First day at work

last update Last Updated: 2023-08-16 09:15:31

I stood in front of the mirror, taking one last look at myself before I left for my first day of work. I was wearing a black pencil skirt that reached my knee, but it had a split up to my thigh on one side. I paired it with a white button-down blouse and a black blazer. I wanted to look professional but also stylish, and I thought this outfit was the perfect balance.

Well, technically, I had prepared this attire for my first day of work a long time ago; let's say I have been waiting patiently for this day for a very long time. Annabel Joseph, an employee of a big company. I always envisioned this day, except that those visions died a few months ago when it dawned on me that I could never have it.

I added a touch of femininity with a pair of silver earrings and a necklace with a small diamond pendant. I also wore a pair of black pumps with a low heel. I didn't want to wear anything too high, as I didn't want to be uncomfortable all day.

I took a deep breath and turned away from the mirror. As much as today scared the snot out of me, I knew within me that I was ready for this. I had been working hard for this moment for weeks, and I wasn't going to let anything ruin it. I grabbed my handbag and headed for the door, feeling like some top-class secret agent.

Just as I opened the front door and walked out, I ran into Mr. Jordan. A smile graced my face, splitting my lips and making the muscles in my cheeks contract.

"Oh, Mr. Jordan, I wasn’t expecting you this morning." I said, holding back the smirk that was eager to be rubbed on his face.

"I made it clear that you had two days to pay your rent; it is Monday, so I have come to throw you out," he said in his mean, crooked voice. "So tell me, Ann, are you ready to move out or willing to make a compromise?"

I chuckled softly and took off my dark shades slowly, like a sophisticated, posh, classy lady. "Mr. Jordan, neither of those options would be necessary because, as it stands, I went to the bank this morning and paid off my debt and rent for the coming months. I have a bank teller here to prove it."

I could see the look of doubt on his face as I dipped my hand into my handbag in search of the teller, and before long, I flipped out the pink paper and handed it to him.

"This better not be a joke, girl." He sounded annoyed as he slowly took it from me.

His eyes glazed over the teller, and he slowly looked up at me. As if not certain that he saw right, he took another glance at the teller, and then he looked up. He was speechless; his mouth was open, but no words came out.

If he wasn’t still my landlord, I really wanted to tell him to his face that he was an ugly pedophile and deserved a life of suffering, but I was saving that for some other time.

"It was nice having you around, Mr. Jordan, but I gotta run," I taunted with a satisfying grin on my face as I took the teller right off his hands and walked past him.

I didn’t look back while walking, but I could tell that he turned around and watched me leave. He must be shocked at how I raised the money in less than his proposed two days. He probably thought I would be ready to spread my legs for him when he returned today.

As I got to the brand new car waiting for me in front of the yard, I got in and then turned to face Mr. Jordan, hitting him with the best smile I could conjure. Shock was written all over his face, and I couldn't help but wonder about the turmoil going through his mind right now.

It is a good thing I learned how to drive back in college, and I also have a driver’s license. There was nothing stopping me; for the first time in my life, everything seemed perfect. And yet someone says money doesn’t bring happiness. Look how my life changed completely in just a weekend! Only money can do this!

The receptionist had shown me around the company—at least the places that she believed I needed to know. She informed me that further instructions would come from the boss, but where was he? No one in the office had set eyes on Mr. Blackwood today.

I soon settled into my new office, getting acquainted with the surroundings and the technology. I might have made a little rearrangement as I was allergic to sunflowers and they had those at the desk.

I had not handled such an expensive model of computer in my life, so I took my time to navigate my way through it. I was super excited for the first few hours, but little did I know that my day was about to get dramatic real quick.

The boss had arrived! Mr. Blackwood was not only in office; he had sent for me!

My heart raced as I approached the CEO’s office, which happened to be on the same block and floor as mine. I swallowed hard before knocking on the door.

"Come in," that cold voice instructed from the inside. He sounded nonchalant, and that gave me the usual chills.

