Chapter 5 - Sian's POV

My phone started to get vibrated..I groaned in irritation before opening my eyes. But my eyes didn't express their willingness to give it a better sight as I slowly drooped to sleep back. The continuation of the viabrating sound disturbed me again for the unknown time.

So in my sleep, I faintly ran my fingers over the night stand to grab my phone....

Finally got it...

Without having a look on the caller ID, I answered the call...

"He...llo...." I said drowsily and surely the person on the other side might have understood the hint of anger or the annoyance in my voice.

"Oh Thank God! I didn't hope that you would answer my call after these two tries of rings.." was the answer from the other side.

Who the hell is this?

"Excuse me! Who are you?" This time my voice riotously deteriorated to anger..

"Aw...! Come on Chloe! Don't just pretend!" That mocking but manly tone didn't go unnoticed by me.

Chloe!

Then the sudden realization hit my mind... It's Reece...

"You....?" I yelled and it almost made me sit up on my bed.... He just giggled at my reaction.

And the clock infront of my bed struck five in the morning... My eyes widened with amusement...

This early morning! He must have gone crazy?

"Why did you call me?" I exclaimed.

"Oh! Then...You got me.. Great!" He chuckled.

Oh! Now he knows how to talk.

"Excuse me! I really don't like this kind of stupidity and stupid calls. Don't annoy me. Just... Just leave me...." I said angrily trying to hang up before he stopped me in my track.

"Listen.... I didn't want to make you annoy. I'm e-extremely sorry.."

Okay. Fine. It was his mistake.

Thank god he understood it.

"Hmm. Never mind..." I was about to hang up but he was at a point of no return....

"You know.. I really enjoyed your programme. You are an incredible violinist. And so is your voice." He giggled. "What made you stop it...? I'm still eagerly waiting for it... Not only me Many fans, I guess.. "

Oh God! Did he want to tell these things in this morning?

"Yeah... many... But no use of waiting for it.. Chloe is never gonna present it... I hope some other presenter will do it..." I said taking no notice of it as I nearly was about to hang up for the unknown time.... I mentally screamed with irritation since my sleep was more important to me right now than a phone call from an unseen person.

"Oh god! Are you crazy? You better do it...." He pleaded to which I happened to hold the call on with annoyance.

At once something stuck in my mind...

"We'll see.. umm.. By the way! Can you please tell me... How did you find my number...?" I just wanted to know how he got my number.

"From your Channel X.." He lightly said.

"What?" I was dumbfounded at his words.

How did they do this?

I asked them not to reveal my identity....

Are they taking revenge from me?

"Well! I think I should hang up now..." I hung up before he could finish his lines off. And I put my phone on the night stand after switching it off.

Why does he call me?

Where's he gonna lead this?

I was too lost in my thoughts when I didn't notice the time I fell asleep again....

*******

"Oh God! You are still asleep.... Wake up sis...." Suddenly, my eyes got wide opened when Mia jumped on me....

"Ohhhh... M..i...a... What are you doing? Go away... Just let me sleep..." I covered myself up with my duvet again... But she removed it to my annoyance. She is always like this... When she gets her leave during weekends she never lets me sleep. Now she is doing these crazy things to wake me up... As her annoyance was increasing my anger, I covered my face with a pillow...

"No more sleep... It's time to wake up... You know what time it is now."

"Yeah...." I murmered in sleep..

"Oh no! Then you might have awoken..." She said dragging the duvet off my body...

"Miaaaa...." I said in a reproving voice.

Now I'm definitely gonna lose my temper...

"Why the hell are you addicted to sleep this much?" Now she dared to take my pillow off my face.

"Wake up babe... It's 8 o'clock. No..More..Sleep...." and murmured to my ears.

"What??" I almost jumped off the bed... I took my phone and looked for the time. Mia was looking confused at my reaction.

"Oh gosh" I had totally forgotten that I did switch my phone off after receiving a call from that bore Reece.... "You should have awoken me Mia... I have to go work today..." I yelled at Mia...

"Hey! That's what I was doing..." She said shrugging her shoulders much to her confusion. I sent Jenny a text message telling I would be late. Then I threw the phone onto my bed.

