Untamed Boss' Untouched Mistress

I want a job!

Margaret’s POV

"It was my third attempt and I still failed. I don’t think I will get the job in this life. It’s been four month that I am graduated from university but I was not able to c***k a single interview. What should I do now?" I said to Maya with my nervous face as soon as I get out of blue building. Maya was waiting for me at the gate with some paper in her hand. Maya kept her hand on her forehead and pressed her lips when she saw me with distress face. She was confident that I would definitely get the job this time. She said she has checked my stars before coming here.

       I came running to her to shed some tears on her shoulder. She was the only one whom I can share my pain. Sometimes I think I will go in depression if I keep failing this way. I had developed some Ergo phobia after failing first interview of my life. Most of my students of my batch has almost gotten a job in some big corporate. I was quite energetic before but now I was being a confidence less and more depressed.

"You were enough intelligent to grab this job. The problem is, you are surrounded by bad luck. I can see that’s why you failed again." Maya took out some tarot cards and explained to me it was not my fault. She was little superstitious but I find her cute. No wonder one day she will give me some lines to chant to grab many opportunities. I don’t think even chant will work in my case. I lose my hope for the job even when I see my competitors sitting there. They seemed much better than me in every way.

"Alright!" I was fed up of giving interviews. Every time I get rejected, it’s making my confidence even more down. 

“What? Do you want to go to another interview at Park Corporation? They are hiring some fellow fresher.” Maya asked me with curious face. I saw a call letter in her hand. She was working in Park Corporation and got some reference for me. I smiled bitterly while looking at her..

"I don’t think I can make it anymore. I will give some time to myself." I wiped misery face and tried to be normal. I thought relaxing for some time will definitely boost me up. I decided not to see any interview until I am fully prepared. We started walking out. Maya noticed that I was still upset about something.

"Why don’t you use some girl's trick? You have a perfect model kind of body. A popular boy of the college like Fred is already falling for you. See you are quite beautiful than any other girl present here.” Maya said while showing the girls who was coming back from that interview. She maybe praised me but I crinkled my nose.

“Hey, you know I hate such tricks.” I pressed my lips with distress. I was hesitant and shy in every aspect. My mom dad didn’t let me go anywhere without them. Overall I was from little conserved background.

“Maggie, I am not asking you to sleep with someone. Just wear some decent clothes like other girls. I don’t think anybody would reject you once you come out of your comfort zone.” Maya said while looking at my clothes. I was wearing pink formal full sleeves shirt with knee length white skirt.  

“We will talk about it later please!” I said to change that topic.

“Oh as if you were going to listen to me.” Maya's face was bitter as if she already knows I won’t use any of that method.

         She always advice me to use my beauty tricks on others to get my job done. I can see the beautiful girls in my class used to lure professor to get good grades but this thing was making me puke. This is the first thing I hated most. I mean, how you can use your skin for such thing. Isn’t it should be reserve for someone special. I nodded my head with no. actually; I don’t really feel good about these tricks. 

"Let it be. I don’t need the job desperately. I still have some time." I crossed my fingers and hope for the best. I have already decided I won’t use such lowly tricks even though I don’t get a job. 

         I am Margaret Williams. a twenty one year girl who have just completed her graduation in secretarial practice. I really had an average grades in my academic career. I don’t feel shame in flaunting my average grades because I was quite active in sports and extracurricular activities. But these jobs, they will ask how you were talented than other person, whether I have worked before or not. How can they expect a twenty year old candidate with five years of experience? Above from that they will give preference to abroad studied candidate. Then what about us? I was frustrated about it.

         We came to the Collins internationals to wait for my boyfriend. Its ambience was extremely vast and quite different from the rest of corporate buildings here. We were standing at the entrance as we were not allowed to go inside without identity card. I was talking with Maya about some management courses.

       Gate opened and a black colored Bugatti entered through the gate. The car was extremely luxurious that catching almost everyone’s attention. The gateman nodded their head in front of that car. I grasped for breath when I saw such tremendously favored life. I could not see clearly but guessed that man sitting behind was using his mobile phone.

“Maya, I wish I can have such life. See how everyone looking at you with fear and respect both.” I said when I saw the gateman was still bent even if the car went to parking area.

“Do you know the cost of that car? If your entire family will work for hundred years then also you will not able to gather amount to buy this car.” Maya said while holding my chin and turned my head towards her.

        I saw that car was stopped in the parking area and a man came out from it. I was not able to see his face but can notice he was still using his phone to his ears. He was wearing some blue suit which was figuring His broad back shoulder and muscular body. I saw two three people were bowing him again.

“He must be someone who is at higher position in this company. The way people treating him, he didn’t look like any ordinary employee.” I said while looking at his privilege.  

“He is Adrian Collins. The owner of Collin international and the boss of your so called boyfriend Fred. He has won the international business award this year. He is such ruthless and rude CEO we ever heard.” Maya said as if she knows each and every detail of him. I looked back to Maya with my surprising eyes.

‘Oh..How did you know that?”  I pressed my lips and asked her. I was impressed the way she told me it.

“People in my company often talk about him, especially who left Collin group out of embarrassment. They said he is unbeatable. He wanted everything perfect but he is such rude freak.” Maya said with smirk.

“No wonder he has silver spoon in mouth.” I nodded my head. This is the second thing I hated the most. I saw that man went into office.

"Your boyfriend is already working in such big company. Why don’t you take some reference? Or get marry him. You don’t need to find the job either." Maya already told me this many times but I don’t want to marry him without any job and be a burden on him. I have my own parents to take care of. 

        I was about to answer her but suddenly a hand came on the both of our shoulder. I became surprised but when I turned back it was Fred. I smiled and forgot about everything.

"Hey girls, let’s go to the KFC. I have got my salary raise. I think I need to treat you both." Fred was so happy. Actually he deserves all this things. He was talented since high school. He learned some expertise in abroad. I was really proud of him.

        We went to KFC to celebrate Fred's pay raise. Fred ordered some food for us.

"Fred, can’t you refer Margaret in your company. They give quite high salary. Her issues will be solved." Maya asked Fred. I asked Maya not to mention this but she was stubborn. I raised my eyes up towards her. As expected Fred started laughing.

"Hahaha...Hahaha...Maggie in the Collins group?" Fred started laughing which was making me embarrassed. I started looking around out of shame. My lips curved downwards. I felt little bad while seeing him laughing. Fred stopped when he saw me getting upset.

"Hey Maggie, don’t get upset. Collins group requires quite high qualification. I don’t think you can make it up." Fred explained me with seriousness. I shook my head as I heard this many times for many of the companies. 

       How should I explain him, I am not a college dropout but average scoring girl. I do have knowledge. It may be less than him but I was not useless. My confident level was getting down and down day by day. 

       Fred was good to me. We were dating each other since two years but I have not dare to ask him about marriage. Obviously he was employee in the biggest company and I was jobless. I just belong to lower middle class family who still carrying a dream of having their own house. We just bought our house six months ago and dad is paying its installments with his own salary. I too cannot think about marriage at this stage. 

"Maggie, why don’t you having chicken wings." Fred asked me when he saw I was lost in my thought.

"I am having it...” I nodded my head and started eating it with smiling bitterly. I liked the chicken wings so much still I was not able to enjoy it. I was confused about it.
