Water bottle? Check.

Extra pair of clothes? Check.

Pancakes? Check.

Colours? Check.

After completing my list, I smiled in relief. Hopefully, I haven't forgotten to write anything down, because I surely don't want to come back for something that I left at home. Worse than that is remembering that you forgot something after you've reached your destination. Looking back at the list, I nod my head in satisfaction.

Confused?

Well, today is Monday aka the day for my interview at the Steele's company. Today, not only I but Sam too will have a big day. It's his first day of playschool.  Looking at him I don't think he is at all excited about it but unfortunately for him he would have to go. When, hopefully, I do get a job he can't stay home alone and thus, would have to go to playschool.

I could have asked Matt for help but he too got the job, that he had interviewed for , though he starts from Tuesday. Odd, I know.

Sam's playschool is just two blocks away.

"Sammy!" I call out to him because if in the next few  minutes we don't get out of the house then we both are going to be late, he for his first day of school and I for my interview.

"Yes mommy?" He looked at me with his hazel eyes. He was looking cute in his white t-shirt and jeans.

"Do you want to go to washroom for the last time now?" He refused and I smiled at him.

"Ready?" He refused again and I frowned.

"Why?" He made a crying face, pouting slightly. "Shammy wan stay wif mommy!"

"But baby-" Before I could say anything, he started crying, loudly!

My heart completely broke on seeing him cry. Last time he cried like this was when he tripped on his own feet when he was two.

"Sammy, listen to me baby. Please?" I wiped his tear from his cheek and cupped his face. That's when Matt came inside our home.

"What's going on?" He asked and then his eyes landed on Sam. "Holy fudge! Enna, you did not just hit him! He is still a kid for god's sake! And kids make mistakes!"

I glared at him and said, "Done? Now, will you listen to me?" He nodded.

"I have interview at nine and Sam doesn't want to go to the playschool. Now tell me, what should I do? I can't just leave him alone! "

After thinking for a minute, he replied, "Why don't you just leave him with me for today and if you get the job, which you definitely will, you can request your boss about bringing Sam with you at work. What say?" I nodded and smiled at him happily.

But deep down, I knew that was never going to happen. I mean, who in their right mind would allow an employee to being their child to work? Letting one person bring their child to work would lead to another person bring their child to work and soon everything would be a chaos. It would be no less than a playground.

"Thank you so much Mattie! You are the best!" I gave him a tight hug and he chuckled.

"And by the way, don't try to glare again. You look like a kitten." He said, laughing as a smile broke down on my face.

People say that I smile, a lot!

I have yet to understand whether to take it as an insult or a compliment.

"Sam, baby, I'll be back soon, okay? I want you to behave and not trouble uncle Matt, yes?" He nodded happily and I smiled at him.

After giving him a last kiss on his cheek, which he returned happily, I jogged out of my house and to the parking. I slid inside my car and put the key into ignition. The car roared to life as I drove towards the Steele's Company.

Wow!

How can a business place be so beautiful?

It was 8:45 right now and I was standing outside the Steele's Company.

The entire building is made of glass with black complimenting floor.

There were around forty floors in this building. Can you believe it? Forty floors! But I was not sure, it just looked like forty, could be more, could be less.

I couldn't just stand outside of this place and count floors now, could I?

Now I don't want to look like an idiot on the first day!

I entered through the big glass doors and flashed a smile to the guard standing there and in return he just nodded.

Rude much?

"Urm, hey. I am Sienna Collins and I am here for the job interview." I said to the lady at the reception, who seemed to be in her early thirties and she gave me a polite smile.

"Sure honey, I am Bethany Johnson. Just go straight through the elevators and on the top floor."

I gave her the last polite smile and walked towards the elevators. Luckily, it was on the ground floor and so I didn't had to worry about waiting for the elevator to come and then get late on my first interview.

