Accidentally In Love

Chapter Seven

Chapter Seven

The next morning when I woke up I knew I had been restless in my sleep. The blankets were twisted up in my legs and my sheets were all untucked and messy, I guess the situation this past week had been stressing me more than I thought it was. I only ever had a restless sleep when I was stressing out, usually I slept like a log dead to the world, so last night had clearly been a bad night.

I climbed out of bed and started getting ready for the day, trying to figure out what I was trying to do, I should probably start looking for a job or something now that I knew I was never going to go back to Copthorne Global, Father would make sure of that. It seemed like a daunting task, I had never really seriously gone out on a job hunt, I didn't have a part-time job when I was in high school, I volunteered at a lot of places instead, and during college I had worked as a part-time receptionist before getting a teaching assistant job in my senior year, but I had more or less been handed those jobs by friends who had contacts. I didn't even think I knew proper interview procedure.

God even thinking about that was stressing me out, I could feel myself tensing up and getting antsy again. Maybe job hunting can wait until Monday, start out the new week all fresh and ready and relaxed, prepared for anything and a whole new me.

I nodded my head, yes that sounded like a good idea, I don't even think I would be able to properly concentrate if I had started doing some serious work now anyway, I was way too knotted up.

I quickly changed into some work out gear and tied my long blonde hair back into a braid to keep it out of the way; a good run on the treadmill always helped clear my mind. I dashed down to the gym on the bottom floor of the apartment complex, a place I regularly visited to let off some steam and get my mind at ease.

I still hadn't figured out exactly what I was going to do, I knew I had a bit of money saved up so I would be relatively safe until I found a new job, maybe I would have to find a cheaper apartment though, I doubt I would find a job that was paying as high as my one at Copthorne Global and without my trust fund to back me up, because no doubt would Father disinherit me now, it might be a long shot to keep it.

Where should I start looking for jobs though? Would other financing companies in New York take me on or would I have to branch out into a different sector? I'm sure being a Yale graduate would help me on that front, and like Mr Fletcher said, I did have three years' experience in working in business and corporations. I'm sure I would be able to find something. Somewhere. I shouldn't have to rely on my name all the time.

I turned the treadmill off then, I had been on it for over half an hour and my mind was still going around in circles. This wasn't helping like it usually would, damn it.

I went back up to my apartment, turning my shower on and waiting for the water to turn hot, maybe this would help, showers generally always had some sort of calming effect, maybe that was something to do with all the scents in my different soaps, lavender and jasmine and such, I had never really been one for aromatherapy or anything, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

It didn't help. I came out of my shower just as tense as when I went in, only now I had left over mascara smudged around my pale blue eyes and dripping wet hair to go along with it. God now I had to spend time drying it and making it resemble something acceptable.

It was not long until lunch time that I decided I needed to get out of the house, this called for extreme measures and I knew just the place to go, if that didn't relax me then nothing would.

There was an amazing spa resort a few blocks down from where I lived, I had been there a few times over the last couple of years when I really needed it, and it seemed this was one of those times. I booked myself in for the complete day package and waited until my name was called, it didn't take long, even with my late booking; maybe they weren't that busy today.
