Unconditional!

3. First Encounter

Meraki Hera Williams POV

I am familiar with stress, ok!?

I got kicked out by my father, my mother left, and I see my best friend die every time I sleep! I am VERY familiar with it!

I am just not familiar with KAMILAH FUCKING SAYEED! God! I hate her! I now understand why the guys said that it would take me 3 months to get settled in my job! That woman is IMPOSSIBLE to please!

It's been a little over three months and I can feel my hair turning grey from the stress! She is just...so...freaking...ugh! She is a perfectionist to an annoying level!

Yes. That's the way to describe her. It feels like she has made it her mission to make my life hell!

Jacob's company is like a 24/7 company...you can work at any time you want! The only two conditions are at the end of the week you should have 40 working hours...minimum! And that whatever your schedule might be, everyone should be at the company from 4 to 6 pm. That's it! I honestly would have loved it if Kamilah freaking Sayeed wasn't in my life!

I come to work at 3 pm and work until 5 am before leaving to go home. So, I work around 14 hours every day and by the end of the week, I clock out at about 70 to 75 hours. That's just...no. That is fine. The hours are not the problem. The problem is the reason.

A month ago we were working on an app for her company, but that wasn't the hard part. Mainly, because it was a special request and not something we do. But I still made sure everything was great...the information, the content, the design, etc. And after hours of hard work she sends her assistant to tell me and I quote, 'I would rather go bankrupt than use this for my company.'

Do you know what the problem with it was? My employee in charge of the design messed up the color pallet which made the app look depressive. What the hell does that even mean!?

Layla said I was being dramatic and she can't be that bad! But I proved her otherwise by my next piece of evidence.

Jacob and Miss Sayeed want to have a...more permanent merger between his pharmaceutical tech department and her company. As I learned, they want to dabble in biomedical engineering.  To make prosthetics and other things that might help disabled people.

It's a noble idea, sure. But he wants me and my department to take care of the software part of whatever project. I expressed that while I understand software, I have no idea about nerves or neurons or any biology I will need to know. He reassured me that biomedical engineers will be hired and we will have plenty of time to prepare since they will be announcing their merger at new year's, along with their first project.

I am all on board except that I have been working at this company for 3 months and I am in charge of a big merger which if I mess up, I will definitely get fired!

Miss Sayeed has not been a help at all! She keeps pointing out every mistake I am making while I am sure she knows that this is new waters for me! The current Biomedical Engineer is not the best teacher, he knows his stuff. Yes. But he can't seem to find the words to make me understand! And every time I point this out she just says that I am making excuses!

Do you know the worst!? I HAVEN'T TALKED TO HER ONCE! Her assistant is a freaking messenger between us! I don't understand where the fuck is she that she can't even call me herself...even if it is to insult me!

Do I need to give more evidence as to why she fucking sucks! And is an insufferable asshole!? But as I think this another thought enters my mind which makes me frown.

She deserves to act like this. She worked hard to reach where she is now. Her company is the best pharmaceutical company in the world! Understandably, she wants to make sure that some inexperienced newbie doesn't fuck up her years of hard work…
