First day at work

Felix POV

“Babe, get up, it is morning already.” I hear Ella's voice. She was struggling to wake me up.

“Babe, it is still early.” I say with my lazy voice. I just want to sleep some more before waking up. I hated waking up so early. I look at my alarm, and it is 5:30 am, and I was supposed to wake up at 6.00 am. This is too much for me. Thirty minutes is so much time, I just want to finish the dream I was dreaming this morning.

“Babe, my alarm has not even rung yet, and you are waking me up. I am still sleepy, babe.” I say as I continue to sleep.

“Babe stop it please, wake up already, so you can prepare yourself. Remember an early bird catches the worm” She encourages me and I decide to obey her. Being lazy will not benefit me in any way.

I was glad she had decided to spend the night at my house. “Babe, I will spend the night here because I know you well. You might not get up early tomorrow, and it will be your first day.” It was what she had said. It's like she knew me inside out because if it was not for her, I will totally oversleep despite setting an alarm to wake me.

I prepared myself and set off. “Have a nice day babe, may this day bring luck to you. Remember to always have courage. That is the only thing I can tell you, babe. Always know that I believe in you and I trust that you will give your best to this job," Ella says as she kisses me on the cheek. With her sweet kiss, I know I will be alright. She is my lucky charm, anyway. With her by my side, I can conquer anything that comes my way.

Since it is my first day. I hurry to arrive early at the office so that I could impress my bosses. The office is so big and classy. I find the receptionist there already, and she shows me where to sit and wait for my bosses so that they could show me my working station. Most of the workers had not yet come. I feel so restless. I hope that all will go well.

Within an hour of waiting, the rest of the office workers arrive. Many workers were working here, it was really a big office and I just could not help but imagine how rich the owner is. I mean, owning and managing a big office like this, one must be a billionaire or something. I think I was really blessed acquiring a job from a classy office like this one. I did not have many years of experience, and yet, they had agreed to hire me. I promise not to let their trust in me go to waste. I was going to work extra hard.

“Hello, Mr. Felix, welcome to our company.” A man says from behind me. I turn to look back, and I see a man stretching out his arm towards me.

“Hello Sir.” I say as I take his hand into mine to greet him.

“Congratulations sir, I am the manager here, and I want to welcome you and show you your working station.” he says

I agree and follow him from behind. He tours me around the office to show me how the office looked like. It was really a wonderful place.

Within a few minutes, I sit at my working station. I am so happy and I cannot believe it. I had my desk which had a computer on it. I love this place already. I was so lucky.

I start my job immediately. There were so many books to edit anyway, so there was no room for time wastage.

I notice the office has so many female workers. They were so pretty, I can say. One cannot help but stare at them while they pass, since my workstation is an open office. For sure, if I was not so committed to Ella, I would have definitely found myself a suitable girl for me right here without any struggle.

“It will be so fun working here. I hope I will get along with my workmates, especially the female ones.” I say to myself.

I am glad my girlfriend parked lunch for me in the morning. Furthermore, I was so lucky she was always with me. I was so hungry. Since morning, I had not taken anything because I was rushing to get to work. I hated public food and could not eat it, that is why she prepared this lunch for me. “What will I do without her in my life."? I ask myself. With her constant prayers and patience, I managed to acquire this job and because of her, I will take care not to lose it.

Today's work went smoothly. There was so much work at the office, but I managed without so many problems. Where I found it difficult, my workmates offered their help.

After work, I decide to surprise Ella. It has been a while since I took her out on a proper date. Despite her being rich, she was always so simple. I know she must be waiting for me to ask how my day was. I also could not wait to tell her about it.

I almost end up forgetting my lunch box at the office. I feel a little embarrassed because I was the only one carrying a lunch box. Other staff members just ate at the office.

I am about to go out of the office when I collide with someone. All her files just scatter all over the floor, and I immediately bend down to pick them up for her.

“I am so sorry, madam,” I say as I give her back her things. I could not help but stare at how beautiful she looked. She was perfect, big eyes, long hair, slim curvy body and light skin tone. I could not even take my eyes off her.

“It's ok, no worries.” She says as she takes her things and walks away. I could not help but stare at her as she left the office.

I just wondered why she took away my focus like that.
