Chapter 3 Kaira POV

What in the hell just happened? Even I myself couldn't answer that question because it was so rhetorical.

Just when I thought I had found the love of my life and my boring single life had come to an end, I got the biggest shock of my life.

My supposed love of my life was accused of being a murderer by a strange woman and from the way his countenance changed he appeared to be guilty of that accusation. I don't know why everything that has to do with me has to end in Chaos.

The same way my past relationships ended. All in chaos. Fuck!!! Was I cursed?

I thought to myself, the party had ended shortly after the drama that unfolded. I said a quick goodbye to Maya and took a cab straight to my apartment.

The smell of the leftover chicken pie I left in the kitchen was now stinking. I could perceive it from the entrance.

My house was a mess, it was no different from a pig sty. But you won't blame me because I spent the past weeks working my ass off at work just to get fired at the end of the day and Maya is hardly around to keep the place in order, she is always at her Fiance's house. I am so happy for her that at least one of us had to find love. But it was pretty fast for her, she just met Reggie a few months ago and they had already hit it off so quickly.

My boss said my performance at work was very poor, but we both knew that was a lie.

If a workaholic was a person that would be me, I always give my all in everything I do and since I had no one in particular, I made my work my companion.

Maya told me she heard Mr Conrad say that the company had gone bankrupt and they were letting some workers go because they couldn't afford to pay everyone. And unfortunately, I happened to be one of the victims.

I walked over to the refrigerator, opened it, and took out a glass and a bottle of wine then I poured some of its contents Into the glass cup and headed to the sofa I sank in it tiredly drinking away my sorrows.

The faint noise of my alarm woke me up, I opened my eyes but my vision was blurry. I knew it was already morning. The Ray of Sub escaped from the curtain. I yawned dramatically. I didn't realize when I slept on the sofa, I must have had too much to drink, I thought to myself.

Fuck!! I had an interview to go to.

I quickly took a brief shower and slipped Into some corporate wear, drank some tea and two slices of bread just then my cell phone rang.

I still couldn't find it.

Shit!!! I am already late, I don't need this.

Luckily, it was sitting pretty on the sofa. The caller was my mom. I rolled my eyes before answering.

"Hi, mom"

" Hey!!! Kaila!!! How are you doing? Been trying to call you all night"

"So sorry Mom, I.... Slept off...you know how deep I sleep"

" Why didn't you tell me yesterday was Amaya's Birthday party yesterday? I would have sent my present and no one even invited me".

" Mom she sent the invitations to all her contact list. Maybe it didn't just pop up and besides the party is not for... mum...you know parents, it's for the Genz's, you understand?"

There she goes again, trying to be nice.

I didn't want to call her old cause she hates being called old.

" Kaira you will be 25 next year, you have already grown past the stage of being a Gen B.."

"Gen Z"

"Whatever, you are past that baby...anyways how's work?"

"Work is.....good I guess, catch you later mum I really need to do something really important, my regards to Papa"

"Common, I still want to talk to you Kaira"

"Okay Mom, what is it?"

"I and your Father are genuinely worried about you"

"Why are you guys worried about me?"

"Your love life Kaira, it's in shambles, it's been 2 years Kaira, 2 whole fucking years since you dated.. ever since what happened between you and Jake, what he did to you, you have been isolating yourself, no relationship, no pets it's not nice Kaira"

"Mom, I just want to focus on myself, my career, and achieving my goals. I understand you and Papa are looking out for me but I am doing so much better without men in my life or aren't you the one that taught me to be self-dependent, I have Maya..."

"But Maya is engaged, she is off the market and she won't always be available all the time."

"I know that mum, you know what, I have to go now, I have an interview to prepare for"

"Interview?? What happened to your job? "

"I mean I need to interview someone, bye mum, love you"

"Love you too my sweet baby"

Then the line went off.

Thank goodness!! I said to myself. I couldn't bear to tell my mum I was jobless but that doesn't matter because I'm going to get this new job and she won't even notice I changed jobs. I was outside now standing by the roadside waiting for a taxi, luckily for me, I saw one and I flagged it down and hopped in.

Within 20 minutes I arrived at my location. I mouthed a silent "thank you" to the driver after paying with my card.

I stepped out and adjusted my dress before looking at the company, damnnn. It was structured like a skyscraper just that, it wasn't so tall and on the top of the building "FITTATE LIMITED" was boldly written.

I smiled to myself, this was my dream job, it was the biggest company in the whole of Illinois, Chicago and I was sure to get it my resumé was impressive.

I walked inside the building, everyone was dressed corporately.

I walked over to the reception area three people were already seated - waiting to be called I guessed but I didn't just sit there I went over to the receptionist, a cranky old lady in her late 50s, I guess.

"Hi, I'm Kaira and I applied for the position of-"

" Go sit over there and wait for your turn" she cut me

Damn!! Rude bit*h

I smiled at her as I sat my fingers crossed waiting patiently to be called.

One by one they went in and came out with disappointment written all over their faces.

"Kaira! You can go in now, just straight down the hall to your left, that's where the CEO's office is" the receptionist said. I took a deep breath before smiling at her.

I knocked on the door twice but no one responded, I just walked in anyway.

The cold air of the Air conditioner welcomed me. The interior of the office was neat, arranged, and fancy.

There was no one there but me so I stood admiring the pictures on the wall just then I heard a familiar voice...

" Hi Kaira" I turned to look at who it was.

fuck!!! Andrew Tate is the CEO???
