Innocently in love

First days

Work for the average employee at Bianchi corp starts at 9:00am. For me, it started at 7:00.

I had to wake up at 5:30, take a shower and contemplate over an outfit. I had something planned in my head, but it looked off when I tried it on. I ended up finding something I liked. Black pants, and a white blouse. it looks professional, I guess.  

At 6:20, I left my apartment and got onto the subway to get to My office. Bianchi was a luxury brand I had wanted to work for since I was a kid. I loved the shiny shoes and gorgeous clothing I would see models wear, and ever since I had the idea planted into my head, I knew I had to see it through. 

As a kid, I could never afford Bianchi. I could only dream of the elegant patterns and refined stitching. At 19, I bought my first item from them- well, it was a small keychain but the joy I felt in that moment couldn't be compared to anything I've ever felt before. Dreaming of luxury may be pathetic, but it was one step closer towards my dreams. My dreams of being able to retire my parents, my dreams of not having to worry about affording food for the next week. 

I was always grateful for my parents. Their only child chose to go to fashion school instead of working, even though we needed money. They always supported me no matter what I did. Why is it that the best people always get the short end of the stick? I would give up my life for my parents to live happily with no worry of money. 

People say money doesn't buy happiness, but they don't know what it's like to be poor. 

Lost in thought, I barely realize that I've arrived at my stop. Its 6:40 now. I panic and quickly get off, practically running in my heels to get into the building on time. Panicking, I ask around for directions and find my way into the office of the Chief Executive Director Bianchi. 

Ever since the founder, and the father of the current CEO moved on to becoming the chairman, passing the company down to his son, Bianchi's designs took a completely different turn. They were- simply putting it, better. People complain that the new CEO didn't stick to the original elegance of Bianchi but I think he replicated it with a modern twist. 

I knocked on the office door, before allowing myself in. I was previously informed of all my duties, and told to go straight to Mr.Bianchi's office. My heart was pounding out of my chest as I opened the door, after a couple of knocks. 

I tried to keep my jaw off the floor after I layed my eyes on him.
