Groaning I ducked my head under my pillow to stop the annoying ringing from blasting in my ears, but my bloody phone continued to ring, so I rolled to the bedside to grab my phone with my duvet still on me..struggling to receive the call with my eyes closed and preparing myself to tell the person to leave me the f*ck alone on Sunday morning. I heard a ding sound showing that the call is received, placing the phone on my ear I answered sleepily with my extremely hoarse morning voice,

"Hello??" I said slowly, maybe it's Noah with another one of its pranks. I swear that man has more free time than my grandma.

"Am I talking to Ms. Shana Rajput " said a female voice from other end, Frowning I thought, this is not Noah's voice, deciding to look at who's calling I opened my eyes slowly to let them adjust to the light. My cellphone is showing an international call.

Maybe this is another fraud call. They will probably con you.

My conscience warned me. I cleared my throat to stabilize my voice and getting ready to tell this b*tch to back the f*ck off.

"Speaking. " I replied, Now not an inch of hoarseness evident in my voice.

"I'm Catherine Lennon, secretary to Mr. King, CEO of King inc., Ms. Rajput I have called to inform you that you have been selected for personal assistant job's interview that is due on Friday, we expect you to be present in New York for the interview " she said in an incredible professional tone. I stopped myself from scoffing in amusement, Con stars really have standard these days. I glared at my phone before replying with a deadass reply,

"Ms. Catherine, first of all I didn't applied for any job and more specifically not in New York. And secondly, I'm quite content with my current job so what makes you think that I will come running to New York for a P.A.s job. " I replied sassily, this b*tch is really getting on my nerves now, what is her problem!!

I just wanted to yell at her to leave me the f*ck alone but she didn't asked for my account details till.....so..

"Ms. Rajput I know you didn't applied for the job cause we choose our interviewees ourselves on the basis of their academic qualifications and experiences from all around the world.

you are chosen uniquely just like other interviewees. And working for our company will be good for your experience and career. You should not miss this opportunity. " the b*tch said again, I nearly scoffed at her once again, Yeah right working for your company will be VERY good for my career!! More like destroying my career before even starting .

I just want to punch this lady through the phone right now more than anything!!

she is probably making thousands for coning people whole day..poor people who work their asses off to earn the money, that b*tches like her take just like that!!!

"Ms. Rajput?? " the evil b*tch said once again probably making sure whether she succeeded to persuade me or not.

Not ME B*TCH !?!!?

" I'll think about it Ms. Lennon and give my answer to you this evening. " I said sassily before cutting the call at once. Yeah I'll call her again when chickens starts to fly. Note my sarcasm. How did she even got my number!!?? I would have to contact my bank, what the heck did they do!!??!.

I huffed one last time before getting off the bed and carrying on with my morning routine, brushing my teeth, showering then heading downstairs to kitchen for preparing breakfast for me and Noah.

As I entered the kitchen, I wore the apron before moving to fridge,

Eggs, but we had scrambled eggs yesterday. Maybe we can have pancakes,

but I don't feel like having something sweet. Maybe I can make Poha.

I started preparing poha when Noah came downstairs and sat on the couch smiling radiantly.

"What are you making sis?? " he asked while scrolling through his phone.

"Don't you have extra classes today?? " I asked ignoring his previous question completely.

"No. Is Diya didi (sis) coming? Huh?" He said wiggling his eyebrows at me. This stupid is hell bent that I and Diya are together, but I know he do this to get on my nerves.

Rolling my eyes at his stupid theory, I went back to cooking, and here comes the devil's spawn...

"Did anyone said Diya?? " Diya poked her head through the front door,

She was dressed in all black, She removed her helmet before making herself at home.

I served Noah his breakfast as Diya literally drooled all over his, so I asked her if she would like to have some..

"Yes!! Please. " she said squealing. I placed her plate in front of her before sitting opposite to them with my breakfast.

"I knew Diya didi (sis) will come." Noah said smugly like he knows everything. I scoffed before asking Diya if she brought her bike.

"Yes. Is there any problem??" She asked

me, I replied with a No.

"Noah, Diya finish your breakfast quickly, we are going hospital to visit mom." Yeah. We are going to visit mom today. It's our daily routine, but Noah sometimes misses it to attend his classes.

We were eating our breakfast, with me and Diya conversing normally and Noah teasing her occasionally.

"You know what Diya! craziest shit happened today, I was sleeping peacefully when some con star called me. " I said to Diya excitedly, waiting to show off my intelligence of how I deadassed that b*tch.

" Really. Howw.....usual. " she said uninterested.

"Yeah. Can you believe that b*tch tried to con me by making some excuse of calling as secretary of some imaginary company, KING inc. And offering me interview for P.A. job!?!? How did she even became a con artist.?? " I said scoffing at the dumb b*tch.

We did a good job. Didn't we??

My conscience applauded for me.

Suddenly Noah spat all of his tea out from his mouth, as he stood up pointing at me accusingly...

"You—You.........You? " he said repeatedly, what?? did his radio got stuck anywhere...he is acting like a broken radio...

