..When everyone heard the official worker announcement they were all shocked.“Mateo did not get chosen as an intern?”“I can’t believe it as well. I thought he had an insider in the company as he said.”“Was he lying? No, it can’t be. But I feel like he was the perfect guy among us to get chosen.”“Yeah, to be honest, I was expecting that I wouldn’t get chosen, but I didn’t expect Mateo to not get chosen as well.”Everyone was shocked beyond words by the sudden turn of developments, but there was no one as shocked as Mateo.“What?” Mateo could not help himself from muttering.Meanwhile, Aurora rejoiced with joy as she hugged Landon. Not only did she get chosen to do her Internship in Grey Group, but Landon got chosen as well. She was very glad she won’t be working with someone like Mateo. Working with Landon would make things easier for her every day.However, an enraged voice suddenly caught everyone’s attention.“What is the meaning of this?! The results you called just now are n
..The familiar person in the interview room who had called out to Landon was a female of course.“Clarissa?” Landon replied, recognizing her.Everyone in the interview was piqued with curiosity when they noticed Clarissa and the new intern seemed to know each other.A guy dressed corporately suddenly asked. “Clarissa, do you two know each other?”A sneer suddenly appeared on Clarissa’s face as her gaze was still on Landon. “Yes Mark, I do. I just didn’t expect to see him here. He is my high school buddy.”“Oh wow,” Mike suddenly frowned. “You are not close to him are you?”Clarissa waved her hand casually and replied. “Hell no. I’m just shocked to see him here.”Before Mark could say another word she looked at Landon and questioned. “What are you doing here?”“I’m just here to do my internship,” Landon replied.Clarissa was indeed one of his old-time classmates. She was one of the people who were absent in their last high school reunion so Landon has not met her in so many years now
..“I said I won’t help you download movies. This is an office for goodness sake.” Landon replied.“Are you saying you don’t want to do your job?!” The lady yelled like a menace.However, Landon replied calmly. “I didn’t say I’m not going to do my job, but I don’t see how downloading movies for you is related to the company matters.”“Seems like you want to start parking your stuff out of this company! Mark!” The lady called out.Fortunately, just then a lady that had a desk not too far from Landon got up and apologized. “Miss Elena please don’t be angry. He’s still new year and hasn’t been taught the proper way of the department. He will download the movie. Don’t be angry.”Elena had an angry look in her eyes as she seemed to hesitate on what to do for a minute before she replied. “If I come back and he hasn’t downloaded my movies then he should consider himself fired.”Elena suddenly turned around and left the office space.The lady who had pleaded on Landon’s behalf sighed and the
. . “What?” Mark was shocked when he heard Mr. Davis's harsh remark. “You heard me right. You and your sub-department should find a way to get that deal or you all are fired so for you all sakes I hope you get the deal.” Mr. Davis replied and then walked away as if the matter was not up for debate. Meanwhile, all the people in the office space were left terrified. “Sir Mark, are we really going to lose our job?” “Mr. Davis is just joking right?” “Sir Mark, Mr Davis can’t be serious right?” Mary and the rest of the fellow workers all started questioning Mark out of fright. However, Mark was just as terrified as them. “You all shut up let me think!” Mark did not know when he screamed due to frustration. The shock of the sudden order from Mr. Davis had really gotten him on edge. The reason why Mark was so frightened by Mr. Davis's threat was because he knew very well that Mr. Davis was not joking. When he was still new in the company he witnessed Mr. Davis fire a full sub-depa
..“Landon?” The lady called out.Landon heard his name called by a very family voice and when turned to the direction of the voice, he saw someone that was indeed familiar.“Ashley.” A smile suddenly crept on Landon’s face.“Oh, it is you!” Ashley suddenly rushed and hugged Landon out of joy.Landon hugged her back. “It’s good to see you dear.”“What are you doing here?” Ashley asked as she gave Landon a good look in an ecstatic manner.She was surprised to see Landon dressed corporately as well.“I’m here for my internship,” Landon replied. “And besides this used to be my hometown. The place my foster parents live at.”“Wow!” Ashley covered her mouth with both hands. “Are you saying you would be probably living in Autumnvale for a while?”“Yes, I am here for the rest of my internship.”“That’s great! Me and family live here. This town is my home as well. And I’m here for the rest of the internship myself.” Ashley said with a laughter. One could tell that she was very much excited.
. . “Oh, is that tears I’m seeing on your face?” Ashley asked as she folded her arms with a smile of disdain on her face. Landon was trying his best to not laugh at this moment. He could not believe his eyes. Mark was crying. Does he value his job so much? Landon laughed inwardly. Mark was an impulsive fellow. Only he just ruined his chances of keeping his job in check. “I’m truly sorry Madam Ashley. I was very stupid for my actions!” Mark begged. “Please reconsider your decision.” He was unwilling to lose his job. Mr. Davis had plainly stated that if he did not secure this deal he would lose his job. He had come to secure this deal with a heavy heart, but he never expected he would end up arguing with his savior. Ashley was chatting with Landon casually. This was what made him assume she was just a regular person. This was why he acted the way he acted. How was he supposed to know that Landon would be acquainted with an important person? “I am not a bitch again right?” Ashley as
Sorry everyone for the lack of post for yesterday and today. I had a personal family issue but I will resume posting as of tomorrow evening by 10pm by Nigerian time.

..“How about I invite you to my place tomorrow?” Ashley asked with a smile.Landon smiled back at her and replied, “I would love to, but I can’t say yes for sure since I’ll be working tomorrow.”“Work? You think your boss will keep you from coming?” Ashley smirked, causing Landon to nod in agreement.“Then it’s settled. I’ll see you at my place tomorrow,” Ashley stated firmly.She then turned to Mark and said sternly, “Landon better be available tomorrow, whether he’s working or not. Am I clear?”Mark nodded, feeling very dissatisfied with the situation but knowing he had no choice. He understood the consequences of not doing as Ashley said. Since he couldn’t afford to lose his job, he had to agree to her terms for now.“Good,” Ashley said, and then she looked at Landon. “The problem has been sorted out now. We’ll meet at noon.”Landon smiled and replied, “No problem.”Landon and Ashley engaged in casual conversation for an hour, while Mark was told to sit alone elsewhere during tha
