He was running late and it was his first day, today was the day he had been working for his whole life but due to missing car keys he was slightly delayed.

Today was his first day at Savers Experts LTD as the CEO, a huge banking company located in central London. He had been working for the company since he was sixteen as a cleaner, he slowly worked his way up, floor by floor.

Now he was on the top floor, floor 37.

He rushed through the rotating glass doors in a hurry, his tie swishing back and forth, his coffee from Costa located around the corner was violently splashing about in his cup, threatening to make a mess over his new white shirt. He clutched his briefcase tightly, containing important papers.

"Morning Mr Horan!" Janice, the front desk worker chirped.

She was an older lady, in her mid-fifties that took Niall under her wing when he first joined the company. Niall stopped abruptly at the use of his last name.

"Janice," He moaned, "Don't call me that, you know that's not how we work. C'mon, I'm your 'Wee budding clover.'"

She smiled at his pet name, "Of course you are, but now you're all budded, look at you." She exclaimed making Niall blush, "You're a big CEO now, far to advance for little old me. You're looking awfully handsome, and awfully late. Go, get." She shooed him off.

He laughed and smiled at her one more time before getting into the elevator. He stood there calmly relaxing to the repetitive elevator music, in six years it hadn't changed. The elevator dinged as it reached the top floor, his floor.

He walked out, sitting on a small desk was John, he was Niall's right hand man. John had a wild interest in Niall, Niall who was forever reminding John that he was not into males, no matter how nice John was.

"Late?"

Niall looked at John as he pulled the keys out to his office, not before the elevator dinging. Him and John turned to the elevator as the doors slowly slid open.

There was a girl, her cheeks were pink from the cold air outside, her lips were red, her eyes a mosy green, her hair short and black. Niall looked at her, puzzled.

"What are you doing here?" Niall asked, it coming out slightly harsher than intended

"Oh," She mumbled, looking puzzled, "I think I may have the wrong floor."

The doors closed again, Niall watched the floors changed until it stopped at floor fifteen. He looked to John and John looked to him.

He knew every employee here but he didn't recognise her. Niall made a mental note to visit the new employee and find out about her, for work purposes only.
