Tobias POV

Chapter 4

I reach out and shake Tris' hand, as I can feel an almost electrifying shock when her hand touched mine, I push that weird feeling away and focus on Tris.

Her grip is firm, but not tight nor flimsy. She draws her hand back and smiles at me.

"Four," I say, Introducing myself.

She nods her head in acknowledgement, "Well Four, are you ready for the interview?"

I nod while swallowing thickly.

She laughs slightly at my expression, "Don't worry, if I were to go with what Zeke here says about you, you wouldn't even be here for this interview" She pauses as I glare angrily at Zeke, this causes Tris to grin widely while laughing a bit "What I meant to say is you'd already have this job" She concludes.

Zeke has a smug grin on his face," Yeah man, I suggest you start repaying me for all my good words" He says with a playful smile.

I let out a small chuckle as I shake my head slightly.

"Well, we'll leave you, two to the interview," Shauna says, "Oh, by the way, I finished the report for the financial results and sent them to you"

Tris nods and thanks Shauna, as she then leads me away from Shauna and Zeke.

We end up at her office, a medium-sized room, big enough not to make me feel claustrophobic, but small enough to make it seem comfy.

There isn't much in the room, just a modest-sized desk with a desktop on top of it with a lamp on the side, as well as a stack of unorganised papers on the opposite side.

The walls, however, are a different story, the wall behind Tris' seat is full of drawings that look like they couldn't have been done by someone older than four.

I follow Tris inside her office as she sheepily apologies for the mess on her desk, telling me that she usually doesn't work here as well as explaining the drawings on the wall are from her three-year-old niece, who's drawings she promised she'd put up.

I hand my resume to Tris, who scans through it, and then proceeds to ask me a few questions.

"So you just graduated from University, where did you go, what course did you take, and for how long?" She questions.

"I got a scholarship to the university in New York and I just got back a few days ago, I took a course for computer science and spent 5 years to earn my PhD" I inform.

She nods her head and gets up, "I'm going to run this over by Tori, I'll be back in a second,"

And with that said, she walks off.

I stiffen at the mention of Tori, Tori as in Tori Wu, the director of Dauntless, suddenly my thoughts run wild, I'm sitting in Tris Priors office, she's the other director of Dauntless.

But before my thoughts can lead me too far, Tris re-enters the room with a small smile on her face as she takes her seat and looks at me.

"After discussing with Tori," Tris says, "We've decided you're perfect for the job," She says, finishing with a smile.

I got the job. It's my path away from Marcus. I can't help fight the smile that makes its way onto my face.

The next hour is spent signing papers, getting told what my salary would be, being told my work hours and a brief explanation on what projects I'm working on.

"When do I start?" I ponder.

Tris bites her bottom lip as she tilts her head exactly 45 degrees to the left and furrows her eyebrows, looking away in deep thought. Finally, she speaks "Are you available tomorrow?"

I nod my head as we finish up the interview and head back to where Zeke and Shauna were.

"Tris, protect me" Zeke shrills, sitting on his weely office chair as he scoots behind Tris hiding, not so well may I add, from Shauna who, like Zeke, is also on a wheely office chair, making her way towards him.

This action causes Tris to chuckle slightly and shake her head, as she says, "You guys aren't seriously playing office chair tag right now are you?"

She looks over to Shauna who then explains, "We were bored."

"You know, you're lucky Uri isn't here, otherwise Zeke here," Tris says, pointing to Zeke "Would have gotten all competitive and taken the game back to my house, again" She finishes emphasising 'again'.

Shauna glances over me and looks at my confused expression, "Yes, Four, this has happened before" Shauna says sheepishly.

"Hey" Zeke objects, "You were just asking for it to be taken to your house, I mean, who has so many office chairs at their house?" He says, accusing Tris.

"Someone who has a lot of study rooms in their house" Tris replies matter-of-factly.

"Who needs so many study rooms when they live alone," Zeke says, smirking.

Tris opens her mouth as is she was to say something, but then closes it, and just huffs out of frustration, crossing her arms out of mock anger.

Zeke has a satisfied smile on his face as Shauna asks, "So how did the interview go?"

"I got the job," I say, happily as Zeke gets up from behind Tris and claps me on the shoulder.

"Good job, Four," Shauna praises.

"This calls for a celebration," Zeke declares

"Dinner," Shauna says, looking at me

"Dinner," I say confirming it as well as nodding my head.

