Business in New York City - Michael Clifford

Chapter 1, first day

It was my first day as an assistent for one of the owners of the biggest company in NYC, C&H. To say I was nervous is an understatement. I've heard that my boss was a real asshole. so that was going to be a small challange. 

As I walked inside of the tall building, I suddenly felt so small. Tall and strong men were filling the whole first floor, running around with papers or suitcases in their hands. Women were also there, they were tall too! Perhaps because of their high heels or because I was pretty small. 

I went over to the elevator and pressed the botton. An older woman stood beside me as we waited for the elevater to come down. She looked rather nice, not so stricked as every other woman in the building looked like. Perhaps she would help me to find Mr. Clifford's office? I could ask her later in the elevator when it weren't so many people in the room.

Finally the elevator arrived and we both stepped inside and the woman pressed the bottom to the top floor. Okay Avery you got your chance, ask her!

"Hey I'm Avery Henderson, Mr. Clifford's new assistent. Do you think you could show me to his office please?", I looked at her, smiling politly.

The older woman looked over at me and smiled warmly, "Of course dear, I'm Mrs. Smith". She took my hand and shook it firmly before letting go and looked at the elevator door. 

I smiled in relief, knowing I wouldn't have to worry about getting lost in this big place. Normally, I'm not that polite towards people, but come on, she's an older woman, I couldn't be rude or sassy towards her. 

Mrs. Smith put her soft hand on my back as she lead me through the hallway and stopped by a gray door, I thanked her before looking after her. 

Okay, this was it. Mr.Clifford's office. I knocked softly on the door.

"Come in", he yelled and I walked in before closing the door after me. 

"Aha you must be my new assistent, right?", he stood up and walked towards me. 

I eyed him. He was actually pretty hot! With that tight suit-jacket and pants, his white shirt that showed off his strong torso.

"I wouldn't be here if I wasn't", the comment slipped out of my mouth before I could stop myself.

Mr. Clifford glared at me, "I don't like that attitude". He walked over to his leather chair again.

"Sit down", he pointed to the black chair in front of his large desk. I rolled my eyes to myself and sat down in the comfy chair.

"Don't roll your eyes at me Miss", he stated. Already taking a dislike in me. I bit my tongue from rolling my eyes again as I nodded shortly to him.

He then told me I would be finding a system in his papers today. Easy enough, I thought and looked up at him.

"You couldn't find anything more challenging for me to do?", I watched him carefully as he sat up straight and looked me in the eye.

"Shut that mouth before I do it for you", he stated. Woah, feisty. If he wasn't my boss I would defently take a liking in him. However, he was my boss and I couldn't get close to him. If that means I had to be sassy and rude towards him then, I would be just that.

"Woah there tiger", I rolled my eyes once more and let out a chuckle. Mr.Clifford huffed and looked down at his papers.

I watched him as he looked through them, wondering where I was going to work. Like he was reading my thoughts, he told me he hadn't worked out where I should work just yet.

"Of course", I muttered and rolled my eyes before looking around. The office was quite big and fanzy. Bookshelfs, a big window with a great view over the city, black leather couches with a coffee table between them. A flatscreen TV was placed on the wall by the couches. And of course his big ass desk. His desk was filled with papers, a really fanzy laptop and a few photo's.