I was alone in the elevator and it was kind of scaring me off. All thanks to those horror movies that always lead my mind to create situations which were probably never going to happen. Like, a ghost coming out of the mirror or the ghost pulling me inside the mirror or the floor taking me in or— well you get what I meant. I blame all those horror movies for making me fear.

On entering the elevator, I pressed the top floor which was forty forth.

Forty four.

Forty four!

For goodness sake!

Oh god, please don't make me feel claustrophobic inside this elevator or acrophobic even before I could reach my destination.

Please!

Once I reached the top floor, I quickly got out, as fast as I could. My legs stumbled because of my quick steps, but I managed to steady myself before I could fall and become a laughing stock for all those around me.

No people, my life is no cliché chick flick, romantic, teen movie where I would fall and some blue eyed hot shot billionaire aka my boss would save me.

Nu-uh.

In fact, I had applied for a post in the managing department rather than for the post of a personal assistant. I didn't have enough work experience to be working as a PA anyways.

I walked towards the desk, where a girl around my age was sitting in her navy blue formal dress, her blonde hair was let down and she had amazing green eyes. I never understood how some people could not do anything and still manage to look flawless.

"Uh, hi. I am Sienna Collins and I am here for the interview." I introduced myself and she gave me a friendly smile.

"Of course! Mr. Harrison has been expecting you. Just sit over there," She pointed her finger to my right, where few people were already sitting and continued, "—your name will be called shortly." I return the smile and nod.

I was just about to walk when she spoke again, "Oh, how silly of me! I didn't even introduce myself! I am Cathie Jones by the way,the one who called you regarding the interview." She beamed at me and being the introvert that I was, I just smiled at her.

I sat on one of the chairs and waited for my name to be called. Five minutes passed. . . Fifteen minutes. . . Twenty minutes and my name was still not called.

Now, I was beginning to feel nervous. I fiddled with my bracelet cuff that I was wearing on my left hand. As the time passed, I thought about everything that had happened to me in these past three years.

What if my aunt never suffered from cancer? What if she never died? And what if Sam wasn't my kid? Then I wouldn't be sitting here for my name to be called. I am sure that my parents would have never allowed me to take on a job.

But I likemy life like this, the independent one and the one with responsibilities. I like taking care of Sam. I like how he is such a mumma's boy. I like the feeling of love that I get from him. I like it when he smiles when I give him a new toy. I like the way he laughs showing his one or two missing teeth.

If it weren't for my aunt's death, I wouldn't have been able to get such an amazing gift. Of course, I was sad on hearing the news of her death. Crying and sleepless nights for weeks was something I stopped doing after I realized the purpose of God. He took away one very important person from my life, but gave me another person and gave my life a purpose. That was when I realized that people don't say everything happens for a reason just like that.

After Sam, Matt was someone who was really close to my heart. If it wouldn't be for him, my parents would have never allowed me to settle here. He was the one who did all the consoling thing with my parents. He was the one who helped me with Sam when we shifted here. He always helped me out, in all situations, no matter what.

I was brought back to present on hearing someone calling my name in anger. "Ms. Collins! In my office, NOW!"

I instantly stood up from the chair and looked at the person. My eyes widened in shock and I froze for a moment.

Why was he calling me? What did I do? I was not even accepted for the job! Heck, I was not even called for the interview!

I walked into his office and spoke, "Yes?" My voice was barely a whisper.

"Go and get me a coffee." He ordered angrily.

Before my mind could process anything, my legs drifted towards the door. I walked towards Cathie and asked her, "Urm, Cathie?"

"Yeah?"

"Why is he asking me to bring coffee for him? Isn't it something what PAs do?" I asked, confused.

"Well, he fired his current PA and he needed another one asap!" She told me and I asked again, confused. "So?"

"So, because there was no one left for the appointment but you as you were the last one for the interview, he hired you as his assistant. Now, don't make him more angry. Run and get him coffee."

No!

This was not supposed to happen.

I didn't apply for any of this!

I didn't apply for being a PA of the CEO,

Aaron Steele.
