Saved By The One & Only

'Happy Birthday'

Amy's POV:

"What happened?" Violet is the first one to speak as she sees me take a seat.

"He said that he wanted to know if I was up for working today and that I need to make sure I see Liam tonight.... Ohhh and that he has some 'friend', who by the way is a woman, who is in need of his help at the moment." I say to them both, although clearly the disdain is dripping off my words.

"Did he say who it was?" Mikayla chimed in.

"No. But then Anabel came in and told him that this 12 o'clock was waiting for him downstairs."

Both of them looked confused as Mikayla pushed my salad in front of me.

"Anyways let's focus on the Gala or the fact that you two just got promoted." I say to them with a wide smile.

"This is truly a shock but I am definitely not complaining about the upgrade." Mikayla said just as Violet agreed with her statement.

"Let's eat while we discuss some ideas for the Gala." Violet says as we all agree.

The rest of the day flew by in a blur.

We discussed the recent promotion of both Mikayla and Violet and what their new jobs would entail while also focusing on the details of the upcoming Gala.

We finalized the date being the second to last Friday before everyone goes on vacation. The theme would be Christmas, of course, and we also solidified the guest list.

I finished up most of my work for the rest of the week and have already created a google docs file between the three of us. All of the topics have been typed in there and the targeted times of completion for those tasks.

As I walked in to my apartment after work I felt absolutely drained. After meeting with Dr. Hayes and him conducting a check up for me, I had stopped by a gym close by that I decided to check out. It was state of the art and I decided to sign up. I figured I had nothing to lose and could start implementing a few workouts here and there to start getting in shape.

I had a set routine now; Monday through Friday 9-4 and weekends off consistently. I figure I'd fill the evenings up with a couple of workouts.

After making myself dinner I quickly made a call to my mother and soon enough we were catching up.

The end of the week flew by in absolute blur.

Mr Anderson hadn't shown up to work again, according to Anabel who informed Mikayla, he was handling business outside of the office.

The chat with my mother went well as she asked what I had planned for my upcoming birthday next month.

I hadn't even realized how fast October was around the corner, let alone what I would even be doing for my birthday. These past 5 months have flown by and yet so much has happened since the moment that I started working here.

The end of the year was fast approaching. Had someone informed me January 1st that my year would be coming to a close with this much having happened I would've laughed in the face of whomever was telling me this story.

I chuckled as I informed my mother that I had nothing planned yet but that I would keep my options open for any ideas. She reminded me that I was young and that I should go out and have a good time with my girlfriends while we all can. I promised her that I would try just as she filled me in on how she was having a great time visiting her other family members. We ended the note with me revisiting the opportunity for her to come visit me in December or that I would go visit her.

My days were filled with a subtle routine that consisted me going to work, the gym after and then me going home to make myself dinner to end the night.
