It was a 25minute ride to work and I got there 10minutes earlier, well Early enough for me to get ready all over again since the stairs exercise totally rearranged my look.

I got to reception looking like a mad woman and hoped they wouldn't call security on me.
I kindly greeted the The Beautiful Brunette who looked like a Victoria Secret model, her beautiful brown hair let down in curls,she wore a red silky open back dress which made her look like she was off to a gala dinner of some sort,
Jesus! you only get to see people like this in a magazine. she was perfection in its purest form.

"I am sorry ma'am we are not hiring any cleaners at the moment, and even if we were, you would first have to apply online at the cleaning agency." The beautiful Brunette said, she sounded so smug in her matte plum lipstick and dark smoky eyeshadows replying to my greeting.

I change my mind she is a Bish.

Offended doesn't begin to explain how I felt at that moment, although I do get where she was coming from, I did look like the female version of Shrek. oh wait!, we have "Fiona"  for that, and believe me when I say she's prettier and I should still compare myself to Shrek if he was a girl.

"Excuse me what?" I thought of making a scene but began to imagine how easy it would be for me to lose my job right there and then.

Taking in a deep breath to calm myself down I handed her the files and replied softly "no I am sorry you must have me confused I am here for the job."

"Oh" she said with a really rather sour look on her face.

Bitch!

She took the files and typed something in on her desktop, then she put the papers together and handed them back to me.

"Come with me, this way please" she said

Violently Swaying her very slim body in her pink Jimmy Choo stilettos, I couldn't help but feel intimidated by the way she looked.
Her look alone could tell you that everyone here meant business.

She led me to the elevator and we rode all the way up to the 67th floor
How big is this building?

I didn't get a chance to really look at it since I was in such a hurry.

I felt the lady 's eyes burn wholes in me throughout the elevator ride, she must have been assessing my outfit from head to toe.

From my messy almost sweaty hair, to my dust pink top neck blouse, my black pencil skirt and my navy blue flats, now that I say it , I feel pretty stupid too I feel. I looked like a kindergarten principal, but its not like I had much of a choice I only have so much to wear and Sam 's wife had only a few clothes that could fit perfectly. I literally looked like I had just stepped out of the Fucking discount Store.

The elevator stopped and it opened to reveal a very lonely, quiet floor I gasped at how huge it was but tried to contain myself.

"On your left is the bathroom, over there is where Mr Heandrason let's out some steam, his gym if you want to say."  She said, Pointing to a very dark room.

A room for gym! how much steam does one man need to blow off??  Now this is the part where the phrase "Life is not fair" comes in, I mean how does someone casually have a room for gym in the workplace?? I don't even have a room for room in my apartment.

"The big room as you obviously see is the board room" pointing to the room big enough to be a whole house. It had glass walls around it,inside, there was a very huge table surrounded by beautiful luxurious Chairs and on the wall was the biggest flat screen I had ever seen, I don't think I've seen it even in movies. I wonder who uses it since this floor is so quiet, must be extra special clients that need Some serious ass kissing.

"This here,"

opening the door to reveal a room as big as my whole apartment room

"Will be your office" she said

"Office??" I asked "I am an assistant I don't think I need an office."

"And where exactly will you work Miss Lawrence? Behind the door in Mr Heandrason 's office?" she sarcastically returned.
Totally shutting me up.
"Next to your office is Mr Heandrason's office only you and Mr Henderson will Have the keys to his office."

"Now for the things you should know about the boss,
Mr Heandrason likes his coffee prepared five Minutes before he gets to work, and he should find it on his table. He likes order so I hope you are good at organising." she sarcastically said looking at my messy self.

"If you need me just press the red button on your office phone,
My Name is Jessica Darling.
Welcome to Henderson Constructions Miss Lawrence.
Have a nice day" she said turning to leave.

"Oh" she said "make sure not to tick him off, he doesn't have much of a temper.

Anddd try to look presentable" with that said she disappeared into the hallway.

I let out a huge sigh wondering what this man would be like, definitely not expecting nice though, what kind of temper does he have to need his own personal floor, and a room for gym?? I might not know anything about running a company but I know for sure it don't need private floors with gyms in them

I set off to the bathroom with my almost make up bag which had a few lip glosses and lipsticks some baby wipes,and baby powder yup that's all I owned never really had the need for eye liners or blushes and all that. apart from the fact that I couldn't afford them, I just thought my skin didn't need them maybe its the poverty talking

I fixed my hair and tied it up in a tight bun, took out the wet wipes and started to wipe away the shine left by all that sweat I got from running good thing I didn't use foundation or else I'd look like melted wax crayons. I quickly dabbed my skin and re applied once again what used to be lipstick the purple really went well with my skin.I patted on some of that baby powder to mattify my face

Looking presentable enough, I set out to get Mr Heandrason 's coffee ready.
I took a look at the previous assistant's schedule and saw that Mr Heandrason was going to have a 10 o'Clock so I prepared all the files necessary, it was easy because there was a shelf of files organised alphabetically, then I got the usual casual water bottles and glasses they use in meetings.

When all that was done, I went to my office to try and learn More about the clients Heandrason had, going through previous files and records, even going the extra mile by googling the Clients so as to know them better.
