The London Boy (ON HOLD)

#9 Day 1 @ Wingman

Before reading this chapter I suggest you go through part 10, to have a clearer picture of the characters ahead.

***********************************

I am sitting in the parking lot of Wingman Advertisements.
It's my first day at my very first job in my dream company.
Nervous .. Excited .. Jittery and Chilled to my bones, that's what I'm feeling in a nutshell.

The past week went by so quickly that I never really got a chance to wrap my head around things. The whole week was so exhausting.
I spent my entire savings in buying decent clothes for work. I don't think I've ever spent so much money on shopping..

And I finally got a chance to catch up with Lee. I told her everything about the job, the doubts I had, all the confusion .. everything.
But I didn't tell her about Caleb. I just couldn't. Hell , I didn't even mentioned his name..
I am not sure why I did that. She is the one person I tell everything, but I couldn't tell her about him.

Why Though ?

Anyways, It's time to kick start the day !!
I take a deep breath, fix my hair , gather my belongings and then finally step out of my car.

Let's do this !!

_____________________________________

I stand in the elevator along with few other employees. Everyone is indulged in something or the other.
The only interaction going on in here is with a polite smile that is passed by everyone, to everyone !!

Slowly the elevator starts emptying.
By the time we're on the 15th floor, there's no one but me.
I take sigh of relief.

I can't wait to explore everything this company has to offer.
But I will have to do it on my own pace. I have to be patient and humble.

That's something my mom would've said..

The elevator arrives at the 18th floor and as I step outside , the memory of Caleb standing at the end of the corridor comes to my mind.
He just stood there, with a smirk on his face, looking smug yet sophisticated !
The things he said to me here, was the reason I couldn't sleep properly for several nights..

How will I ever work here with a straight head with no thoughts of Mr.G !!

I dismiss my undersence and walk to the reception.
The male receptionist, who I remember from last week, smiles politely at me.

"Good morning ! How may I help you ?"

"Good morning. I'm Katherine Louise. It's my first day here !"

"Oh yes, offcourse ! I've been informed of your arrival"
He stands and raises his hand to shake mine.

"I'm Ethan Habrew. I'll show you to your cubicle !"
I take his extended hand and return his polite smile.

"Sure. Thanks. Please lead the way."

The cubicles are located at the centre. They are so many in number but they're easily distinguishable as well. I could easily see everyone while walking.

There aren't many people here yet, but it will eventually get crowded.

"You'll be sitting next to Agnes."
Ethan informs me.

"Okay !"

"Yeah. That's like the best place for a cubicle in this office. The washroom, the rest room, the conference room .. everything's closer from there !"
He tells me.
