Moving to San Francisco
CHAPTER 6
MOVING TO SAN FRANCISCO
Jessica POV
I walked out of the airplane and spotted a man with a large card boldly written "welcome to San Francisco Jessica Wesley"
"That must be a representative ordered by Delight" I thought walking toward the man.
"Miss Wesley right?" He asked and nodded positively then he directed me outside and I followed without delay. I entered into the car and then recalled my mom thousands of request to call her. I took my phone and dialed her number.
"Heavens! I said you should phone me when you reach the airport" my mom ranted. " Yeah, I know. You should be happy I remembered, since you don't care about my whereabout. I should end the call" I said teasingly. "Of course I do Jess, I knew you won't have time to receive any call, so I didn't bother calling" she responded
"Just joking Mom, am missing you already, I promise to visit on my off days" I said "I miss you too, phone me when you get settled" she told me. "I will surely do" I said and ended the conversation.
The earlier man turned to my direction after I ended the call.
"We will be heading to the hotel provided for you" the man said as he gave me a file containing necessary information on the job. " He will come to pick you tommorow morning 7:00am sharp"he said as he directed his glance to the driver
"Well noted. I'm sorry but what's your name" curiosity got the best of me because he had been behaving like the director or secretary of the company.
"Personal information are not meant to be disclosed at the moment, just do as you are told and again no more question" he said coldly. "But you can call me Mr Stone"
"The same blood running through my father is definitely running through him. Too bossy and rude" I thought given him dirty glare. The journey went claim and tensed throughout.
"Here we are" he said as he got out of the car and so did I, my eye widened in shock to see the magnificent building "this hotel surely belongs to Delight" I thought. "This is Delight light hotel here in San Francisco" he said, I wondered if he read my mind.
After the clarifications were done he left and I got to my room and jumped on the before after I packed my boxes in one side. I could remember my eyes were becoming dim with time and then I drifted to sleep.
I woke up to the intense knocking on my door room, I sluggishly walked towards the door "who is there" I asked " am here to deliver your dinner" a female voice replied calmly. "Ooh" I responded. I opened the door and receive the food from the lady, I presume the hotel waitress because her dressing was uniform. I closed the door, walked to the side edge of the bed and began to savor the food
" I never knew I was this hungry"
By the time I finished eating, I was sweating profusely. I walked to the bathroom for a warm and relieving bath, I blew my hair and wore a comfort nightie after the stressful day. I began to view the file given to me earlier "miss Jessica Wesley, you are employed as the temporary secretary of the company for now, so with your performance for the next two months your fate will be decided" I read out the context of the first page of the file. "Delight is really rude and bossy" I said with smile on my face.
After a lot of reading, i gave up because the context never seems to finish. "This company should be rewarded not just best in production activities but also in story writing" I was interrupted my Claire call "am sure she sense am in the state" I told myself then picked the call
"Hey Claire" I greeted playfully
"So if I didn't spare the time to call you, you won't bother calling right? Or you think I won't know you've arrive" she said angryly
"Of course not, I was about to call you when your call came through" I liked, though I knew she was a good lie detector but I had no other option. "Liar " came her response
"Am sorry, I was busy throughout even to the extent, I forgot to call my mom" I explained
"I will be waiting for at my house tomorrow 5:00pm sharp" she told me
"I will try because I don't know when the I will be released but I will call if I won't make it" I emphasized.
"I should end here, see you tommorow by the way love you!" She said, with that she hung up. There was nothing left to do after my mom called saying she had been feeling out of place, like something in her was gone more or less like drifting away. To cut the long story short, she was deeply missing me. I don't even know if she would cope but it was not the first time this would happened. I got back to bed after setting the alarm on my phone to prepare for my first day.
