Just a one night stand

(Pregnant for the unknown )

Chapter two.

Emery Tyson.

I sat down among six other applicants who are anxiously waiting to be called in.

A beautifully dressed lady came into the waiting area after few minutes to address us.

"You are welcome to J. K. T Int'l, ladies and gentlemen. Emery Tyson?"

"Yes, ma'am?" I stood immediately with a faux smile.

I was told that smiles brightens hearts and minds.

I hope mine works on this lady so I would get the opportunity to be an employee here.

"This way, please" she led me into a massive office.

An administrator in charge of the interview sat around a big table and faced me when I came in.

"Good luck, Emery," The lady returned my smile and left.

Seems my smile worked on her, I will try it on this lady too but the big problem is that she doesn't want to look up at me.

"Good morning, ma'am" I greeted as I settled down on a chair meant for guests and waited patiently for her to speak.

"Emery Tyson, I guess?" She went straight to the point.

"Yes, ma'am" I replied taking quick breaths.

She asked series of questions, I was able to answer some carefully not to implicate myself.

My stomach churned, she didn't even reply my greeting. How does one hope to get a job from such a person?

"After reviewing your CV and cross checking your provided credentials, I don't need more information about you so you can be worthy of the job"

She opened a file in front of her and didn't look up all the while as she talked to me.

"Sorry, I don't think I understand..." My voice trailed off uneasily.

"You don't have much experience but I can tell you will do a good job, congratulations, Emery" She smiled at me and extended a hand.

I hesitated to shook her hand because I don't know if that's also a part of the interview or she is being serious.

"I said you have got a job, Emery. Congratulations to you" she smiled more widely and I took her hand quickly.

"Thank you! God bless you, I am really grateful for your kindness!" I almost went down on my knees when she told me not to.

"You don't have to thank me, just count yourself lucky because the CEO reviewed your details himself and signed you in, welcome" she said.

"The CEO? Well, thanks still, you are just kind and I appreciate" I said grateful for her satisfactory words.

I guess my first impression of her was wrong, a book shouldn't really be judged by it's cover, she's doing a great job.

Maybe am being enthusiastic and praising her way too much because I got the job, what if I hadn't?

All credit goes to Cindy, what could I have done without her, she's a friend in indeed and I owe her a lot.

"You are welcome. Submit a resume and get ready to start work tomorrow and now if you are okay with it" she emphasised.

"Okay, ma'am. I will start tomorrow, I need to get some stuffs ready and I promise not to disappoint you" I said.

"Okay. By the way, it's Paula Montana" she introduced herself.

Wow! She's getting formal with me already? I can't wait to tell Cindy! This looks more like an acceptance and not just any interview at all.

Who could the wonderful CEO be? I can't wait to see him and thank him for choosing me as his assistant.

"Okay, then" I left the company in vibrant spirit and felt on top of the world for the first time since I had my cupcakes.

******************

"Mummy! See, it's a rollercoaster!!" Alexander said excited to be around other kids in the amusement park.

"I see it, Cupcake! Go play with your sister and be careful not to get hurt" I sent him off to have some privacy with my best friend.

"So, tell me about the interview, friend" She wanted to know what went on because of my excitement.

"I thought you didn't want to know. Cindy, haven't you done enough? This is not shopping and you have work to take care of too" I said worriedly.

She promised to take them out to shop for things they will need in school and this is where she ended up bringing them.

"Come off it, Emery and gist me about the interview, those kids deserve the best no matter what," she shrugged.

"Fine! Thanks to you, Emery Tyson has got a...job!" I announced happily.

"I knew it! Aren't you my lucky friend?" Cindy smiled hugging me.

"Cindy, this is all thanks to you, I really don't know what or how to pay you back for your endless love and kindness to me"

"Hey, don't start, what are friends for? If I was the one facing troubles, I trust you will do more for me"

"But it's too much already! Thank you, Cindy" I said appreciatively.

"Don't mention, I'm happy for you, I mean, you are worth it, aren't you?" She smiled fondly.

"My cupcakes are worth good life, I want the best for them"

"Best for them is best for you, so let's go grab lunch and check out stuffs in the shopping mall"

"It's too early for lunch and besides, I don't have money to pay for..."

"Shush! We have lunch now and shopping later, bill is on me, honey pie" She dragged me with her.

"Good gracious! I hope you are not planning to pay their fees because I won't allow that?!" I breathed.

"Of course, yes, I shall..."

"No way! I will pay their tuition fees when I get my first salary in a month's time" I cut her off.

"Let's argue it out later, I will pretend I didn't hear that," she laughed lightly.

"It isn't funny at all" I complained.

"Alex and Cecilia, over here!" She called my kids and ignored my assertion.

"Oh, Mummy! This is so much fun!!" Cecilia jogged happily towards us.

"I see you glowing, cupcakes!" I scooped her up and Cindy took Alexander.