"Are you gonna work today...? I just thought you would come with me to go library as usually you do on saturdays.... " She said with pretty much disappointment.

"I won't be able to come today hun..." I ran quickly into the bathroom.

"But do take a leave just for today.. Jenny is your friend.. She will let you be at home... Only for today please....." I heard Mia's pleading voice as she shouted behind the door....

"I'm sorry babe... it's not that good.... You can take your friend... Right?"

"Hmm well... Then I'll take Susan." I could imagine her worried look on her face " But next time you have to come.."

"Okay.. Promise.." with that her voice disappeared.

After having a quick wash I got dressed and rushed downtsairs. I finished off my breakfast and hurried to go to work as I was too late.

Bang Bang

But, the sooner I opened the door, I was clashed with something instead of being stepped out....

What the?

"Ughh... My head..." I heard a sound of muttering coming before me.

"Oh! I'm sorry... " I apologized but in the second I recognized this pretty lady who was rubbing the temple where she got banged with mine. "Hey! Jenny! Is it you.? I'm so sorry! I didn't know that you were here.... You could have told me before coming...." I was surprised to see Jenny standing in front of me....

"Yeah.... Never mind...

Sian.... I just came here to meet you..." She said excitedly, shaking my shoulders and then clutching by my wrist she grabbed me inside hurriedly even without leaving me a space to utter a word.

"Hey what's it? Is something wrong? What about the shop?" I exclaimed with amusement. But yet she guided both of us to my room without uttering a mere word..

What the hell is she doing now?

Why can't she reply me?

This much hurry! What is she gonna do?

"Why? I sent you a text message. It's closed today.... " Now, at last she replied.

"Ah... I didn't check my phone. You know I was late... Umm... Sorry.. But why?"

"Oh god.. Just leave it.... Sian you know what I have brought you...." enthusiasm could be seen in her every reaction.

"Hmm... No" I shrugged my shoulders as I could not see anthing in her hand... And she saw my eyes scanning her bottom to up...

"Oh no no.... Oh sh*t! I will explain you later hun.... But before that---" She said in a bit hurry as she pushed us inside my room.

"Sian I will give you 10 minutes. Just get yourself ready with an office wear. Right? Hurry up!!"

"But why?" I was totally confused.

"No more questions. You are losing the time. You have left only 9 more minutes...!!" She yelled shutting the door behind her...

"What the hell are you gonna do Jenny? You are so full of crap..." I shouted.

After scanning my eyes over the wadrobe, scratching the nape of my neck, I grabbed the dress,(which I thought the best) I wore for my last interview at David's Corporation. A white stripped top paired with a dark blue office trouser and a dark blue coat over the top. I tucked my hair into a ponytail. I wore my high heels which were matching my dress well...

"Are you ready?" I was done when Jenny entered in my room...

That's according to her time counting...

"Yeah...." I replied looking at myself in the mirror tucking the hair strands behind my ears...

"Wow! You really are looking gorgeous in this dress...Sian.... But onething is missing..." she said resting her hands on her waist biting on her bottom lip as she did really look for something in my room.

What the hell is with this woman today?

"What??" I asked lifting my one brow up.. Her eyes recklessly ran over my vanity and they eventually captured the make up box which was cornered on the vanity surface, in the first instance.... I was not late to capture the smug smile on her face. Before I could grab it she was quick enough to snatch it away from the vanity.

"Oh no! Jenny don't!! I don't use make up.. you know it right?" I rejected when Jenny tried to apply it.

"Yeah I know... But it's very important today.. Only a bit.." She said starting to apply foundation, my butter lip gloss and eye liner.

"What's the reason for all these sudden things Jen?" I knew she could understand the puzzled look on my face.

"Just wait hun.. I will explain it later on.." but she didn't let it out of her mouth.

Thank god! She didn't make my look go crazy on this make up..

It looks very charm...

Getting a word from Jenny was like trying to strip off the feathers of a turtle... Though I tried hard never did she let anything out of her mouth.. But kept on increasing the curiosity within me while teasing at me... Few minutes later both of us got into her car to be driven off it fast towards New York city side.

"Please Jenny... I am growing too impatient... At least do tell me...just now..Please."

