When worlds collide
"It was raining cats and dogs, the kind of downpour that made you want to stay in bed with a warm cup of coffee. But Kiara had a job interview to get to, and she wasn't about to let a little rain dampen her spirits. She grabbed her umbrella, took a deep breath, and stepped out into the stormy morning. She didn't exactly have some formal clothing but she tried her best to look good. She was wearing a not so long skirt with mini heels a black jacket and white shirt. She tired her long black hair trying to look formal.
Kiara's POV
Hi I'm Kiara Smith. I studied so hard to become an accountant and when i saw online that a very big business was in need of an accountant I immediately applied and fillied in my CV and now i have an interview. Last time I was there to file in my CV it was just me and some other girl. Anyways i arrived at "The blod and braves" company to get that Job.
Me:Hi I'm Kiara Smith here for an interview.
Receptionist: Kiara...(Busying typing) Ohh Kiara you are a hour early didn't you see the time.
Me:I did i just wanted to be early.
Receptionist: Showing up early I see i know that old trick Kiara. Have a seat and wait until my fellow colleagues arrive.
Me:Thank you. (I sat down)
How rude of her to think I only arrived early just to get this Job. As i was sitting and busying texting my besties I smelled a very nice perfume of a man it smells expensive and very nice. I looked up to see a very handsome man enter the door way with some bodyguards besides him. I immediately felt my legs go weak. "Okay Kiara get your sh*t acting together" I said to myself. I immediately switch off my phone and sat there just staring at the shinny floors. As I was eavesdropping on their conversation with the rude receptionist.
The man: Wendy what's my schedule? "Ohh so the rude receptionist's name is Wendy"
Wendy:Mr brownstone today you have two interviews with the accountants at 9:am and after that a meeting at 11am with the board. Then your lunch break after that The investment crew is coming to see you. "Mr brownstone I know that name"
The man: That's all?
Wendy: Yes sir.
The man:Who is this??
Wendy: One of the accountant.
The man: Didn't you say I'll interview her at 9am
Wendy: Yes sir you will ,she just arrived early. You know the old trick.
The Man: I see. (I hear footsteps come my way as the perfume gets stronger and I somehow get jumpy but I try to act normal)
The man: Young lady!
I look up to this tall handsome man i suddenly lose all my words. "What the why can't I say anything" i say to myself.
The man: Follow me.
He said in a commanding tone and some how some how I liked it.
I quickly got up and followed the man.
The man: Have a seat here while I get my office ready. (I Nod)
He went to his office and I sat down on of the chairs. I couldn't help but look him up on the Instagram. I searched and I finally found him. I went through his photos and reels he had posted. I find myself drooling over his photos this guy is hot I tell you. Suddenly as i was looking he opened the door and said "Come inside"
I got jumpy again and I quickly switched off my phone and got in his office. The office smelled like him and all black yeah this was a man's office.
The man:Have a seat.(I seat down)
The man: I'm Mr Brownstone the CEO of my father's company.
Me: I'm Kiara Smith an accountant seeking for job.(Why'd I say that off course I'm looking for a job that's why I'm here)
Mr brownstone: I know you are looking for a Job Mrs Smith.
Me:(I stretched my head) Sorry.
Mr brownstone:(Smiles) Relax Mrs Smith let's get this started. "That smile ohhh my God"
Mr brownstone: So tell me about yourself what kind of a person are you and don't lie Mrs Smith.
Me:(I took a deep breath) I'm a person with who gets the job done, I'm smart and friendly, I look at situations at another person's different perspective.
Mr brownstone:Not you at work you naturally. Like are you an alcoholic? Are you a sleepy head? Stay at home person?
Me: I'm not an alcoholic and yes I'm a stay at home person and I'm not a sleepy head I prefer reading books or dancing other than sleeping or just have a mini picnic at home all by myself I can entertain myself very well. I'm mostly alone but not lonely. I love dancing and join the lastest TikTok trends I'm an influence but that's not my career just something to keep myself busy.
Mr brownstone:You sound like a person who social media person.
Me:A little yes.
Mr brownstone:Hmm I see. Everything i wanted to know is in your letter and i did read it I find quite interesting than the other letter of some girl. Showing up to work early is one of the great qualities don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I see you are really interested in this Job offer and you do have the skills. I don't see any reason why i must not give you the work. You have studied very hard ,now that you have the skills and license of being an accountant. You are not an accountant until you get a Job you just have the knowledge and license. So I'll call you later today to tell you if you got the job or not. I still need to interview the other one.
Me:(I really felt inspired) Thank you.
Mr Brownstone: Okay that is all Mr Smith. And thanks for arriving early you gave me plenty of time to prepare for my speech tomorrow.
Me:My pleasure Sir. (I stood up)
Mr brownstone:Have a lovely day Mrs Smith.
Me:(As i open the door) You too Mr brownstone.
I left that room having hope that i will get the Job and guy Ohhh my God he is very nice I tell you. And he doesn't look old like in the 30s or 40s. I went out and it was still raining. I went home and I found my friend at my place (she has the key)
Me:Hey sweetie.
Winnie: Friend I have bad news.
Me:(I take a towel) What is it?
Winnie:Me and Slash broke up!
Me: Why?
Winnie: apparently he had an affair with the coffee lady remember the one from that day?
Me:Ohh yeah that mean one with the cheap hairstyle.
Winnie: Thats the one. Can you believe it?
Me: How'd you find out?
Winnie:I went to Slash's place to surprise him with that KFC and I caught them.
Me: Ohh my God!What?
Winnie: Yes. I know right. I need a drink. Let's go to the bar. Ohh shoot you don't do bar's.
Me:Call Lionel and go with him he is always in the mood.
Winnie: That's great friend I'll go to his place right now.
Me: Okay Bye.
Winnie:You can have the KFC I don't want it. Bye.(She left)
It's good thing now i don't have to Cook. Let me warm it up and wait for the call.
It's 7:pm now nothing I've been waiting all day. I decided to clean I know it's not dirty but a little clean up couldn't hurt. As I'm busy clean I hear a knock. "Odd i wasn't expecting anyone" I open the door to see the handsome Man again but what's he doing here he said he will call.
Mr brownstone:May i come in?
Me:(I come back to live) Ohh how rude of me come in.(he Gets in and i close the door) Have a seat sir. Can i get you anything to drink?
Mr brownstone: I'd like some juice please.
Me: Okay just a sec. (I go to the kitchen it's not a big place just my tiny apartment. I pour him some orange juice in a glass and give to him)
Mr brownstone: Every house hold has orange is it a trend?

I waited for a few minutes for him to be totally gone. And i screamed and jumped up and down. Not only i was happy for the Job the nigga called me Kiara. Ohh my God. I made sure to get a good night sleep because tomorrow I'll be shopping.
The following Day.
I woke up very early and made my bed. I took a long bath and I tried wearing casual but a little formal too. I just don't have formal clothes. I wore a long tight dress that held my body tight and a blazer to match the black dress. And i tied my hair in a neat bun. I wore mini heels cause that's all i got. I just buy sneakers where am i going with heels i only have one pair. I brought them for a funeral imagine. It wasn't raining great. I went to work (yes work I officially work there) I got there around 9:50. I went to the rude receptionist Wendy.

Soon after I got myself a hairstyle for tomorrow that was Chloe's Idea. And went to eat and I went home soon after wards to try out my new expensive clothes and get a good night sleep for tomorrow.
