Arianna was excited about her first day. She was going to meet a lot of people one of which might be the culprit behind Travis' condition. She pulled on one of the fancy suits she had bought with her pay and pulled her hair in a bun. Applying a little make up, she headed out.
"Bye Abuela! I'm running late"
"Good luck on your first day dear" Her grandmother cheered appearing in the hallway
"It's not really my first day. I mean I still work for the same people" Arianna explained
"But it's your first day in the big company is it not? I made you a good luck lunch" she placed the small bento in Arianna's hands and Arianna kissed her good bye.
One great benefit of working with BM motors was that there was a bus that commutes its workers through and fro and Arianna thought it was the bare minimum for a company that built cars. Although, since it was her first day Mrs. Juliana offered to pick her up.
Arianna strolled out just when Kevin and Mrs. Juliana turned the corner. She slid into the back seat with Mrs. Juliana and they headed the company.
"Listen now, I've told Travis and Jasper they would be getting a new secretary but I have kept your identity a secret from every other person. To them, you have been the same secretary that have always worked there so they don't go digging up your past"
"You don't have to worry about that, I am not only an expert at uncovering mysteries I'm also an expert at keeping them. You only found my identity because I wanted you too"
"How?" the fact that Mrs. Juliana didn't argue made Arianna sure she didn't underestimate her.
"Well can't go around spreading my secrets can I" Arianna said with a wink.
"Then can you tell me why?"
Arianna faced forward observing the traffic "I guess I thought it will be fun" Mrs. Juliana wanted to say something but Arianna cut her off "Oh look we are already here"
The building was so tall you couldn't see to the top without endangering your eye in the sun. Arianna wondered how she didn't know about BM motors before. Between keeping a low profile and making a decent living it must have slipped through.
They drove into the underground parking lot while Arianna adjusted her hair and makeup, adding more gloss.
Walking in, Arianna began to doubt her theory about Mrs. Juliana not being the heir. As they walked people parted ways and gave a small bow. If her theory hadn't been confirmed it would have been thrown straight in the bin.
Mrs. Juliana had this superior aura around her similar to that of her father. She wondered if Travis will eventually get there. There was a great gap between she hoped he will be able fill before it was too late. She promised to do her best to help him with everything she got.
They arrived at the fourth floor. It wasn't as crowded as the previous floors. It had pure white walls and more organized desk and serous looking staffs. None stole Mrs. Juliana and Arianna any stares as they walked pass. Turning a corner they walked into a large office there was a desk just at the entrance. It was made with sparkly gold porcelain with a cushy office chair behind. Beside it was a glass door. It appeared blur to those looking in but Arianna guessed it would be clear from inside.
"This is your station, I hope it is to your taste" Mrs. Juliana motioned to the desk. Arianna ran her fingers over the surface of the large desk. It was spotless, no surprise. Arianna didn't have such fancy taste but was happy Mrs. Juliana identified it as something that will be to her liking.
"It's amazing I love it!"
"Great! Now to meet your co-workers or bosses but I doubt they will want you to regard them as the latter" Mrs. Juliana clasped her hands and called out "boys?"
"Your mom is here" Arianna recognized Jasper's voice from behind the door. The door pulled open revealing Jasper and Travis behind. Arianna couldn't breathe. Although it was inappropriate to say, but the looked beautiful in their office wear. They wore matching white t-shirts, but Travis had a navy buttoned blue waist coat over his shirt. The first two button of his shirt was left unbuttoned revealing a set of gold chains around his neck. He brushed his hair to the back but a few strands escaped over his face his skin sparked but his eyes were piercing.
Jasper on the other hand had an ash waist coat he had unbuttoned it and let it dangle, he rolled up the sleeve of his shirt revealing his set of expensive looking ornaments. His hair was so curly and sleek like he had just come out of the shower.
"Arianna?" Jasper began. Arianna's knees almost buckled the way he called her name. why did he call her name like that? It should be a crime.
"You are back!" although Jasper started towards Arianna first Travis beat him to meet her. He gave her a big hug and spinned her around. When she was back on her feet, she was drenched with his cologne which she didn't necessarily hate. Jasper just waved at Arianna awkwardly. He wanted to hug her and spin her around too but it would just be weird now.
"Travis please try to avoid spinning your workers around going forward. It isn't very formal" Mrs. Juliana scolded. Jasper nodded in agreement. Traitor. " well Arianna get settled, I know it's your first day but you do have work expected of you. Boys I leave her in your hands" Mrs. Juliana said making her way to the door.
"Juliana wait" Arianna met her at the door.
"I just wanted to say thank you" although was an agreement Arianna didn't take things for granted.
"If I was even regretting, the smile on the boys' faces warmed my heart" Mrs. Juliana smiled and that boss lady look was gone. "I was wrong, the most appropriate phrase was I leave them in your hands" Arianna nodded with a smile.
Mrs. Juliana left leaving them alone.
"Arianna how are you here?" Jasper asked. Trust him to take a logical approach.
"Am I that incompetent?" Arianna asked folding her hands and throwing his an accusing look.
"No but you are a therapist not a secretary. It's very different work" when Arianna didn't drop her look, he looked to Travis "back me up here"
"Forget about that, I'm so happy you are here Arianna. I was feeling really nervous but now that you are here I feel like everything will be fine"
"Wow thanks man I feel very much wanted" Jasper sulked. Arianna gave him an encouraging tap on his shoulder before poking her tongue at him
"Arianna do you want to see our office?" Travis asked. He has sparkles in his eye like kid that wanted to brag about his new toy.
"I don't see why not. Lead the way!"


Something is about to happen. I feel it, do you?
