was going to be mine.
“Sir, I tried to stop her but she just kept walking.” He dismissed Lisa and she stared at me for a split second before shutting the door.
“What are you doing here, Jennifer?” I hated when he said or anyone said my name like that. He took a seat looking at me. I pursed my lips and said, “Nathaniel, I need a job. I’m healthy now, and I’m tired of just staying at the mansion doing nothing.”
He nodded glancing through files, “There should be a job available at marketing as the alliance with the new company requires a committee of marketing. So I can get you something there.”
I was about to refuse but as soon as I heard working with the company for alliance, knowing it was the company Lydia was working at, I got excited.
“So I will be coming with you sometimes to the company?” He stared at me with a blank expression and I pursed my lips knowing he wasn’t answering any other questions.
“Thank you Nathaniel.” I laid my hand on top of his using my thumb to caress him lovingly.
“You’re always looking out for me and I just love you for the depth of my heart, when are you going to see I am the one made for you?” He clenched his jaw, removing his hands from mine.
“If this is what you’re here for, let me know now! Before I get you just the job, because I have told you time and time again I’m not interested in that.” His deep voice bounced through the corners of the room, it was stern and serious. Rather than start an argument, I remained silent and my facial expression was sad and remorseful masking up the anger.
“I apologize. I just tend to let my emotions fly when I’m with you. I will be professional at work, I promise.” I said with my head down, so I couldn’t see his facial expression but I knew he was staring at me.
He made a few calls as I just sat there texting Mrs King that latest update. She approved of the job position and being who I am, I informed her Lisa was still in her position.
“You can begin work on Monday. They will send everything you need.” I smiled small nodding, I stood up hoping he would at least feel bad.
“Thank you.” I said and he nodded. I was about to leave when he called my name, making me smirk.
“Jenny.”
“Yeah.”
“Be punctual and just adhere to the rules laid down by the Chief Marketing Officer.” I nodded and exited out of his office pretty disappointed.
I hoped for an apology or suggesting lunch or dinner but neither one. Nathaniel always liked playing hard to get but I like games and I loved winning.
