Working Among Vengeance

Chapter 1: Just Another Day at Work

Warning! This chapter will have depictions of sexual assault BE AWARE!

          Here I am, getting ready for another boring day at work. I put on my usual white, button up shirt with my black pencil skirt. I see myself in the mirror and realize how plain I always look compared to the other girls at work. 

          Just then, my phone rang, it was my horrible boss Mr.Basol telling me to get my ass over at work. I was a receptionist or a 'personal assistant'  to him. I was told I was replaceable but my job was time consuming and annoying. Always arriving at work early and having extra assignments over my vacation days. 

         I quickly grabbed my apartment keys and flagged down a taxi. It was time to go to my boring job with horrible coworkers. They loved gossiping but most of all they loved the head of the company, Bruce Wayne. We worked at one of his many branches of companies and the only person who had met him was my boss Mr.Basol. 

         Unfortunately, work was usually the most interesting part of my day since I had no love interest and no friends that lived nearby. I sigh to myself thinking "Another day, another dollar."

        There it was, my work building peeking up from behind the trees as the taxi came closer. This was Mr.Wayne's many buildings he owned. I never really cared for meeting him since I had only planned for this job to be temporary. I awaited to be yelled at by Mr.Basol telling me that I'm still late even though I am showing up thirty minutes early. 

         I walked in and no reaction came from Mr.Basol, maybe he was busy right now. I went to my desk and noticed everything looked so clean. I guess we had a new cleaner or something because it was the first time this place was spotless. I had checked the schedule for my boss and noticed we had a special guest today. I never wrote down who it was I just remembered that I had to rearrange all of Mr. Basol's schedule to fit in the meeting today with the special guest.

         After I finished rearranging everything again for a future meeting, my annoying coworker Ronni showed up. He always tried making small talk to me but he always seemed like a pervert. He would make comments about my appearance and loved to talk to me about his sex life. I told HR and my boss bout this and they said that's just how he is. I even told Ronni that it made me uncomfortable but he said I was just whiny and didn't like him.

         "Hey baby," Ronni said in his best try at a seductive voice "why didn't you dress up today for the special visitor? If you want I brought some clothes that would fit you. It's in the back of my car but it will come at a cost."

       This was unsettling to me why the hell would I follow him to his car and why would he say that in front of everyone at my work. I did notice that everyone did dress up wearing their best office attire.

        "Who is the visitor that everyone is dressed up for?" I ask. If he was going to talk to me I might as well get some useful information about him.

        "You silly girl, the person who is coming is none other than Br-" he was cut off by some handsome man.

       I didn't recognize him so I guess he was either the special guest or a new employee. 

       He spoke softly with a deep, rich sounding voice "Excuse miss, is this man bothering you?"

       It was like a light was shining over him, I was finally getting help from someone. Maybe now I could get away from him forever and never be assaulted again. It was a miracle someone came to help, the sheer joy I experienced was almost indescribable.
