THE CEO’S VENDETTA

“with the recent update we will be able to monitor the transaction of up to 15million users, and we are working on making it better”. Daniel said

“That’s enough to update, we can about talk that later”.

For now let’s focus on how to entice my mother, he said as he knocks on the door of the hospital directors’ office

“Mr Alex, can I give you the report on the lady from the morning”. Daniel said

“Oh yeah, you can” Alex responded as though he tried to recollect the conversation whereas he has been thinking about it all day

He couldn’t concentrate on his work as he thought if that wouldn’t be the case, because if Claire would be something today, she will rather be a hotshot with elegant appearance, but this girl looks nothing like that.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He carefully adjust his chair and collected the file from Daniel.

“Her name is Claire Matthews, she went to the same high school with you….” Daniel started but was stopped by Alex

“That’s okay I will go through it later” Alex said

“Everyone is finding it hard to connect with you in the office, and I can’t assume the role of your secretary, I’m your friend but almost becoming your personal assistant..”. Daniel said as he places a file with employees request and information on Alex desk

“I believe you should hire a personal secretary or assistance”. said Daniel affirmatively.

“And who would that be?”. Alex said with curiosity ” you know this is the tech industry and we should be careful of who we bring in”.

“If you are not satisfied with the resume and information before you, you can consider this one”. He said as he placed a single file on Alex’s desk

“She is desperately looking for job to take care of her sick mother” he said as Alex goes through the file.

“We aren’t here for charity, Daniel, she doesn’t deserve my sympathy, and why do you think I will let in someone so inexperienced”. Alex said with a change in his countenance

“Sorry bro, just thought you were interested in her and she is fit for the job, but if you insist, I will keep her file out as intended” Daniel said as he made to take the file from Alex but Alex did not release the file.

“I’ve always done everything to make sure you have whatever you are interested in, if one day one thing you are interested in can take away your sleepless nights and give you peace, I will be glad” Daniel said as he made his way out of the office.

Alex Reynolds has been suffering from insomnia as a result of Claire’s action that day in high school, only Daniel and Alex’s mom (the hospital director) knows about Alex’s insomnia, but they don’t really know the cause.

“If I can find peace, maybe I will employ her, and with or without finding peace I will make her pay for all she did to me” Alex said

“Claire, Claire you have a message”. Grace shouted and from the way she shouts Claire couldn’t tell if it is a bad news or a good one.

Claire rushed out to the sitting room and checked the message..

It was an invitation to an interview at VisionTech.

“I already saw this in the morning as early as 4:00am, I’m not sure this is real, it’s a scam, I never applied to such a company” Claire said as she looked dissappointed

“Hello, I’m Claire Williams, i got a message from your company VisionTech….” Grace said while on phone

“What’s going on” Claire thought

Grace was already speaking with the person whose contact details was inputed on the message to confirm the appointment

After the call ended Grace was just so happy.

“I wonder what’s going on, first, we don’t know how real they are, second note, it’s just an interview, third note, I’m not interested”. Claire said as she intend to make it back to her room

“You will surely go to this interview and you will come back employed, I have a good feeling about this and we are going together” Grace said as she practically jumped into the room and started picking out what to wear

“It’s in less than 2hours, please start getting prepared” Grace said as she packs Claire’s files

Claire muttered few words of prayer and dragged herself to the bathroom, thoroughly brushed her teeth, took her bathe while Grace did the same.

Nothing must be left out today, Grace thought as they both walked up the steps to the imposing glass and steel building,

Claire could feel a wave of excitement and nervousness wash over her.

She had no idea what to expect from the interview with the CEO. She has never worked in such a high-powered environment before.

But she has to take a chance, to make something of her life. She took a deep breath and stepped through the door.

“I will be waiting and rooting for you” said Grace as she watched her go inside

As Claire stepped into the reception area, she was greeted by a polished and professional-looking woman behind the desk.

“Hello, my name is Lydia. May I help you?” Lydia said, her voice cool and crisp.

“I came for an interview” Claire said, trying to sound confident.

“Very well, I’ll let him know you’re here,” Lydia replied, as she picked up the phone.

As Claire waited in the plush waiting area, she couldn’t help but feel a bit intimidated by the grandeur of it all.

“The office is the first by your right” lydia said dropping the phone.

“My boss is a kind of tough man, and very hard to please. Good luck.” she quickly chipped in.

“Alright, thank you ” Claire said as she walked away from the reception.

She adjusted her clothes, rub some oil perfume on my neck and wrist and knocked on the door.

“Come in” said the husky voice from within.

Just then, as she opened the door of the office, she saw a man, head bent scribbling some notes on a paper.

“Please, have a seat,” Mr. Alexander said, gesturing towards the leather chairs in front of his desk. As Claire sat down, she could feel her heart racing.

“Is this Alex? What is he doing here?”
