**Three days later**I was lazing around in my room when my phone started ringing. Just like everyone who’s anxiously waiting for the result of their interview through a call, I jumped up and grabbed my phone. I prayed for the best before connecting the line.“Hello. Is this Miss Natalia speaking?” a woman’s voice asked formally. “Yes, it is,” I replied as I continued praying for the best. “Congratulations. I am calling to make an official job offer for your position as one of our managers’ secretaries. I just wanted to share with you the good news. We will send you an official job offer and contract for you to review by email,” the woman said politely. “Thank you. Thank you very much! I will look forward to your email,” I replied enthusiastically. “Please contact us if you have any question regarding the offer. If you decide to accept the job, please schedule a time to drop by the office to sign your job contract,” the woman instructed. “I can be there tomorrow. What time should

“You have to cut Natalia some slack from now on. The girl just landed a fulltime job!” Queen told Jamie. “Oh, really? Congratulations! Drinks on the house!” Jamie roared. I wasn’t sure if he was drunk or if that was just the way he was when he drank with old friends. The three of us spent time chatting about random things but I found it to be a good way to relax. Since I could tell that Queen was tipsy and still drinking, I held back on drinking. Guess who will have to drive us back? Kat came to our table to serve more drinks that Queen had ordered. I wondered if she would get roaring drunk with the pace that she was drinking but then maybe she has good tolerance for alcohol. “Your man is here…by the way…” Kat whispered into my ear. Charles is here? “He’s not my man…” I quickly corrected. “Yeah…whatever…” Kat teased before walking away. I turned and spotted Charles. Unlike the other nights that he was here, tonight Charles wasn’t here alone. He was with some other guys who wer

**A week later**Despite my big talks and dreams of moving out, I’m still stuck at the mansion with no solid idea of where to actually rent a place. At least, I’ve completed signing the job contract and the first day of work is already tomorrow. A week flew by in a blink of an eye and suddenly it seemed like my real adult life is finally going to start. I’ve always dreamt about my first day of work as a fulltime employee and I had to say that the dream didn’t quite include working on a private island at an agency dealing with mercenary services. Well, not everybody gets their dream job, right?The truth was I looked forward to starting work tomorrow and I was so excited. The other person who was so excited for me was Queen. She was so excited that she made me go around shopping with her for the past three days. Queen helped me pick out my work clothes and ended up paying for everything. Of course, I promised to pay her back when I got my first paycheck. “You need to get your priorit

“Thank you for making it on time. Ready for the first day of real work? Follow me this way, I’ll drop you girls off at your managers’ office one by one. First, let us drop Nicole off first since her manager’s office is the closest to here,” the woman from yesterday said. Everyone was clearly excited and perhaps a little anxious about meeting their new bosses for the first time. The codename and the mystery surrounding the identity of the managers only added to the tension. As luck or the locations of the managers’ office were to have it, I ended up being the last girl left after we had sent off the other three girls.“Only you left now. Are you excited, Natalia?” the woman asked with a pleasant smile. “A little…” I replied. “Sorry that you had to be the last one, but your manager’s office is furthest away. This way please,” the woman said before leading the way. She was right, the office we were heading to was a slightly long walk away after an elevator ride that transcended many

When I lifted my head up from the table my headache had subsided and although nothing had changed about the situation, I felt better. That probably meant that I was now more mentally ready to accept it all. I sighed and leaned back on the chair. This chair felt comfortable; this wasn’t bad. I scrunched up my face when I realized that Queen must have known something about this all along. I mean, there’s no way that she wouldn’t know Reiner’s code name. He’s her only son! I wondered if she planned all this and hoped that she didn’t. I prayed that this was all just a weird twist of fate or an unfortunate coincidence; however, deep down I knew that that probably wasn’t the case. This whole thing was orchestrated by the Queen…I’m going to have a talk with her when I get back to mansion. It wasn’t like I could call her out on it and blame her directly. I’ve already declared that I will do well in this job right in front of Reiner too, so I couldn’t ask her to pull some strings to have my
