Noemi's Pov

I'm at work and I feel sluggish, it isn't a busy day but regardless I think I had to much to drink lastnight.
Mom and I were having a good time, doing some karaoke, while we ate and drank champagne.
We haven't really done anything in a long while since she's being helping out a friend sort some stuff out for her new business.

"Yes maam", I tell the lady on the other end of the line inquiring about ads.

"No unfortunately we have no ads under 4.99, it's the company's policy to keep it strictly."

"I understand, and you said you'll be adding three more?", i query with her.

"Okay that'll be 35.96, we'll send you the bill after it's up on our website, thank you for calling."

I hang up the phone, I'm exhausted.
I slump down in my chair thinking about how the rest of the day will turn out, it's been five months at least, I'm surely getting the hang of it, but I need energy.

Energy. Maybe coffee?
Maybe a gossip busy would get me straight but everyone seems a little busier than me. Interesting.

Thank God the line isn't busy today, I'm free from the ad warriors, maybe in two years I'll start doing some serious business.

It's so peaceful in here.
I lay my head forward taking a lil break from waiting around.
I won't be long I think to myself.

"The boss is coming"
I hear from somewhere.
I chuckle.

"You're funny", i say

"Bling Bling Bling Bling Bling"
That sound I love it, dance dance dance dance.

"Wake up", I feel someone shake me, I shrug them off.
"You're spoiling it".

Then it hit me.

"Bling Bling Bling.."

I grab the phone from the holder.

"Thank you for calling Zerulu, my name is Noemi, what's your name and how may I assist?"

I'm about to grab my mouse then I realize there's a figure next to me.
I slowly turn to face them and there he is standing right next to me with his hands in his pocket.

Mr. Zerulu.

Shxt.

He was there all along?? I thought it was dreaming.
Are you telling me they couldn't have woken me up sooner, shxt.

I've never slacked off on the job, now look where some late night fun got me.

"No maam, once the purchase is made it will automatically show up.

I try to act normal but I'm freaking out, I don't know why he's glancing at us watch so much like I'm holding up his time.

Dar-net I clearly am.
I try not to turn my head.

"Is there anything else I can assist you with maam?"
"Okay thank you for calling and if there's any more glitches please feel free to call us, we'll be happy to help", i add. "Bye bye".

"You, come with me", he walks off and I trod behind him after switching the call queue so the calls will reroute.

"Lea get her some coffee.", I hear him tell a brunette with a pony.

This is not good.

We're at his office door and he walks in and offers me a seat.

"Did you come here to work or did you come here to work my assistants out because you're not professional?"

I assume he's referring to the girl he asked to grab the coffee.

"I'm sorry Mr. Zerulu, it won't ever happen again."

"I know it won't." he states.

Cocky much.

"Are you aware that there's thousands of people that want your position right now?"

"Millions even", i agree with him.

"Good", he lets out.
He continues, "your position now might not seem like a big deal but that's how you make your way to the top".

His assistant walks in and places the tea in front of me. I slowly nod as to say thank you.

"I understand sir, I promise it won't happen again."i try to convince him.

"How many times have you seen me around your department specifically", he ask.

I know where this is going.

"Not many times sir."

"And this one time around you've shown how unprofessional you are, are you aware of how bad that is?"

"Yes sir, I'm aware", i start tearing up a little, I feel so bad, usually this isn't me.

Through the glossiness of my eyes I can see him turn to face the windows and I quickly wipe my face.

"Go back to work and I hope you understand that if this happens again I'll have Oliver have you replaced immediately."

"Thank you sir", i barely let out, rushing to the bathroom to get myself together.
I can't believe I almost the job I've work so hard to get.
