My Ex Mafia
Chapter 6

Nicole sat in the car for a few minutes before heading out. She refused to let what Rico said get to her, she left Sylvester for a reason and she had no intention of going back to him after everything.

She got out of the car and fixed her skirt before heading into the New York Times building. All she ever wanted was to be a writer and this job opportunity was a gate way to accomplishing her dream. She walked into the building with confidence and took in the amazing view of the well decorated reception.

It was a light blue shade of paint covering the bottom floor and the couches were large in a shade of Grey. It was indeed a beautiful room but it was the first of many. Nicole walked towards the lady working the reception desk and asked for directions to the main office. Once she was done she walked to the room on the right and knocked on the door. "alright Nicole now is not the time to be afraid, this is the moment you've been waiting for, it's time to show them what you are made of" she told herself silently as she opened the door.

She closed the door and waited for the guy infront of her to finish up his call. The man looked up at her and took a quick glance at her before looking down at his desk. "okay I'll have to call you back" he said to the person on the phone as he ended the call. He stood up and fixed up his blue suit. He was tall and bearded with a cheeky smile on his face as he approached her,he looked at her with no certain interest in him. "and you are?" he asked her as he placed his thumb and finger on his chin. "I'm the new publisher Nicole Hues, this is my first day sir" she replied with a friendly smile.

"you're a few minutes late Nicole, that's not good for a first timer. There's paperwork upstairs and an empty desk as well. Everytime you walk into this building there will be work left on your desk, before the day is over you will have to read through all the papers and give feedback on every single document that has been left on your desk. If you are late that means you have less time to finish up, if you are sick the work will be emailed to you. You have three strikes when it comes to tardiness, I'm not a fan, once you late the third time with no legitimate excuse then you're fired. I have no time what's so ever to be dealing with late comers." he started moving towards the door while giving Nicole the basics.

As he explained everything he showed Nicole around the building and where she would work. " this is first base, where you'll begin since you're the junior. There are five bases in this building, the beginners where you will work, the secondary base, if you are doing excellent in you're work you'll be promoted to it. Secondary base is more hands on work, the work isn't as much but it is certainly more difficult. They work with manuscripts and the important details, they rewrite the work you do to make it much better than it is and much more. Then you have the third base of the building this base is " as he explained all the bases of the building Nicole took down everything.

Even though she just began she felt like this was where she belonged, she knew very well that it'll take time to get to the job but she was willing to put in all the effort to get there. She had no doubt that she would accomplish everything so she had no stress about it. "and that's everything you need to know for now, any questions?" he asked her.  "I didn't get your name sir" she asked a little embarrassed. "It's Nicholas Young anything else?" he was unfazed with the question. "nothing else sir" he shook his head and went back to his office.

Nicole looked at her desk and damn was it a mess, the papers were everywhere and unorganized.

As the sun went down Nicole was exhausted and ready to head home. She took a few documents home with her to read and once she got to her car she couldn't help but think about Ricos invitation. She drove back to her apartment with the music off as her thoughts were loud enough for her.

She went upstairs and found her best friend Olivia watching TV on her couch. "well well well look what the cat dragged in" Olivia said without breaking her attention on the TV "after you disappeared last night without telling me I decided to stop by and make sure you were alive" she licked the spoon full of ice cream at the end of her sentence.

"well I ran into a situation last night so I thought I would come back home" Nicole said as she took off her high heels. She walked upstairs and started undoing her earrings. "WELL WHAT TYPE OF SITUATION BABE?" Olivia shouted hoping that Nicole would hear which she did.

She walked back down to where Olivia was and took the ice cream from her hands. "hey I was still eating!" Olivia fought back "My ice cream and I sorta, kinda bumped into Sylvester" she said as she opened the fridge placing the ice cream back.

Olivia turned around with her mouth open as she stared at her best friend. Olivia was the same age as Nicole and a very attractive young woman, she worked at a gym so she was very fit. She and Nicole went to school together and stayed together ever since. Nicole told her everything and so did Olivia.

Olivia knew who Sylvester was due to the rumors about him but she had no hate towards him. Especially since Nicole didn't tell her about why she left him. Olivia was an open minded person and only judged people who she knew personally and she didn't know Sylvester personally so she had no reason to judge him due to rumors.

"you're back together with Sylvester?!" she said as she jumped off the couch walking towards her best friend. "no in not. Just listen please, so I bumped into Sylvester yesterday night, then today morning I ran into Rico his best friend-"
"oooo you mean the sexy one right!" Olivia said as she cut of Nicole.

She just stared at her and rolled her eyes. "anyways as I was saying, I ran into Rico and we talked and he invited me to dinner tonight but I have no interest in going because I really don't want to see Sylvester"

"you're going to that dinner" Olivia stated, leaving Nicole confused "and I'm coming with you!"

Nicole looked at Olivia and laughed. "no" she laughed out. "I'm not going" she stated as she grabbed a cup of coffee.
"please, you know I like Rico and after you ran away for two years he stopped talking to me. This could be an opening for me to finally get back with him. Cause bestie let me tell you, that man is really good at s*x" she said with a smile.
"OKAY Olivia I think that's Alot of unnecessary information"
"no like bestie he is really good, like reaaallllyyyy good"
"okay Olivia we will go just stop talking about Rico like that, I really don't want that image in my head" Nicole said smiling at her best friend and her goofiness.
