Ouch!..
I stomped my toe at the foot of my bed in the process of getting ready for work..
Trying desperately to mentally prepare myself for the day's work but to no avail... I feel so heavy and I try doing my breathing exercises while dressing in order to calm myself down...

A gentle knock on my door, "come in!!", I half scream for Sam to enter..

Are you okay Em? Yes, Sam I reply.. Just one of those lazy days trying to will my body to comply with the fact that I'm going to work but it's not working..

She chuckles, oh Em.. I'm already done and about to leave, do I wait for you? She asked.. I nodded in response while trying to put on my shoes..

When I got done, I picked up my purse and important documents I needed heading to the living room where Sam was seated with her laptop trying to google everything about her new work place..

Ouch! She half screamed, Em, what was that for?! Holding the back of her head where the peanut I threw at her landed.. Let's go Sam! I shouted.

I haven't taken time to actually think about my apartment so I decide to use the free time I have to survey my area. The view is spectacular and the apartment is luxurious and airy.. Two rooms, a living room and a balcony overlooking the area on the far end of the living room separating it from the living room by two sliding glass doors ..
My room and Sam's consist of its own walk in closet, bathroom and another balcony each..

My thoughts were diverted when the elevator door opens up yet again on floor 16.. I mentally count to 10 and took deep breaths because I was beginning to get agitated..
When I looked up to the sight that greeted me, all worry escaped from my thoughts..
Standing next to me was a young man around age 27... 6ft 4inches I guess.. Strong build and tight chunky muscles that were very evident under his blue Armani plaid suit paired with a black long sleeved shirt.. A blue tie and black suede shoes.
I felt someone choke beside me, turning, I see Sam staring at the stranger in awe..
An evil grin settled on my lips.
Hello, I chirp, hardly recognizing my voice.. Mr. Stranger turned to me giving me a smile that could've made a blind man see..
Sam choked, oh my, I'm loving this already..
I returned his smile and proceeded to introduce myself.. Hi, I'm Emily and this is my friend Sam, come on Sam say hi...nngh, was all I could get from Sam.

He strained to look at Sam and luckily Sam had regained her composure a little and decided to give a sheepish smile and a hand shake to the Mr.

Finally, he opened his mouth to speak and deep soothing sound was all we heard.. He replied, hello ladies I'm Mike..

Are you new here? I asked and he replied with a deep yes. Cool!, I shrill excitedly, we should hang out sometime.

He looked to be contemplating and finally said he'd be busy throughout the week and opted for the weekend..

The elevator doors opened signalling to have reached the ground floor and we stepped out.. Before bidding goodbye, we agreed to meet at the bar later today and I agreed to it, adding that Sam was coming with me.. That earned me a harsh squeeze on the hand from Sam but I ignored it..

We parted ways..

Walking to my car, Sam half screamed, what was that for Em?! And I just waved her off and told her to get in reminding her that we might be late if she doesn't move quickly..

Thirty minutes later, I'm parked in front of Stone Corp. after dropping Sam off at her work place..
I gently exit the car, lock it and walk toward the entrance of the building.. Meeting with the receptionist who shows me the way to my new office which happened to be on the same floor with Mr Stone..

Exiting the elevator that led to the penthouse, I met another receptionist... A red head, around age 24 smiling at me.. I return the smile and she asks if I'm Ms. Emily Williams.. When I reply, she cheerfully shows me to my office which was down the hall next to Mr Stone's which was the first door you'd see from down the hall..
I thank her and settle in my office, making sure to arrange my documents and put them in hard and soft copy before exiting my office to meet Mr. Stone..

Knock knock.. Come in was the cold curt answer I got. I step into the office and observed the area. Immaculate white.. From the ceiling to the floor and furnitures.
Good morning Mr Stone, I reply trying to sound as professional as I could.
Good morning was the reply I got from him.. Observing him in his immaculate white suit paired with a red long sleeve shirt, head bent paying attention to the ledger on his desk.. He didn't even spare a glance at me!

Mhmhm.. I clear my throat trying to get his attention. Apparently it worked. What do you want Ms. William? He snapped up at me, a hint of irritation in his eyes.
Mr. Stone I reply, I need the documents on the collaboration from your company so I can compute it all and merge it with ours..

File 2B on the cabinet by your left was all he said and turned back to his previous business.. That brute! I tried my best and controlled the anger burning up inside me and decided to go look for the file myself.

It's 2 o'clock and I'm hungry so I decide to go grab lunch.. I walk to a small eatry about 4 blocks from the office.. I order fried chicken and a burger and got down to business, sipping my smoothie in the process..
Hey beautiful, a voice startled me up, I looked up to see Mr. Mike who was seemingly amused by my reaction.. I smile back and usher him a seat next to me.. He orders his own food and we engage in small talk mostly concerning Sam.. Oooh.. I think someone is interested.. Looking at my wrist watch, I bid him goodbye and leave for the office to find Mr. Stone in my office..

Oops..

Welcome back Ms. William, it took you long enough, I regard him with an eyebrow quirked up trying to get him to explain why he was in my office.. He said nothing and left the office

That man is weird!

The day pretty much went by slowly.. I spent it computing data and planning out scheduled trips we need to make to the production sites ..
By 6 o'clock I'm done and ready to leave the office.. I check Mr Stone's office but he isn't around. The receptionist tells me he left for an important meeting..
Not bothering, I exit the building, got to my car and zoomed off to go pick up Sam from her work place..
