Chapter 71 - You Have Been Selected

"Congratulations Miss Nina Anderson, you have been selected by the higher-ups. The manager has assigned me to make the selection list. Welcome back to the High Clouds Enterprise" Miss Tirana called Nina Anderson to inform her about the result of the interview for the post of lower division assistant. Although this post was very much lower in rank than before, Nina Anderson applied for the post a few days back as she was in need of a job at that time.

"What!A,....are you sure?I...is it really my name? Oh, God! I am so happy."Nina Anderson said happily.

"I am happier than you. You have to buy me dinner today.I just got news about opening a French restaurant. The pictures of their traditional specialties are going viral on social media. I want to have dinner there. Ha ha ha.I was searching for an occasion to go there. Today I got a chance. As you are happy today, I think we should celebrate."

"Today?.......I think it is a little bit....You know that I was jobless these days. So it would not be possible for me. What about we postpone it until my first payday?"Nina Anderson said with hesitation.

"Hey. I can not postpone it as I already decided. As you are a poor friend of mine right now, I can think of another way for it. What about I buy you dinner today? You can buy me one on your payday."Miss Tirana said with a smile.

"Tirana is it necessary to have dinner today? You have already spent a large amount of your money on me. I really do not feel comfortable with it."

"Miss Nina Anderson, I have on spent my money on you. I only lend them to you for some time. Did not you tell me that you will pay me back those? So, you can not tell me about that."

"What about the mobile phone you gifted me? Tirana,I am really feeling bad about this."

"Nina, I think you still have not accepted me as your friend wholeheartedly. "

"That is not the matter, you also know.I just....."

"Nina,I don't want to hear your excuses. We should celebrate your first success after your comeback. That is final. Now I am hanging up. You get ready and come here. We will leave immediately after my work."Miss Tirana said with a happy tone.

"Why so early? You should come home and fresh up first.Are not you tired?"

"No, we need to go immediately after my work as it will take more than two hours to reach there."

"What?More than two hours? Where are we going to?"

"You will know. Now let me work. I need to prepare a report before leaving. You just call me as you reach here."

"Ok.Bye."Nina Anderson said and hang up the call.

"That girl really knows how to spend all the money! I have to lecture her. She needs to save some money for her future...I have to get ready now. Otherwise, I will be late. She will scold me if I would not reach there in time. Nina Anderson mumbled and entered the bathroom to wash up.

When Nina Anderson reached in front of the High Clouds Enterprise, it was already time to go home for the employees. Nina Anderson decided to wait for Miss Tirana in front of the gate of the company. When she was waiting there, she saw a black luxury car was coming out from the company. She looked at the car attentively.

"Why is this car seems familiar? Isn't it Harry's car? What is he doing here?....No, it might not. Or might be he is here for some work. Yes, that must be. It is not something big deal for a businessman. But what should I do now? Should I stop the car and say hello to him?.No,I should not. I should meet him properly now. I should hide somewhere so that he can not see me."Nina Anderson mumbled and turned so, that the person can not see her. The car passed at a high speed. Nina Anderson sighed in relief to see the car gone. She looked at her watch.

"Where is she? Everyone is leaving, yet there is no sign of that girl. She must be overworking today. Poor girl!"She mumbled and looked at the company building again. Yes, she is here!

"Hey Nina, have you waited too long? I am sorry, I could not make it sooner. I had to do some extra work."Nina Anderson turned to see her friend.

"No, my dear.  It's ok. I was lying idly in bed the whole day after all. You are working hard here. I don't mind waiting here a bit. Are you tired?"Nina Anderson said with a worried tone.

"Little bit. But it's ok, as I can eat in a French restaurant today. Let's go now. We are already late. Our cab is here."Miss Tirana said happily.

"So are we riding a cab? Would not it be expensive?"

"Hey don't worry.I can spend these much on my favorite french food.Ha Ha. Now let us go."Miss Tirana said and get in the car. Nina Anderson followed her.

"Now tell me where are we going?"

"We are going to City L ."Miss Tirana replied happily.

"What! Do you want to go to city L to have your favorite French food? Are you gone insane? How can you spend these much money on these types of things? A girl of your age should try to save some money to buy some nice dresses also. Are you planning to spend everything on food?"

"Nina, the food only can give me mental satisfaction. Nice dresses can not give me that satisfaction. Don't worry. I am beautiful enough even without nice dresses."

"I know, I know. You are very beautiful my dear foodie friend."Nina Anderson said with a smile.

"Ha, ha."

When both of them reached the restaurant, it was already dark. They entered the restaurant and Miss Tirana ordered some food for them.

"Nina, I have to go to the restroom. You wait for me here."Miss Tirana said and left.

"Nina? Why are you here?A...and when did you return?"Nina Anderson shocked to hear the familiar voice behind her. She almost jumped up in shock. She turned immediately. It was Harry Jian. She stared at her boyfriend with widen eyes. Although she tried, but could not utter a single word.

"Where did you go? I searched for you everywhere. I....I was very worried about you. You even switched off your mobile. How can you do this to me?"Harry Jian said in a sad tone. He waited for some time to get an answer from her. But she was still standing there like a statue.

"Nina, are you ok? Are not you Mr. Jian? Yes.I think you are. Don't worry,I think she is a little shocked to see you. She will be fine."Said Miss Tirana. She just returned from the restroom. Nina Anderson came back to her senses to hear her friend's voice.

"I.......I am sorry Harry. I was sh........shocked to see you here.H.......how are you?"Nina Anderson uttered in a shaky and nervous voice.

"Ok, darling. But why are you here? Are you here for dinner?" Mr. Harry Jian asked in a curious tone.

"Y.......yes.She is my friend Miss Tirana."Nina Anderson replied in the same tone.

"Hello, Miss Tirana. Let me introduce myself. I am Harry Jian of Jian Cosmetics. I am her boyfriend."

"Hello, Mr. Jian.Nice to meet you. Are you here for dinner?"Miss Tirana asked curiously.

"Actually I had a dinner meeting with a client. But now I got a call from his assistant that the meeting has postponed. Now I was about to leave the restaurant. I never thought that I would meet her here. Miss, Tirana, will you mind, if I too join you two for dinner. I missed her." Mr. Harry Jian asked in a polite tone.

"Of course. You should join us. Both of you must have missed each other these days. Please have a seat and order some food for you." Miss Tirana said with a smile and sat down. Mr. Harry Jian pulled a chair and signaled Nina Anderson to sit and he sat beside her.

"Nina, now tell me when did you return? Why did you not contact me? I was trying to search everywhere, but could not get any information. How can you just text me and disappear? I.......I even thought that I would not be able to meet  you in the future." Mr. Harry Jian took Nina Anderson's hand on him and asked in a worried tone.

"Nina, what happened? Why are you not answering? Are you fine?"He asked her again as she did not reply.
