Ch 4- Job Hunt

CYNTHIA'S POV

I woke up early in the morning so that I would have extra time to find a job. I wore something casual which Aunt Rose had packed for me.

After getting ready for the day I headed first to the bakery. I have always loved cooking especially baking, so I thought I could feed my poor little tummy and even ask if they were hiring any new employees.

The bakery looked quite old but it was stylish and attractive too. I went inside and asked for a chocolate croissant and a cup of coffee. Well now don't get me wrong I hate coffee , but I just thought if I want to survive this hectic day I should take something strong . After finishing my breakfast I asked one of the workers to show me to the manager of the bakery. He took me towards a cabin on which it was written Mr.Mateo Haltz.

Hmmm , this might be interesting. I thought to myself.

The co worker whose name I learnt is Ryan knocked on the door and a gruff voice responded 'come in' , when I entered the room I saw a man maybe in his late 50s sitting on a brown leather chair. The office wasn't too stylish but it was comfy, it felt like a personal room which was designed to spent time with ones self all alone.

"Sir this young lady was asking for you" Ryan politely informed mister Haltz.

"Very well you may leave now, I will take it from here" Mr.Haltz replied without looking up from the files he was checking.

I awkwardly cleared my throat and started the conversation, "Hello sir my name is Amber Smith and I just wanted to ask whether you were hiring new staff or not" it's not safe to tell my real name just now , so I have to use a fake one.

"Well we don't need any more servers or cleaners, if apart from that you can do anything else I might think about hiring you"

" Sir, I am pretty good at baking and making drinks , if you want I can give you a demo of my baking skills and recipes." I was desperately hoping that he would give me chance because I don't think I would survive in any other job which is not related to cooking.

"Hmm, very well you can start from tomorrow onwards"

"sorry sir , I just heard that you gave me the job?" I think I have officially become deaf due to all the stress.

"Yes , I have miss.smith , you will be making our customers their fresh meals from tomorrow onwards."

"Thank you so much sir, I will make sure not to disappoint you."

"I hope you keep your word, be here at sharp 9 am, you may leave now."

Once I was outside the bakery I was squealing in joy , my mind was doing a happy dance inside.

After accomplishing my first task I moved onto the second one which was shopping. Ahh!! I hate shopping its such a tiring work , when mom was back there she knew my sizes, my likes and dislikes and everything that suites on me. She used to go with aunt Rose and buy my closet in a single day. I remember once she broke all the records of shopping and bought so much stuff that it took more than 3 whole large closets to fit everything. My eyes started tearing up just by remembering how much fun we all used to have .

Why did life have to be so cruel? Why was I the one who lost everything , when the fault and bad intentions were of someone else?

I was so busy cursing my like and destiny that I didn't realize when I crashed into a wall. Wow now idiots built walls on footpaths just great, as I was going to fall two large arms wrapped around me and held me in place wow I have officially lost it since when did walls start having hands. I raised my head which was lowered since so long that I could feel my neck paining. But boy I wish I had raised it earlier to view the sight in front of me.

I felt like I was looking at a god in reality, he had deep emerald eyes , in which I could swim forever without complaining, his hairs were mixed with both blonde and black and it looked perfect. He was a definition of a person sculpted by the sculptor.

Yup this would have been my thoughts if I would have seen him any other time and in any other situation but right now I was irritated I mumbled a soft and quite sorry which I have no idea whether he heard or not and without waiting for him to speak I released myself from his grasp and continued going on my way which I was not sure about because I didn't know where I was going. Did you get what I mean? Well never mind forget it, I am way too confused to explain anything.

I made it safely to the hotel where I was staying and went towards my room. Mom always said that a warm cozy bath after a tiring day is the best thing in the world. So I made myself a bath and tried to relax my mind, at least I got a job which I was happy for.

I launched myself on the bed and snuggled under the covers , as I closed my eyes the first thing that came to my mind was a pair of emerald eyes and then I was pulled into a deep slumber.