I turned to Diya,

"Is his vocal co—" I cut myself off, Diya's mouth is hanging open with her jaw on the floor. What is happening??

"You? " Noah said once again breaking mine and Diya's staring contest.

"I what Noah?? Gosh you both are so annoying. " I said annoyed at their sudden reaction.

"Diya can you please repeat the company's name? " Diya said curtly.

" KING inc... What's up with you two??" I said while glaring at both of them.

I heard a dramatic gasp from Noah, as Diya slowly turned to Noah before slowly nodding her head at him.

" WHAT!?? " I yelled at both of them, god can I kill both of them and get away with it??.

"Sis did she mentioned any venue settled for the interview or any of her's senior name?? " Noah asked hesitantly.

"Yeah she told me to be present in New York on Friday for interview, and CEO was Mr. King or something.. I don't remember. " I said annoyed at their weird behavior.

"Oh my God!!?!? Noah I think I'm going to faint " Diya said as she clutched her head in her hands while Noah rushed to her dramatically to catch her from tripping from the couch.

"Why are you two acting all weird!?!? I told you she didn't con me, I deadass told her that I will give her my answer in evening.!?! " I said laughing to get these two dumbos to understand.

Diya shaked her head in disappointment still in Noah arms.

"Noah if she wasn't my best friend I would've probably laughed my ass off at her...but I think now I just want die in a corner...My twenty years of training her just went down the drain...

" she said in trauma.

"I can understand how you're feeling didi. Trust me I want to die in some corner as well" Noah said in the same expression as Diya.

"If you don't tell me what is going on. RIGHT NOW. I assure you both you two won't see the sunrise tomorrow. " I said slowly, trying to intimidate both.

"Can I see your phone??" Diya asked totally ignoring my threat and glaring at me.

"Yes. Why??" I inquired while giving Diya my phone.

Ignoring me again, she hastily typed password on my phone,went to call history and opened con number's details directly.

She sighed showing the contact details to Noah who said,

"It's acquired number too.."

" Are you trying to play with us right now Shana?? " Diya asked glaring at me.

"NO. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT'S HAPPENING!!!!!" I Yelled at them frustrated.

"Oh b*tch!! So you're telling me that you thought this was some con artist's call. Huh??" She said glaring at me.

"I didn't thought, I'm sure. And why are you so interested in this f*cking con number!!!!" I said, glaring back at her.

"B*tch !!! So you're telling me that you don't know KING INC. Exists!??!!" She said yelling frustrated.

"It does??" I questioned, frowning at the information.

"Yes Sis it does. Look." Noah said annoyingly before shoving his phone on my face.

Business today,

January 2020,

The leading Multinational company KING inc. has been awarded as the most successful company 2020. The conglomerate company does a lot from construction, making technology advancing machines and new softwares to owning hotel lines, clubs lines all over the world and much more .

Mr. Xavier King, CEO of King inc. is not only blessed by special business tactics but also with extremely good looks, this handsome billionaire is dream of every women out there and chosen as most eligible bachelor and sexiest man alive 2020 once again only at age of 26.

At the age of 22, he took his father's place and flourished the company to a multi-billion dollars company and became the richest man on earth, still sustaining his place on top.

Truly remarkable...........

I read and shoved the phone back to Noah.

After a moment of silence, I said reluctantly,

" So.......you are telling me that the call was genuinely true??"

" YES YOU B*TCH?!? FINALLY. you're really dumb Shana, what are you!?!? A rock. You seriously didn't know who was the richest man alive on this planet!??! " she said.

"I really didn't know!! How are you so sure?? Maybe it was some prank call or something.." I said embarrassed.

"No you dumb b*tch, it wasn't some prank call.?! It was hundred percent true call, it was acquired number. Didn't you noticed??" She said while shoving my phone on my face to show me that the number was acquired.

"So what?!! It's not like I'm going to the interview anyway. " I said trying to finish my breakfast peacefully.

"WHAT!?!!" They both shouted in unison.

"Yes you both, you heard me right. I ain't going anywhere to give a f*cking interview that I'm not even sure if I will pass or not. Thanks but no thanks." I said while finishing my Poha.

"This b*tch is more dumb than one I knew. What the F*CK Shana?!?!!! It's the most flourishing MNC out there and you are going to let this opportunity go just like that!!"

"Yeah sis It's good money too...you should at least go to interview " Noah said backing Diya.

"Since when you two agree with each other??" I said while glaring at Diya.

" Don't try to change the subject Shana!! Why won't you go to the interview?? " Diya said once again.

"You want to know the reason!?!! Well sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm not going anywhere leaving mom and dad alone to cope up with everything. I won't travel anywhere till conditions here stabilize, and my mom is infinite times important than any stupid interview for me!!" I said annoyed at their early morning drama.

"What did you graduated again??: Diya asked.

"Business studies. Why?" I asked her confusedly due to sudden change of topic.

"You wasted your f*cking time, money and brain to complete this f*cking degree, so you can f*ck everything up at the last moment, I really can't handle your dumbness sometimes, b*tch we would be here to take care of Aunt. You should at least go try out the interview"

She said softly trying to get her point across to me.

