** His phone ringing tone brought him back to reality **
“Hello, Khalid”
“Good Morning sir” He greeted.
“How good are the things I sent you on,” Collins asked.
“I got something’s on the assignment you sent me,” Khalid said.
“Go on and explain in details” Collins uttered, sitting properly on his.
” Miss Piper lost her memories in an accident. She’s alive and healthy.” Khalid said.
“Any information” Collins scoffed.
“The lady you said I should check her details seems to have a twin sister. She has a twin sister, who happens to be staying in an orphanage presently. Don’t worry about her location, I have everything with me” Khalid chuckled.
“Okay, you should send the location through a PDF file. I will know what to do about it” Collins said.
“Okay sir” Khalid mumbled.
“I will let you know when I need your help,” Collins said, walking closer to his closet.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“Okay Sir,” Khalid said, ending the call.
That same moment Collins’s phone rang again.
” What do you want this time around,” Collins asked.
“Good Morning sir” Owen greeted.
“Stop these greetings, Owen, what happened,” He asked.
“Nothing sir, it’s just that I can’t this contract” Owen shuttered.
“Tell them to wait till tomorrow, I will resume work tomorrow,” Collins said.
“Okay sir. What if they say they can’t wait ??” Owen asked.
“They should leave. I’m not forcing anyone to get a contract with my company” Collins hissed.
“In case of emergency Owen. I won’t be at home by evening but I will be in my penthouse. So that you won’t disturb yourself when coming” Collins informed.
“Okay sir, I will bring tomorrow’s schedules and appointments after I’m done at work.
“Okay. Is Aurora at work” He asked.
“She’s not sir, but have called her ”
“What did she say ??” Collins asked curiously.
“She’s on her way”

Piper walked inside the company elegantly with her fitted tuxedo. She was excited to see Collins since today was her first day at work. Walking out of the elevator with her charming smile made her face brighten a little.
“Good Morning” She greeted everyone walking past her and they gave her a cute reply with a charming smile.
She walked and stood in front of Owen’s office. After knocking politely. The door was opened by Owen.
“Good Morning sir” She greeted.
“My name is Owen, let’s be casual with our greetings.” Owen said, bringing out a chair for her to sit.
“According to this company’s principles. I will have to re- interview you again. Hope you are fine with” Owen asked.
“I’m cool with it,” Piper smiled.
Owen cleared his throat softly and flipped the file to the next page.
“Why should we hire you??” He asked
“If you hire me, it will be a great platform to show my skills. Whatever goals I set, I ensure to complete them within stipulated time.” She replied with a cool face.
“What is the reason behind leaving your last job ??”
“In order to enhance my skills set, I’m looking for better opportunities,” she smiled.
“Why have you been unemployed for such a long time?
” I enrolled myself for some advanced personality development course with some freelance work.”
“Tell me your ability to work under pressure ?”
” I keep myself calm and focus on multitasking while being patient.”
Owen smiled at her intelligence…
“What are your expectations from this job ??” Owen asked.
“Professionally advancement and good future” she replied instantly.
“Describe your management style ??”
Piper didn’t hesitate to give him a reply as usual. Even though she didn’t prepare herself for the sudden interview.
“I will be constantly keeping a tab of assigned work with my subordinates and seniors, finishing the assigned job before deadlines.”
“Are you a team player ??”
“Team player.. what type of team player is he asking” Piper thought, exhaling deeply..
“It seems she’s confused,” Owen thought.
She exhaled softly and slowly gave a reply to the question he asked.
“Yes, the team player I was a part of has successfully completed the project within deadlines.
Owen burst into a round of laughter… Piper looked confused..
“Why are they so intelligent ??” Owen asked.
“Don’t know. It’s God’s grace, “she replied with a smirk.
“What irritates you about co-workers ??”
“I believe in team work. Even if I find anything irritating, I will try to avoid it , Unless it personally affects me.”
“How long would you expect to work for us if hired ??”
“I see myself in a senior position managing an important portfolio of this company.”
“Do you consider yourself successful ??” He asked, intentionally.
“Yes, apart from appraisals I think I have earned a bunch of good colleagues in my life.”
“What is your weakness ?”
“I don’t have one, I concentrate on one thing at a time.”
“Do you think you can get yourself someone you can fall in love with in this company?” Owen asked, closing the file.
Piper smiled wholeheartedly
“I think I have got one. Have gotten one already” She replied…
“Really, ” Owen exclaimed..
And she nodded, standing up on her feet.
“You passed the interview. You will see a young female staff outside. She will take you to your office…
“Okay” she replied, and went out.

“Wow, this is so large,” Piper screamed, dropping her bag on the table.
*A knock could be heard*
“Come in”
“Good morning ma” The female staff greeted me.
“Good morning, Any problem” Piper asked, comforting herself.
“I’m a junior accountant under you. Last month I brought a profit and loss account book.” She replied.
“I will check them out.” Piper replied and collected the files from her.
“Okay ma. Mr Walter always likes to get his company account book immediately, they are checked and corrected” She answered.
“Okay, I will submit everything to him when I’m done. What’s your name ?” She asked me to adjust her tuxedo.
“My name is Nancy Woot, I’m your junior assistant.” She bowed.
Piper shook hands with her,
“Let’s do our best for the company’s future,” Piper smiled, releasing her hand.
“if you need anything, let me know ma” Nancy smiled.
“Sure,” Piper replied. Watching Nancy as she walked out of her office.
She exhaled and walked to her seat.
“Time to check, correct and work” she mumbled opening the files.

Just the journey.
