Behind the mask

It was 6 in the morning , when I got to the airport. my mother accompanied me till an officer hold her back saying she couldn't come any further I stopped and took my time looking at her without saying anything because this might be the last time I see her in real life in the many months to come. As if she went through my thoughts. she smiled and said with a sad tone "Mommy will figure out a way to see you again. Now go you are about to miss your flight."

I hugged her one last time, told her I loved her then rushed my way to the plane with tears running down my cheeks.
After long hours that seemed like eternity in an economical class which was all we could afford now after the tragic bankruptcy our company went through, I finally got to my destination.

AIRPORT CHARLES DE GAULLE - PARIS France

I walked my way out the airport determined to seek revenge for my parent's effort that went in vain, my determination got stronger once I saw him. chairman Johnson's eldest son and heir was here to greet me personally I must admit that wasn't expected. I gave him a fake smile and he just ignored it and looked away.

"Hello. Miss Klaus Hayley. How do you do? I'm James Allen, Johnson junior's assistant" Greeted me the man standing next to him.

"pleased to meet you Mr. Allen" I said while shacking his hand

"Please, call me James" he said with a smile

"Enough with the introductions, James get her baggage and drive her to the hotel so she can start her shift"

I looked at Johnson junior and he seemed to avoid eye contact with me, which was weird actually. I might need to investigate that out. Does he know who I am and about the bankruptcy that occurred thanks to his father schemes. If anything I hope that it is not the case. He shouldn't know who I am, not yet.

"But Sir she just got here, she might need to rest"

"Don't worry Mr. James I too can't wait to start" I reach for his dark sharp eyes and smile I can't wait to bring him down I thought to myself, to my surprise he smirked and maintained eye contact with me for I don't know how long until he broke it and looked down.

What's that? You are telling me this is the future CEO of the Johnson's great empire, even I who is submitting to a mid-level manager job at his father's company can do better. I let out a small chuckle then got into the car behind him, I feel like im about to get a lot of fun.
