ARSIA'S POV

WEDNESDAY
5:15 AM

My alarm did not have to wake me up today, I was already up and could not sleep due to being so anxious about my new job today. I spent the morning and afternoon of yesterday preparing for it, I also had a date with Ryan yesterday for diner, we talked everything through and I am just hoping we fixed it.

I know now that he is done with his 'too much workload', we would spend more time together and start planning about the future... at least that's what we talked about, I am just very hopeful right now about Ryan and work. I sighed to myself as all my thoughts came rushing in.

I was finally able to push my thoughts away, I used that power to get up and start my long-awaited day. I brushed my teeth and had a quick breakfast, since I was trying to be on time and could not even stuff food in me properly, due to my lack of appetite this morning. 

After I was done with my breakfast, I had a steamy shower and actually put effort into my hair and makeup today, because I wanted to look very professional. 

This is due to Mr. Richardson already boosting my image and professionalism in the meeting he had yesterday with the heads of Mariano Empire, I am so thankful for him. He might be cold and straightforward most times, but he always looks out for his employees, especially long-time employees.

And I also saw a few employees from Mariano Empire last year when they came for a business meeting, they were dressed so luxuriously and elegantly, that it made me feel like a help compared to them. 

They carried themselves with so much confidence that when they spoke everyone was willing to listen, Queens! and that's exactly what I am going to do, I am not gonna have some rich petty people looking me down on the first day.

So I decided to put my naturally wavy hair in a high ponytail, did my edges a bit, and put on some makeup, the usual but the only difference is that I decided to go with a bold shade of red lipstick rather than my regular nude lipstick because red is my 'I am feeling confident colour'.

 After I was done doing my makeup and my hair, I slipped into the dress that Liz got me last year for Christmas, because she insisted that I needed to show those jealous bitches at Richardson & Co that I was only just being in my cocoon and now I'm out of it.

The dress is below knee length and hugs my curves perfectly, like my mum always said; "brain, beauty, and body- BBB". The torso part of the dress is a black corset, while the bottom part of the dress is a ruffled material with neutral colours on it. 

I paired my outfit with a pair of nude stiletto heels and a neutral-coloured bag. I felt like I looked good, I actually felt confident, a soon-to-be executive for the #1 billionaire company in New York City is definitely no joke.
