False Fairytales

Chaptire Neuf

Kierra POV

I sat and waited outside of my new boss's office, I decided to go with a simple black pants suit with my white blouse and my Saint Laurent patent leather opyum heels,
I wasn't going to lie and say I wasn't nervous because I am, but my anxiety didn't override my excitement this was the career that I was working my whole life for and finally I made it.

"Ms.Washington?" My thoughts were interrupted by my boss who was now standing in front of me with his hand held out to greet me. I stand and greet him with a polite smile
"Mr.Micheals, hello how are you?"

"Well I'm as good as this place will let me be" He said jokingly "Follow me, I'll show you to your office"

I stood to my feet and followed his lead as he told all the in's and out's of the office. He filled me in on who was who, what was where and finally where my office was. When I entered my office I couldn't help the tears that formed in my eyes, I had came so far. Hell I survived a damn heart attack and now I'm standing in my own office.

"Beautiful isn't it? Wait until you see the view" My boss said as he picked up a remote off of the desk and clicked a button opening the curtains behind the desk. Once they were open I couldn't help but to keep my mouth agape; Mr.Micheals continued to speak but my attention was captured by the view of the city that I was seeing outside of the large window. It was so beautiful yet so distracting, I guess it was something I was going to have to get used to.

"Ms.Washington?" He called getting my attention once again

"Yes?"

"Do you understand?" He asked not realizing I hadn't heard a word he said

"Y-yes of course" I nodded

"Okay great! Make yourself comfortable, we have a meeting discussing next weeks project in half an hour I want you in there so you can get the flow of things"  He smiled politely

Mr.Micheals was a nice young black man, he looked around 6'0 and he seemed to be in good shape, he didn't wear a suit like everyone else, he dressed on a more casual business side wearing a button down shirt and black jeans with Steve Adams on his feet. Expensive yet simple, I didn't realize I was staring until he waved his hand in front of me.

"O-Oh, I'm sorry yes I'll be in there" I said shaking my head in embarrassment and walking to my desk.

"No need to be nervous Ms.Washington, you're going to be great" He reassured me making me nod before he made his exit.

I sat at my desk and just looked around my office, as I looked around I couldn't help but to get emotional, I had to share this with my family. I called my mom on FaceTime hoping she would answer, just as I thought she wasn't going to answer I heard the phone pick up.

"Hey baby! How are you!" She smiled brightly into the phone making me smile.

"Mommy you're never going to guess where I'm at" I said excitedly

"Well from the looks of that view-"

"Hi Key! I miss you sissy!" I heard Kai interrupt my mom making me laugh.

"Hi Kai Kai I miss your face too sissy, have you been doing good little one?"

"Yes, when are you coming home? Mommy and MiMi misses you too we want you back!" She yelled into the phone.

"Kailee stop all that damn yelling she can hear you" My mom said looking at her with a death glare.

"Sorry mommy" Kai said giggling making me laugh

"I'll visit you guys whenever I can sissy and we can go to speed-zone how does that sound?"

"Yay! Yay! MiMi, Key said we're going to Speed-zone tomorrow!" I heard her yelling as she ran out of my moms room.
