~Few days later~VanessaI didn't know how to exactly feel as I stood outside the building that I will be working in. I had never thought this would be a part of my life ; working in an office and for extremely rich people. I dressed in the most suitable outfit I could find: a black skirt and a flowing white blouse. I went up the stairs glancing at everyone who comes my way as I noticed how good they were dressed. Someone were dressed in working pants and flats whilst others wore skirts and heels. I made my way up to a woman who was on a phone as she wrote down something. "Hi, is Julia here?", I asked after she hung up the phone and gave me her attention."Who are you?, and to speak with Mrs. Lenetti you'll need an appointment"."I'm vanessa and I'm suppose to be working here", I replied feeling as if I was embarrassing myself. I thought Julia would've been here to get me settled in on what to do and when to do it...unfortunately not."Umm, give me a sec", she said before going ones
I didn't say you could leave yet did I?".I turned around looked at him. He threw the documents on the table before pointing to a cabinet that was on the opposite side of the office. I looked at it and noticed that it was full of different types of achievements and awards." There's a small box at the bottom of the cabinet, I need it".I waited for a few seconds before sighing and going to fetch his box like the assistant I was. I opened it before bending over and started to move things around so I could find it. I saw a small red box with a lock on it and I took it up before closing the cabinet.After handing it to him I was thinking about leaving but I stayed put. I wondered what else he had in his mind. I do believe he wants to work me out as much as possible. Only because he despised me."You can go now and ensure the documents on your desk are sorted through and edited. I don't tolerate laziness and unfinished work".I left his office and went to mine. The first thing I noticed w
Vanessa CollinsI entered the store and went to the clothing section. It was Saturday and I decided to go shopping for more work clothes and perhaps a bag. I started looking at the different types of skirts and the materials that they were made of seemed expensive so therefore they will last a long time.I took up set that was in a clear bag and red the label. It was a royal blue suit consisted of a skirt, a white blouse and also a jacket. It cost thirty - five dollars but to me it was worth it. I took it along with two other skirts including a black one with a split at the back.I went over to where the blouses were and immediately I saw one that I had to get. It was red but it had rose prints on it. I don't necessarily try on clothes I just look at the sizes and knew what would fit me and what wouldn't."Hey", I heard a voice say as Akilah showed up beside me. She was dressed casually as her shiny, black hair laid rest on her shoulders."Hey, haven't seen you in a while", I replied
VanessaI had to attend a meeting today in place of Mordechai. It wasn't too important and all I had to do was take notes and report back to him. He could've gone himself but I was the assistant so I had to do what I was told. I sat in my office hoping to finish off these documents before the day ends. I found four already that needed to be typed over and the rest only needed to be stamped. As I sat there, the door was immediately pushed open without even a knock.A woman came in before closing it and glaring at me. I realized she was the same person who I saw in the extra short skirt when I just came here. I caught a few glimpses of her a few times either leaving Mordechai's office or just casually strolling around. Her office was the third one on this floor. I felt somewhat confused and irritated as she started walking around looking here and there. We have never exchanged words before because I could tell from her eyes that she despised me. I didn't know why and I wasn't planning
Mordechai drove into his garage at what seemed like a penthouse. The place was getting dark and all I wanted to do was go home and take a nice shower then get some rest. My mind couldn't even decipher what he brought me here for. It was funny because he despised me and for a person my status ; he would never want me at his place."Get out and follow me".I glared at him for a few seconds before exiting the car. I crossed my arms over my chest and followed behind him. We went to an elevator and I stepped in before the door closed. He pressed a button and I went to the corner and rest my head against the walls. I just wanted to lay down and rest my body.The elevator came to a stop and the door opened revealing darkness. He walked out but I stood still. I was thinking of just pressing the button to go back down when the lights came on. I stepped out and started examining the place. It was beyond words ; it was very expensive too.We were in what seemed like a lounge room and it was very
VanessaOpening my eyes I clutched my head instantly as I felt a headache coming on. I sat up slowly blinking a few times as I adjusted to the light. I was in my room but how did I get here? I don't remember reaching home.I pulled the covers off as I stood up and saw that I was still in my work clothes. There was an ice bag on the small table beside my bed. On the other side of the room I saw my bag and some of the files were beside it.Then everything started coming back to me.Zed tried to choke me and then he slapped me. I touched my cheek and I flinched from the ache. Then Devin showed up and he somehow managed to take me home. I was so grateful for that. I knew I had an explanation to give him. Maybe this was the time he knew about my past.After changing into something simple I went to the bathroom. I stared in horror as I examined my face. There was a red mark on my cheek and my hair looked like I was fighting with a dog. I brushed my teeth and washed my face before leaving th
Vanessa Collins"Not listening to my orders was one thing but not showing up for work without letting me know, is a totally different story", was his first words but I kept my mouth shut. I seriously wasn't in the mood for this.He was dressed in a dark grey suit and his hair was a bit messy but still shiny. He placed his hands in his pockets as he looked at me. His face became blank as he eyed me up and down. What's with men not controlling their eyes especially at a time like this?. I sighed as I rest my head on the door."Mr. Lenetti, fancy seeing you here", I heard Franco said as he came to the door and kept looking at Mordechai. The room felt somewhat heavy and I turned and went to sit down. My body was in a state that I couldn't explain. I watched as they shook each other's hands but there was something not welcoming about it.He sat on the couch opposite of me but Franco sat back exactly where he was. Only thing was that he wasn't straddling my body. My arms got goosebumps as t
Stella Newton I pushed the door opened and saw the woman who gave birth to me siting up in bed, sipping on some tea and watching television. She smiled brightly at me as I returned it with tears filling my eyes. She placed the cup on a table beside the bed before I engaged her in a long warm hug."I missed you mom""I miss you too sweetie, she replied rubbing my back with the smile that never left her face. I pulled away and sat in the chair beside her bed." So how's work? "" I lost my job but I got a new one as a maid""really? That's great. How long have you been working?, she said showing so much interest in my new job choice." A few months "She nodded her head and then there was silence. I missed her. Her face wasn't as pale as before and her lips looked healthy and I couldn't help but smile.The door opened and doctor brown came in and a huge smile leapt to his face when he saw me." Miss Newton, how are you?""I'm fine and you?""Great"He asked mom a few questions before t
