Turns out just because you're tired doesn't mean you'll sleep soundly,Simone spent half the night rolling and turning in bed before she finally got some sleep. She still got up early to do some research. To be honest she always wanted to know who wanted her parents dead but she had no idea what she'd do when she met the fucker. Would she pierce his heart with a blunt object or would she just be rational and ask questions like why or what. She did have a ton of ideas of how she would like to torture the guy ,heck she even wrote a book on it (after the psychiatrist told her writing her feeling would help solve her passive aggressive issues) but she's also Christian. Catherine took her ,Gael and Kai to church every Sunday. Her research about David Schneider still led to nothing,she still didn't even get an address. She could only use assumptions like he's probably rich and either into illegal businesses which means she can meet him or he's super wealthy so much that people are scared to even talk about them let alone share their information meaning she might never meet him. The latter being the worst case scenario.She groans face on desk. Simone shut her laptop and went to jog to pent out her frustration. As she descends the stairs from her bedroom,she finally gets a good picture of the house, it's vintage but in a modern way,just her style.
She leaves the house thirty minutes before work time so she can get their early besides she has a sports car with a customized plate,the traffic police would have to think twice before stopping her for speeding. She gets into the drivers seat and looks at her reflection in the rearview mirror,yep totally unrecognizable. She had brown contact lenses on to cover her emarald green ones and she even had glasses on plus her normally luscious black hair was now ginger, she couldn't even recognize herself. The company she was going to be working in was into architecture and interior design non of which were her major so she was still confused as to what her job description would be. The company was not small but it wasn't big either,it was just well known mostly among the elite circle which was basically their customer range which meant the money was good. Not that she cared about the money ,she had enough to last her. The receptionist,Miss Joan, seemed like a very kind lady. She took her to the floor she was required and along the way filled her on information about her boss, President of the company,Mr Leo Graham.Ian Graham's office was at the top floor and there were only two offices on the top floor his and the CEO's but he's not normally in since he's old. Leo is supposed to take over soon.
"So um it's a family company,"she asks Joan.
"Yeah the CEO and the president are grandfather and grandchild hence the name Graham Family"she says like it's the most obvious thing. Well sorry Joan,just trying to make a conversation.
"She stops at a door and points at it "he's in there "and starts to leave. Panicking she reaches for her hand and she never panics. "So what am I supposed to do now, should I knock or just get in"
Joan takes her hand and places it on her shoulder"you'll be fine"and a smile that doesn't reach her eyes. Way to be so reassuring.Joan leaves and Simone stands at the door to compose herself.
"Are you going to get in"a deep voice resonates from the inside. Simone pushes the door open and gets into the office and finds him ,Leo Graham seated behind his desk .Leo observes the lady who just got into his office and is fascinated by her professionalism,she doesn't gauke at him and she's early enough. That's a great start."it's Mrs Simone right,take a seat". "So you start work today ". "Yes um what's my job again " Great,I'm what's my job again"Simone says nervously,great she didn't even read her job description.
"You're joking right,"great, just when he thought he could get along with his new PA, she turns out to be nuts.
"Of course I'm joking,I can start today yes just show me my office and what you need me to do"she says. Leo laughs mockingly "you want me to show you your office?"urgh cocky much, she rolls her eyes in her mind.
"I meant have someone show me". Leo taps his pen on the desk and gets up and rounds Simone" you're dumb,you know that. But at least you act professional and you're a little appealing to the eye so I'll excuse this doll "he says and sits back on his chair" you're my PA so you're supposed to be beside me all the time so you don't get an office "he says casually but Simone is still fuming at what he said. Dumb her,how can he call her that, she might be goofy but not dumb. She could have given the guy a piece of her mind but Michael had warned her that if she got fired, he'll pull her back to city Y and he doesn't make threats lightly.
"Go to the company secretary, he'll fill you in on what you have to do" Leo dismisses her.
"Yes sir"but at the back of her mind,dick. As she walks out of the office she recalls she doesn't have any idea where the secretary's office is. Should she go back and ask, maybe,that is the most rational thing to do but she can find her way. Right,she doesn't have to go back to that prick. Maybe too much, she thinks as she takes an elevator down a floor. Or she could go to the first floor and ask Joan. Yeah that's better.
