Chapter 1
I woke up early and headed my way to the park for a stroll. It's so good to enjoy the sunrise while having a hot coffee.
I sat on bench and took a sip to relax myself after a long party I had, last night... actually it's a wedding rehearsal of my friend Claire.
Finally she found herself a soulmate and I'm happy for her. I never had a trust in marriage and in serious relationships, so I never got into one.
I jogged about a mile and got back to my apartment to cleanse myself with a hot shower.
I heard someone banging on the door, I covered myself with a bathrobe and shouted, " yeah, coming."
It was Chad- my disgusting neighbour, who never stops blabbering his nonsensical shit. He's been trying so hard to get me into his bed for over an year. Things were so disgusting and awkward between us from the day one I moved into that apartment.
"What's your plan this weekend, would you like to come with me for a trip to Amsterdam?" He never stops gazing at me.
I tried harder to keep my anger in control. Then just with a serious glare I said, " Chad, you have to try harder better than this. Also, not in a million years, you're going to get what you want from me. You better get out of here, I don't give you a damn"... I just slammed the door in his face.
He's such an asshole. Like how many times I have to do this... now I'm so relaxed with his rear kicked out of my house.
I dressed up a bit professional as it was my first day at work. I wanted to impress everyone not only with my looks but also with my skills towards the work.
I got into my car excited more than ever .... I dialled up Claire to share my excitement and also to inform her that I'll be at her house by 4 in evening.
"Hailey, I'm so happy for you, I read the texts you send me this morning. I wish more luck to you on your first day," Claire exclaimed.
"Thank you so much Claire, okay listen, I'll be there at 4 and we'll do the rest of shopping for the wedding", I said.
I just reached my office. Infront of the door, I took a deep breath and entered the hallway with so much confidence in my eyes. As everyone staring at me smiling, I too smiled back at them.
I hit 14 on the elevator and reached the reception area. A young woman less than my age was seriously tapping on the computer and not even noticed me.
I gently said, "Excuse me, I'm Hailey, I'm supposed to be joining today." She smiled at me giving my files and gave me the directions to the CEO room.
I held them tight pressing against my chest, I knocked the door, "May I come in sir?"
"Yeah, come in, you're Hailey, right? Okay I'm just about to leave for a conference, could you arrange the files in order as to my schedule? Suit yourself. If anything needed, ask Casey, the receptionist." He said barely giving me an eye contact and rushed past me to the door.
I looked around his room and it has the space twice the size of my bedroom. Books arranged in order in shelves, and I was feeling so good that I finally got a job of my dream career.
As I go through all the work that was given to me, I lost the time. I finished them with the help of Casey and I twitched my neck and stretched out my arms relaxing, I checked the time 'it's past 3pm'.
Oh, I promised Claire I'll be at her place by 4. I grabbed my things and rushed towards the door only to hit hard myself into the strong chest of my boss...
