Vengeful Hero - Chapter 2 Why Should We Hire You?
Alex was standing in front of a tall building here is the Dalmia Corporation head office, it is a well-known company in the clothing, real estate and the gaming world. Dalmia Corporation has branches all over the world and over thirty thousand employees.
Alex came here to work in the PR department. Alex is good with people and also know many languages but the only problem is that he has no proof regarding his educational qualification.
Alex does not where he is from, he has no memories of his life prior to 9 months ago. All he knows is waking up in the hospital with Martha and George beside him. It turns out one night when Martha was coming home the blood covered Alex suddenly came in front of her car and was struck by her, since then he has been in coma for nearly a month. When they found him there was no identification with him and on top of that after waking up he lost his memories, Martha and George decided to adopt him and named him Alex.
Since he had no educational proof he did many courses but was not able to get a good job. But this time is different, this time he has something which his father gave him. He can only use that as a last resort.
When Alex arrived at the reception and was inquiring about the interview details all the ladies were sizing him up on the other hand the men were ready to pounce on him and shred him to pieces.
The receptionist was a fair skinned lady with a height of 5’6″, she was blooming in the right areas.
She was dressed in white shirt and formal skirt, one could easily see some shades of black on her chest, which was bulging so much as if ready to tear the shirt and come out.
Alex: “Hello I am Alex I came for interview for the post in PR department”
Receptionist (Day dreaming about Alex): “–”
Alex: “Excuse me”
Receptionist (Drooling while thinking of Alex): “–”
Alex didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, he slightly shakes the receptionist.
Ahhhh!!
Receptionist: “Sorry you were asking something?” she replied while blushing.
Alex: “Where should I go for the job interview?”
Receptionist: “Well the PR department is on the 4th floor you can go there and ask someone”
Alex: “thank you”
Receptionist: “Ah! C Ca Can I… I… have your number?” she asked hesitatingly.
Alex: “–”
All the nearby ladies started laughing at the receptionist.
“How can she suddenly ask someone for their number on the first meeting?”
“She must be desperate”
“Vixen is trying to use her charms to seduce the guy, hmpf!!”
“It’s not her fault the guy is too handsome”
“Humph! What’s so good about him, I am much better than him” (snorts a man)
“I am at a good post still why won’t girls go out with me?”
Receptionist: “Sorry it was rude of me I shouldn’t ha…”
Interrupting her
Alex: “If I get this job then let me treat you to a meal, so beautiful lady can I have your number?”
Getting the receptionist out of this awkward position Alex replied with a warm smile.
Ever since he woke up Alex has tried his best to stay polite and not get in any kind of violence, so when he heard the remarks of everyone he tried to keep his cool and help her out.
Receptionist: “Are you sure?”
Alex: “Why? You don’t want to give me?”
Receptionist: “No! It’s XXX-XXX-XXXX”
Alex: “Btw I am Alex”
Receptionist: “Oh! I am Susan”
Alex: “Nice to meet you, well I should get going otherwise I won’t be able to treat you”
Susan: “Yeah, sorry I took a lot of you time”
Alex: “No problem, bye have a nice day”
Susan: “All the best for interview”, she shouts from behind.
Alex (smiles)
Soon Alex arrives at the 4th floor and after asking someone reaches the room for interview. Seeing the long line for the interview Alex tried his best not to feel down cast. After about 2 hours it is finally Alex’s turn for the interview. As soon as Alex entered the room he was greeted by 5 men sitting across a table in formals chatting among themselves. Seeing him entering they stop their discussion but soon are in awe, seeing the demeanor of Alex they can’t help but think “Is he a movie star or something?” but being in this profession for so long they soon composed themselves.
Alex: “Good morning gentlemen”
“Good morning”
Alex: “Sir, these are my qualifications”
“Hmmm”
“Why is there no record of your graduation?”
Alex: “Sir, I had an accident recently and I don’t remember my past but I was adopted by a couple
and these are the courses I had in past 9 months”
“Well to do so many courses in such a short time is good”
“But we can’t hire someone like that, if word were to go out the company’s reputation will be tarnished”
“Young man keeping aside the fact that you are knowledgeable give us a good reason as to why we should hire you?”
Alex: “Sir you can ask me anything related to work I will try my best not to disappoint you”
“You also know we don’t have so much time and we can’t be unfair to other candidates too”
Seeing things going the wrong way Alex can’t help but think of the envelope his father gave it to him, forwarding the envelope to them. The envelope was sealed and had a peculiar marking over it which Alex was not able to figure out.
Alex: “I hope this is reason good enough”
“What is this?”
Alex: “I don’t know my father asked me to give it to you if I don’t get the job on my own”
As soon as their eyesight fell on the marking of the envelope all 5 of them were covered in cold sweat. After going through the contents of the letter they sighed in relief and couldn’t help but look at the young man in front of them with reverence.
Alex: “Well?”, he asked nervously
“We can hire you but first you have to go through a trial period of 3 months”
Being hired by just giving the envelope, Alex could not help but wonder about his old man’s work.
Despite being with the couple for about a year Alex is not clear about the work George does as he is often busy not returning home daily.
“You will be assigned to a team to observe how the work is done, after that we will think about assigning you a permanent position”
Alex: “Thank you very much sir”
“You can join from tomorrow”
“All the best”
Alex: “Then I will take my leave, have a good day”
After Alex left the 5 gentlemen relaxed and starting discussing among themselves
“How can he get the recommendation letter from him?”
“Didn’t he say, he got this from his father”
“You mean to say!!”
“Most probably”
“Anyways we have already recruited him on trial period and seeing his nature I don’t think there will
be any problem”
Unaware of the ruckus he has caused Alex walked to wards the elevator but as soon as the elevator door opened
Bam!!
Aahhhh!!
