"Who is calling me...? a video call...?!?" Cecilia Mason lay on the soft matress, her backside facing the white ceiling, wondering who might be calling her. She nodded and squeezed her face, thinking to herself, "it might be Kellen who wants to play pranks on me just like the other."

Cecilia Mason, a young lady approaching her late twenties but still in her twenties. She graduated with honors in accounting but was unable to find a suitable job. Kellen, her boyfriend, sent her a job link. She applied for a job in the Asilonia.

She swipes her thumb up to the answer button.

She sat her buttocks on the bed, her legs crossed over each other, she raised her phone to her viewing as her face flushed and her neck bent, ready to scold a child, a well-organized room painted white appeared on the screen with a chair where no one is seated " hello...!" She said, her tune was so low that it couldn't reach the other side, as she narrowed her eyes, puzzled by the empty seat.

'If this isn't Kellen's prank, then what is it?' she wondered. She continued to stare at the screen until a black man dressed in a royal blue suit with a white inner lining sat in the chair in front of the camera.His top button was undone, revealing his strong and masculine jawline, a black man in a black shirt, who also had a strong masculine jawline, stood close to him, his face wasn't visible on the screen, but he will undoubtedly be looking ahead because he is a bouncer.

Cece widened her eyes in confusion, looking anxious to find out who they were. 'Who can this person be?' their eyes met, she smiled at him and bowed her head slightly without taking her gaze away from the screen. She smiled to hide her worry, but her gaze betrayed her.

"Hello," she said. She was at a loss for words. She returned her gaze to his. She quickly added as his face squeezed a little bit “Good afternoon, sir-r"

"Hello …!” he paused smiling at her which made her much more convenient “I'm hoping you're Cecilia Mason...?" Noel Brown continued with his back relaxed on the soft sofa.

Noel Brown! Mr Levi Ethan's personal assistant and the manager of the Ethan company. Noel Ethan had been with the company for more than two decades. He was one of the first employees and has worked diligently while remaining loyal to Mr Ethan.

"Yes, sir..." She replied quickly, her laughter suppressed, but why was she laughing? Is it his tone of voice or the way he addressed her? She widened her lips and flashed her white teeth.

" Don't worry about me! "I stammer some times." Her face flushed, and she felt guilty for making jest of him and sorry for him. ” I'm pleased to inform you that you have been chosen to work for us in our company; further information will be sent to your email address. For the time being... Bye!"

The screen went black. She stared at the screen, trying to breathe, but she couldn't say anything because it was difficult for her to breathe properly. She appeared to be crossing over to the other side.

She blinked her eyes open and screamed, "I'm one of them...!" Ahh…!” She jumped off the bed and screamed until a young woman in her early twenties stormed in without knocking.

Cece flew on her like the wind, and she quickly stepped back to regain balance.

Cece kept screaming, "I was chosen...!" They muted, and after some while, Cece raised her head to Iris, she breathed deeply and said cooly and calmly “do you still remember the job I applied for…?" she stared at Iris's eyes anxiously.

“what job…?" She stared back.

“The online job…!”

“yeah” Iris held her fingers and exclaimed “ You were chosen for real…? " she widened her eyes.

“ Yes …! " They both screamed. Cece calmed down and said “ where are mom and dad? "

she looked into Cece's eyes “ They're outside in the car park… "

She wore her slippers, moved towards the door, and said “ Let's go there now…! "

Iris pulled her arm back, Cece turned to her, while she wrapped her palm around her hand “ I will be the one to break the news…! "

She regained balance “ No… I will be the one! "

She frowned slightly “ Ok…"

Car pack

They moved quickly to their parent who was sitting under the carport “ Mum! dad! " She stopped in front of them and said grinning at them.

“ What?! Why are you smiling…? " Violet Mason asked, she squeezed her face a bit Mr. Elias Mason glanced ag them and turned his face to his newspaper held tight in his hand.

“ I…” Cece stammered.

“We're smiling because Cece got the job she applied for!” Iris cut in. Cece stared at her with her face flushed. “ I'm sorry!" She pulls her ears.

“ What? Job…?” Mr. Elias Mason, Her dad asked putting down his newspaper and removing his eyeglasses staring at the two young ladies.

“ The job I applied for online…” she gasped.

“You got it…” he asked almost immediately sitting at the tip of the bench he is seated on.

“ yes sir”

He grinned loud “I'm proud of you my daughter!” Mr. Elias said to Cece.

“ Don't forget she's our daughter…" Mrs. Violet cut in.

“Thank you, sir…!” she bent her knees slightly.

“don't mind your mother, come here!”

“Okay, sir…!” she walked to him, and Mrs. Violet stared at them.

He turned to Iris and said, “You too come and sit down here or-r do you want to sit with your mom!”

“no sir…!” she walked to him.

“What!” Mrs. Violet widened her eye and left her mouth wide open. “Ah..ah!" She laughed.

“I thought you are the baby of the house, you're supposed to sit with your mom…!” he said to her jokingly.

“I'm not anymore, I've grown up” she moved to him, and they laughed.

“ I'm proud of you” Iris's phone made a buzzing noise once “what's that!" He said looking at Iris's hand.

“ I'm trying to check" she said operating the phone.

“ Okay! I know you will make me more proud! Kudos to you my baby” he said rubbing Cece's shoulder.

“ Wow…!” Iris screamed out with a smile on her face.

“What is it…!" Mrs. Violet Mason asked immediately. As they stared at her.

“ I got an admission!" She screamed out some seconds after she operated her phone.

“ Wow!" He opened his mouth.

“Congrats dear!" Cece said.

“ I'm proud of you two!” he rubbed their shoulders and pulled them closer to him.

After a while, the two young ladies left, and Mrs. Violet breathe deeply.

“What's wrong," Mr. Elias asked.

“ How do we want to get the money for her to travel to the US likewise Iris's admission, you know how long she had been requesting for this opportunity to get into that university" she lowered her head.

“That's a small thing, I will sell this jeep here” he pointed at it behind her “at least we still have a car, the Jeep is worth over a million, and some land I inherited, both will be enough”

“ Okay, I think that will do" she held her jaw up with her hand.

“Yeah! cool down wifey!”
