I took a long deep sigh as I pushed open the  large glass door at Axon's Chemicals. It was my first day at work and I was obviously nervous.  The way I tug at my perfectly tailored jacket suit and pressed the palm of my hand on my hair was evidence of my nervousness.

"Good morning, Abigail Peters?"
I turned around in shock to see a wide eyed Caucasian male, 6ft with  brown eyes. With my head jerked slightly back as to see the face of the guy I offered offered a smile and a nod . I stretched out my brown hands which he didn't hesitate to shake.

"I am Adam...Adam Wrightsville and I will show you to your office. " He said as he motioned me to follow him through the hall.

"As the boss ,Mr. Wellington, may have already explain , we have  a large dedicated  workforce here at Axon Chemicals and we always strive for improvement and smooth sailing  as it were" Adam said as we walked passed many offices which were extremely busy.

There were lots of person on the phone speaking softly to costumers.

I walked in  silence as Adam reiterated the importance of maintaining Axon's standard.

"Here we are," He finally said .

I had arrived at what would be y office for no less than 6 months as that was on the contract I desperately signed some weeks ago. I was to work at Axon's Chemicals as a research aid for no more than 48months .

"Thank you...Adam," I said walking to the desk and gazing around the office.

It was surprisingly nice. It was a solid room with no transparency to give a view of the surroundings outside but it made me feel confortable.
I sat in brown swivel chair where my eyes caught sight of a pink sticky paper. On it were my computer password and a brief note.
I quickly logged in and got started for the day.

It was just a few minutes into lunch break when I received a text message from my best friend, Rebecca .

>HEY DRINKS 2NITE

<UGH NAH

>OH ABI ...U NEVER HANGOUT ..LET'S GO RELAX ...PLZZZ ...FOR BECKY 😌😘

<HAHAHA OK BUT ONLY IF MY FIRST DAY AT WORK IS CRAPPY

>WELL WE KNW HW IT WILL BE...2NITE @8 KAYS BAR ..SEE YOU ABI

Becky was right. Within a  millisecond Adam returned in my office with a pile of work. With a smile he placed the stack of folders on my desk. Oh my his smile and the smell of masculinity was captivating. Although I knew today on my very first work day I would be over worked but at least I had the pleasure of seeing a charming face.

****

"What more can I get you two beautiful ladies?"  the bartender ask as he placed two napkins in front of us followed by two glasses.

" umm, " I said .

"Ohh look at that Mister, "Becky exclaimed as she rested her empty glass onto the counter.

I turned my head to the corner to the direction where Becky had pointed to with a nod.  At the left of the room stood a tall handsome guy with a muscular structure. He seemed to be alone as he was just standing there with a glass in his hand ,taking a sip every second and basically just posing and gazing.

"Gonna say hi,"Becky informed me as she stroded over to the left side of the bar.

Sighing I asked for another Curaçao and continuing sitting at the counter.

"Why so down? ,"

Astounded I swirled myself around around on the stool to see who had spoken.
Turning around I saw a male dressed in a plaided short sleeve shirt and a brown three quarter pants . He had black curl hair which bore resemblance to a sheep's coat.

I smiled warmly at him .

"Hey ," I chuckled.

"Hey ...want another drink?"  He
enquired.

"Nah ... I am on my second ," I smirked.

"Oh I see well I haven't even had one," He said revealing his perfectly white teeth as his lips parted and spread across his face.

We sat for about 15 minutes getting to know each other. His name was Abel and he was quite the guy.

"So ...Abel ..what do you do for a living?" I asked while diverting my attention to Becky who was just  lip syncing that she was leaving with guy she had just met.

With confusion embedded on my face I rose abruptly to stop her.

" I am a psychic  ," Abel responded before I walked off.

"Really ? Sounds cool" I commented with a chuckle.

"Yes I am the prince of the tricks ,"He indicated quite boastfully and seriously.

"Hold on," I uttered before racing up to Becky who was by the door by then.

After a few ill words towards  Becky's companion. I took my friend who was surely drunk by the hand. I returned to Abel with Becky who was murmuring and refusing to accompany me .

"Yes ..Mr. Psychic. As you may have already known but I gotta drop my wasted friend home," I said.

"Ok Abi but when can I see you again? Can I have your number?" He asked.

"Hahaha if you were a psychic you will know those answers," I replied before making my exit.

He sighed heavily  and flashed his alluring smile  before replying.

"Oh Abi I know I will see you soon and I will get your number on our next encounter."
