~ Chapter 3 ~ I Got The Job

A few days later...

My cell phone rang from a 212 NYC area code. I quickly picked up and Mrs. Lopez, the lady from HR informed me that I was the new CEO's personal assistant. I squealed in happiness and twirled my cat, Charlie around. Just in time love, a few more days without a job and we had to live in the streets. I was so tired of looking for jobs with no luck. This position had a competitive salary and excellent benefits. It was a great opportunity indeed! I had to report to the HR department to fill out lots of paperwork and complete an extensive background check. For once I was hopeful that things were starting to change for the better.

The first day of work went by very smoothly. Mr. Wade and Sonia showed me most of the tasks that I needed to complete daily. I was sure the new CEO had his own way of doing things once he took over.

I walked around the 30th floor to get to know my surroundings. Mr. Ross, the VP had an office next door to Mr. Wade. He had a beautiful young personal assistant named Diana, her attitude sucked and could be smelled from a mile away. She was ferocious and was the one Sonia warned me about.

"Hey newbie, do not touch my stuff. Is that clear?" was the first thing she said when we met. She was beautiful, short with red hair, had a slender body, and was very well dressed. Meanwhile, I was tall, and curvy some days I felt like an ocean whale depending on the outfit. Sometimes circumstances force us to do our best with what we had. The only clothes I had, were hand-me-downs from Susie or second-hand stores. Anna and I shared almost every piece of clothing we had. I walked around the cafeteria on the second floor and recognized the secretary that worked in the lobby. She smiled and waived like all cliche stories, she asked me to sit next to her to eat. Silvia was pleasant and a very funny girl. 

 After lunch, I grabbed my things and headed back to the office. I was so into my thoughts like always that I almost bumped into the handsome man. He was walking with the Vice president of the company. I apologized and gave him my best smile.

"Miss Jones, hope you are adjusting well to your new job," said the VP.

"Yes, sir. Thank you again for the opportunity."

"This is James Wade, soon to be your new boss. He will be the new Chief of Executive Office. Please assist him in any way possible"

"Great to meet you Sir"

"The pleasure is all mine, Miss Jones"

We shook hands for what felt like a minute, and let me tell you that electric pulse that everyone feels in every romance book was real.

"Excuse me miss Jones, Mr. Wade and I have an important meeting to attend. We will see you tomorrow during our morning meeting." Mr. Ross said and both left

Things were about to get more interesting here!
