Chapter 2

Audrey's P.O.V

Today is the day I join. Needless to say, I'm very nervous. Not to get late, I quickly get a shower and get dressed. For breakfast, I eat cereals, again. Lastly, I put on my velcro shoes. I don't know how to tie laces, and they are easier to do anyways. I head out for my new job.

Luckily, I live a twenty-minute walk away from the building, so I just walk.

"Nice to see you again, sweety. How can I help you today?" The kind reception lady asks me. She was here when I gave the interview too.

"I-I'm supposed to join to-today." I don't know why I always stutter when I'm nervous.

"You got the job! Well done, sweety! Can you please tell me your name so I can give you your ID?" The lady asks me. Her voice and sweet tone make me feel small.

"Audrey Williams, ma'am." I tell her smiling, proud of myself for not stuttering.

"Such a sweet name." The lady looks into her desk and produces an ID card, handing it to me.

"Go to the seventeenth floor, sweety. And please call be Grace." The lady instructs me.

"Thank you, ma- Mrs. Grace" I thank her.

"Welcome, sweety. You can call me just Grace, I'm not that old." Grace tells me, laughing a bit.

I blush profusely. "Ok, Grace."

"Have a good day, Audrey."

I walk away mumbling 'you too'.

..

I'm dumb founded when I reach the seventeenth floor. I don't know where to go. I don't like situations like these, where I don't know anything. I stand in front of the elevator, tears forming in my eyes.

"Good morning, Audrey?" A soft and sweet voice pulls me out of my thoughts. Turning around I see it's that boss lady.

"Good morning, ma'am." I mumble before looking at the floor. The floor looks real interesting all of a sudden.

"Why are you standing here alone?" The lady asks me. But being too nervous and shy, I can't answer.

"It's not nice not to answer, sweety." A finger under my chin gently makes me look up at her. The boss lady looks amazing. She has long dark brown hair and hazel eyes. The blue pantsuit that she's wearing, looks gorgeous with her fair skin, adding more to her beauty.

"Sorry." I squeaked. "I don't- I don't know where to go."

"Well, let me help you, then." She stands up straight. I didn't even realise she was crouched the whole time. Oh my God! She is so tall.

"Come on, dear." She stretches her hand towards me.

I hold her hand and we start walking. Her holding my hand, makes me feel like a little girl. I literally have to skip my steps to match with her long strides.

Finally, we walk up to a desk.

"Here, Audrey, this is your desk." The boss lady smiles down at me.

"T-thank you, ma'am." I crane my neck up, smiling up at her.

"Welcome, dear. Now, if you have any problems, please come to me. My office is right next." She crouches down to look in my eyes

"O-ok, ma'am." "I ap-appreciate it, ma'am."

"Audrey, sweety, you don't have to worry. There's is nothing to be nervous about." She cups my cheek, smiling.

"And dear, please call me Millie." She walks away.
