Tia's Pov
Birthdays come every year. Anniversary's come every year. There is no stopping time, days repeat endlessly.
So like everyday. I woke up to the sun seeping through my curtains, stopping my blaring alarm, I checked my phone to see I received a few birthday wishes from close friends to which I responded.
After my shower, I got changed into a beige dress that I recently got, my favourite gold watch, a snake necklace with some diamond earring. Finding my black stilettos, I grabbed my black trench coat and my Marc Jacobs Tote Bag, which is one of my favourites when I bring documents home to review.
Grabbing breakfast and coffee at Layla's, I made my way to the office.
As usual, greeting were passed around as we all made our separate ways to work. Today was a calmer running day since there wasn't a lot of meeting nor was there any important deadline to met.
As around lunch, my phone started ring.
Incoming Call
Krissy
"Hey, Tia. Happy birthday!!!! Also, are you eating?" Krissy asked, she the mother like figure in our friendship group.
"Thank you. And yes, I am eating now. What about you?" I asked, shoving a spoonful of pasta in my mouth.
"Just ate. Had a burrito. So are you busy tonight?" she asked, knowing I didn't have any plans.
"No, not really. I will just have a movie night or something. Why?"
"Well, since it is your 29th birthday, we thought that it would be amazing if we go to that new bar that opened up. You know the one called, The Eve, the one that everyone has been raving about."
"Yeah, it recently opened. But don't you need to have to a membership, since it's an exclusive club?"
"Right, you do. But Ryan, has a membership, since he invested in the company that owns the bar. That's why we all are going to go. We have booked a private room there as well. So birthday girl are you in? Or do we need to get you adult-napped?" Krissy asked.
"Your not going to take no for an answer are you." I ask.
"No, babe, I am not."
"Fine, but your guys are going to have to help me find something to wear."
"Yes. Perfect. I'll text you the details, and I'll bring the girls to yours before we go to the bar. We'll have an amazing time." she says excitedly.
"Okay, Kris. But, I leave work around 8. So if you do get there early, let yourselves in." I say knowing she has a spare set of my keys.
"No worries. We'll probably meet at around 8.30 at yours. Also, I am inviting the guys as well," she says.
"Sure. I'll see you then." I say.
"Bye, babes. I'll call you later," she said ending the call.
After the call, I continue to eat my pasta and then continued on with my work.
Just before 7pm, I knock on Mrs Kors' door. Since we usually debrief before getting off work.
"Yes." He said from across the room.
I open the door and enter.
"Mr Kors, Shall I start the debrief?" I ask looking at him. His suit jacket was laying on the couch across the room, he had folded his shirt sleeves to his elbow, removed his tie and had undone the top two shirt bottoms, as well as, putting on his reading glasses. This look was a constant in look that Ace would show, when he works.
Looking up, he nodded his head, as a sign for me to continue.
"We still haven't heard from the Bali group nor the group that had left for the business trip to New Zealand, therefore I have sent them a short email to which they have 3 days to respond. Mr Ryan has asked for a meeting, which I have schedules for next Friday, which slightly overlaps with you parents dinner, as you didn't want to attend the dinner. Mr Alexander is coming tomorrow around noon to measure for the new suit and shoes, that are for the gala coming up. He requested that we send him a colour pallet or theme to go for, by the end of this week." I said before concluding the debrief.
"Thank you for the over lap of the dinner and meeting. For the colour pallet choose a something as you usually do Miss Nikolaou." Mr. Kors says, "as you know if you have finished your work you can take the rest of the day off. Also happy birthday Tia."
"Thank you, Mr Kors," I say with a smile, "would you like me to get you anything before I clock-out?"
"No, I am quite alright, but I do have something to give you," He says as he reaches inside his desk draw and stand up.
"I know this isn't much, but for my best assistant so far, I got you a birthday gift," he says handing me a Tiffany blue bag.
"Oh my," I say as I open the box from the bag, to see a Tiffany knot Pendent and matching earrings both in rose gold with diamonds.
"Mr Kors, you didn't have to do this, I really can't accept this. It's too much." I say pushing the gift slightly back into his hand.
"Tia, you been working as my assistant for a long time so as reward take this gift. If not it will some how appear right before you when you least expect it to."
"Uh, Thank you so my much. I don't know how to repay you." I say, slowing receiving the gift then looking between him and the gift.
"It isn't much. Thankfully you like it," Mr. Kors says as he shakes his head and smiles, "now go."
"Thank you so much, Sir." I say walking out.
Once I reach my desk I pack everything away and tuck the gift I got into my bag before heading to my car.
A/N: Hello My amazing readers,
Yes I am back. Sorry for the long wait but here is chapter 2. It's more of a filler chapter, since I sort of still have writer block.
Enjoy this chapter that took nearly three months to write, due to my procrastination, exams and just life in general.
