The First One...

Chapter 6

'Broken upon the rocks,
Let the beating waves..Come drag me down Oh..
Oh but to find out the reasons why,
It's enough to make you wanna try For one last night

I had a dream I was dying
But I found nobody there
And if one last night is all that we've been given
Lets live it like we care..
For one last night'

I heard my alarm song but still thought i am listening it in my dreams with him...i woke up with a jolt.

Great! Even my morning starts with him now. I turned off my alarm frowning as to how my alarm songs was apt for my current situation.

As i showered i decided i would start new from today. I will do my best this coming year at work.

With positive vibes i started dressing myself for the day. I was feeling good so i chose my favourite sleeveless plum top with black knee length pencil skirt. I always wore minimum makeup at work. So i did that and ensured i got everything i need for work in my handbag. Putting my black bellies to go with my dress. I gave myself a quick glance. I looked awesome and quiet ready for today.

I went downstairs and saw ana in kitchen, seems sops left early today. I glanced at my watch, it was just 8 am. I have 45 mins to reach and my office is just 20 mins from here.

"Hey ana, good morning" i greeted her.

"Morning sammy" she greeted gigling.

"Seems someone is in a good mood." i sang winking at her.

She laughed on that and said, "Yeah, its Jim. He called me just now and asked me for dinner date tonight.

"Ohh..thats nice dear." i said truely happy for my friend.

She smiled at me. I saw she was preparing breakfast. I helped her in toasting bread while she prepared omeletes for both of us.

We ate with small talk planning for the weekend and then i left for work as she had some time to leave for work.

I drove my car to the office halting in between to drag my hot cappuccino from starbucks.

I parked my car in my usual paeking spot in office parking and entered the foyer cum main reception. I was greeted by Mia my friend and receptionist.

"Hey sammy, morning..how are you doin?"

"Hey mia, morning dear..i am fine..how about you?..i greeted her.

"I'm great...and you will be great too.. soon when you head to your department." she said beaming.

"Why? What is it?.." i asked her in confusion.

"You will know when you get there." she simply stated and pointed me to the lift.

I stared at her for a moment then went towards the lift. I was greeted by multiple people in the lift itself. I reached my floor which was 10th floor of this 15 floors building. BS International was a big firm. I was working at its headquarters ofcourse. There were other sub offices too at various cities across U.S.

I entered the lobby and went towards my department..

Once i entered my department. I greeted everyone which seemed to be very enthusiastic today and went to my cabin slowly.

Under Finance department there were financial planning/analysts dept, accounts dept, audit dept and compliance dept.
I was the head of financial planning/analysts dept. Though i have to co-operate with other departments too. We all heads of departments were under Head of Finance Dept. which is now Veronica.
Our departments were seperated though. Each team member was having cubicle.There were 5 analysts and 5 financial advisors, so in all 10 team members in my team. My cabin was right in the corner.
