Soulmate 2.2: Reality check

"Good morning." I wished my coworker.

"Morning, Melody. You look dead." Maria didn't hesitate to criticize.

"I didn't put five layers of foundation on my face indeed." I smile at her. People around us laugh quietly, but not enough that we don't hear it.

Maria groans and looks away, back at her computer. I put my bag down and start looking at the many tasks I must complete today.

"Have you heard about the new head Manager?" Maria asks.

I sit down not paying her any attention.

"Melody, I'm talking to you." She poked my chair with her red pointy heels.

"About the new Head manager?" I start my computer.

"Apparently, he is extremely handsome. Brown hair, not too much muscle and a bright smile. My ideal type to sum-up." She claps her hands excitedly.

"Maria, we're here to work, not to flirt." I whisper.

"That's why I don't like you. You are way too serious." She grumbles.

I don't listen to her complaints any longer. Maria had been changed of departments several times. Everyone complained about her and didn't last longer than a week. We had been beside one another for three months now. I didn't mind her voice; it was like background noise.

"We'll have interns too." That sentence catches my attention. I look at her.

"No." I say firmly.

Maria looks at me as well as the other people in the department. "Melody, it's not up to you." Maria is a bit shocked.

"It's not mandatory and definitely not in my work contract that I shall overwatch intern. I have enough work as it is." I didn't want to have an intern for a very simple reason. I sucked at dealing with younger or older people and at making sure that they didn't make any mistakes.

"Miss Bridge." A cavernous voice startled me and I automatically stood up.

"Yes sir." I said automatically before turning around.

Behind me, a man looking pissed as hell, with black hair pale skin was narrowing his eyes at me. "I'll introduce myself, Min Yoongi new head manager of the Marketing department." He spoke loudly "And here are your interns." He shows forward a guy that is two head taller than me. And that looks scary. "Niki will work with Miss Bridge and Sunoo will work with Miss Thompson. I hope to hear good results and no complaints." He glares at me.

I close my eyes. First of all, he must have heard everything. Second, it wouldn't be the first time that a manager gave me hell. I looked at Maria who embraced the intern who gave her a tight smile.

"Hi." I flinched so strongly that Niki took a step back.

"Hi." I whispered "Apologies." I brushed a hand in my hair. I needed to snap out of it "Niki right?"

"Yes." He bowed "Miss-"

"Melody. Call me Melody. I despise formalities. Your desk is right beside mine. Did you bring your laptop with you?" I ask him. He looks a bit stunned and nods once. "Good, we'll complete all the administrative tasks today and make sure that you have access to everything."

He nods once again. He sits down and I push my chair beside him. I read a bit of my dossier as he fills out his personal information. I also send email to every department. Once he is done, I check everything once again.

"You did a good job. Let's go to the reception, to get your access card. Follow me, please." I stand up and almost bump again into Mr. Min.

"Is everything alright?" He asks Niki.
