I lethargically picked up the deep blue-black phone and held it to my ear. “Hello?” I asked.I felt my forehead wrinkle in confusion, for all I could really hear was mere panting.
“HELLO” the voice finally replied, “I HAVE THE MOST ALARMING NEWS” and from the way she was yelling I made out that it could only be my receptionist Clarisse and that she had forgotten to put her hearing aid on, so everyone else seemed deaf to her as well.
I moved the phone away from my ear for safety reasons.I heard her ruffling about in her draw for an asthma inhaler, and then breathing in and out.
“MISS MIRANDA CLIVE JUST WALKED IN WITH AN EXPRESSION AS SLY AS A FOX”.To this comment I laughed.
“I ASKED HER WHY SHE WAS HERE” she continued “BUT THAT ILL MANNERED YOUNG LADY JUST GLARED AT ME UP AND DOWN AND ASKED ME IF I DIDN’T KNOW WHERE THE HOME FOR THE AGED WAS, AND IF I WAS LOST, BECAUSE THIS PLACE IS FOR YOUNG HIGH CLASSED PEOPLE”.
I clearly see this comment had deeply upset her, but I just couldn’t hold my laugh, that was a good one.
She heard me laugh.
“WELL” she said “I SEE YOU FIND THIS HILARIOUS.HERE I AM TRYING TO WARN YOU ABOUT A WOMEN WHO MIGHT POSSIBLY START HITTING ON YOU THE MOMENT SHE WALKS IN AND YOU LAUGH. HOW NICE. WELL I JUST CALLED TO TELL YOU THAT IF SHE ASKS FOR ANY MONEY KEEP A GUN READY”.
With that she disconnected the call.
Honestly speaking I have to agree with my sister when she say’s “awwww little old ladies are just the most adorable organisms in the world”.
In the midst of thought, I was was alerted from the tone of creaking caused by the opening of the door.
Out of this portal,in stepped a beautiful young lady.
Her entrance was as elegant as a girl who had been walking the ramp her entire life.
I know it was kinda creepy of me to be analyzing this chick from head to toe, but man can she bring in the heat.
“Good morning, um.. uh Kyle Clarkson was it?” she said unconsciously as she closed the door behind her.
You’re probably wondering how she knew my name, well, since Miranda’s dad, Jacob Clive is holding up ties between his company and the company currently under my possession, the lady is quite familiar with me.
“Yes, Miranda, it is, oh and good morning.” said I “Please take a seat.”
She walked cooly towards the chair, sat down, crossing her slim legs, flung her brief case on to the chair beside her in the coolest manner, after which she flung a strand of her glazed fire brunette hair.
“How may I help you?” I started of cooly, imitating her by flipping my strand of pearl platinum color hair at the back.
“How’s your dad?”said I
“Me coming here has nothing to do with my dad” she said, then thought for a while by raising her bistre gray eyes to the ceiling, and said “ok maybe, it does have something to do with my father”. Looking at me again she said “Clarkson, I need your help”.
Grasping the opportunity of flirting with the dame, I abruptly said, as if launching myself straight at her, “ What is it?!!!?
“Well I need a job, here in your company, you see...”she said tilting her head slightly downwards, “ My father wants me to get a job in an advertising company and well I thought that may be you would be the honey to help me” she said with a twinkle of cunningness in her eyes, something I was not so fortunate to interpret.
“Oh really” I said with a smirk.
Oh come on, what young guy in the right mind wouldn’t allow a chick like that into his company.
“Well,” I said pulling my chair upfront “nothin to worry about miss Clive, just give me your documents your graduation certificates..” but she cut me off saying “that‘ s just the problem I don’t have any those fancy decorated papers, but I’m very good at convincing people, and I have great ideas for advertisements, so basically you have nothing to worry about”.
For a minute I forgot about my obsession with her hair that floated just above her shoulders.
“ Sorry Miranda I’ve worked too long and too hard to get this company working like a well oiled machine, by hiring well qualified workers. It would not be fair to the company or to those workers if I were to hire you”. “Ooh” she replied, with a threatening grin that reveled the dimples below her high cheekbones.
“Well listen here Clarkson”she replied, rising from the chair and strutting behind mine “you and me are quite aware of the fact that your company mainly prospers due to the support provided by dad’s company”she said rubbing her well manicured finger on the top of my chair.
I knew exactly where she was headed and I knew that would not like it.
I could feel the heat rushing to my face and my temples began to throb.I gritted my teeth so hard that the enamel started weaken.
I feel sorry for the enamel.
Then she raised her voice a tone higher saying “oh wait! what if that connection were to be cut. Tsk, tsk, oh well that would mean your shares would be broken and your company would fall apart”the she bent down and whispered in my ear in a threatening manner “ now we wouldn’t want that to happen now would we”.
I swear if this chick wasn’t as pretty as she currently is I would have squashed her head like a pea.
I considered her point for a while and before the point where one’s head tends to explode under these circumstances, I took out a pen and form and signed it, after which she signed it as well.
Then she smiled and strutted out in the same manner she walked in, the paused for a moment turned her head and said “thanks so much Clarkson” and continued on out.
My eyes followed her in a gloomy way till the reception when she met with Clarisse again and said “hmph” to which Clarisse responded by sticking her tongue out at her behind her back.
I just placed my hand on my eyes looked down and giddily laughed sometimes the silliest things just suck the strength right outta you.

Salutations.
You have presented an potentially intriguing story here, but I think the main thing you are missing is character. So far, there is nothing about the character to suggest they are interesting or different from anyone else. Try to add something unique about the character early on to catch the reader's attention. This is especially important in this sort of story, where it doesn't start out with much action or excitement.
There are a lot of grammatical mistakes here. I'll go through the story and list as many as I can find:
There should be a comma after "Hello" and a comma after "news". This sentence is also a bit awkward; I would suggest cutting this sentence up into shorter ones.
There should be a comma after "eyes" and "down". There should also be a period or semi-colon after "laughed".
One thing I noticed a few times was that you didn't put spaces between words and punctuation such as periods. Make sure to proofread for that sort of thing, as well as for capitalization.
Also, you seem to have a lot of mistakes punctuating dialogue. May I direct you here?
Well, all in all, the story is interesting and has potential to be really good, with this situation set up between these two people, but it needs a lot of grammar corrections and some proofreading. Good luck with the rest of the novel!
Howdy!

I'm going to review your work.
You need to have a space between 'asked' and 'I'.
I don't think this makes sense. It would make better sense if you said 'Honesty speaking'
'Said' is a boring word. How did she say it?
'Ok' needs a capital 'o'.
This needs a question mark at the end.
'Miss' needs a capital 'm'.
I really don't think this sentence is necessary.
There needs to be a question mark at the end of this sentence.
I think you mean 'then she bent down'.
Once again, a question mark is needed.
You're in danger of being too chatty here. Stick to formal language when you're not in speech and therefore you should say 'right out of you'. I know you lose the effect but it keeps the tone the same.
It's not bad. The plot seems fantastic but there are still some things you need to look over. Check several times before you submit in future because some of this could have been prevented! But I can't wait to read more!
I'm glad you liked it ,about "honesty" in that context it would be wrong english
so I'll keep that as it is other than about the grammatical errors I'll have to work on that.
