🎧 Dark Red - Steve Lacy
I look at the clock for the tenth time in 3 minutes. I've been waiting for a quarter of an hour and I'm getting anxious. The office has no secrets anymore. I also did a small analysis of the personality that could have its owner: from the maniacal composure it would seem that he is a very neat man.
Finally I hear the door open: a man and a woman enter the room chatting. As soon as I see them I stand-up and introduce myself."Good morning, I'm Elizabeth Parker."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Bianca Locchi. You must be the new manager." The woman replies to me, taking some minutes to observe me.
"Exactly." I say embarrassed
"Let's sit down so we can discuss better the contract." The man exhorts us. I read the tag on his jacket and I notice that his name is Fabio Viso. We talk about the contract, after which Mr. Viso goes away, while Mrs Locchi and I remain in the corridor.
"And so you finally arrived at Ferrari, huh? The dream of many that only a few can live. I'll be clear with you: here we always work to the maximum and seriously. I don't want jokes of any kind. Work hard and honestly and your time here will also be the best."
"Thank you Mrs Locchi."
"Oh, please, call me Bianca and say 'you'. Let me believe I'm still young!" She says, giving me a snooty look.
Bianca made a good impression on me, despite the harshness with which she spoke to me. I have a feeling that under the breastplate, he's kind and easy-going. She is no longer very young, probably a woman in her sixties, but she is super cured and above all she is still beautiful. She has long white hair with a voluminous fold that highlights the straight, but not angular lines of her face. She's tall and slim and her outfit is definitely trendy, a little business chic. You can see she's a smart, confident, well-trained woman.
"This morning I have to meet Sainz and Leclerc with their personal manager. I want that you print dossier that Fabio sent you by 15:00. I'll waiting for you in the conference room at least a quarter of an hour before the drivers." Bianca informs me opening her eyes a bit to keep me on guard, then she enters one of the halls of the long corridor.
When she leaves, I'm a bit surprised because I don't know where I should go or how I should organize my work. Hopefully, I remember my mother's advice to fix my messed up brain: step by step and you can do anything. So I go back to the infopoint.
"Excuse me if I bother you again, could you tell me where I can print a dossier?" I ask to the girl I met before sitting behind the huge desk.
"Turn over the file, I'll do it".
"Thank you very much, you're a salvation!" I smile and look at her.
She's blonde with purple dyed strands and she has blue, super expressive eyes.
"I realized I don't know your name yet." I remember all of a sudden.
"I'm Sofia." She says, smiling, "Here are your papers.".
I thank and I'm going to leave when I hear a call back.
"Hey Elizabeth I was thinking of going for a drink tonight at a nice club. Would you like to come with me? I know you are new here and I really think that making new friends will help you fit in".
At first I don't know if I should accept the invitation. I don't know her at all and then after work I would like to rest. But there is something that makes me stop standing her up. So I show my extroverted and partying side and I say, "Why not? I'll give you my number so we can arrange the details."
"Nice. See you later!"
Shortly after I am directed towards the relax room to have a coffee and try to activate the brain before the meeting with the pilots. I'm rather nervous: I have no idea what to expect and I would like to make a good impression with both Bianca and the team.I have my espresso in my hands when I hit something... or someone!"Oh no! My shirt!" I yell without even noticing who I had gone to collide with.
