Why am I here? Seriously how did I get here?. I would have never applied to work here if I had known what I know now. When I started working here; I thought I would grow, and even get promotions based on my performance. I was eager to learn; I started working here, and I realized it was a facade. I believed the lies they told me. I believed them because I had nothing else, My life is at a standstill. I am twenty-eight years old, and I never imagined my life like this. I was hoping to be further along in my career by now. I only took this opportunity as an assistant because they made me believe I could grow in my field as a systems engineer.
It has finally come to this. I've been here for two and a half years. Fighting to be seen, fighting to be heard. Each and every time I see an opening for the position of my dreams. I'm looked over and overworked. I am more qualified than most. Yet I'm the one treated like a whole ass assistant. I didn't graduate from one of the top universities to be overlooked. I didn't bust my ass to be a fucking assistant; No! I got looked over. The position that I fought tooth and nail to get; was not only handed over to someone not even close to being qualified to fill the position. It was handed over to my boss's girlfriend. We started at the same time, doing the same thing. Everyone was shocked when they announced their relationship, but I wasn't. Why? because I was the one doing both of our duties, I took over her files and her clients. Hell, I even took over his fucking coffee order, and for what? For her to steal the job title I was working my ass for. The crazy thing is when she got the job, she still didn't do any of her own work. I did. She became an I.T systems engineer and I got her workload added to my own. In a way, I should have seen this coming when I told her about how I applied for the position. She wasn't happy for me; she stood there silently.
I know that if I stay here; I will never be able to grow. I am destined for greatness, and I can't stay here.
"Ezra, I have been calling you for three minutes, what could you possibly be thinking about?" I start to grab the files that are needed for today and his cup of coffee. By now my thoughts are broken, as he becomes my main focus.
"Here!" I place the items in his hands, as he stares at me, watching. "Mr. Shin, If I could have a moment of your time." Steady and simple. Today I take my destiny into my own hands because I am meant for greatness. I remind myself. Don't be nervous.
"Follow me!." I become hesitant, but I know this is what I have to do. I follow closely behind him; we enter his office which feels warm and looks welcoming, but that's mainly because of Clarissa. A cold shallow man sits behind his desk. "Close the door, and have a seat" I quickly closed the door and made my way deeper into the office. When I approach the chair, I look down at the brown leather.
"I think it's better if I stand." I place my hands on the head of the chair. Mr. Shin only nods his head as he gestures for me to continue. "I...I'm resigning as your assistant, I will be giving you my two weeks' notice. Thank you for allowing me to work with you." Just like I had practiced "It has truly been a pleasure working with you" I easily lie. "I left my notice on my desk; when I go to lunch I'll be sure to turn it in." Mr. Shin's eyes turn cold and the atmosphere in his office becomes stale. I take a sharp intake of breath.
