I believe I start my new job today, I'm working in the nice building now versus my old one. That one had some interesting workers. My friend told me to work here for the time being, she's trying to get into a higher position.

I've worked as an assistant before but nothing like manager or what not. I heard the CEO here is an introvert which is very surprising. He doesn't talk to many of his workers, just his assistant, his dad of course and a few others.

If I want to get to that position I have to network with some of my coworkers.

But till then I sit behind a cubical , with my stuff animal and a plant my niece gave me. She's the cutest thing ever.  I have an older brother who had a kid a few years ago, so my niece is three now.

She loves coming over to my house to have little sleepovers. We play with dolls and eat s'mores.

"Miss Leilani."

I turn my head seeing a guy standing there with a notebook in his arm.

"CEO wants to speak with you."

I raise an eyebrow, I've only been at this company for four months and the CEO already wants to see me. I stand up from my chair, I follow behind the young man.

He takes me to the elevator, we go up some floors to this long hallway. He stops at the door at the end of the hallway, I would be lying if I said I wasn't out of breath.

He knocks on the door and tells me to walk inside, then he walks away. No don't leave me here ,I don't know what I'm doing here.

I hear someone clear their throat, I turn seeing the CEO I suppose pouring a cup of water.

"Leilani." He says out loud, he walks over to his desk that slowly walk to.

"Have a seat."

"Oh you're not in trouble."

I finally breathe again, he laughs a little bit. I adjust myself into the chair after being relaxed.

"So how does this sound."

I look over to him as he has his hands together on his desk. He makes the desk seem small, he's a very built guy, he probably workouts all the time unlike me.

"Did you want to apply to be my assistant?"

I widen my eyes then look to the side. I play with my fingers trying not to have a smile creep to my face.

"I have three other people that have applied already but I'm asking you specifically." He says as he points to me, I look to my lap he takes the time to watch me.

"I heard good things about you."

He did?

"Can I ask from whom?"

"Someone who works here and your brother."

"My brother?"

"Yea, I didn't know you were his sister, we've been friends for years."

What are the odds, that the CEO and your brother are great friends. He never even mentioned it when I told him about this place. I guess it was so I could apply myself, I mean my friend did mention this place to me.

I guess my brother wanted me to work my way up and not be handle something right away, he is like that sometimes.

"I take it into consideration."
