A New Intern Started At The Company Novels & Stories

It should be another office. "Oh Sandy, you're here?" A voice spoke. "Yes, I've brought her with me. I'll leave her to you." Sandy winked at Savannah. Savannah immediately stepped forward and smiled sweetly at the staff who received her. "Hello, senior. I'm Savannah Lea. I'm the new intern reporting for work today. It's my pleasure to meet you and I hope you can teach me what I need to learn." "Oh I'm afraid I can't really be of much help. I'm just hoping that you will take care of me when you've reached the top of the ladder."

They never did. But one of them, the taller man with salt-and-pepper hair, paused mid-sentence and glanced sideways. His eyes flicked over me, then back to his colleagues. Then back to me again. Slower. I felt the weight of it like a hand on my shoulder. He tilted his head slightly. “You’re the new intern.” It wasn’t a question. I swallowed. “Yes, sir. Mail room.” He studied me for another beat, long enough that the silence turned uncomfortable, then nodded once. “Good. Keep your head down. This place eats people who don’t.”

I entered our floor, and the first glass door has the inscription ‘TEAM ONE’. Everyone was busy when I walked in, and for the first time I felt as if my entire existence was ignored. They all looked like they clocked in an hour earlier. Eyes were on the computer, files in hands, and as busy as everyone is... they were still organized. I guess that is what working for a company this huge is like. I took in a deep breath, my eyes hovering all around the huge room. That was when someone approached me. “ You must be the new intern. Alexa right?”

A set of guidelines had been sent to me on what I would need working here and she had one of them. She looked up at me, a smile on her face. “Good morning, how may I help you?" She asked. I smiled back, trying to hide my nervousness. “I'm the new intern and I was told that you would give me an employee card for identification" I said. She nodded, going to her laptop and typing something in, “Can I get your name please and date of employment" she asked. I read those out to her because they were ingrained in my head. She did something on her computer before leaving and going into the office behind her.

“No… no, it’s yours. I mean, the company’s yours. You do whatever you want. It’s… yeah.” “Good,” he said, with a voice that made my soul leak from my pores. Why is the ground floor so far away? “We have a new intern,” he added casually. “You’ll handle her.” “Sure. Yes. Of course.” “No illicit affairs, though. Keep it professional, Mr. Keene.” He smiled—smiled—and turned to meet my eyes. Why is he doing this to me? “Yes, sir,” I croaked. “Have a lovely night. And don’t be late tomorrow,” he said as he stepped out as soon as the elevator's door opened.

The room felt heavy, like frost had settled over it. It wasn’t cold inside, but a chill still crept over me. On the screen, a photo of a white car gleamed under the light. It was parked right outside International Elementary. The angle caught the exact moment I bent down to pick up a child, even the last digits of the license plate crystal clear. The intern, Winnie Taylor, leaned forward with both hands braced against the table. Her young face was practically glowing with the thrill of “standing up for justice” on behalf of the company. She stared at me as if she’d just caught a rat stealing cheese.

“But know this—I’ll take care of you now. So you don’t have to worry.” I looked up at him, then quickly down again before being blinded by his presence. This was the first real conversation we had ever had. It lasted longer than expected, stirring something strange inside me. “W-what do you mean? I’m an adult,” I stammered, betraying my racing thoughts. “You’re here for your internship, right?” he asked, looking at me. I meekly nodded. “You start at my company next week.” I stared at him in shock. This was Romano Enterprises we were talking about, the top real estate company in the country, competing internationally. They never accepted interns, no matter how exceptional.

“Can I read out the schedule, sir? He asked, tapping the screen of the tablet in his hands I gave him a simple. He began reading in a measured tone. “By 6am, an international conference call with the Malaysian investors who are interested in our new project. 8am: conference call with the European stakeholders; by 10am: exams supervision and screening of the new interns. By 1pm launch with Mr. Madison Richard and his daughter.” He paused and waited for my response. Out of everything he had read, only one caught my attention. The interns, and that's because I heard Zina telling Davika about an internship program she was starting on Monday. I didn't look up from my computer. “The intern screeni

I will start the interview for the new interns tomorrow, I thought, nodding my head, as that was a wise and smart resolution within my heart. Knock! knock! knock! "Come in" I spoke out loudly and behold, a worker from the cleaning service department enters looking like one from a strip club wearing a skimpy outfit that revealed the cleavage in between her b**bs. The site of this got me irritated as it was inappropriate and unprofessional. I howled loudly, "Drop the file right there," pointing out to the edge of my desk. Before she could say a word, I averted my eyes, grabbing hold of the office telephone to avoid being seduced. The moment she shuts the door. I put a call across to the Human

But I already push the door close before replying him or listening to more irritating reminders. What a hurdle. Here goes my first day! *** I was informed there are two other interns but they will be joining next month since I volunteered to start one month early so here I am, on my own, with no accomplice. There's nothing much to do on the first day besides being introduced to the entire department and settle my ID and Outlook issues, so by five I'm already in the car with Philip. I've gotta admit I feel a bit disappointed when I open the door not finding that annoying Owen at the back seat. But it's okay, dinner is just in two hours.
