[C] In Your Arms

first day

I was hired by the execs to be a producer for AC360° a few weeks ago. Today is my first day, so I packed up my bag with my lunch, phone, and some important necessities I need to bring, like my ID. That building is where I will work today, the Time Warner Center.

The ID was scanned as I entered the building, and there he was—Anderson Cooper—waiting for me.

"Hi! Are you the new producer?" he asked.

"Y-yes..." I answered shyly. It seems like he is a nice person.

"I'm Anderson, wanna kick this day off with a tour?" he asked again.

"Y-yes..." I hesitated to answer.

"Come on, let's go," he joyfully said. "What's your name, by the way?"

"A-Ainsley. Ainsley Smith," I answered. I didn't know my face was blushing at the time, but unfortunately he saw it.

"W-why are you blushing?" he embarrassingly asked.

"Uh...it's nothing..I'm pleasured to meet you, sir," I said in a very soft voice.

"Don't call me sir. Call me Anderson," he said with his face glaring at me.

Oh my God...what should I do now?

He was there, gracefully lending his hand.

"O-okay..."

I lended him my hand, and so we went throughout the building. It was lunchtime already, and we were both hungry, and so we came to the cafeteria. There were all sorts of CNN personalities there, including Don Lemon, Alisyn Camerota, Wolf Blitzer and more. It felt awkward at first, but he told me that I should be used to it.

"So, wanna go to my office?" he asked.

"N-no, thanks," I said shyly.

"Looks like you want to go," he replied. We both ended up on his office.

"Wow, y-your office is so interesting," I said as I began to look around.

"From now on, you have access to my office. You can come here whenever you want. Keep this clean while I'm not around, and please don't touch anything," he said confidently.

"O-okay," I said, somehow frustrated by what he said.

"Any more questions? Oh, I forgot! You will have to be with me on my overseas reports."

I was stunned. "What?!"

"So that whenever you have plans to take my path, you would know the basics," he said.

I nodded and left.

"Thank you."
