Rosé POV

Okay, this was definitely not the best idea in the world, maybe because I took it at three in the morning and simply acted on impulse and now here I am, without Los Angeles and without a dollar in my pocket.

But seriously, I had been in this situation with my parents for four years. They found out that I had kissed a girl and, in addition to being expelled from school, my life was completely controlled. I couldn't leave the house alone, nor have friends, nor use my cell phone in peace. My mother watched me every day, and also forced me to go to church.

That was the worst part, because everyone found out about my kiss and I was always treated like the girl who needed healing and that the "enemy" was taking over my body, what nonsense. Even after I turned 18, things didn't change, they only got worse, I was banned from going to college too.

Two days ago I turned 19 and after the celebration I went to my room. I couldn't sleep and I kept thinking, I couldn't stand that life anymore, so I took 3 thousand dollars that I had saved working over the last few years (working with a woman from the church and my mother would drop me off and pick me up there), quickly packed my bags and left, went to the airport and got a ticket to Los Angeles, yes, out of nowhere.

Halfway through the flight I realized what I had done and started thinking about everything that could go wrong, but at least I found a place to live three hours later, I had to pay the first month and with what was left I bought food so I wouldn't starve to death during the month.

My biggest problem at the moment is finding a job, at least it's a big city and honestly anything goes, as long as I can pay my bills and starting tomorrow I'm going to job interviews that I've already scheduled, I've literally scheduled with almost everyone who advertised in the newspaper, after all I'm going to need a lot of luck, my only qualities are having completed high school and speaking three languages.

....

The next day was a rush of going to meetings, but I only really had a chance at one, but I still had a meeting in the afternoon at Kim's Company. I'm supposed to be a secretary, it shouldn't be that hard, right?

I have a quick lunch and then go to the company, which is huge and had a long line of people waiting. I spent the whole afternoon in that line wondering if with so many options I would have any opportunity, especially in such a large company.

- Good afternoon - A blonde girl says when I enter a meeting room - I'm Lalisa Manoban and this is my secretary Jisoo

- Good afternoon - I say and sit down nervously.

- It says here that you speak three languages, Roseanne, but you have no experience - He says and I say, a little embarrassed - Why try to get a job here without experience?

- I simply scheduled job interviews for everyone who advertised in the newspaper - I say and she smiles.

- Trying your luck?

- Of course, I moved here alone three days ago so what I need right now is luck - I say

- You were the only one who knows how to speak more than one language so far and Jennie will probably be mad that I hired someone without experience, but I need someone here tomorrow and it's faster for you to learn how to work here than for someone to learn 3 languages - Speak

- Are you serious? - I ask smiling.

- Yes - Speak

- Don't get too excited, Miss Kim's secretaries usually don't last even two days - Jisoo says

- Don't discourage her - Lisa says - Jennie is a little difficult to deal with, but you can do well with a little effort, can you help her Jisoo?

- Yes, miss. Roseanne, how about arriving an hour early tomorrow? - He asks.

- Okay, but you can just call me Rosé or Rosie - I say and they agree.

- Good Rosé, see you tomorrow - Lisa says and Jisoo gets up and accompanies me to the elevator

- Is Miss Kim that bad? - I ask Jisoo and she laughs

- She's a pain, but we'll talk about it tomorrow, get a good night's sleep because you're going to need a lot of patience, she's going to be mad because you have no experience - She says

- Thank you Jisoo - I say and she smiles

- Don't worry

I take a taxi home, wondering if this Jennie must be such a bad boss.

When I got home I made my dinner and just like Jisoo told me I went to bed early, tomorrow will be a big day.

....

I wake up early, at five in the morning to be more exact, I would be at the company at six, so I get up, take a shower and have breakfast and go out walking since it was early and I had time.

*Rosie's outfit*

- Rosé - I hear a voice calling me when I was about to enter the company, I turn around and see Jisoo

- Hi Jisoo, how are you? - I ask

- I'm great, and you?

- I'm nervous - I say and we enter the company.

- Well, step one is for you to calm down, dealing with Miss Kim is going to be difficult. Obviously Lisa wouldn't admit that to you because they are friends - Jisoo says and we enter the elevator.

- Does she already know about me? - I ask.

- Yes, she was mad at Lisa, but she knows she needs someone so she's going to give it a chance.

- I don't know if I should celebrate - I say

- First of all, stay calm, take a deep breath. You can do it - She encourages me and I smile.

- Thank you - I say and the elevator opens.

- This is the top floor, only you two will work here. Miss Kim is quite a perfectionist and likes organization and is somewhat self-centered and rude - He says

- I'm going to work with the devil himself? - I ask and she laughs.

- Almost. This is your desk, you will answer the phone calls, saying the name of the company and your name and taking notes. You will also have to write down Miss Kim's things, meetings and everything else in a virtual or manual diary. - Tell me and I agree, so far it didn't seem so bad - Miss Kim is very demanding and wants everything done her way, try not to be late and do everything she asks the way she wants. If you last until Friday, she will see that she needs you and that it will be very difficult to find someone who adapts quickly.

- I'll try, Jisoo - I say and she smiles

- You're great, you'll do well - He says

- From what you say, she seems to be quite stuck up - I say and she agrees.

- There are people who think she is like that because she is intersex - Jisoo says

- Why does a penis increase someone's ego? - I ask and we laugh

- Who knows?

We talked until 6:20, then Jisoo came down to her floor, she said that Miss Kim is very punctual and that she would be here soon, I took a deep breath and started looking at my desk and found a manual diary.

I continue looking at work things until I hear the noise of the elevator opening and I feel my heart stop for a second.
