HIS HIRED BRIDE

CHAPTER- 4

"The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. With each step, the wind blows. With each step, a flower blooms."

MARCELLO TROCELLI P.O.V

The next day, I woke up and got ready. I entered my cabin and sat on my office chair and looked through the piles of resumes. I separated the resumes, which caught my attention, there's only three people who impressed me.

"Charlotte, I want to interview these three. I'm interested in them." I bluntly told her and gave back the rest of the resume.

I stared at their resume, first it was a blonde girl with doll blue eyes. The second girl was with golden hair and hazel brown eyes and the last one had dark brown hair and light brown yellowish eyes. Among these three, she was the one I couldn't take my eyes off of. She had this innocent and simplest look.

"Now let's see who will be willing to take my offer." I twirl the pen thinking about these girls.

AVA WILSON P.O.V

"GOOD MORNING, LILY." I chirpy greeted her kissing her cheeks.

Lily is sitting on the dining table sipping her morning tea with a newspaper. "Good Morning?" She replied but her reply came more than a question.

"Where did that sun come from today? You're up without damaging my vocal voice."

"ahh...well, I...I...." I stutter searching for the best reply because I cannot tell her, I'm looking for another job. Just then my cell phone started ringing, making me look confused.

It was an unknown number. I picked it up "Hello?"

"Good Morning, is this Ava Wilson?" A tiny voice on the other line asked.

"Yes, it's me. May I know whom I'm speaking with?"

"I'm Charlotte Green, secretary of Mr. Trocelli from Trocelli & Shipping Co" She introduced herself, causing me to gasp with wide eyes. "I just want to inform you that Mr. Trocelli wants to interview you today at 11 am sharp. Are you available, Ms. Wilson?"

I stood there like a statue. I was completely astonished to hear the news. Sure, I applied for the interview but I didn't think of getting in. I wasn't even qualified to work there. It was just what Bell suggested and I tried my luck. It must be my lucky day or some miracle that I've been offered an interview in Trocelli Company.

"Hello, Ms. Wilson, are you there?" Charlotte asked me, making me come out of my dazed. I must have zoned out.

"Yes, yes, I'm still there." I replied quickly, shaking my head as if she was standing in front of me. "And, yes it would be my pleasure to come. I'll be exactly there at 11 am sharp.

"Great, see you in a bit." She said and hung up the call.

I stared at my cell phone for another minute till Lily snapped her finger in front of my face.

I looked at her and she raised her brows, making me gather my act quickly.

"Some customers." I replied running out of the house.

"Ava, come back here...I know you are lying, you sly fox." Lily shouted from the house but I didn't stop and kept running till Bella's Bakery.

I opened her door making bells stumble with each other. That was cue, you will know that It's Bella's Bakery. She is obsessed with Bells, so she decorated her whole bakery with bells.

Bella was attending a customer and I jumped on her back going behind the bar.

She screamed in shock "What the hell?"

"Bell....Bell......you won't believe who called me?" I screamed, shaking her shoulder.

She move back to another counter and took out a freshly bake strawberry pie making my mouth water "Mr. Trocelli, asking for you, the highness high bump." She sarcastically replied which made me grin more.

I stood there still grinning making her stop, she looked at me and I smiled with a 1000 megawatt smile.

"No f*****g way....." She screamed keeping the tray and jumped, capturing me on a bear hug.

"Oh My God, Ava.....Oh My God....."

"Yes...Yes....Yes...." We both squeal like a teenage girl.

"Girls.....quite your act. Everyone is watching your monkey dance." Mark told us, who work here as a part time jobs, making both of us still and smile at each other.

"What's the occasion?" He asked me.

"Oh, Marky I got an interview." I squeeze his cheeks.

"Ava, please." He dragged me, because he hated it whenever I squeezed his cheeks.

"And that's not a valid reason to behave like a wild animal." He spat, making Bella punch his arms.

"Yes, but if they got a call from Trocelli, anybody will go crazy." I announced ecstatically.

"No way babe...." He smiled and hugged me, "and I'm sure they will hire you."

"I really hope so, I mean not everyday, I get an interview at Trocelli." I declare proudly.

Trocelli & Shipping Company was one of the most known and successful companies around the globe. It was popular all around the world. If you are working there, then you must be a very talented and bold person. It is very difficult to land a job there.

"I really hope so." I silently prayed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've been waiting at the hall for the past half an hour. I came early because I didn't want to give any bad impressions. But I was curious because there were only three of us, including me in the room.

I was getting bored sitting here, so I decided to take a short break and walk around here.

I choose the left direction and started walking their. I came in front of the glass wall and gasped while watching it with wide eyes. It was a terrace, no a garden and that made my heart start to beat.

It was one of one dreams to design something like these. With shaky feet I walked inside the garden and the aroma of fresh flowers hit my nostril making a smile bloom all over my face.

All varieties of flowers were scattered all around the floor. Slowly, I opened my heels and stepped on the wet grass which initially made me relax.

I smiled and walked around the terrace looking at the design. Some impressed me, some made me gag.

I decided to change some of the things. I looked up at the camera, to check whether it was safe to unleash my inner architect or not.

I smiled and began to start my work with my favourite flower, the purple orchids.

I got so involved in it, that I didn't hear the opening of the door or the manly fresh mint scent that made my heart start to beat.
