CEO John Mulberry

JOHN

I was so nervous, today was the first day of my new job, I was working for a very wealthy man, in a very huge bank in New York City. I was a PA for John Mulberry Enterprises at Mulberry Enterprises.

I was nervous simply because I usually cleaned businesses and house for a living, but it was enough to pay my bills etc.

I was able to put my business degree to good use. I was always a shy person, when I cleaned, I was alone. Here in the business world there were people everywhere , so that made me nervous.

I was determined to not let my nerves ruin my first day. I was excited to start the day, before I left home , even I was ready for this job.

I woke up at 7am, I wanted to give myself plenty of time so I jumped in the shower and dressed for the part. I was wearing a loose fitting, white blouse, which I tucked into my navy blue pencil skirt, the skirt just reached above my knees and I topped it off with a black belt and two inch heels in black.

I was so nervous, I didn't know if I should eat something , then when I thought about it, I pictured all sorts of scenarios where I didn't  eat and disaster happened.

After I finished eating, I put on my make up, nothing major just a bit of pink lipstick and some mascara, I looked at the clock to see it was 8am and I started at 9am, I knew then I had to get going.

I was so glad I got up at 7am, I had enough time to catch my bus for work.

Yes, I said the word bus. I had my license but I had no car. I was having money troubles and since I live in NYC it gets expensive, I wanted to make it on my own but I had no money to buy myself a car. Now that I had this job  I was hoping it would get me out of it.

I finally made it with 10 minutes to spare. I hadn't met my boss I was working for, I only knew where my floor was and that his name was John Mulberry, I haven't actually met him yet, I knew he wanted a black coffee on his desk at 9am sharp, then I was going to meet my boss, for the first time. I was then to start my tasks for that day. P

I knew the coffee shop owner, he told me before I started working for the company. I found out how he liked his coffee so I was one step ahead.

'Henry, can I have a hot black coffee for my boss please.'

'Hey Kiddo, you got the job, I am so happy for you.'

'Thanks.' I smiled at Henry, he was the only father figure, I had in my life after my dad died. I ran into this little this little coffee shop when I first moved here. Henry was the first person I met and became friend with.

'So, are you having a coffee?' Henry asked.

'I'd love one Henry, but I don't think I should. I'll come back on my lunch break.' Henry passed over the coffee. 'I better go, thanks.'

'See you later Kiddo.' So I got back to the office , put the coffee on the desk, I sat down moving my legs behind the other and waited. Right on the dot my boss walked into his office. Totally ignoring me, he stood behind his desk looking through some papers. Then he finally looked up.

'Miss Watson I presume.' He looked down to the coffee cup, then he looked at me. At this stage I stood up.

'Black coffee?' He said looking straight at me.

'Yes sir.' I replied. I took a quick scan of my boss, he was wearing a charcoal suit with a pale pink shirt and a thin black tie.

'How did you know how I have my coffee.'
