I woke with an irking, loud beeping sound of an alarm, to top it off, my head was killing me, I found a pill lying on my side table with a cute little note of " eat me, and happy morning" my lips curved upward naturally ' Arnica' I smiled quietly, I somehow felt close to her it's just like how an older sister would be

In just no time she made me feel welcomed and loved and that was weird, I went downstairs after getting dressed I saw Arnica in the kitchen packing everybody's lunch I took mine, thanked her for the pill, and asked for the details later that night, about the last night

I reached my new office, a walking distance from the hostel to be exact a little more for a walking distance and HOLY WATER!! what the heck was that my eyes popped out of their socket

THE OFFICE was STUNNING it was like a big mansion except it was not... with I don't know how many floors, nicely crafted glass all around the building I could barely see a plain window I mean WOW! That was cool

I walked inside and it didn't disappoint me, the crafting of the office was detailed so much thought was put into this, one of the walls caught my attention that had a nice pop-up wall painting of the lavender moonflowers they are really rare and I didn't have the luck to see them with my naked eyes

I walked myself towards the reception and presented the letter of appointment as she made the call, I waited nervously, she answered the callback and asked me to follow her " I am taking you to Mr Ethan Miller CFO of the company he'll later introduce you to miss Ziwa Mathew your direct superior and head of the company she is unavailable right now, she will let you know of your responsibilities "

I smiled and nodded as we walked through the corridors into the elevator and again through the corridor we stopped outside Mr. Ethan's office we entered the office and she slightly bowed "Mr. Miller, Miss Mary is here" She bowed again and left after giving me a smile

I saw a man probably in his late thirties lifting his head from the pile of papers and adjusting his glasses, if I say he is gorgeous looking probably be an understatement he is a gorgeous man with a tan skin tone and a pair of beautiful glass blue coloured eyes I don't know how arnica manages to keep him away from other girls

"so, Miss Mary how do you like our office," he asked in a very calm and gentle tone keeping his smile..., I looked around and answered, "It's remarkable like you (before I get accused of flirting, I said it in a very respectful manner) " I smiled I have no idea what it is but I feel mysteriously comfortable around him

I saw an expression of confusion for a little while before it faded away "Thank you, Miss Mary, I'll take you to your office your duties will be briefed to you by Miss Mathew most important in this office is the way you behave always remember to bow in front of your seniors and give your greetings " he said as we walked to my office and it reminded me I didn't greet him "oh hell, the very first day of the office and I forgot my manners good work fiora" I thought to myself while regretting it

He detailed my starting work and before he left I made sure I apologized for my previous conduct and also if I said anything that was out of line, he should ignore it as my first and last mistake, he just smiled tapped my head and left with the words "Work hard"

I sat on my chair closed my eyes for a moment and relaxed, both the cabins were well-furnished people here were very nice I started my work organizing things, according to my convenience later that day Miss Mathew came by, briefed my duties and went away, days converted into weeks and weeks into months, months into years and the story ended

JUST KIDDING!! but yes days did convert into a week I got familiar with all the rules and people around me I missed my parents a lot, and I cried myself to bed every night if not for Arnica I wouldn't have survived It is better now, I am adjusting to my new lifestyle

Everything was great but it changed when I saw him.... a well-dressed man owner of the most beautiful pair of golden-green eyes black hair neatly styled well built of the lightest tan colour skin and had an aura of supreme authority, the owner of the company Mr. Zackary Theo Crystal

I saw him in the meeting we all talked about the work but I couldn't take my eyes off him even for a second I felt empty in the entire meeting I was certainly not attracted to this man, not in a romantic way but in a very strange way I could see his emotion right through him the pain, the emptiness, the fear, the authority, he was like an open book for me his every emotion were outcasted for me to see as if someone wanted me to see through him

For the first time in my life, I was devoid of any emotion, and when the meeting ended I was completely void I just wanted to sleep and that's exactly what I did I went into my office and blacked out there.
