My Alpha's mate, Shivani Sharma [romantic novels to read txt] 📗

people on the airport that I was coming and they wanted me to be completely left alone, so I could get smoothly through security. 

Well, they passed that test, 30 minutes after the plain the touched ground I was in a cab on the way to my hotel which the company reserved for me.

Although I don’t think I will be spending much time there if Oliver knows that I’m in America.

I hear my phone ring, I look at the screen it is Oliver, he better not be tracking me or I will fucking kill him.

With butterflies in my stomach, wait what you barely know the dude, I pick up the phone.

“Hey.”

“Is everything alright there?” Oliver asks worriedly.

“0 well hello Elena nice talking to you today, how was your fl-day, why thanks for asking Oliver it was great,” I say sarcastically, whoops almost blew the surprise there but hey I made it right again.

“Are you okay?” I hear Oliver asks again, I hear that he has to strain himself to not just yell at me, wow what crawled up his ass and died that made him this worried.

“Of course I’m okay why wouldn’t I be?” I ask him

“Well... I just got this weird feeling I can’t explain it.” Oliver answers me.

“Okay... Well, I have to go I’m super tired and I just want to sleep.”

“Okay I will talk to you later, have some rest, goodnight,” he said and kissed me on phone.

“Good night Oliver,” I said and cut off the phone. I’m not really that tired but in America right now it’s about 11 in the evening and I have to be up bright and early in the morning and I want a good night sleep so I look on my best. I hang up on him before he even can say his goodbye to me.

On next day I hear my alarm go off, I put it on snooze and turn around another time in my bed, I don’t want to get up just yet. 5 minutes later my alarm goes off again this time with a lot of effort I get out of bed, I feel like a truck drove over me but I really have to go get going to look my best for the interview.

I look into the mirror and see a tired 21-year-old woman look back to me.

I quickly wash my face but some moisturizer on and begin with my make-up. I have never been somebody who just covers there complete face in make-up, I just put some concealer on my spots and put some mascara on and then I’m ready to rock.

I put on some clothing which I got especially for this occasion a white blouse and grey long skirt with a white jacket. And I’m ready to roll, I have about 45 minutes to get there and I looked it all up.

I’m going to take the subway just like I used to do every day to get to my internship. I can’t wait, I really hope that I will get hired, because well then I’m in I will earn a lot and when I say a lot, I mean a lot. Like everyday designer clothes and Louboutin heels a lot.

Chapter 12

(Elena P.O.V)

I get there 15 minutes too early, which is good I wouldn't want to be late on my job interview. I walk up to the desk and state my name, the receptionist says that I have to go to the highest floor where I will have to report myself to the CEO's secretary.

The elevator ride is long and boring, there are a lot of people there and I got various curious stares. When I finally reach the top floor I see that I'm not the only one interviewed today, there are at least another 10 women sitting on the couches waiting until they are called up I assume. They are all like 25 and they are caked in make-up and wearing super slutty clothes.

I walk up to the receptionist and state my name, again. She looks at me with a genuine smile.

"Ah yeah Miss Dawson, glad you could come, I'm rooting for you." She says while giving me a wink. She says the last part in a whisper. "You can take a seat on one off the couches; your name will be called up later.

"Okay thank you." I was a little bit wielded out to be the part of rooting for me, I have no idea why she said that it's not like it's a competition. And if it would I wouldn't stand a chance against them, I took the liberty of looking up the CEO and he's quite the player, I'm guessing he's going to go for hot and not the brains, even though the civil engineer is going to work on a completely different floor. And don't forget the fact that I still have to finish college.

I walk to the couch and take a  seat near a bimbo who was busy in doing makeup, she looks me up and down then make a disguised face towards me. I just shake my head and ignored her. I saw a business magazine in the magazine self and take one from it and start reading the magazine while waiting for my turn to be interviewed.

I was startled when I heard someone slam the door look one of the bimbos walking out of the door while stomping her foot on the floor and walking out of there while murmuring to herself. I decided to close the magazine and watch them and enjoyed it while it lasts.

Another bimbo comes out of here shouting that the CEO doesn’t know how to recognize a talent person and how he going to regret not recruiting her. I bit my lips to stop from laughing out loud on them. It goes the same way for sometime bimbo coming out crying and cursing the CEO and walking out the office.

Well, I guess he has some talent to know who to recruit and who to not otherwise he wouldn’t be there where he is now. My thoughts were interrupted by the receptionist

"Elena Dawson." I heard somebody say interrupting my thoughts. "Please trough here." The receptionist says.

I walk trough big oak doors into a really big nice office, inside is the Devil that's what I revere to him now since almost every woman got out of that office crying and with smudged lipstick. I look around the office in awe, everything is black white and grey.

"You like it?" I hear the devil says.

"Yeah it's really nicely furnished," I say.

"Thanks, I totally did it myself." He says with humor in his voice. To this, I just shake my head and look down.

"Take a seat." He says while pointing to a big leather chair in front of his desk. I take a seat with gratitude, not wanting to stand anymore.

"I'm Xavier A Mcknight, the CEO of this company. But I'm guessing you already knew that you look like a girl who researches things before she actually steps into an office building."

"Yes, I did sir," I answer him back trying to be as polite as I can.

"Good because you are the only one that did, that really makes you a step ahead of the rest. So you had an internship here about two months ago how did you experience that?” He asks me.

“It was a wonderful experience sir, I get to learn a lot from here,” I said to him.

“Why did you want to do the job in this company? Many companies would like to hear from you and pay more then why this company?”

“I have done my internship here, I am familiar with the company and the people working here, plus it also provided good opportunities to explore the efficiency of the employee, and it has a high growth rate in the company, I said smiling at him.”

“I must say I am impressed Miss Dawson, so would you like to work for us?” he asks me.

"Omg- I mean yes I would very much like that, but what about the other woman I'm aren't they way more qualified" I let the meaning of that hang in the air for a little bit before I continued "And I still have about a year more to go before I'm done with my study.

"I'm sure that they are way less qualified than you are, believe me when I say Miss Heide that for once I don't want a woman for the beauty I need somebody for the brains, and well you kind of got a good body as well. And for the study part, I'm sure that my company can work something out."

"But there are more than enough men that do this job, that can work right now, why hire me?"

"Well we need some balance on the work floor, we definitely need more women in the engineering department, so we can wait we have the time and you are very qualified. So if you would like you to have the job. When you are done with your study we will move you to America and provide you with an apartment if necessary."

"Well first off all I want to say thank you for this opportunity, and second off all I would be honored to get a job like that," I say

"Well then we got a deal, I'll give you the contract to read through and I will show you the door." And together we walk to the door off his office I shake his hand and I feel a jolt of electricity run threw my body and look at his face for his reaction but his face was emotionless so I composed myself and take my hand away from him. He opens the door for me I walk out and he closes it behind me. "Caitlyn tell the rest of the girls they can leave we got the spot filled." The secretary Caitlyn smiles lovingly at me and gives me a thumbs up. I get some death glares from the other job applicants.

Mr. Mcknight walks with me towards the elevator and waves me off, I waved back and see the door get closed and I did a victory dance until I reach the ground floor. I press my finger on my clothes to make myself look presentable and walk out of there, I can’t wait to share this news with Oliver.

"This world can hurt you

It cuts you deep and leaves a scar

Things fall apart,

but nothing breaks like a heart

And nothing breaks
