Hypnotized

Part 1

This feeling. This feeling is something no other human being should expierience. The feeling that is telling you, you're going to die. Breathe in your last breath and say a little prayer. This is the end.

As I sit at my office desk listening to the sounds of heels clicking on the marble floor, computer mouses clicking, and keys on keyboards typing, I hear my office phone ring. As I glance over I see it is my father's office number. My father is the CEO of Mandel Industries. Mandel Industries has been in the family for 5 generations. Once the present CEO decides to retire, they pass it down to their son. But I am hoping this time will be different. My mother and father only had one child, me. There has never been a female CEO at Mandel Industries. I want to be the first one.

"Addison, please come to my office... immediatley!" Father exclaimed.

While walking to his office, I get a knot in my stomach. Why did he need me? Am I getting fired? What's going to happen? I wondered. Once I got to his floor, I take a deep breath and compose myself. I slowly tuned the handle and walked in. I saw my father and my co-worker Jacob Peters sitting at his desk.

"Addison, thank you for coming" Father said.

"May I ask why I was asked to come, and why Mr. Peters is here as well?" I ask. Out of my corner of my eye I see Jacob giving me a death glare. I wonder who pissed him off today.

"As you know I am getting to the age of retirement. I have decided who I will be giving my company to." Father announced. "  don't know if you knew this Addison, but Jacob was supposed to take over the company, since he is my best worker. But I have decided that you will be taking over. Jacob and I gasp.

"What! B-b-but she's a girl!" Jacob shouted.

"What's wrong with being a girl" I snapped back.

"Women can't handle this. It's a mans job." He said while crossing his arms and glaring at me.

"You are a sexist pig, go to hell" I shouted, instantly regretting what I had just said once I saw my father's reaction.

"Jacob please go back to your office, I will talk with you later" father said.

Jacob leaves with much anger built inside him.

"I-i'm sorry dad. I was just so angry at him and I know that doesn't excuse my rancid behavior, but he was being a total dick" I stuttered.

"Addison, I know you didn't mean to. I will have a talk with him but first I need to talk with you." He sternly said.

Oh no. I just ruined it for me didn't I.

"Your training will start tomorrow and Jacob will be helping you" he said.

"What!" I exclaimed.

Oh hell no!
