My alarm blares at seven a.m. scaring the living shit out of me.
I knock the beeping clock to the floor, a groan escaping my lips.It takes me a good two minutes to realize it's Monday morning,the day I begin my new job.
I leap out of bed, rushing into the bathroom.I shower quickly and dry my hair,letting it fall loose in chestnut waves and past my shoulders.I put eyeliner and mascara on my eyes, trying to make myself look professional and slightly classy.
I go to my closet and pull on a white blouse and a black shirt along with black pumps.I stare at myself in the mirror and take a few deep breaths.
"You can not screw this up,"I say to my reflection.
And after a short pep talk,I grab my back and lock the door behind me.
On the way out of the building,I pass Yugyeom's door and push him away from my mind.Just because I have a rude neighbor doesn't mean I'll have to interact with him.That is, unless my noise level isn't low as he pleases.
I get into my car,the cool Portland air making me shiver a bit.Even though it's mid September,temperatures are already dropping.Not that I mind too much anyway.I love cold weather.
The drive is short to Crystal Publishing,thanks to my apartment only being a few blocks away.I mentally thank Jaebum for the thousandth time for helping me pick out such a fantastically located place.
I park my car accordingly and walk into the sleek glass building.I take the elevator to the sixth floor and walk into a spacious office,stopping at the reception desk.
A brown haired woman with shocking blue eyes smiles at me from the desk.
"Good morning,Miss Park"she says,nodding a bit.
"Hi" I greet her.The plaque on her desk reads "Marion Johnson"
She smiles at me."I'll let Mr Greenman know you're here."She picks up her phone and presses a few buttons,speaking my name into the receiver before hanging up.She hands me a manila folder."Mr Greenman put aside this manuscript the other day for you to start when you arrived."I take the folder into my arms, unable to stop the smile from spreading across my face.
This is it.This is really happening.
A few moments later,a distinguished man with glasses and dark hair walks up to me,sticking out his hand for me to shake.
"Park Y/N,nice to see you,"He says as I shake his hand."I'm Dan Greeanman,COO."
I nod. I hadn't realised he was ranked so high in the company.To think I'll be working directly for the COO almost makes me dizzy.
"I'll show you to your workspace"He says.I nod again and follow him across the office to the back corner facing a wall of windows.
"Over there is accounting"Mr.Greenman says. "Your desk is bordering where accounting works.Next to accounting is HR..."
He goes and I nod politely.He finally finishes talking and smiles at me.You will be expected to read four to five manuscripts a week.I know it sounds like a lot,but judging by your resume,you should be up to the challenge.Your first paycheck will arrive to your residence on Sunday.I look forward to seeing your work in copy editing,Miss Park"He says as I set my things down my desk.
"Call me y/n"I direct him.
He nods and smiles.Of course he turns slightly."If you need anything, my office is past accounting, over there."he points to a rather large office to my side. "My phone extension is 783."
"Thank you."I say.
He nods again before walking past accounting and into his office.
I sit down at my desk and begin arranging my things.I pull my laptop out of my bag and set it on my desk, taking this opportunity to look at the other people at my desk cluster.
