Can You See Me Now?

~[1]~

Niobai held her controller in her hand. The controller was built for her hands to hold. That is what Queertech built. After all, the name meant "strange technology". Niobai put the controller down and checked the time on her phone, 12:00, she was going to be late for her meeting. She went and put on a dress that looked formal-ish. It was a pencil skirt. Niobai put it on and then threw a black sweater over it. She threw her hair into a side bun and headed out her door, locking it then heading towards the bus stop. thirty minutes later, Niobai was in the recreational area of Queertech HQ, as she called it. That is when Shea, a 23 year-old employee, who was about to get a promotion, as she said, walked in.

"Hey! Catherine, right?"

"Um.. actually its-"

"Cool. Can you go grab me a caramel macchiato from Starbucks? you know how I like it. I have a meeting with the company owner in ten minutes."

"Um... Actually, I'M-"

"Here is 15 dollars. Now hurry!"

Niobai wanted a coffee, so she went anyway. She got Shea a coffee, tipping the barista the rest of the money left over and headed back next door to HQ. She walked over to the elevator and rode it to the meeting floor. She was greeted by Hestia, the company owner's soon-to-be handler. Hestia stopped her and, after about fifteen minutes, let her into the meeting. When she opened the door, she heard the words, "And here is our company owner, now." A 35 year-old man followed her in the room and many people rushed to meet him. After about 5 minutes, the room learned that he was not the company owner, but the security officer. Then everybody turned to look at Niobai. There were faces of shock, confusion, and disproval. That was when Shea came up to Niobai and apologized, or so it seems. There was a note passed to Niobai as Shea shook her hand. It read 'Liar, who are you, really?'

These people didn't believe Niobai until she had showed them her contracts for the company. Then came the questions of her age. 13... THIRTEEN YEARS OLD! That was when everyone changed their attitude to get on their boss's good side. Too bad this thirteen year old had been through too much because of the 10 people in this room. After all, the company paid for Niobai's education, her home, and her heart. By her heart, of course, she meant her 2 year-old boxer puppy named Key. The name, of course, was inspired by Kingdom Hearts.

The company immediately was shocked to learn the identity of their boss. People were sending flowers and fruit baskets, which Niobai immediately took to homeless people, sharing their beauty with the world. Niobai requested her identity be kept a secret to the world, so she was able to keep it a secret. Who would believe a 13 year-old could start a company that was this successful?