"I think, I really am excited than you.. haha...." She said making fun of me...

"What? You must have gone crazy." I narrowed my brows and crossed my hands over my chest with much annoyance. She was testing more of my patience than I had expected. "Hey Jenny! What's this? Just tell it. I can't bear it anymore. Or else I would jump off the car." I said it just to make her afraid. That would be the best bait I could take the advantage of.

"Oh for god's sake don't you even try to that woman." She shouted... "Okay just relax.... Hm well it's better to tell you right now. Or else I would have a punch on my face.." she giggled. "Well... Can you remember Callum you met yesterday...?"

Callum...!! Why does she talk about him now?

Has he proposed her?  Or is she gonna evade my question?

"Callum... Yeah... Why?

Did he propose you?" I exclaimed in surprise...

Her eyes bulged in their sockets at my unexpected question. "Ohhhh noooo...." Jenny shouted...

"Jennnnn...yyy...." I screamed loudly as a jolt of excitement coursed through my veins as I saw what came before us. Suddenly she braked hard to avoid her car running into the car in front of us. I slightly saw something drop down to the car floor board from Jenny's seat. We only just had a narrow escape of being clashed against the car came towards us.. We held our breaths for a few damn minutes trying to process what was about to happen. We heard the man who was in that car scold us as he passed by us..

Thank god for saving us!

"What the hell did you do? We would have been dead bodies by now if you didn't brake on time to stop the car." I yelled at Jenny. She was taking her breaths so freaking fast.

"Oh no.. I... I w-was dumbs-struck at your words." She made an excuse trying to start the car again.

"Okay.....Just be relaxed! We'll go now.." I just smirked to make her calm down.

"Now you are smiling... Seriously... Are you really smiling? For God's sake you didn't kill me... Thank God..." She shouted with happiness.

Even now I could not stop my laugh. Both of us burst in to a loud laughter....

"Okay... Now we'll start from where we stopped. Right?" I made her remind of the talk which we stopped in the mid-sentence.

"Where did we stop from..? I truly can't remember.." She looked puzzled at me.

Did she attack her head or something...??

"You just started to talk about Callum...." I made her remind.

"Oh yeah... Callum..."

"So..? What about him?"

"Yesterday when I met him at my coffee shop I told him that you were looking for a job... So he asked me to send your CV. And I sent it. I'm sorry I didn't tell you it. Because I thought you would ignore it...." She said continuously trying to focus her attention on driving and then paused for a while to start again. My eyes suddenly caught the thing fell down a few minutes ago and I picked it up..

"And today morning he called me and asked me to inform you, suddenly the PA of their CEO had resigned the job and a new one is needed right now. So he said if you can join the job, you would be interviewed today. That's why I'm taking you now..." I was struck by her words... I could not believe how a friend can do such a big thing towards her friend. The tears started to form in my eyes due to the happiness Jenny put me through...

"Hey are you crying? What the...? Did I jut tell something wrong to cry?" She exclaimed.

"No... no... You are such an incredible and a wond----... I paused as I could not muster any words up. "I have no words to describe you Jenny... Thank you so very much..."

"Why the hell are you always thanking me for everything?" She fumed with indignation. And at the same time she started to look for something.... "Where is it gone? It was there... I remember..." I heard she murmur turning her head here and there.

"Are you looking for this?" I showed the thing I picked up off the car floor board....

"Hey how did you get it..? It was with me right?" She questioned with amazement.

"That's probably must be asked by me... Don't you think so? This is my certificate file.. How did you get it?" A slight smirk took birth on mu lips...

"From your mom... While you were getting dressed...." She told with a wink...

"You are a genius Jenny..." I said shrugging my shoulders.

********

'Sydney the Great Construction Corporation'

Before I entered the office building, I looked up at the giant name which was engraved with big block letters that was standing hundred feet above me for a while and heaved an inaudible sigh...

It clearly hit my past... But I didn't let my mood go out... I shook the thoughts off my head and entered in to be greeted by the guard standing in front of the entrance. He checked me before entering in and according to his guidance I went inside the company..

"Good morning!.... How can I help you?" The girl who was sitting in the reception greeted me with a genuine smile on her face.

