"I won't allow it, Kieran. I can't let you work, you are not well, do you want me to keep worrying about you?" Quinn asked with worry on her face as she stared at her brother who only grinned, wanting to cheer his sister up.
"I mean I'm strong," he grinned showing his muscles, "I can handle any job,"
"Lucy, tell him to be quiet!" Quinn said glaring at Kieran before turning to look at Lucy who smiled.
"Have you had dinner?" Lucy asked and Quinn shook her head, "Then let me prepare something real fast for you, while you get up..." She said pulling Quinn up and pushing her gently in the direction to her room, "Take a warm bath and wait for me to bring in your dinner,"
Before going into the room, Quinn turned and stared at Kieran,
"Have you had dinner yet?"
"Yeah... I ate with Lucy and now I will be heading back to school, I just thought to come and visit you," he said carrying his school bag and backing it, before he left he turned and walked over to where Quinn was standing, he placed one of his hand behind her neck and gently pull her head forward before leaving a gentle kiss on her forehead,
"You don't have to worry about anything okay? It would all be good, I won't be dying any sooner for I have lot of goals to achieve," he grinned staring at his sister's face.
"You won't die, Kieran. You will be fine soon because I will gather the money for your treatment soon," she smiled touching his cheek gently as Lucy just stared and smiled.
"Alright then, I should get going now," he turned walking to the entrance,
"Be careful!" Quinn said.
"I will!" He replied and left, Quinn just sighed and stepped into her room while Lucy turned and walked into the kitchen.
After taking her bath, Quinn brought out her laptop and started writing job application letters online and sending it to the companies which seemed to be in need of a secretary, not that she has ever worked before as this would be her first time working, after graduating from college which was just recently, she was glad that she had completed her education before all that has happened until now, while she was busy writing the letter Lucy walked in with a tray in her hands,
"Dinner is ready! How do you feel about pancakes?" Lucy asked cheerfully
"Just what I needed," Quinn turned smiling at Lucy, "Thanks,"
"Welcome," Lucy replied settling down beside Quinn on her bed, staring at what was being written in the system, "Is there nothing you can do about your dad's will?"
"For now, there's nothing I can do, I need to gather evidence that they killed father for his property and I don't even know where to start from, and I can't wait till then, I need money for Kieran and myself, I can't burden you with the house expenses and feeding," she said staring at her friend.
"You aren't a burden to me, Quinn. Just take your time with finding the right job okay?" Lucy said as she got up to leave the room.
Quinn continued with her search for jobs until she fell asleep, the next morning after bathing and having breakfast with Lucy who had already left for work, she went back to her system to see if any company has approved of her letter but none have, she sighed she really needed a job as soon as possible, she can't just keep staying at home doing nothing, she carried her laptop and tried applying to other companies, she fell asleep while watching a movie and when she woke up she saw a message on the screen of her system, opening it she saw that TechFi Capital has approved of her letter and would like to interview her tomorrow morning! She felt so happy that at least finally a company has asked her to come over for an interview.
"What's the name of the company?" Lucy asked, when she got back from work, Quinn had told her about the good news and she was happy for her friend even if it's not that she has got the job yet and it was that she was invited for an interview, she knew they would appoint her for the job because her friend was a charmer,
"TechFi Capital,"Quinn replied grinning with happiness, "Oh I'm so glad, Lucy. Finally I can stop sitting at home and start earning, I just pray they appoint me,"
"They would. I'm sure of it," Lucy said with a smile, "You just have to show them how charming you can be," she grinned.
"How is Kieran doing?" Lucy asked
"He's fine, I called him earlier to check how he's doing and he said he was fine.... I'm just worried..." Quinn said in thought, the worry visible on her face, "What if...."
"You don't have to worry, Quinn. He is going to be fine, no harm will come to him as long as he has the both of us by his side..... And he is also a man, he also wouldn't want you to worry so much about him," Lucy said smiling at her friend who nodded.
"You are right," she replied.
"Now you have to get some sleep, so you look even more beautiful before morning, remember you have an interview to attend," Lucy said and Quinn grinned.
"I hope I do great,"
"You will, I know you will, you are not only beautiful but a smarty-pants too," Lucy said and they both chuckled.
The next morning, after waking up early, making breakfast and preparing her self for work even before Lucy was even ready, who was shocked at seeing Quinn already up and ready,
"Did you even get any sleep?" Lucy asked with her eyes widen and her hair roughened as she stared at the gorgeous looking Quinn in her snugly pant suit, she looked so sexy and hot,
"Come on now sleepy head, go get ready, I don't want to be late for the interview," Quinn said, "Breakfast is ready too,"
Lucy nodded and left, soon they arrived at the front of the enormous company, she felt nervous but Lucy encouraged her,
Lucy drove away after seeing her enter the building.
