'The secret to be Good, is to hide the Evil'
Maia Severino, a girl running from her past but stuck in a life she can't continue, doing anything to survive.
Carlos Marchetti, a man in charge, always knowing what to do next, always getting what he wa...
I try to avoid Carlos all day after this morning- activities. He may be my boss, but I don't see him that often because he is in meetings or going around the building and I'm not going to follow him around like a lost sheep. It's around 4:00 o'clock when Carlos finally asks me to come see him. I hope this isn't awkward.
His office is more intimidating than before, its dark from the sun moving to the other side of the building and the once playful atmosphere has diminished into tension.
I step further into the room when I politely ask, "Sir you asked me to come, what is it that you need?" "Pass me your phone, whenever I ring you pick up no exception" he demands whilst glaring at my iPhone 5 obviously shocked that anyone owns such an old phone anymore.
"Yeh I'm getting you a new phone; this isn't going to work", he's going to buy me a new phone aren't they like 1000 dollars that's ridiculous. "Umm, it's ok- "I was cut off by him. "I'm getting you a new phone for your job so stop being stubborn" he grunts plainly annoyed my attempted objection.
"I need you to go to the 16th floor and get the meeting details from Allister, be quick" he demands and passes me the new iPhone 12. Of course, it's way too big for my hand I can hardly hold it.
I head out the office towards the elevator past Natasha who gives me a 'well done for surviving most of the day' smile. I open the doors and press number 16 whilst listening to the infuriating music, I just want to break the speaker at this point. I scroll through the contacts to find Carlos has saved is number along with other businesspeople who I have no idea who they are.
The doors slide open to the lively floor, its bright and full of excitement compared to my floor. Why did Carlos choose the most depressing floor for his office?
I go to the receptionist so I can find this Allister guy. "Celeste is that you?" I turn around at my name to see it is the inter guy, what was his name again, Liam that was the one. "You haven't been fired yet, good job" he jokes.
"So, what are you doing on this fine floor" I laugh at his bubbly tone. "Well, I'm looking for some person named Allister he has some files I need; you don't happen to know where he is?" "Yeh, he's my boss, follow me" he replies.
The sun beams in through the windows and there is chatter and people busy working all around. Plats hugs the walls contrasting with the light walls, it's so natural on this floor.
Liam knocks on the door before we hear a low grunt saying come in. 'Good luck' Liam mouths before walking of back to his job. I get the files off the old angry man and go back to the depressing floor.
"Here you go sir" I say as I place the files on his desks. He is working behind his computer his suit sleeves rolled up so I can see his tattoos and his hair messy from his stressfully raking his hand through it." Celeste" he says grabbing my attention, "yes sir", "You can go home now". I nod at his quick statement before hurrying out of his office.
