The fearful time to leave the nest arrives for everyone, even more for Catherine, a recent graduate full of dreams in front of her and now receiving a job offer in a renowned law firm far from her hometown, this is the time to move on and fly high, but things are not as easy as she imagines, the obstacles seem to focus on a single person, her boss Miguel who apparently loves to be a tough guy and pick on her, is this all bitterness or is the weirdo hiding something?
View MoreAs soon as Catherine entered her office, she received a message on her phone. Rogério had asked her to go to his office for a meeting with a client that would take place soon. He wanted her to guide the situation, as the clients would arrive shortly before lunch. For this reason, she would have time to read the documents beforehand. Her joy was contagious, and she would do her best to organize everything in the best possible way.Her meeting was a success. Rogério knew that there would be no problems with that agreement, but he praised her for fully and firmly guiding all situations, even in moments when there could have been misunderstandings, she knew how to handle the situations well.The brief meeting ended exactly at her lunchtime. Rogério had a commitment with a client, so he wouldn't have lunch with her, and Diego was with a client. Therefore, she found herself alone on her second day. They had warned her that this was not uncommon, even tho
On Tuesday, the alarm clock echoed through the small room. As a matter of self-discipline, Catherine left her phone charging far from the bed, forcing herself to get up. She had slept much later than she planned the night before because André had celebrated longer than she intended. They had stayed up talking about trivial office matters and their team, and ended up staying awake until midnight.That morning, André once again kindly offered to drive her to work in exchange for fresh morning coffee. It wasn't a bad deal, as she could arrive a little earlier at work and not feel tired. Although the route wasn't very long, it was still enough to tire her early in the morning. This time, her friend didn't embarrass her; they said their goodbyes with a brief nod, and she headed into the building.With her badge in hand, she walked towards the turnstiles. There was a uniformed man standing at one of the turnstiles, looking lost. She decided to greet him because
At the end of the social moment, the group returned to the eighth floor exactly at noon, only to come face to face with at least ten more lawyers who worked at the company. There were quick greetings and nods, but none of the guys really stopped to talk to the others. Perhaps it was a common thing for the groups not to mingle much, or even an internal rivalry. Despite Victoria having said earlier that it seemed like a competition but wasn't, this market was competitive, and she had seen several cases of lawyers backstabbing colleagues just to win a case. The fact that the guys didn't interact much was a great question to be asked to Tatiane later, and it was also a great way to start a conversation. As she had been there longer, she should know something. In fact, she realized that she had not been able to exchange more than a few words with Tatiane yet, but Tatiane seemed like a nice person to have as a friend, especially since she didn't have any friends in that city.Aroun
A few minutes later, the password had been registered and the computer was released. Catherine already had an email with her name on it, which made her feel like the most important person in the world. She wanted to share that joy with her family. As she reached for her cellphone to tell her mother about the first moment, she realized she had been added to the guys' chat group. She immediately saved each one's number so she wouldn't get confused with the conversations.Diego had already started a conversation with her by sending some funny images in a private message. His phone's identification photo was with a girl, both making funny faces covered in what she imagined was flour. That must have been his girlfriend. He was crazy, and it seemed like he had found his equally crazy other half. Out of curiosity, she decided to look at Rogério's photo, where she found a man with a totally different expression. He had a beautiful smile and shared the photo with a woman and a
With Miguel's return to the room, the two could come across two guys standing at his door, one with brown hair in a well-aligned haircut, a shaved beard and standing with his hands in his pockets while the other was talking super excitedly, gesturing a lot. This one had dark blond hair combed back. As Miguel approached the duo, he put his hand on Catherine's shoulder, making her look at him a little scared at first. His hand was warm, and he had to take a step to his side, which made her smell his wonderful scent. It was Miguel's perfume, with a woody odor that matched perfectly with his lumberjack style. The trance in her mind was broken when she heard him introduce her."Guys, this is Catherine, our new little fish," said Miguel, who soon moved away from her as Diego approached to shake hands with the newcomer."Welcome to the shark tank, dear. I'm Diego, your teammate along with Rogerio, that unfriendly guy back there," he said, pointing to the friend who was approa
As soon as she was invited to follow him, Catherine noticed that his mind had gone to the moon for a few seconds, so she just nodded with a positive gesture and headed towards Miguel. Behind the glass doors, she was confronted with an environment totally different from the outside. The walls had a beige wallpaper contrasting with a sequence of doors in a long corridor, all standardized in wood with signs bearing the name and registration of the lawyer to whom the room corresponded. The floor, which had previously had a beautiful porcelain tile in the waiting room, was now covered with a soft grayish carpet. She could feel her feet sinking slightly and imagined how nice it would be to walk on that carpet barefoot. Looking further down the corridor, she could see a huge black glass door that she imagined must be the private meeting rooms that Victoria had mentioned. There was also a corridor leading to the right, indicating that the place was even bigger than her eyes could see at fir
The building in front of him was very tall. In a quick calculation, he could assume that it had about fifteen floors. It was incredibly elegant on the outside, all following the monochrome. On the inside, it was even more beautiful. As soon as he entered the lobby, he could see a white marble countertop where some receptionists were sitting assisting those who approached. There were also turnstiles both to the right and to the left. Just by seeing that, he imagined how organized and expensive that place must be. Having a space in that building should not be cheap at all. He would then straighten his clothes and open a friendly smile. In the email, he had been told that he had to stop by this reception to get a card. He presented his identity and a copy of said email printed with his authorization. He would then receive the card. She already had her name, Titan identification, and a chip in which she activated the elevator to her floor. That kind of technology made her feel like one
André preferred to change the subject, apparently he realized that Catherine didn't really want to talk about her old relationship yet, even though they were friends for years there were things that she preferred to keep to herself and forget, you can't blame a person for liking to keep their life private sometimes, with that the tense subjects jumped to fun places and programs that the two of them could do together in the city, he apparently knew all kinds of different places that she would need at least six months to know half of them, good because she had no plans to stay there for a short time anyway. Her Sunday had been summarized to pass a broom and walk around the neighborhood looking at the stores around her, she couldn't live on pizza forever nor on things ordered over the cell phone, knowing the markets and shops in the neighborhood would help her even more because André had commented the day before about a wonderful bakery that you could walk to, He had not yet given any
Returning to the living room she noticed that the door of her apartment was open, she should take care of it better, even more being a woman alone in a city that she didn't know very well, she walked to close the door and then decided that she would eat something, she opened the freezer to see exactly what was there, according to her father he had bought some lunch boxes from a nearby restaurant for her to eat during the week, this way she wouldn't have to worry about preparing food to take to lunch much less prepare something when she got home after work for dinner, everything was organized in the freezer with the labels of the date of manufacture and expiration, as she would not have to worry about it, the best thing to eat at that moment was a sandwich just to gain courage to start the work of organizing her things, but to eat even if it was so simple would need at least a plate, object that was stored in one of the boxes, so she would have to start organizing anyway, She then ment
