His Little FLOWER

Chapter 1: 1| ROSE BROOKLYN

ROSE POV:

I have been on the deep end of job hunting for the past two hours.

What to choose?.... I certainly do not want a repeat of the past.

The previous company's CEO was disgusting. A shiver ran down my spine at the thought of his eyes

moving over me. It resembled the look of a predator waiting to devour its prey.

Disgusting...

A notification from my laptop snapped me out of my thoughts.

“KNIGHT'S CORPORATION

JOB VACANCY: Personal secretary to CEO, Mr…”

A knock on the door changed my focus as I met with the sight of granny standing near the door.

“Oh Granny, you don't have to knock. Come in”, I insisted as she sat beside me.

“Here, drink some juice and continue your hunt.”, she said playfully, eliciting a laugh from me before

she continued, “Look sweety, there's no rush. Ok? Take your time.”

I gave her a short nod once she left the room, I looked over the notification. The post was put up a few

minutes back and the interview is set up tomorrow.

What company does that?! If it is tomorrow...Oh my God! I better start preparing!

.

AT NIGHT:

Right now, the night-lamp is my sole companion...

I can't sleep with the idea of tomorrow's interview clouding my mind. Knight's Corporation is not only

the top company but also shares close connections with various high-level corporations around the

world.

Hearing from my friends and Kai that the CEO is bi-polar & short-tempered did not help soothe my

troubled thoughts. But I can't judge him without knowing him.

I hope I won't be the victim of his anger. Me, being a fresher does not help my case. I don't want a

repeat of my last interview. Besides, it's high time I get a job.

I can't let my grandpa do all the work anymore. My grandparents raised me as their own after I lost my

parents. I never felt the loss since I see my parents in them.

Coming back to the interview, let's hope for the best!

THE NEXT DAY:

“Sweety Breakfast is ready”, grandma called out to me.

“Five minutes, Granny”, I replied, checking myself in front of the mirror.

Okay.

An Appropriate outfit, I guess...

I made my way to the dining table. “Do I look good?”, I asked them.

“Oh honey, you always look beautiful.”, my grandpa replied making me smile instantly.

“Don't be so tense, sweety.”, grandma let out a chuckle.

Do I look that tense?...

“Really, Rose? Can you handle applying the sugar on your bread?”, grandpa asked right in time for me

to spill some sugar.

I'm going crazy I guess...

Oh, God! A great embarrassment to start a day. I laughed nervously looking at them.

“Try and give your best. That is all that matters. Okay? If you won't get the job, who will?”, my grandpa

asked, trying to cheer me up.

“Then, another will.”, grandma's words made us burst out in laughter.

.

I took a cab, ready to face the day. Correction, an interview.

Rose Grandparents

(Josh and Maria) 3rd Person POV:

“She resembles Ella in every way.”, Josh said lost in the thoughts of his daughter.

“Yeah. She does.”, Maria added with a sad smile.

“Soon, she'll have a boyfriend. I expected her to get one in college, but she didn't. Maybe she'll get one

in her workplace.”, Maria exclaimed in excitement.

“No! She is our little girl, She is so not-”, Josh started.

“Come on, grow up! Remember how we first met?”, she asked as she cleaned the kitchen.

“You're right. Josh muttered under his breath.

Time flew away so quickly...

ROSE POV:

I looked at my phone to see Kai calling me. He is currently enjoying his vacation with his boyfriend.

“Hey, cutie”, I teased him.“Stop calling me that!”, he said annoyed.“Okay, sorry.”, I apologized.

“Anyways, you have an interview today. Right?”, he asked.“Yeah”, I said with a sigh.

“Don't worry. You'll definitely get it, but please be careful with that bipolar-”, he started. I cut him off, “I

will. Stop saying that he's bipolar. We don't know him.”

“Someone seems to care a lot…”, he teased. The nerve of that guy!

“How's the vacation with your boyfriend?”, I asked him curiously.

“Oh, shorty. I'm not in a relationship. Just checking if it'll work out between us.”, he replied in an irritated

tone.

“So, does it work?”, I prodded.

“I have no idea, but I've got to go, shorty. All the best!”, he said.“Okay. Bye.”, I replied and hung up.

AFTER 1 HOUR...

Ugh! Finally!

I reached the building after moving through heavy traffic.

Woah! This is huge!

I looked up the building in astonishment.

Getting a job here is… I shook my head to clear my thoughts.

“You can do this, Rose!”, I cheered myself before making my way to the front desk. I queried the

receptionist about the interview place.

“Top floor”, the woman directed. Thanking her, I took the elevator.

A three-way?! Which way now?

“Excuse me. May I know the location of the interview? ”, I asked politely. She looked up annoyed and

replied, “Middle corridor”.

Oops... It seems like she's in a bad mood.

I thanked her, making my way forward. I reached my destination after an eternity.

Seriously. The place is huge! Even here, I could see two receptionists...

I looked around to see all the girls fixing their already inappropriate outfits to be more revealing. It is

going to turn into a swimsuit if they continue to ‘fix’ it. Not to forget the red lipstick! Men were fixing

themselves too. Weird.

“Our boss is mean. He didn't even let me say my name yesterday!”, one of the receptionists said.

“True! He is a monster. He flipped the whole table in anger and made us clean it up.”, another added. I

gulped in fear.

Whole table?! Oh, God!

I shook my head. I do not want to hear anything. I turned my head to face a girl looking at me like I just

came from outer space. I'm not the one wearing a bikini as my outfit. She huffed at me annoyingly and

drank the water.

“GET THE FUCK OUT!”, a monstrous voice boomed out from the cabin making the whole floor shake

in fear and the girl choke up, spilling water all over her ‘dress’.

I heard ear-piercing laughter from the two receptionists saying, “I hope he's alive.”

Rose, you are in a freaking death trap...

A man came running out of the room like he saw a monster.

Oh my God! I want to go home now…

“NEXT”, the deathly voice called out generating fear in the air nearly made my eardrum vibrate. He's

pissed.

I'm going to die from a heart attack right here. Oh, God! Please get me out of here alive. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

I was not the only one praying for my life, everyone who came like me for an interview looks terrified

now. I heard the cabin door open. A girl went in and not a minute passed before she was out with tears

spilling down her face.

A few minutes later, the girl sitting opposite me made her way inside the cabin. She had not even

entered completely before I heard, “OUT!” She fled.

OMG...OMG…

1-HOUR LATER:

I observed the repeated scene of a person entering and coming out the next second with a pale face

and I'm next.

“FUCKING NEXT”, the voice called out sounding more pissed than earlier. He seems ready to kill

someone and I'm going to be that someone. I stood up and started to move towards the cabin.

To make it worse I heard the two receptionists from earlier whispering, “$300 if she comes out with a

bloody face.” and the other replied, “$600 if she comes out with a broken limb.” before laughing like

idiots.

I shook my head to get rid of the negativity. You can do this, Rose. It's simple. Be you.

Opening the door, I saw a giant man in an impeccable black suit looking out the window. He looked

brawny. I have never felt Kai calling me a ‘shorty’ more real.

I couldn't see his face considering his back faced me.

Maybe he's tired… Should I call him? At that moment, I realized one thing, I am one hell of the

dumbest girl in this Universe.

Oh, My berries! I don't know his name!

What am I going to do now? I'm an idiot! Who comes to an interview without knowing the CEO's

name?! Granny interrupted me before I could see his name yesterday. Ok! Ok! Now don't panic. You

can do it. Come on, girl!

“Sir?”, I called. He couldn't hear me considering I whispered under my breath.

“Sir?”, I called him louder than before.

As he turned, I was met with the sight of …
