THE DEVIL!

I walked into the room filled with a panel of interviewers, but one seat was empty. They were only two seats that were occupied, whereby, they were meant to be three.

"Come in". A woman who looked like she was in her early twenties, said to me. She looked very beautiful. Her long brown hair that had golden locks at the end.

"You are quite late, miss". Another man to her right said. He looked like he was in his fifties. He had a stern look on his face. I bit my lips nervously.

Well, he was a cranky one.

I walked in and sat on the chair reserved to for people who were supposed to be interviewed.

Suddenly my palms felt sweaty. I rubbed them on my skirt. God please give me strength. I touched the back of my head nervously, that fucking stranger made me look so disorganized, I was already feeling underdressed, and he has made it worse.

I'm very sure they are not pleased with my dressed. But who can blame them?. If only I worked while I was with him, things wouldn't have been this difficult!

Ohhh okay, don't think about him!. You are doing this for you, and your bundle of joy you have at home, not that bastard!.

"So, we already know your name, and it says here on your resumé that you haven't worked in a company before?. Why?". The woman asked.

I bit my lower lip.

Well, you might be wondering, a billionaire's ex wife, and no one knows who she is?. Well, my ex husbands mother, made sure the public never knew who I was.

"I… I…  Sorry, I just got out of a toxic marriage, and then found out I was going to have a baby. Through out my marriage, I never worked anywhere because my husbands mother didn't support it. But I have worked as a cleaner and also a maid, since then. I know I don't have the qualities, but I know I could learn quickly and fit in to the editing team". I said trying to even convince myself.

I felt so stupid listening to what I was saying. When I rehearsed this at home, it was smooth and fine, but now hearing myself saying it to them, felt so pitiful and stupid. I looked like a fool.

I bowed my head in shame.

I heard the door open and someone walked in, but I still kept my head bowed down.

"I'm not sure you can handle this position, and you have a kid, who is still too young" I heard the lady say. "You don't also have the qualifications, even though you had a controlling mother in-law, you can't blame her for everything, you should… ". I cut the lady shut immediately.

" You don't know me, neither do you know what I've been through!. You should have only said I didn't get the job, not bring my problems into this! ". I said fuming.

"So you have a kid? ". The strange guy I saw in the elevator said. I didn't even notice him in the room, was he the person who came in earlier?.

"Yes, so?" . I answered.

"Did you remarry after you left your ex husband? ". He asked in a cool but demanding voice. What was this man's problem?! . What was his business?

"I asked you a question miss". He said crossing his arms.

"No, I didn't. I couldn't think of being with someone else, I only thought about taking care of my kid". I said to him . This man was really weird!. I still couldn't see his face, because of the mask and glasses.

"Honey, is there something wrong?" . The lady asked him, while touching his arm. I rolled my eyes.

"Does the father know about his child? ". He asked, not paying attention to the lady.

What exactly were we doing here?. Who did he think he was asking me these questions?.

"I don't see how that's your business sir. " I replied, earning a gasp from the lady.

"Watch your mouth, young lady". The old man said.

The man sighed. "You could get this job, based on your answers. So I'll advice you to answer honestly. I'll ask again. Does the father know about his child? ". This time his hands were on the table in front of him. He linked his fingers together.

I bit my lips again. I could get this job, and I could take care of my child like every mother does. I really needed this job. So, if I need to answer his annoying questions, I would.

"No, he doesn't ". I replied.

He chuckled. " Why didn't you tell him? " He asked again.

Okaayyy… This was starting to get weird.

I sighed. "Our marriage was hell, he never loved me, he never cared about me, and never treated me right. So, I don't think my kid would want to know that kind of man". I said in one breathe.

"How do you know he never loved you? Or cared about you? ". He asked, but I sensed anger in his tone.

I pursed my lips together. Who exactly was this jerk?.

"Why are you so interested in my private life?" I asked angrily.

"Yes baby, you don't normal do interviews like this. What's up?. " The lady asked him again, but he didn't pay her any attention. He was just staring at me.

He rose from his chair, walked around the table, and came to a stop in front of me.

He took off this mask and glasses . I covered my mouth in surprise. What was he doing here?. What the hell?.

I was too shocked to move.

His fingers went to my chin, and he held it firmly.

He smiled. "It's been a while my love". He said.

Oh God. I am DOOMED!.
