The bus came to a stop and I alighten quickly.

There were a lot of activities in the lively streets of New York. Tourist walking about taking pictures, business men and women going about their ways.

Another day in the busy streets of New York.

Quickening my pace, I entered the modern interior decor skyscraper building.

The interior was of dark color walls with murals on it along with black couches with tiled floor. At the centre of the room stood the receptionist area.

Walking towards the elevator, my pumps clicked on the tiled floor. Finally reaching the lift I got in and pressed the 30th floor.

"Hold the door!" A manly voice called out before the door close. In came a blond hair, blue eye guy, he was really good looking (but not the greek-god good looking). He looked about in his late twenties.

"Thanks." He said smiling.

"Ashton White" he said holding out his hand.

"Valentina Anderson." I said shaking his hand.

"A beautiful name for a beautiful girl. Nice to meet you Valentina." He said placing a kiss on my hand.

"You too."

"So, it's the first time I see you around, are you new here?" Ashton asked.

"Yeah, Today's actually my first day here."

"Oh, are you the new PA for Mr CEO?"

"Yeah"

Ding, the elevator came to a stop on Ashton's floor.

"Well this is me,hope you have a nice day." he said.

"You too" I replied.

"Hey, maybe we could hang out sometimes?" Ashton asked.

"Sure"

"So, bye" he said before the door closes.

"Bye"

Standing alone in the elevator for the next five minutes, the elevator finally came to a stop.

Walking out the elevator I observed the decor of this floor.
It was just like the first floor but as a lot more glass windows.

Right there stood a middle age woman
behind her desk working.

"Hello." I said walking up towards the desk.

She smiled warmly at me and said.

"Goodmorning dear you must be Valentina? "

"Yes"

"Right, Mr Hernandez is waiting on you in is office. Just go straight down the hall and you will see his office door."

"OK thanks." I said walking down the hall.

"Oh and dear, good luck you will definitely need it."

"OK" I smiled at her and give a small wave.

Coming to a stop in front of the door I assume is the CEO's, I gently knock until I heard..

"Come in." A familiar voice called from behind the door.

Oh lord please don't let that voice be him. I thought.

Turning the door knob I
pushed the door open. Stepping inside I was frozen where I stood.

Sitting there looking all high and mighty was the arrogant prick from the cafe still looking handsome. Behind a oak desk he sat doing paper work with his face down.

"Have a seat." He said in an accent I recognize has Italian not even spearing me a glance.

I sat at the chair infront his desk waiting for him to say something.

He finally had the decency to looked up before quickly masking his shocked expression.

"Oh its you" he replied dryly.

"Yep, its me ,the one you through your coffee on." I grumbled and he glared at me ignoring what I said.

"I want you to schedule an appointment with Mr James at one tomorrow."he said and continued pointing out things he wanted me to do.

"Are you taking down everything I said because I don't like repeating myself." He growled at me.

"Yes I am" I replied. Waving my small notebook so he could see.

After listening to him telling me what to do I finally got out of that place. Time flew by quickly until it was time to go home.
Before leaving Mr prick summoned me to his office. Entering his office I saw him working on files as usual.

"Sir I'm about to leave do you want me to do anything else?" I asked.

"Yes." He said."In the entire building I'm sure you can see people looking neat and professional. I don't want my workers especially my P.A walking in the building looking so untidy. I don't want to face embarrassment. So I suggest tomorrow you should come looking like my assistant not some homeless person. Are we clear?? " He asked.

"Crystal" I spat.

I was angry because its his fault I was wearing coffee over my blouse.

"Good, now what's your name?" He asked disinterested.

"Valentina Anderson" I replied through gritted teeth to stop myself from shouting at him.

He did not even say anything just dismiss me with a wave.

I was beyond furious, I stormed out the office grabbing my bag then went my ways home.
