ENTER THE COMPANY

[JANUARY 2015]

"Yes, you must be his favorite employee...

Once you get accepted, you will leave my home.

I'll find you a solo apartment in Madrid.

Steven is aware that I'm living here in Barcelona.

He should never have any idea that we know each other.

You must live in Madrid, so he won't find you suspicious when you start approaching him."

"I know, right."

"These coming weeks, I'll teach you to drive. We'll buy your own car tomorrow."

"Really? Yey!"

"Well, it's part of the plan... And hey, prepare yourself today, we'll buy your office attire, and all the other things you'll need. You must look more formal. I also bought you a perfume."

"I don't wear perfume, actually."

"I also noticed that, but you must... Then, I'll give you tips to pass the interviews."

[MARCH 2015]

Welcome, self, to VenZon Corporación!

Isla, the financial analyst.

The coworkers are just fine.

It's good to meet people with different personalities.

Introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts.

There are also weirdos, serious, comedians, etc.

Here I met my former classmate, a very friendly and sweet girl, Jasmine, who became a friend of mine.

We're the ones who eat lunch together.

We became closer as time passed.

Then, here's a project of the company that's about maximizing profitability. Our group is composed of six members: me, Charlotte, Emma, Zoe, Toby, and Rey.

We started thinking about it...

Everyone contributed their ideas, especially Emma, Zoe, Rey, and me.

Then, here's a sudden request by Steven and Jazon to present the output to them, though it's still ongoing.

I thought it would be among the four of us who contributed most that would present, but guess what?

This bratty Charlotte insisted on presenting it to Steven and Jazon when we had the meeting, making the impression that most ideas came from her. LOL.

Another toxic trait I discovered about them was that when I put a wrong question in the file wherein, we have individual tasks of the same aspect, two other coworkers expressed their concern to me by telling me that they heard conversations about it, saying that it's wrong.

To me, what is the point of saying it out loud when I'm not around and my other coworkers who were not part of the project were hearing it?

Why not just send me a private message so I could correct it myself?

Besides, it's just one mistake out of five questions I constructed there.

But the funny thing is, when I opened the file, all the other questions they put in their respective tabs were like the questions I put in there.
