1.5

I woke up for about the 5th time. I look at my clock and see it's 7 in the morning. I've been like this for about a week now, ever since Mason left I haven't been able to get proper sleep. I haven't been taking my medicine and my depression has been getting bad. But I pretend everything's fine because I don't want him to worry.

The guy replied to my application and he asked to meet with me today at his place to interview.

I get up and head to shower, I made sure I shaved my legs and under arms while washing head to toe. I wanted to give off a good first impression.

I blow dried my hair seeing my roots growing out, I really need to redye my hair. I comb out my hair and dry my body off heading to my closet. I picked out my black pencil skirt that ended above my knees and a white button up shirt that Cameron and I got yesterday for this reason. I sit at my makeup table and applied foundation, concealer, and mascara with little cat winged eyeliner.

My phone dinged and I grabbed it seeing if it was the guy but it was Mason.

Macey💘

Hey qt good luck at your
interview!
Thank you💘 I'll tell you
how it goes ❤️❤️
Delivered
I smiled and took one last look at myself before heading out to the living room seeing Cameron. "Hey is he here?" He hands me a bowl full of fruit and I shake my head taking a bite.

The guy instructed that he sends a person to pick me up and bring me to his place. Which is odd but we didn't question it as much as we should've. I finished my bowl of fruit thanking Cameron for it and placing it in the sink.

"Are you nervous?" He asked and I shrugged "kinda but I'm sure it'll be fine" I smile and he smiles back "you look great" when he said that my phone dinged. It was the driver announcing he was here to pick me up. "Good luck on your interview" Cam hugged me and I headed out to the lobby.

I got in the back of the nice BMW.

I knew this guy had money but how much money did he have?

"Morning Miss Henry. Hope you had a lovely morning" the driver looked like in his late 40s early 50s "yes yes thank you" I smiled "call me Garreth" he smiles back at me through the rear view mirror.

We drove some distance and showed up at a relatively nice house. Garreth opened the door for me and I hopped out and headed to the door. "Just enter you're the only one he's expecting anyways" Garreth drives off and I just opened one of the double doors and entered inside.

The inside was not what I expected. There was a lot of space and lots of paintings and furniture.

"Phoenix?" I turn and see the guy coming down the steps "yes, hello!" I shake his hand "I'm Mr. Burnett but you can just call me Kaden" he introduces himself, then motions me to follow him. Entering a room that has many bookcases filled to the brim with books are placed against the walls and many little desks with scattered papers on them stay next to the book cases. There's a big desk in the middle of the room with a couple monitors and paper on them as well. In the corner of the room there's a type writer with some paper in it but looks like we was writing something before.

I sat down in one of the chairs in front of his desk and he opens a bottle of whiskey "a drink?" He asked and I shake my head "I'm not old enough thanks though" I smile and he smiles back "good intentions for yourself I see" he walks over to his desk and sits on it in front of me. "Now do you know what job you applied for?" He asked sipping the whiskey "like a secretary?" I made sure my skirt was properly straightened out and crossed my legs one over the other.

He just nods taking back the rest of his drink going to get more.

"Your job around here will be to organize files, answer phone calls, pick up my lunch and stay out of my way" He sternly says "okay sounds good. When do I start?" I asked, that's when he laughed "oh sweetheart there's a line of other woman that want this job too so you'll have to wait. I like the enthusiasm though" he winks at me and shows me out the door. Garreth was there waiting for me and I say goodbye to Karen and got into the car.

I remembered what he had said to me...

"oh sweetheart there's a line of other woman that want this job too.."

I might not be able to get the job... it pays so well I'd be able to help Cameron and maybe see Mason... Mason!

Quickly checking my phone I seen I had 87 texts from him. I decided to call him instead of read them all.

"Oi! Where yah been!?"

"Sorry sorry just got out of the
interview... I should've let you know
I was there ."

"Nah you're good, how'd it go?"

"Oh you know he'll contact me
if I got the job or not"

It went really silent and it even got awkward in the car.

"I really miss you, love"

I felt my heart burst out of my chest and my face go red. I smiled and bit the corner of my lip.

"I miss you too"
