His Beautiful Addiction Chapter 418: Offered the Job

Chapter 418: Offered the Job

Ari slumped on her bed when she ca back from the interview. She had taken a day's leave from work to go for the interview, and this was the last chance she had, else she would be stuck working for Dalton Clinics for a few more years. She didn't want that.

Taking off her clothes, she cleaned up her house. She didn't have the ti to clean up in the morning since she was in a hurry.

As she cleaned her room, her thoughts drifted to the man from the previous night.

Was she rude for sending him away like that? She thought.

Then she shook her head. She would have made breakfast before he left, but she had an interview she couldn't miss. Besides, it was a one-night stand, they didn't know each other and Hollywood was too big of a place to et a stranger twice.

Changing her bedsheets. She put it into the washing machine and lay down for a movie.

Her phone rang by her side and she smiled when she saw it was Lu.

"Baby girl,"

"You're alive," Lu said and Ari laughed. "Of course, should I be dead?"

"Not at all, didn't hear from you since last night, so I wondered if the stranger had kidnapped you. How did it go?"

"How did what go?" Ari asked, trying to feign ignorance.

"Don't play with ," Lu warned jokingly.

"Well," Ari chuckled, "He was a good fuck."

"I bet, he looked super handso and well built. So did you take his number? Are you guys going to et up?"

"Lu? I can't believe you're asking that. Relationships don't happen in Hollywood, baby girl. And he's too good-looking. There would be a lot of won around him. I don't have the strength for that. Besides, I am not ready for relationships now. You know what the last one did to ."

Lu sighed, "I know but you can't remain single forever."

Ari laughed, but I'm not single.

Lu rolled her eyes, "Sleeping with multiple n doesn't an you're dating one."

"It doesn't also an I'm single, either. Besides I love this, no strings attached."

Lu sighed."What of Zed, why don't you want to give him a chance? He's been asking you out for months now."

Ari shrugged, "I don't like him in that way, he's like a brother to . I don't want to ruin our friendship."

"Ari…"

"Lu, let's not talk about relationships please, you didn't even ask how my interview went?" Ari said, a little annoyed at her friend.

"Oh, I totally forgot. Was it today? How was it?"

"It went well, I'm just praying I get employed, cause I'm already having issues with my manager, he already thinks I'm applying to another company, and it won't be funny for if I don't get employed."

"Yea, right. Don't worry, you'll get the job."

"I pray. How is Paul, did he know you went to the club last night?"

Paul was Lu's boyfriend. He was a little too possessive of her, and he would have gone crazy if he knew she went to the club without telling him. That was his major flaw, but apart from that, he was a sweet boyfriend.

"Obviously not." They both laughed.

"Alright, Lu, talk to you later.

"You too take care."

Ari ended the call and continued the show she was watching.

…

"Xavier!" lissa called as she walked into the house. Xavier put on his wristwatch casually as he walked out of his room.

When lissa saw him, she frowned.

"I know why I called to remind you to not forget this dinner, and yet you're late."

"I had a eting with the governor. I think that is more important than this event."

lissa stopped talking. He was right but she didn't like to lose. "Even at that, you should have told . You didn't even pick my calls."

"Didn't know you called, Xavier said as he walked to her,

"You look beautiful, just need to smile a little more and stop being grumpy."

"I'm not grumpy."

Xavier chuckled, "if you say so."

lissa and Xavier were friends from high school. Her parents were influential people, and she was an actress too.

lissa wasn't sure why she liked Xavier. Maybe for his looks and body? She was famous, so being seen with soone that handso and rich was good for her image.

Although he already told her he didn't want to date her, she didn't mind, as long as he followed her to events and kissed her in front of the caras.

She knew he had things with other won, but she was always the most special of all. Cause they were friends before they started having sex.

"I like your haircut."

lissa said, admiring his new haircut after they got into the car.

"You finally noticed, I thought you were angry that I was late?"

"I was, but I no longer am. You know I can't be angry at you for long."

Xavier chuckled.

He let her take a few pictures of them and post them on her IG.

Although Xavier's parents were popular, he didn't like the type of attention he watched them have while growing up. The paparazzi were always in their business, and he was hoschooled because of that. He had to go to high school in Canada so he would get to know how to interact with people. That was where he t lissa, another child sent abroad to study, they grew close but only got closer when they returned to the country.

They arrived late, but never late for the reporters and paparazzi who wanted to take a picture of lissa. She took a few with Xavier and so alone, after which they went in.

Xavier was not a fan of these parties, but he attended them for lissa. That was part of the benefits she got in their relationship.

…

Ari woke up the next morning and prepared for work, she quickly had breakfast and hurried out of the house, on the way, her phone buzzed and she stared at the screen and to her utmost surprise; it was a ssage from Greenfield Corporation, telling her she had been offered the job.

Ari couldn't believe her eyes. She parked by the side of the road as she stared at the ssage, screaming happily.

That morning she woke up feeling down, but now her spirits had been lifted.

When she arrived at the company, she opened her drawer and took out the resignation letter she had written a month before. Smiling sweetly, she walked to her manager's office.

The man had a displeased look on his face when he saw her, but she didn't mind him. This was the last ti she was going to see that face.

"Good morning, sir. I'm here to submit this."

The man's eyes flashed over what was in her hand, and he frowned when he saw what it was.

''Seems you were finally offered a job. ''

Ari frowned; he sounded like he had said bad things about her to the company she applied to, and he looked really disappointed that she was still offered the job in the end.
