You Again

Chapter Twelve

“Out of all companies…why the Roux?” Austin questioned a petite girl, who took a deep breath before answering.

It was that time of the year again, where employees who worked for a long time got fired…nicely…and new ones were being appointed.

The time which Austin very much hated.

“Well, ever since I graduated…I have always wanted to work for the best…and your company is the best…” she answered, smiling confidently.

Austin had liked her ever since she answered the first question, and he made no further thoughts about appointing.

“Well, I really like your confidence…that is what I expect and you can start next week…” he said handing over her resume.

“What was your name again?” he asked.

“Bianca Bradshaw.” She replied and Austin’s smile dropped.

For a moment, he actually considered firing her.

“Okay, here’s the deal…you can start working here…but your name will not be B-Bianca…I will call you Natalie…got it?” he explained.

The girl looked shocked, excitement draining out of her face.

“Got it?” he repeated.

“Y-yes…S-sir…” she stammered, before rushing out of the office.

“Vicky?” he asked turning towards his P.A.

“Yes sir?” she replied.

“Go out, and get rid of those whose names are Bianca, will you?” he ordered.

Vicky nodded and left the room quickly, Austin took a deep breath in…preparing himself for the next 4 hours of interviewing.

Aurora left a deep breath out as she read her sample case.

“An architect illegally constructs buildings, whose plans have already been used…” she read.

Her mind for once wasn’t working as fast as it should; she had left her studies in such a mess that now it had built up against her.

Somehow, the teachers saw a great future for Aurora and planned on giving her online courses, until she is ready to come back to college.

But in the meantime, she had to finish up her term paper and submit it in the earliest…and the earliest means by the next day.

A little message popped up on the bottom right of the screen and it read “One New Mail.”

And then the temptation began.

Aurora searched for Austin’s laptop and opened it up to do her studying, and that’s the only thing she should be doing right?

But that little pop-up message distracted her and sent wild thoughts into her head.

What if it was a message from Tasha? She thought.

Then she better read and it and delete it before he sees it…as obviously he doesn’t like her much.

Deciding that she was right, she double clicked the mail icon and a window popped up.

Aurora couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed as the mail was from Austin’s mom, reading about some vouchers for their honeymoon in India.

Sighing, she opened up the attached link and spent a moment, browsing through pictures of the hill stations and various other landscapes.

And she couldn’t deny that she was impressed.