"Yeah sis. Moreover Mom's condition is stable now. She'll get well with time. " Noah said .

"I said No and I'm saying it again, NO.

Now If you both don't get out of my vision right now, I'll go to visit mom alone and leave your asses here without a doubt. " I said glaring and challenging them to defy me one more time. Groaning, Noah went to his room to change and Diya went to mine with me while muttering something under her breath...

I smiled in triumph.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Slow the f*ck down Diya!!!" I said for the millionth time in this drive, she's driving like crazy, I'm sure I won't make it to the hospital today.

She slowed down in the parking area of hospital as Noah entered behind us in the parking with his bike.

He parked beside us and frowned before glaring at Diya..

"What doofus??" Diya asked him.

"Diya didi next time drive slow or I'll tell Uncle Raj about your little stunt today.." he threatened Diya to which she scowled before turning to me.

"You both are absolutely siblings. Always threatening. "

"Now that you both are done can we go visit mom." I said scowling, leaving them to argue behind I entered the hospital.

Mom's room was same as we left it, only the fruits were finished, papa was sipping on his tea while reading newspaper and mom was scrolling through her phone. It's been a week since mom was admitted, and her treatment is going well.

"Mom, Papa!" I squealed and went to hug mom, she hugged back and asked me what I was doing there on Sunday.

"Mom I missed you... Noah and Diya also came to meet you "I pointed to the door where a sulking Noah and annoyed Diya were standing.

Diya hugged mom, Noah following her,

"How are you Auntie?? " Diya asked mom, hugging her.

"I'm fine sweetheart. "

Noah and Diya have Expressions like they are suffering from constipation. What happened downstairs??

"Papa. " Noah said gaining papa's attention.

"Yes Noah...Is there something wrong??" Noah sulked in response as Diya glared deadly at him.

"Papa sis got a job interview...." he said timidly, now it was my turn to glare at him.

"Didn't she already have a job ??"papa asked Noah confusedly.

"Yes papa she does have a job, but the interview was from KING inc. " That doofus said again, does he have death wish!??!.

"Oh you mean that MNC that have it's headquarters in New York and his CEO is that richest guy.....Mr. King right?? Well that's really good, she can finally pursue her dream of working in a Multi

national company. " Papa said smiling vibrantly at me.

Oh I definitely know where this conversation is going...

"Yeah uncle. But she is refusing to attend the interview." Diya said scowling.

"What!?? Why !! " mom asked definitely not pleased by my choice.

"Yeah why Shana??!!!" Papa asked in unison to mom.

"Apparently she don't want to leave Aunty behind cause she's sick and she keeps repeating that she won't go anywhere until Aunt is totally Alright. She's leaving a lifetime opportunity uncle, do something.!??!" Diya said frustrated .

"What is all this nonsense Shana!?!? Mom said, disappointment prominent in her voice. She is probably blaming herself for my setback.

"Mom please don't be mad, but your health is more important for me than anything else. I know I'm acting impulsively, but I'm not blaming it on anyone. Please try to understand mom. " I said softly, trying to convince mom.

"Shana Drishtya Rajput!! Are you out of your mind, I won't listen to any of your silly excuses now!! It's not like I'm dying, didn't you heard the doctor, I will be cured after two-three months and then just need to follow my medications properly." Mom said pressing on the topic.

"But Mom, I—" papa cut me off, saying

"Shana you'll listen to your mother and pursue your dream, moreover your mom's treatment is going on just fine, I'm sure she will Alright in coming days"

"But Who w—"

"Don't worry sis, I and Diya didi will take care of mom, and you should really not miss this opportunity. " Noah said once again cutting me off..

"But mom you will need me here after the surgeries. " I said, maybe they will listen me this time.

"Shana, Aunt will be just fine, I'll be here with her all the time after surgery, you don't have to worry!! I swear I will take good care of Auntie. " Diya said genuinely..

"I don't th—" I tried again.

" Shana we don't care what you think, you will go to New York and ace that interview." papa said seriously, no trace of humor on his face, I know I can't change their mind about this, sighing I replied,

"Okay I'll go!!" I said defeated by their tantrums.

"Yes!! I love you sweetie..."

"I'm so proud of you beta."

"Yes b*— I mean birdie, you finally got your senses back."

"I'll go with you sis!!!!"

They all shouted at once. Just as everyone stopped, everyone turned to glare at Diya, I turned to Noah and yelled,

"You doofus?!!! I'm taking you nowhere!"

"And mom don't yell, you lungs can't tolerate such pressure till now " I said softly.

" I'm going with you sis!! Whether you like it or not!! " he said, I tried to argue back but papa cut me off saying,

"No beta, he's right, just take him with you, he'll be your butler there, you can enjoy and he will settle everything during your stay!!" papa said as he clapped his hands in reflex while smirking, probably pleased with his Idea.

"Papa!! I won't d—" I cut Noah off and said,

"I'm just going to the interview papa, I don't have the job. "

"You will get the job. Definitely. " papa said confidently.

"I'll just stay here and look after Aunt, but I'll visit you later. Okay? " Diya said smiling.
