what is up with these billionaire CEO's man?

Chapter 4

I reach the Hot Dog Joint, only to see Nick sitting on his car's deck, our usual orders sitting right beside him.

"Hey!", I say, still walking towards him, and he motions after me, urging me to walk faster.

"Come on, come on! Tell me every single detail!", He clears up a space fir me, and I sit up.

"Pass the mustard, will you Jim?", Nick asks.

We've known Jim since we've known each other. This place was our safe haven, an April and Nick place.
I looked around, and took in the feeling of the falling asleep sun, the moon peaking out from the clouds, the city lights around, and ofcourse, my hot dog.

"Nick told me about you April. Congratulations on getting a job! I knew you could do it.", Jim says as he takes the mustard sauce away from Nick.

"Ahh thanks a lot Jim!", I say, giving him a small smile.

"This is on the house kids.", He says before walking away, leaving us cheering behind him.

Once Jim is out if sight, Nick turns to look at me and start babbling about his day.

After staying there long enough to talk about our days with scrutiny, we decide it's time to go home.

"You have to wake up at 7:00 am.", He says while prying my whining ass away from the hood of the car.

The ride back home is comforting, and makes me instantly falls asleep, the excitement and the anxiety at last catching up to me.

"-RIL, APRIL! WAKE THE DUCK UP!", I hear abd at once feel myself being pulled in a sitting position.

I wake up groggily, jerking my hand away from the tight grip and open my eyes, getting ready to curse like a sailor.

But the insults die down as I look up at the annoyed face of Nick, and sheepishly smile.

"We're home, you idiot! Wake up!!!", he says, pulling at my hands again.

"Ahhh.", I say, trying to hide my yawn, but failing.

Nick rolls his eyes before pulling me out of the car and closing the door.

Once I'm steady on my feet, he lets go and starts walking.
"When do you have to wake up tomorrow?", I casually ask.

"8:00 am, why?", He says as he stands in front of the elevator, waiting for me.

"It's not fair! Why do you get to sleep an hour more?! I thought I could be my own master after college, but I guess I was wrong!", I keep on rambling until we reach the our apartment.

Once in, I change into my night clothes, too tired and too sleepy to care.
But before sitting on the bed, I go and brush my teeth, pulling my hair up in a bun.
'fuck my OCD.', I think as I putting in alarms for 5:30 am and 5:45 am.

- Time Skip -

My alarm rings at exact 5:30 am, which has me tumbling out of my bed and almost falling on the floor.

"I'm up, I'm up!", I say to no one in particular and close my eyes for two seconds, wanting to calm my racing heart.

I get up from the bed after exact 28 seconds (yeah, I was counting), and stumble into the washroom, jumping into the shower. After a lot of cursing due to the too cold water, I'm finally done.

I walk out and stand in front of my wardrobe, thinking of what to wear.
At last, I decide on a brown button up and faded blue jeans.
Once into those clothes, I put on my usual hoop earrings and try to untangle my hair unsuccessfully.
After a few tugs, I just give them a little shake, deeming them to be good enough (not) and walk out.

In the kitchen, I make myself a coffee and a sandwich that Nick deserves and glance at the clock.
It reads 6:15 am and I finish my coffee in a bit of a hurry, wanting to make a good enough impression on them by being early.
I writea little note for Nick before grabbing my bag and locking the door behind me.

But the plan goes down the drain when it gets really hard to find a taxi. After waiting for half an hour, one finally pulls up, which is not filled with people, and I rush in, telling them the address and politely asking them to step on it!

I finally reach the company, and I hastily pay the taxi driver, thanking him and ente the building.

I see the blonde beauty sitting there, but I don't waste my time on her.
I take the elevator to Mr. Jace's office, hoping he'll let me off easy this time, knowing I'm just 10 minutes late.

I'm out the doors before they are even fully open and walk inside the room I know Jace will be in.

"Morning! I've been waiting for you!", He says, as he leans on the desk, a few papers in his hands.

"I'm so sorry sir- Mr. Jace, I won't be late next time!", I say, feeling guilty.

"It's fine! And it's just Jace to you. It happens!", He laughs.
"Anyways, here's your ID card, and come on, let's go! We have a meeting with all the other creators. Once there, I'll give you the basic idea of how things are supposed to take place, okay? ", He continues.

I nod and step aside as he hands me my ID card and walks out, asking me to follow him.

I sigh and straighten myself, befure following him.

"My job has officially started.", I think.
