Chapter 38 - The new PA (1/2)
April went to different shops and bought some snacks to bring home. Sky had a sweet tooth, he had gotten it from her.
When she got home, Alex had called to to check how she was doing. Despite being busy, he liked checking up on her. More like, he like hearing her voice. It keeps him from ordering his pilot for readying the plane, just to see her.
After they chatted a short while, April asked Alex for help.
”Can you ask James to get me an assistant?” She asked.
”Hmm? Sure. Does the maid wasn't able to help you around enough?” Alex was puzzled at her request.
”No, no. I want someone that is proficient like James. It is possible? Like knows about everything?” April pursed her lips. She had read the 'Investment for Dummies'. Even then, she couldn't understand a thing from it.
”Hmm. Okay, I'll try to ask him. We'll I have to go. I'll call again tomorrow okay?” Alex was smiling. One day and he was missing her already.
”Sure. Good night Alex.” April was smiling. Feeling accomplished.
”Night baby.” He then hanged up.

Three days later, April received a call from James. Said that he found an assistant for her, It was a woman called Josie Abett. Alex had insisted on getting her a woman assistant and even paying for her. April declined, she wanted to pay for the Assistant herself. Her money came from him anyways, at least to have a use for them. Only then Alex gave up, she was hard headed. This was Alex's new conclusion.
Josie Abett's resume was top notch indeed. Alex had told James to find someone who was capable like him. Since it was worded that way, James' requirements were pretty high. He valued himself well and thought that it was well deserved. Although he wanted someone who had experience, it was preferred. A young age like April was suited to have an assistant around her age as well. James had also told April about the amount of Salary that was agreed, Since money was not a problem.
Josie Abett would be living in the Burghley Mansion as well, this was a requirement from April. She needed her assistant to be next to her. Housing also wasn't a problem, since she had too many empty rooms anyways.
Being paid graciously, Interviewed by the Hawthorne's CEO's Assitant, Free Food and Lounging. What more can they asked for? James didn't tell April about this, but he had to at least interviewed and ran a background check for almost 200 Applicants. That's why it took him 3 Days. Aside from having his own job, he had to squeeze in April's task.
Of course James had some helped. Even though he was Alex's assistant, James himself had 5 more assistant under him. It was only a matter of time before it was done.
Josie's Job titled was a Personal Assistant. Although she was interviewed by the Hawthorne's, she was informed that she was working for someone else. Someone who is close to the CEO himself. She had to signed a non-disclosure agreement, of course.

The next day, Josie Abett arrived in the Burghley Mansion. April had ask James to directly send her to the Mansion. Carrying her luggages, Josie was speechless.
