Hardened Thrill

I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry Michelle. You're fired, you can't even explain how a hundred and fifty bucks got missing. You're lucky I didn't call the cops on you, " My boss said.

With my hurting knees and flooded cheeks, I sought for another chance to prove him wrong. I'd never steal from him, no matter how hard the situation at home could be.

Leave now, or I'll change my mind on not calling the cops on you. He threatened.

I left the cafe with a bunch of load in my mind, my eyes must be likened to that of a frog and I didn't make any attempt to hide that. Getting fired from work only means I'll have nothing to survive with anymore.

My parents barely even remember that they still have a child, all they do is to secretly move any money they see and spend it on alcohol.

On getting home, it was exactly what I thought I'd see; my passed out parents in the living room with the door ajar.

I didn't waste any more time, I grabbed my really old laptop and started job hunting. I sent applications to every company I stumbled upon, some of them were in need of an office messenger, others were clerks.

I was about to close the page when I saw an opening in the biggest enterprise in NYC. It was the position of a janitor, I sent my application and necessary documents without a second thought.

Barely five minutes later, I got an email from Vin enterprise that my application for the job of a janitor has been approved.

This can't be true. I only just applied a few minutes ago, how's this even possible? I muttered to myself, without showing any enthusiasm.

"Maybe it's just one of the spam blogs playing tricks on me." I said again, carefully going through the message then another message entered, this time on my mobile phone.

The dress code for tomorrow is blue and black, be at the headquarters by seven am, we don't condone tardiness. Best regards, Vin enterprise.

That was when the real scream broke out of my throat. I screamed till I noticed that it's night already. I've sorne hours going through job hunting that I didn't even check the time.

I slept off with a smile on my face. Working as a janitor really isn't what I really want, but when it's the biggest enterprise in the whole of New York, with a fat salary, it's manageable.

Good morning, I'm Mic- " I was cut off before I could finish the line.

Michelle. I'll give it to you, you're early. I'll do the necessary procedure later, kindly take the elevator to the eighth floor, you're meant to clean the CEOS office. The girl who's meant to do it resigned yesterday. The head of the department said.

I was given the necessary things for cleaning immediately and I took the elevator, going to my first assignment.

When I got to the floor, I met the personal assistant who told me that the CEO would be here in one hour and I needed to be fast.

I was cleaning the chairs when the door opened. The most handsome man I've ever laid my eyes upon came in, he didn't even spare me a glance though I was sure he saw me.

I couldn't look at him for another second but it was so obvious that it was Vincent. I thought the woman said he wouldn't be in till after two hours.

The room suddenly got hotter even though it was hot when I came in at first. The only thing he did was to set a fix at the cleaning materials in my hand and look away.
