His Little FLOWER novel Chapter 1

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...
