"Ugh," I groaned out as I rolled over to hit my alarm and sit up in bed. My roommate Evelyn rushed in. "Come on Carter! Your alarm has been going off for hours, you're going to be late for you first day at work!" she screeched at me.

"Fine," I mumbled as she skipped out of my room to make breakfast. I shuffled out from under my huge heated blanket and headed to the bathroom to do my morning routine. I took a shower and straightened my hair last night so I didn't have to worry about it in the morning. What to wear, what to wear?, I wondered to myself as I skimmed my closet.

"Here, try this," Evelyn said as she tossed an outfit on my unmade bed. "Oh by the way, breakfast is ready and I'm heading out so lock up when you leave and good luck. Love you and don't worry I know that you'll do amazing." I heard her grab her keys off the kitchen counter and thanked her before she shut the door.

I grabbed the outfit off of my bed and examined it. On the bed was a black pencil skirt, a white blouse, and a turquoise and gold necklace. "Perfect" I grinned to my self. I threw off my pjs and scrambled into my outfit as fast as I could so I had time for breakfast and my makeup. I ran to the kitchen to eat the bacon that Evelyn made. Then I went back to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, pulled my hair back neatly, and went for a soft and natural look. I stepped back and looked in the mirror. Dang, if I were a guy I'd smash myself. I giggled aloud and ran to the front door to slip on my heels and I was out the door.

I called for a taxi to pick me up outside of the apartment complex and waited. The taxi pulled up and when I climbed in I checked the time. The number one thing I need right now is to be late on my first day of work. Surprisingly we made it through the Manhattan traffic on time. I paid the cab fare and walked up to the huge skyscraper that read 'Island Records'.

I entered the building with my papers in hand. As I walked up to the receptionist to check in, a giant knocked me down. I looked up at him and noticed his very handsome features. He stared blankly at me for a minute while I got lost in his beautiful eyes then smiled as he helped me up. He started to walk off, "Sorry about that, but I'm in a hurry," he called out as he entered the elevator. I let out a small laugh and then realized that my papers were all over the floor. That handsome devil. I picked up all my papers and checked in.

I knocked on my boss's door that read 'CEO of Island'. She called for me to come in. She handed me a stack of papers as soon as I entered the room. "Here go shred these and put yourself to use." Geez, someone's moody.

I sat in a tiny, clustered office all day shredding papers. When I was done I walked into my boss's office as the handsome giant walked out. "Ma'am, I've finished the papers. Is there anything else you need me to do?" I asked as politely as possible. "Yes actually, I need you to call a highly rated tour bus company and rent one for Shawn Mendes. I'll give you all the information in a minute." she replied.

Shawn Mendes. Is he the giant? I like that name. Shawn. "Carter," I'm snapped out of my thoughts, "Anyways, I know you just started and I was a little harsh on you but my entire crew quit today and it's just been hectic" my boss says. "I'm sorry, if I can help just tell me" I blurt out trying to comfort her. "Really? Speaking of that I do need someone to come with me to the awards show tomorrow night and help me with my dress, ooo and someone to pick it up. All you need to do is dress nice for the event and I'll have a driver pick you up and take you. Oh also I need my essentials in my dressing room and I'll give you a list but for now, schedule that tour bus for my client Mr. Mendes." she says extremely hyper and crazy-like making me kind of worried that she runs the company.