Quinn walked up to the receptionist who stood behind a table, she was a woman who looked in her late 20s, she looked up at Quinn and smiled,
"Hello, how can I help you?" She asked nicely and Quinn returned the smile back.
"I'm here for an interview, Harris Quinn,"
"Please have your seat, I will check with the CEO," she said and Quinn made her way to sit on an empty chair opposite the reception area, she watched as people walked in and out of the company, some turning to look at her, wondering who she was, she only hoped she would be accepted.
"Miss Harris!" Her thoughts were interrupted by the receptionist who called her name and she was quick to get up on her feet, she made her way the receptionist who continued smiling, "The boss would be meeting you now himself.... Take the elevator up stair or....." She saw the receptionist turn and catch sight of a man dressed in shirt and jeans, "Philip! Would you be kind enough to show this fine lady to the CEO's office?"
Quinn turned to look at the guy named Philip, who had brown hair and eyes, he smiled looking at her,
"Fine lady indeed... Follow me," he said and she did as they climbed the elevator and he pressed the number 3, she could feel his gaze on her but she acted as if she didn't notice it and held tightly onto her file as the elevator stopped, they got out and she kept following him, till they stopped at the front of a door,
"Get in," he said with a grin
"Thank you very much for the help," she said and turned to knock at the door, she heard footsteps of the man walk away,
"Come in," she heard a deep voice say from inside and she pushed the door open and stepped in, she saw a man who looked his early 30s sitting on a comfortable chair and staring into his computer, he had black hair and eyes, on noticing her in the office, he raised his head up and smiled looking at her,
"Hello sir?" She said.
"Miss Harris, have your seat," he said gesturing to the chair in front of his table, opposite him, Quinn sat, smiling as she brought her file forward and handed it to the man, who looked handsome, he went through it, once in a while glancing up to look at her face before finally placing her file down to face her,
"Intelligent, I loved what I saw," he said smiling.
"Thank you sir. I'm glad you did,"
"I mean your file was fine but what I saw when you walked in is so incredible," he said his eyes roaming round her chest before moving to her face and Quinn frowned, "Too bad there is no job available for you but... I have a much more better offer for you, would you like me to tell you?"
"But when I applied, I applied for a secretary position and it was stated that it was needed here, how come is it not available anymore, sir?" She asked with a frown while the man chuckled like a mad man
He paused and said, "There was but now it's been replaced," he lied before grinning, "But like I said I have a better offer for you, you would earn more than in being a secretary here,"
"What position is that?" She asked suspiciously.
"You could say that...." He murmured before looking at her and smirking, "Just spread your legs for me whenever I ask you to and I will pay you more than you can ever begin to imagine baby,"
Quinn glared at him already feeling irritated with this disgusting man, "No thank you," she said getting up and carrying her file,
"It's a good offer, you don't have to do any work, just spread-"
"You should be ashamed of yourself, mister. I came here in search for a job not to listen to you offer me such a disgusting thing,"Quinn said glaring hard at him while he smiled,
"It's not my fault, I mean look at those....." He said his gaze going to rest on her full chest, "..... Those huge boobs and such round hip and big-" Quinn was quick to slap him on his cheek before he could complete the word, he was shocked at her audacity and glared at her.
"You've got nerves, Miss Harris. How dare you hit me in my own office!" He spoke angrily
"I wouldn't have if you didn't let your mouth speak rudely of me," Quinn said glaring back.
"Get out of my office! Now bitch! Before I call the guards to throw you out!" He yelled glaring.
"I will!" Quinn glared and walked out of the office, she got into the elevator and leaned her head over the steel surface after pressing the button, she sighed, Still jobless she thought to herself sadly with a single tear dropping from her eye, she sniffed.
"He is such a jerk, how could he say such things!" Lucy said after hearing what Quinn said about the interview later that night.
"I wish to punch the mother fucker real hard for saying such things to you, Quinn," Kieran said, who had also heard about what happened while Quinn rested her head on the surface of the dinning table, sad.
"Nevermind him, you will get chances at other companies, I'm sure other CEOs won't be like him... For example my boss, he never even bother looking at women, I'm sure there will be others like him out there,"
Quinn got up and started walking to her room, not responding, she felt so unhappy and both Lucy and Kieran knew, she walked into her room and shut her door before falling on her bed and weeping like a baby, they both let her be.
