Chapter 1 - Chapter One

Hi, I'm Amelia Rodriguez, you can just call me Amelia tho everyone does. So guess im just bubbling with lots of emotions as after a long time being away from the city, forgetting my dark past, i just landed myself a job...although i was utterly disgraced or should i say embarrased,heres how it happened; i walked in into one of the biggest enterprises ever STONE Enterprises for an interview then a dude out of nowhere hits me and i fell hard on my butt, not me thinking it was a fairytale where the guy was gonna stretch out his hand for me to hold and then all eyes would be on us blah blah blah...but no this dude or more of a young guy actually looked me dead in the eye and told me;"You shouldn't always be louzy even at an interview, stop acting like you were born upside down...." huh well i dont think ill have any regrets for what i want to do next, i quickly got up as he made to walk away, luckily a staff was passing by with a hot cup of coffee,' perfect i said; with a smirk as hurried behind him dumped the hot cup of coffee on his body. After that was a shout, he was fuming, but I didn't have any care in the world besides, I didn't need the job...or maybe I actually did, but who cares, I'm a lady, and I think a little pride from my side won't hurt. What a very rude and proud person i said to myself and anyone who cared to listen but no one was they were all rushing towards the rude guy...but hello, hey, hi i was the one who was dropped on my arse not the rude guy...sheesh, all in the name that he's probably a bit hot like duhh. as i made to walk out,securitys began running towards the scene, which was a bit strange cause i didn't even hit him with a hammer or poke my fingers in his eye..just coffee so why the hell was everyone panicking. That's when I heard it, "Mr. Alex, a staff member called". Wait whattt!!! Was that Mr Alex...The Mr Alexander ston,e the CEO of stone enterprises I was still in my thoughts when one of the security guards grabbed my arm, i tried pulling free all to no avail, then a voice echoed through the hallway it was mr alex i was already fidgetting cause i didn't know it was alexander stone, i was becoming so scared as all my courage had died down. Immediately he spoke, everyone quietened.. I'm guessing you're here for an interview, aren't you? He asked firmly. Yes I said a bit timid youre hired he told you're fired he said coldly to his secretary and walked out as all the staffs walked fast behind him to keep up with his pace while the current now ex secretary was just looking for consoling faces around her to tell her the ceo was just playing a dirty prank on her, but alas she knew the cold hearted ceo never smiled and could not even joke. I stood there wondering why he gave me a job to be his personal secretary even tho I hadn't even had an interview yet. Just then, I realized that I was in for trouble. I walked out of the building briskly. Back to the future, yeah, I know I had overreacted a bit, but I really hate intimidation, and Mr. Alex was a pro at intimidating others. Hell no I couldn't let him intimidate me, not a bit. I quickly scanned through my wardrobe looking for a hot and sexy corporate wear to put on, one that draws all eyes on me on my first day.

I gently applied lipgloss gently on my lips as i had already picked a classic, high-waisted navy pencil skirt,with a with a crisp white button-down shirt with my favorite stylish tweed blazer with gold buttons,and finally with a Sleek black pumps and a slim belt. As i looked at myself over again in the mirror i loved what i saw a vibe and style that slayed hard. I applied mascara and packed my hair into a ponytail..gosh i loved being a blonde haired girl,i checked myself out again in the mirror one last time as i stepped out the door.Finally i was back again at Stone enterprises,some of the staffs outside recognized me but i really didn't care one bit as i reached for the door handle the security guard that held my arm the other day scrutinized me from head to toe and gave a mocking smirk,but oh no i wasn't literally going to allow a security guard bad day affect mine.I walked in into the building calm but determined ,i walked to the front desk and as anticipated all eyes were fixed on me,i was directed fo a part of the building where the orientation for new staffs were held, didn't take long tho cause we were done in a jiffy and i was being sent to my desk just opposite the ceos office.i looked at millions of paperworks i had to take care of on my desk just on my first day of work,i glanced through the papers and began working .Two hours later the ceo came in,i got up and greeted which he didn't reply to immediately he entered his office i scoffed and looked away as i had sworn that nobody was gonna spoil my mood..but i think i spoke rather too fast cause the second he stepped through those doors and got on his seat he called me into his office,why didn't he just tell me he needed to see me when he was about entering his office.But as much as i hated mr Alexander stone he was still my boss and he pretty well made sure that no other company offered me employment.i stepped in to the office"sir you called me" i said half absent minded.i did, miss amelia,as you can remember cause im sure you don't have amnesia at a young age....what the heck,who does he think he is i said trying to hold myself from cussing him out,i was furious.He takes a sip, grimaces, and sets it down. "A hot cup of coffee. You'll make an excellent barista."
