OFFICE ROMANCE. (BxB)

Chapter 3. HEADACHE FIRST DAY AT WORK!

"Follow me !"

Yo! Why are they so rude?! Everyone in this company is rude! Oh , by the way , it's a jewellery and wedding planner company, I don't think I mentioned that before.

I follow the man that looks and behaves like he fought with his wife the whole night and now he's lashing his anger at other people .

He leads me through the maze of sparkling glass counters, all of them filled with rings, necklaces, and glittering stones that catch the light.

It’s like walking into some sort of fairy-tale treasure vault, but instead of dragons guarding the gold, there are wedding planners zipping around, looking way too busy to even glance my way.

I try to act cool, like I’ve totally got this, but my palms are sweating as we make our way through the rows of polished desks, each one neatly set up with a computer and stacks of folders that look alarmingly official.

Finally, she stops by a desk near the back, drops a small stack of papers on it, and says, “Here’s your desk.”

It’s nothing too fancy, but it’s got a chair, a screen, and, most importantly, it’s mine. I sit down, settling into the chair and trying to look like I belong here.

But before I even get comfortable, I see a figure approaching—a woman with a sharp expression and a stack of papers.

"Thank G*d this place is finally occupied, check this papers out and bring them back in a minute , we don't have much time!" she says briskly, dumping them onto my desk with a thud that feels personal. Not a single word of explanation, not even a smile. Just… papers.

What am I even supposed to do with this papers??

I stare down at the documents in front of me, and then glance around, hoping someone will clue me in on what I’m actually supposed to do with all this.
But everyone’s absorbed in their own screens, typing furiously, or flipping through wedding portfolios like they’re solving some high-stakes puzzle.

“Um, excuse me?” I try, leaning toward the guy at the next desk. He doesn’t even look up, just nods vaguely like he didn’t really hear me.

I look at another planner a few desks over, who’s hunched over, muttering something about flower arrangements and guest lists. She just flicks a hand in my direction, as if to say, “Figure it out.”

Great. Just great. I pick up the first document, squinting at the endless list of dates, numbers, and names. It’s like some bizarre code, and I have no idea if I’m supposed to sort them, file them, or just stare at them until they start making sense.

"Excuse me ? Uh.. I kinda just came in a minute ago and I was given this , can you at least tell me what to do with them.. I mean, it's not like I don't know , am just a little bit confused now!" I try my last luck before I return this things to someone who gave me , and get the f*ck out of here! I ask the girl sitting on the other desk next to mine.

I thought working in a wedding planner company would be fun . I wanted something fun! Something I'll enjoy doing and however how much my parents wanted me to do a medical course or an education course,, I refused , all my family work in those fields, my dad and mom are surgeons, and so is my sister, my older brother is a lecturer in Egertor University.

They wanted me to join in those but hell no! I didn't want something boring , at some point I even told them that I wanted to be a model but they told me that , that's not a career!

I told them I wanted to be an actor and they refused again! So I refused to let go of this , I thought it'll be fun , just watching people who are in love, but now...

"Shit! This is not done yet?! We're really f*cked up!" She says worriedly. "This wedding plan is supposed to be set in 30 mins, and it's when we just realised that we messed up something so big! So we just started the planning afresh before the clients find out that something is wrong!
Am gonna send you the new set, what you have to do is confirm if everything in it is in this papers and mark any mistake you find , understood?"

" Uh.. yeah I guess.." I say still confused but not that much!

" You can just work from your phone now , give me your email!" I give her and she sends immediately and then she goes back to what she was doing.

●●•You are not stupid Julian , you are a smart , adorable boy and I know you can do this , just calm down●●•  I tell myself quietly, looking at the documents and turns out it wasn't something from Jupiter or mars , my mind have mastered what am supposed to do , I work in a blink of an eye and ping! Done! I confirm again just to be sure .

" Where am I supposed to take them? Am done." I ask her.

" Transfer them to the designers of different departments , like each with where they belong!" She says still looking down! What on earth is she saying?! I wonder.

" Where is that lady that gave them to me?" I ask wanting to take them back to her because she didn't tell me anything to do with departments or whatever!

"Dude! Can't you see how busy I am?! How am I supposed to know? She's the head of our department, so walk around and look for her , or ask someone else."  I decide to leave her alone and do what she has asked me to do _look for her around.

As I walk around , I see her coming in through the door.

" Uh.. am done confirming, there's only one mistake , here they are." I say giving her the papers but she ignores me!

" That work need to get to different departments and you are here telling me how you've finished confirming?! Let the department that need to do corrections know that they need to do that! Do you understand?!" She asks annoyingly walking away.

Okay this is bullshit! I can't do this ! People ordering me around like am some kind of a slave! I wasn't there when they messed things up!

I walk out heading to the CEO's office.