"Good morning! I'm Sian Cynthia Anderson. I have been called for an interview today." I said plastering a smile on my face.

"Umm.. Wait a moment please..." she said before scanning her eyes over the computer screen in front of her. "Yeah.. Miss.Anderson, recommended by Mr.Smith. at 10.00 A.M...." she said having the same smile plastered on her lips as to make me relax..

Smith????

Oh yeah right... It's Callum.. Callum Smith...

"Yeah..."

"Please take a seat Miss.Anderson. Right now, Mr.Parker is in an urgent meeting out of the company. He will be coming soon.. So please have a seat.." She ushered me to the seat infront of the entrance hall still with that pleasent smile of hers.

"Thank you...." I thanked her and came to sit on the the couch infront of reception. It's already 9.0' clock. No one was seemed to be around except this girl in the reception...

I think they are very much dedicated to work...

But is there only me for the interview?

I didn't feel any fear or nervousness at the moment.. Because these things were very familiar to me since I had worked for my dad after my graduation....

I was rolling my eyes over the building when I captured a person coming towards me from afar. No seconds passed to recognize who it was.

It's Callum...

"Good morning Miss.Anderson. Glad to meet you again..." He extended his right hand and greeted me.

"Good morning Mr.Smith. Thank you for the favour you did me..." I uplifted myself to my feet before offering my hand, thanking him with a smile.

"Oh never mention it... It's a great pleasure to help my friend's friend. I'm the in charge of all types of vacancies in this company. And don't call me Mr.Smith. Just call me Callum..." said he with a professional but friendly smile on his face...

"Hmm... That's a pleasure..." I agreed.

He looked at his watch for a while. "Well... Sian... Mr.Parker is out of the company at the moment. He will be coming soon... So please be seated. I will send you something to drink..." Saying that he left to his cabin...

I just nodded and sat again to occupy myself with the half way completed staring contest.. I kept on fidgeting my hands as I heard the hands in my wrist watch click making me aware that second by second and minute by minute it has almost hit more than one hour..

The time just flew by little by little... It's now been more than two hours that I have been waiting for this jerk of a boss to be appeared in his office. Still didn't the CEO arrive much to my disappoinment... Meanwhile some uncontinuous glimpses passed between me and the receptionist to contain the oddness in the atmosphere. The times I caught her off guard, she averted her eyes from me to busy herself with her work after showcasing that very good friendly smile of hers. While the time was passing by one time I noticed she was busy with a phone call.

****The Phone Call****

"Good Morning! Sydney the Great Cunstruction Corporation.. How can I help you?"

"Alexandra... Callum's speaking here. Send Miss.Anderson to Mr.Parker's office. I saw him go to his office.. I think he might have come from the back entrance..."

"Sure Mr.Smith.. I will send her."

"Thank you..."

****Hung Up****

I had almost lost the interest on this interview.

He doesn't know how to work on time..

At last I stood up to leave the place when that beautiful girl came towards me;

"Excuse me Miss.Anderson... Sir is at his office... You may go now... He is waiting for you.." she said fluttering her beutifully made-up eye lids which showcased her blue coloured make up just above her eyes.

Did I hear it properly...??

When did he go in front of us?

I didn't see him...

Is he a spiderman or Edward Cullen to walk without being noticed when we are awoken?

Or was I fallen asleep?

"Excuse me Miss... Can you hear me?" I snapped out of the train of my thoughts, when the girl talked to me again. "His office is on the 20th floor. You may use the elevator. By the way Congratulations!" She extended her hand towards me..

"Thank you..... Ms:----" I just paused to let her tell her name.

"Alexandra Carter... Just call me Alex..."

"Thank you Alex...."

After passing a few minutes of growing anxious inside an elevator, I was standing in front of that so called Mr. Parker's office. I inhaled a deep breath before I placed my hand on the knob of the door. I didn't know why I was feeling this much nervousness right now.

I was normal a few minutes ago.

What has happened to me now....??

Hey Sian!! Just be confident..!!

No more fears.

At last I exhaled a deep breath as I tightly held the handle of the door before entering in his cabin.

"Excuse me sir. May I come in?"

I stood there, clasping the door handle.
