12 NO MORE BUTS (1/2)
Tobias read her resume.
Maria TristineHo, 22 years old and undergrad.
She just finished her 2nd year in college, business management course.
He suddenly remember his childhood friend because of her name, Iya. How is she now?
Tobias set aside the thought and continue to read her resume.
Its been 2 months since that night.
He never forget how she blushed about awkward things. He can't forget her scent and her eyes, its taunting him.
He abruptly press the intercom to call his secretary.
”call applicant #5 and tell her to start working tomorrow, 8:00 AM sharp.”
he said firmly
”but sir she's an undergrad and...”
Riza disagreed (and she's young) she want to add
”no more interviews, I want her in my office at 8:00 AM. I'll be the one to orienther and Riza,”
”yes sir?”
”no more buts”
he said not leaving space for an argument.
Riza was in daze, confused to what he just did.
She knew that her boss won't allow a young woman to be his secretary. That was his strict order. She just let that resume to be pass on him because she just don't want to be biased with that woman. And she knew that he will never accept her application, but to her surprise , he hastily command her to call that young woman and tell her to report tomorrow!
Without an interview!
Riza just set aside her thought and dialed that woman number.