"Tris, would you like to join us?" Zeke asks

"I would love to," Tris says, "But I have to finish off some paperwork and that would take a while, I can't make you guys wait" She finishes.

"Don't worry about it," I say immediately, "We can wait"

"Really?" Tris questions, looking at Zeke, Shauna and me. When she sees us all nod our heads, she says" Thanks guys, it's on me, oh and feel free to call the others if you want." With that said, she disappears back to her office.

I turn to look at a smirking Zeke and Shauna," What?" I question.

"Someone was quick to offer to wait," Zeke mumbles.

I roll my eyes, "She's my boss, I want to make a good impression" I state.

"Mhm," Shauna hums.


"Uno," I say for the third time since we started playing this game, it's been around twenty minutes since Tris went to her office, Shauna had invited a few more people along and then we decided to play Uno.

"It's not fair, Four always wins" Zeke mumbles, pouting like a six-year-old.

Just then Tris reemerges from her office, Zeke looks at her, his shoulders sagging in relief "Tris!" Zeke yells," Thank god you're done, Four was about to win again"

"Technically, I did win again" I tease, causing Tris to laugh.

"Sorry I took so long," Tris says, "Have you chosen a restaurant?" She questions looking at me and then Shauna.

Shauna nods and then tells Tris about the restaurant that we chose, a nice Italian one near here.

Tris then proceeds to make a booking and then we all walk over to the company car park,
"Oh, Four, This is your parking spot," Tris says, pointing to a spot, as she hands me a small remote that will open the garage door. I thank her as she suggests we all go in her car as it would be easier than having to bring all our cars.

We all nod our heads in approval and follow Tris' lead. She takes us towards her car, that just so happens to be a shiny black 2019 Maserati Quattroporte. I stand there for a moment admiring the beautiful piece of machinery.

"You have a really nice car" I blurt out.

Tris smiles and thanks me, as we all get in. Zeke and Shauna in the back and Tris and I at the front with Tris driving.

We then arrive at the restaurant and make our way in.

"Reservation for Prior" Tris states, talking to the waiter.

He nods and leads us to a table where two people already sat. One being Uriah, Zeke's brother and the other, a stranger with shaggy blonde hair and crisp green eyes.

We sit down as the blonde introduces himself as Will. I shake his hand as Tris speaks up.

"Where's Christina and Marlene?" She questions.

Will looks at Uriah and then he speaks "Mar and Chrissy are having a girls night" Uriah mumbles.

"Without us" Shauna exclaims in mock sadness, causing a laugh out of all of us.

"So Four, tell us about yourself," Will says.


The rest of the night is filled with talking, eating, catching up, but mostly embarrassing stories about Zeke or Uriah.

I, myself gave out the least amount of information I could of.

Turns out Will and Uriah both have girlfriends named Christina and Marlene. Tris was single, however, she was more reserved with that particular topic.

At the end of the dinner, Tris pays for our meal and we say goodbye to Uriah and Will, as the rest of us pile back into Tris' car to go back to Dauntless to grab our cars.

As I walk towards my car, I suddenly remember that I need to call Amar. I shove my hand into my jean pocket and retrieve my phone as I dial Amar's number.

"Hello?" Amar questions.

"Amar, It's Four," I say.

He hums in response.

"I got the job" I mumble.

"Well, then I better tell Edward the good news then. Good job Four." He says, and I can hear the smile in his voice.

After hanging up, I get into the car and drive back to Marcus' house.

I enter through the front door to find Marcus with a suit on, as he fixes up his tie. He glances at me and suddenly his eyes go hard.

"You" He spits.

I look at Marcus, I was finally sick of the way he treats me, sick of the way he thinks he owns me, sick of everything he does. So I do what little I can, I walk away, not addressing him, a small act of rebellion.

"You look at me when I speak to you," He booms, grabbing me by both my shoulders and slamming me against the wall.

Suddenly there's a knock, Marcus fixes up his tie and opens the door to reveal a lady, about his age, early forties. She has sharp, watery grey eyes with a somewhat attractive face and wears glasses. She has a white fitted blouse with a dark blue pencil skirt, and her fingernails look as if they have been bitten raw.

"Jeanine," Marcus addressed.

With that said, he steps out of the house, and closes the door, following her.

And I can't help but wonder who she is.

Jeanine.
