"
I got it!" I yelled the moment I entered Taylor's apartment.
"Got what?'' Taylor asked.
''The job. I was hired on the spot!'' I squealed happily.
''Oh my goodness! Congrats,'' she said and hugged me tight.
''We have to celebrate. And get drunk. Maybe you'll get laid tonight,'' she said after releasing me.
''Nuh-uh. I have to report to work tomorrow.''
''Tomorrow?'' Taylor asked quizzically.
''Yeah. I've been hired as the Personal Assistant of the Vice President of the company so I have to be at work tomorrow,'' I said.
''Personal Assistant?''
"Yeah,apparently they were impressed with my resume."
"Damn! Let's get drunk here instead," Taylor offered.
"No can do."
"Please?"
"Nope."
"Oh c'mon it'll just be one bottle," Taylor pleaded.
"Just one?"
"Yes," she said and went for a wine bottle from her bar.
She took it along with two glasses and came to set it In front of us. She poured out the wine and handed me a glass.
"To you getting the job from Kirks Empire," Taylor toasted.
"Cheers," I said and we downed our glasses.
"I didn't see the boss though," I stated.
"You'll probably get to see him tomorrow," Taylor said.
"Probably."
"I heard he was a hottie," Taylor gushed.
"So?" I asked and refilled my glass.
"You'll get to find out tomorrow"
"I won't if I get drunk and go to work with a hangover," I stated and she shot me a look.
"Just stating the obvious," I shrugged.
"Finish your glass and leave before you lose your job and blame it on me, " Taylor said.
I downed my glass and stood up.
"I'll be a floor away. Good night Tay," I said as she stood up and hugged me.
"Bye Vi. Should I come and help you pick your outfit? "
"I'll be fine."
"Go get 'em girl. "
I made my way upstairs to the next floor. Taylor and I lived in a condo on 5th avenue, New York. I've been on and off jobs since I was 18 but Taylor worked for McGyver's since she turned 17. She's from a rich family and therefore has no problem paying the exorbitant rent. I on the other hand had to work three jobs to pay. That is until I sent my resume to Kirks Empire.
They owned the biggest marketing corporation in the country and the third biggest in the world. The owner is Xavier Kirk Park. The branch that currently is my new working place is ran by Xavier's eldest son, Marquis. And I applied to be the PA/ Secretary for the Vice President of the company.
The condo was built five storey buildings, each two storeys high I n a circular way. And in the middle of the circle of buildings were a swimming pool, gym, lounge area, bar and a mini cafe.
As soon as I entered my room, I walked up to my closet to look for something presentable to wear. I had a ton of clothes to pick from but I wanted to make a good first impression: sassy diva assistant. Not dorky weirdo assistant.
I picked out two outfits and laid them on my bed and called Taylor to help me out.
"I'm switching to video. I wanna see," Taylor said.
"Okay," Taylor added after switching," what are the choices?"
I turned the camera to theorists on the bed.
"Sexy but casual or simple elegance?" I asked.
The sexy but casual was a white long sleeved top, black flair skirt that reached me mid thigh, black denim jacket and white converse. The simple elegance was a pale blue dress that wasn't fitting but hinted at my curves and also with the white converse.
"I think the sexy and casual will do. I would mean I know how to dress but casual is dope. You see what I mean?" Taylor decided.
"Okay fashion expert. Thank you very much," I teased.
"Working with McGyver's for seven years counts. I'm their top model and fashion consultant after all."
"Whatever. Bye," I said and hung up.
What does Marquis Kirk Park look like? And what's up with the Kirk Park?
I cleared my head and hung outfit for tomorrow. I went to take a shower and fell onto my bed in only blue shorts and a cropped white vest.
I saw ten missed calls from my mom, sisters and grandmother. I'm not on warm terms with my mom and three sisters. They call either to ridicule or criticize me or question my love life.
My sex life is okay because, I had a drunken one night stand two months ago but love? The last man I fell in love with married my sister instead of me. A sister that I am two years older than. My mom is proud of her but she and my grandmother don't see eye to eye. By she, L mean my mother.
"Hello mom," I said in a bored tone.
"I need money," Mom said rudely.
"You have enough. Even Violet sends you money every week and you married and divorced a Texas millionaire," I answered.
"I know you are too broke to even spare me a dollar. I don't need your money", Mom said snarkily.
"I need to sleep. I'm going to work tomorrow," I said and hung up.
I decided to call grandma.
"Darlin'. I missed you," Grandma said in southern accent.
"Same here. How are you doing?"
"Not so good. Did ya hear your sister has given birth? To a boy?"
"You mean Violet? I already know. She rubbed it in my face."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine," I lied.
"When will you visit?"
"Soon. I've gotten a new job. A good one. You are now speaking to the new PA slash Secretary of the Vice President of Kirks Empire," I said happily.
"Bless you. Really? Congrats," Grandma said.
"Thanks. Don't tell anyone."
"I won't spill. Ya can knock out ma teeth if I did," Grandma stated.
"Okay. Goodnight," I said and hung up.
I tossed my phone somewhere on the bed and sighed deeply. I can pay my rent, take care of grandma and finally open a savings account without hassle.
I snuggled in to my comforter and fell fast asleep.

"You can take my car today. There's no way I'm allowing you to take Ratchet and Clank to work," Taylor said when I allowed her into my apartment and tossed me her keys.
"What about you?"
"Brian is coming for me."
"Brian?" I asked blankly.
"My co-worker. He owes me a favour," Taylor answered me.
"Okay. Wish me luck."
"You are perfectly fine. And you look smashing," she complimented.
"Which red head doesn't?"
"Your hair is flaming red. I'm jealous of how cool your hair is."
"Cool isn't a word to describe flaming red."
"Lame. Now go before you're late on your first day," Taylor said and hugged me.
"Bye," I said.
We got out and I locked up and kept the keys in the flower pot at the foot of my door. I got into Taylor's car but not without apologizing to Ratchet.
My old Cadillac is reliable but Taylor's Lamborghini us the best option for today.
I hope I don't get fired on my first day.
🍁Any thoughts?
My first.
