The Florist [H.S] - English Version

Chapter 1

After walking behind Mrs. Rose through the long corridors for about two minutes, we arrived at a brown door that had a plate on the right side, probably nailed to the wall, which said "Director". Rose, knocked on the door and soon a few seconds later we hear a slightly thick voice that gives us permission to enter. I could feel my legs tremble and the palms of my hands sweat because of the nervousness I was feeling.

- Let's go, Mrs. Smith? - Rose asked me by putting her hot hand on my forearm making my nerves calm down for some reason.

- Yes, let's go.

When I entered, I couldn't see the large glass windows behind the desk where my boss entered, whom I would meet right now. In a way, that view of Los Angeles filled my lungs with air and I breathed out with all the strength that my body had causing those stubborn nerves to put an end to my fragile body. The office had all four walls covered with gray paint causing the sunbeams that entered through the large glass windows to fill the room with some shelves full of books, probably releases by all the writers who worked here or have worked here, and one day my book would be part of that vast collection of books. It contained some pots with already huge plants leaning against the walls forming a beautiful and welcoming decoration, making the fact that being the director's room less threatening.

- Thank you very much, Mrs. Rose. - My boss finally cut off the silence, thus dismissing Mrs. Rose, who soon retired from the room, leaving me alone with my boss. - Please sit down, Mrs. Smith, correct?

- Good morning, correct Sir? - I said by shaking your right hand and sitting in the chair in front of him.

- Naill. Naill Horan. But you can treat me only by Niall. - He smiled making me feel comfortable. - Well, let's go to what matters. Mrs. Smith signed up for our publisher and sent us a copy of his novel and we really liked your work and so we decided that you should work with us, because I'm sure you will have immense success and one day will be a great writer. - He smiled, and such a sweet and beautiful smile.

Mr. Horan, that is, Niall, who is now officially my boss, had dressed a peach colored suit that accentuated him like a glove on his kind of light skin, perhaps for the lack of time to spend a beach vacation, just like me. He wore a white t-shirt that easily enhanced the light blue of his eyes, with brown hair pulled back because of the amount of gel that had passed in it, giving him a relaxed air to a boss. He had some beard that even got very well in him, making him look older.

-Thank you very much for this opportunity, Mr. Niall, I won't disappoint you. - Smile thanking him. - I'll do my best.

- I know yes, Mrs. Smith. Rose waits for you outside to show you your office. You will be the only one with your office key and you will be able to come in and out whenever you want, as long as you are ahead of work. And you'll also have a key from the main door in case you want to stay late. You can withdraw. - He said informing me as much as he could without leaving me slightly shuffled. But he failed.

I wave my head to confirm all that information and turn his back towards the door to find Rose outside to go to my office where I can assimilate all the information given by my boss. After leaving Mr. Niall, I find Rose drinking a coffee that she had probably just taken because of the steam that that plastic cup put on. I approach her so that she could notice me, because she was so distracted in her thoughts looking at her coffee.

- Accepts one Mrs. Smith?

- Absolutely Mrs. Rose. And treat me just by Claire, please, make me look old talking that way. - I grumbled making that woman with black hair and some wrinkles in face, laugh at what I had just said.

I walked after Rose for a few seconds until we entered a brown door like my boss's, but it contained my name on a plate on the right side of the wall, attached to it. Entering through that door that contained my name was the confirmation that my dream was about to be realized and that was just the beginning of my walk. The room wasn't as big as Niall's, but for me it was perfect. There was a desk in the center just with a fixed computer on top, some pens inside a case and a landline, maybe to call Rose faster or even contact the boss or someone here at the publisher, the chair behind the desk didn't look as comfortable, but it's okay, at least until I could reshape the office as I wanted. He had two windows up to half the wall that gave a calm view of Los Angeles, but not as beautiful as Niall's, it seems that he has the best office here. However, this one didn't have any kind of decoration and the walls were only pale and cold with a mere white on top.

- Mrs, this is your office. This is where you're going to work, anything just call me over the phone, okay? Here's your office key and the biggest is that of the main door of the publisher if you end up working someday until later, but I don't advise you, excessive fatigue does very bad. - Said Rose handing me the keys and going out the door closing it then, leaving me on those four walls that from now on would be my house, because I would certainly spend more time here than in my own apartment.

I started by opening the windows, because it seemed that this place had not been open for years. I sat in the chair that as I was sure, it's not very comfortable and I started setting up the computer as I wanted, because at this moment it was mine. After finishing setting up everything, my belly starts making noises and I remove the apple I had put in the bag in the morning and was very hungry. I start eating the apple when I hear knocks on my door and instantly threw my apple out the window.

- Yes? - I said with my mouth full of pieces of apple that I had just bited.

- Hi, I'm Zayn Malik. I'm a writer here at Zoom, too, but I've been working here for a year and a half and I've already released my first science fiction book. - Said a dark eyed brunette leaning against my door looking at me while containing a smile because I had my mouth full of apple. - And what's your name?

- I'm Claire. Claire Smith. And today is my first day here. - I said super ashamed without being able to look at the brunette.

- Do you want to go eat something? Since you threw your apple out the window. - He finally said letting himself laugh at the laughter because of my attitude a moment ago. Leaving me completely without reaction. - Come on, I'll pay. It was my fault.

I got up from my desk and fixed my clothes and left my room behind the brunette who had promised to pay me for breakfast. And I really need, I was starving and my belly didn't leave me alone with so many noises.
