Chapter 141 - Personal Assistant?

The next day Fae was already dressed in neat clothes, and she fashioned her hair in a neat bun. She looked very professional. Fae arrived at the RMI building at 10.30 am or half an hour before her appointment. The receptionist escorted her to the 7th floor and invited her to sit and wait in the interview room.

As she walked into the interview room following the receptionist, Fae saw how charming the RMI office was. The office design was luxurious and professional, truly showing a world-class company.

The employees working there were mostly dressed in smart casual outfits. All of them had bright faces, and they seemed to really enjoy their jobs. Ah, it would be nice if she could be accepted to work here.

Unfortunately, Fae can only work for the next four or five months. She could cover her pregnancy with loose clothing until she was 6 months. But more than that, she didn't think she would be able to fool anyone. She had to stop working and retreat to her village.

Later she would think about what to do after her baby was born. Maybe she would hire a nanny and get back to work. She really hoped that the RMI, like Mischa said, did not need a diploma to work there, but skills.

At precisely 11 am, there was a knock at the door, and a well-dressed man in his late 30s walked in.

"Good day, thank you for coming on time. My name is Sam Haney, from HR," said the man kindly. He then sat across from Fae and examined something on his tablet. "Okay. Your name is Fae Muller, and you are applying for the job as Mr. Mischa Rhionen's personal assistant for Moravia."

"Eh ... what?" Fae was surprised when she heard the man's words. Mischa Rhionen's personal assistant? Did he mean Mischa, who helped her several times already? So, Mischa worked at RMI too? Fae quickly cleared her throat and interrupted the interviewer. "Sorry, can you repeat what you said?"

Sam looked up and stared at Fae in amazement. "What do you want me to repeat?"

"Uhm .. what job is it that I am applying for? I didn't know that I was applying for the personal assistant position," Fae said. "I sent a resume through an acquaintance who said there was a job opening here. He didn't say what the vacancy was. Does Mr. Mischa Rhionen really need an assistant?"

Sam nodded. "That's right. Mr. Rhionen has just moved to Moravia and he needs an assistant because his German is not very good. He will need help from an assistant from Moravia who understands the language and can work well. He is very busy and his assistant should be tough. Do you think you can do it?" "

Sam then mentioned the nominal salary offered for the job. Fae swallowed hard. At first, she wanted to refuse the offer. She felt that she was helped to get a job, not because of her own efforts.

Mischa's actions reminded her of her husband, Ren, who bought Magnolia Café when Fae said she wanted to work there. Now, Mischa just gave her a job when Fae needed one.

It is so good to be rich and powerful, Fae thought. They can go around buying companies and giving jobs to poor people like me.

Fae tried to think fast.

Even though her pride was nudged because, again, she didn't get a job on her own, Fae could not afford to turn down this job offer. Not only did she get to be part of a big and well-known company, but she was also offered a very high salary.

If she worked well and saved her income from RMI, then she would be able to survive for two years without working while taking care of her child, and only then would she be able to find work again.

I shouldn't let my pride get in the way, Fae thought. She must be flexible in life, because now she didn't only have herself to think about, but also the baby in her womb.

Finally, Fae nodded. "I can do it, Sir. I speak five languages ​​fluently. I think I'll be able to help Mr. Rhionen in his work."

"That's right. That's why we offered you this job. Apart from the German we speak here, we saw on your resume that you also speak Romanian. It is widely used at the RMI headquarters in Bucharest."

Fae recalled that the RMI was first established in Romania and that one of its main offices was in Bucharest.

Ah ... this was like a dream come true!

She always wanted to speak Romanian more, because she felt that she could remember her past if she got used to using other languages ​​that she spoke. Now, she would be able to do so because RMI Almstad had links with its headquarters in Bucharest.

Hmm .. then, can Mischa also speak Romanian? Fae wondered inwardly. From, his name, Fae knew that Mischa was a Slavian. During the few times they met, Mischa always spoke to her in English.

If Mischa could speak Romanian too, Fae would be delighted. She would be able to maintain her fluency after working as Mischa's personal assistant. She remembered that her genius husband spoke ten languages, but he couldn't speak Romanian.

Ah ... why did she think of Ren again? Fae scolded herself. Her relationship with that man was over. Fae broke their agreement, and she also asked to separate, even though Ren said he didn't want to divorce. 

Fae must now try to forget him and move on.

She was still young. There was still so much she could do with her life. And soon .. she would also have her own child. Her mind wandered, and she hardly noticed Sam discussing her job description as a personal assistant.

She was not sure what Mischa Rhionen's position was at RMI, that he needed an assistant. Was Mischa a director?

Ah ... I can ask him later, Fae thought.

When at last, Sam rose to his feet and congratulated her, Fae moved from her reverie. She hurriedly got up and returned Sam's handshake.

"Congratulations, then you can start working next Monday. Later, my assistant will send the contract to your email so you can study it. She will also prepare you for the training. You will meet your boss next Monday," said Sam.

Fae nodded respectfully. "Thank you, Mr. Haney. I'll do my best."

Fae then excused herself and went home. She left the RMI Almstad building with a chest filled with happiness. She had been offered a really good job with a decent salary.

Sam said that her salary and benefits were substantial since her job as a personal assistant would be very busy and quite strenuous. Mischa would probably need her outside of business hours and sometimes even on weekends too. All overtime work would be compensated appropriately.

Fae had absolutely no objection. She always wanted to work and make money. After all, she had no other activities outside the office and also has no friends to socialize with. If she could use her time to work and raise money, she would feel very happy.

After she arrived back at her flat, Fae immediately texted Mischa to thank him for his help.

[Thank you for the job you offered. I met Sam Haney earlier and discussed job descriptions. I've accepted everything.]

[Congratulations.] Mischa's reply came in five minutes later.

[Uhm ... you shouldn't have lied saying you asked your friends about job vacancies, when in fact, you are the one who gave me the job.] Fae said again.

She wanted to tell Mischa that she already knew that Mischa would be her boss later.

[I'm sorry. I thought you would refuse right away if I was telling you the truth from the beginning. But I do need an assistant. I hope you could stand working for me.]

Stand working for him? Fae furrowed her brows. He didn't know why Mischa said that. Was he such a terrible boss that people often couldn't stand working for him?

Fae pressed her chest and tried to calm herself down. Even though Mischa would be a terrifying boss, Fae now had no choice. It was too late to cancel because earlier she had accepted a job as Mischa's assistant.

After a while, she decided that Mischa must be joking. The man looked really nice.. How could people not stand him? It was hard to believe.
