Carter Enterprises. My heart stuttered. Carter Enterprises? The Carter Enterprises? The company I had just been rejected from? My breath hitched as I stared at the name.
Why’d you give me your card? Curiosity gnawed at me until before I could second guess myself. I dialed the number. She answered on the second ring.
You called, she said. Sounding almost relieved, I cleared my throat. Yeah, uh, you gave me your card.
Did you get the job? I let out a humorless chuckle. No. Missed the interview.
Silence. Then, come to my office. Right now.
I blinked. Wait what? It wasn’t a request. And then she hung up.
I stare at my phone, completely thrown. What the hell was going on? Walking into Carter Enterprises felt surreal. The building was massive, pristine glass reflecting the morning sun.
The lobby alone was more luxurious than anything I’d ever seen. I felt painfully out of place in my worn out jacket, my scuffed shoes squeaking against the polished marble floors. Mr. Carter is expecting you.
The receptionist said, barely sparing me a glance as she gestured toward the elevator. Mr. Carter? Confused, I stepped inside and pressed the button for the top floor. As the doors opened, I was greeted by a sleek, modern office.
And standing by the window, arms crossed, was her. Eleanor Carter. She turned as I stepped in, her piercing gaze settling on me.
You came. I let out a breath. Yeah.
Still not sure why. She gestured to the seat across from her desk. Sit.
I did. She studied me for a moment before speaking. You saved me yesterday.
You didn’t have to. But you did. I shifted in my seat.
It was just a flat tire. Her expression hardened. No.
It wasn’t. It was my career on the line. If I had missed that meeting… She shook her head.
You don’t understand what you did for me. I frowned. What are you saying? She leaned forward.
I’m saying. I owe you. My stomach flipped.
Oh me. She smirked. I have an opening in my company.
You’re gonna take it. I blinked. Wait.
You. You’re offering me a job. Yes.
But I didn’t even interview. You did. When you chose to help me instead of yourself.
I stared at her. Trying to wrap my head around what was happening. This was insane.
Completely insane. But when she slid the contract across the desk, I knew one thing for sure. My life was about to change forever.
I stared at the contract in front of me, my mind spinning. This wasn’t just any job. This was a golden ticket.
A chance to work at Carter Enterprises. The same company that had rejected me just hours ago. And now…
