KAYLA'S POV

　　Beep!Beep!Beep!

　　I groan as I try to turn off the ever-beeping alarm clock.

　　Thud...

　　I sulk as I fall to the hard floor. I stand hurriedly remembering that today is Evans's first day of school and I've got to get him ready for school. I rush to his room to see him still sleeping.

　　"Wake up sleepyhead," I say, as I shake him awake.

　　"Aargh," he says, as he hurriedly jolts out of bed. I chuckle and rush him into the bathroom. I tell him to have a quick bath and I run back to my room to quickly shower.

　　You may be wondering who I am...Hi, I'm Kayla Highlander, I'm 22 years old and I stay in a two-bedroom flat where I stay alone with my little brother after the death of our parents.

　　At that time, I was eighteen with no means of lively hood and a huge amount of bills to pay coupled with taking care of my little brother Evan who was then a year old. Life was tough having to work different jobs to put food on the table and cater to Evan's needs as well as enroll him in a school. If not for Noah and Lilly my two best friends who were there for me when I needed help the most, ever supportive and assisting.

　　Most times I think of mum and dad and how different life would have been if they were still here with us and I break down again wailing my hearts out but I have to be strong if not for my sake then for Evan's.

　　Today I have an interview at the biggest technology corporation for the job of the personal assistant of the CEO.

　　I don't think I'm cut off for the job but my two besties, Lilly and Noah persuaded me, and here I am, preparing myself and Evan before I make both of us late for our first days.

　　I head for the shower after picking out my outfit for the day from my limited and small closet of clothes. So finally I pick a navy blue pencil skirt and a white full-sleeved shirt.

　　As I wait for the water to get to the perfect temperature, I shed myself of my shorts and tank top which I slept in.

　　After 20 minutes of washing my curvy but petite body, I'm done and I grab a towel to rub myself dry before putting on my clothes.

　　I grab my phone to check the time and see I have nearly 45 minutes to get breakfast done, Evan dressed, drive him to school and reach Hawkins Corporation at the right time.

　　I hurry and put on a thin coat of mascara on my upper lashes and a subtle amount of lip gloss on my plump lips because I am not much of a makeup person.

　　Then I rush to Evans's room to see him all dressed and ready so I take him downstairs. I set his hurriedly prepared breakfast of pancakes and strawberry syrup in front of him. I grab a plate for myself.

　　"Kayla are you ready for your interview?" he asked and I smilingly ruffle his hair. "Yes I am and you've got to hurry up if you don't want to be late to school on your first day," I say and he hurries up.

　　Ten minutes later we are both done with our food. He grabs his bag and lunch, while I grab my handbag and purse. At last, we head outside to my old beaten-up car.

　　Fifteen minutes later I park in front of Evan's school.

　　"Be good and make friends, alright?" I tell him, as he hops down from the car and wishes me good luck. I kiss his cheek waving at him as he runs to class.

　　Sigh...

　　Sometimes, I wonder how my life would be if Evan wasn't in it? But I shrug it off. Because I am happy that Evans is in my life, for he made me the independent and stable person I am today. Thinking this, I rush into the car and head for Hawkins Corporation.

　　Minutes later, I park in the underground parking lot of the company but I couldn't help but gawk and admire the huge building which has a huge 'Hawkins Corporation' written boldly on it. I found myself thinking of how many floors the building has and my guess was sixty-seven.

　　Suddenly remembering why I was here, I hurriedly check my watch to see I have less than 8 minutes to spare. I hasten up my steps only to bump into a solid wall.

　　Aaargh.

　　What the...

　　I gasp, as instead of staring at a wall, I was staring at the most magnificent pair of blue eyes I had ever seen.

　　"Are you okay young lady? Don't you know that you have to always look where you are going or did you skip your primary school!" Blue eyes said and I was forced out of my reverie by his unexpected outburst.

　　"Are you seriously going to pin this on me? Instead of blaming me, you should reprimand yourself, as only a fool goes around on his phone and bumps into people and then blame them." I say as I walk out on him. He surely was an arrogant and unruly man.

　　I rush to the receptionist's desk, not wanting to be any later due to my less than pleasant encounter with that rude man.

　　"Please miss, could you help me with the directions to where the interview for the CEO's assistant is being held," I say to the pretty nice-looking brunette sitting at the desk.

　　"Go on to the last floor and head to the hall by your right, you'll see a door, then enter the office and wait for your turn." She tells me and I thanking her, head to the elevator, and press the button for the last floor which is floor number eighty-seven! Woah, this building is enormous.

　　I soon reach my destination and I step out of the elevator and head on to the door the brunette described. Then as I open the door, I see various people seated, awaiting their interview turn. The women dressed in exquisite brands of outfits and men in finely tailored suits. I sit in the farthest corner and I close my eyes, to find myself thinking of my parent's death.

　　It was their anniversary and dad took mum to a fancy restaurant for their anniversary celebration. On their way back, a drunken driver collided with them. My dad died instantly while mum died later in the hospital due to loss of blood.

　　Tap. Tap.Tap.

　　I open my eyes to see a blonde lady taping her pen with her cardboard, to awake me from my harsh memory. Then she tells me that it's time for my interview.

　　I stand and run my hands against my skirt to remove any wrinkles and I open the door to see the side profile of the CEO, answering a phone call. I quickly use the opportunity to access my surroundings.

　　Man! The office is huge. I was jolted out of my thoughts by the sound of a chair turning, only to come face to face with a very familiar set of blue eyes that I saw not a long ago but only to find them smirking at me...

　　I gasp as realization dawns on me.

　　The man with blue eyes is the CEO of Hawkins Corporation!!!

　　I am soooo doomed...