I pushed the door open and walked in. He was just taking off his suit jacket when I walked in, and even though he was still fully clothed, I looked away.

"Good morning, Mr. Blackwood," I said immediately.

"The name is Maxwell," he replied sharply, taking a seat at his desk. "How are you settling in, Miss Ann?" he asked in a voice devoid of emotion.

My father always said, "Fear the man who hides his feelings behind a poker face, for his capabilities know no bounds." It sounds better in Italian.

"Great, one of the staff showed me the ropes, and I think I have got it under control," I replied, my eyes tracing his large arms up to his chest. Good lord, he was ripped! This man probably hits the gym three times a week, because what is this build?

"Glad to hear that; we have work to do, and I expect you to pick up as soon as possible. I will send the schedule to your email shortly, as well as my activities for the month. I want it properly organized and sent back. You are my assistant, and you know your work description. I expect you to be reliable, or you would be getting replaced in a blink of an eye." He warned.

"Copy that, Sir," I muttered.

He looked up at me and smiled, "Good... You may leave then."

I sighed in relief and turned around, quickly heading to the door. Maybe I rejoiced too early, because as soon as I got to the door, he called my name.

"Wait!" he instructed, and I froze. My heart paced with the speed of light, and I turned around to face him.

Mr. Blackwood dropped the pen in his hand and stood up. He started to walk slowly towards me, and I could tell his eyes were fixed on my exposed thighs—the split in my skirt! Oh no, he cannot be thinking what I think he is thinking! It is too soon!

Was he going to do it here in the office? Is he going to fuck me right here in his office? My heart raced, and I held the wall beside the door, moving back slowly. What should I do?

    My heart began to race as Mr. Blackwood approached me, with those piercing fiery eyes that burnt through my skin with the heat of hell. With a little space between us, he paused and his eyes were locked on mine. I think it was at that moment that the real weight of my decision dawned on me, the shadow of my thoughts hung over me. He slowly placed his hand under my jaw and made me look up at him, my heart stopped and I froze.His cologne hit me; it smelt so good, more like expensive. I didn’t want to look into his eyes any longer than I had already done, but he was still holding up my jaw. “Sir…” I stuttered, not knowing what to say.I knew I couldn’t refuse him, as per the agreement that we had. With his left hand, he began to unhook his neck tie and my heart skipped a few beats. Why was he loosening his tie?I wanted to step back but my back was against the wall already, the silence didn’t make things any easier, the way he stared at me, his fingers slowly traced the line from my ja

    “Megan,” Mr. Blackwood called softly, keeping his gaze steady as he read her facial expression. “I would take it that you have met my new assistant,” he added. His eyes trailed down to her chest as he couldn’t help but notice that her boobs were accentuated in that gown that she was wearing.Megan nodded with a bit of hesitation. “Yes Sir, although I had no idea that you had found a replacement until now.” She replied and slowly dropped the files on his table, with her melons carefully hanging on top of her inner elbows as she did that.It almost felt like it was a deliberate act to get his attention, but Mr. Blackwood didn’t think much into it. Megan had changed in the past few months but he hadn’t bothered to find out if there was something wrong with her. She didn’t use to look this attractive and Maxwell couldn’t tell if there was a reason for the sudden hotness. Maybe she was just going through a phase or something, as long as she got the work done, it didn’t bother him.“Oh… Yea

    I was enjoying the air conditioner in my new office while watching the newest season of Prison Break when my attention was caught by the knock at the door. I quickly changed the window display on my laptop and turned back to the door.“Please come in!” I said nervously, and sat upright. I had gotten bored from staying alone and doing nothing, so I decided to have some movie time.The lady pushed the door open and walked in; I immediately recognized her, I had been introduced to her earlier today, she was the Personal Secretary to the CEO; also the reason why I have less work here today in the office, but it didn’t seem like she liked me that much.“Hi,” she muttered bluntly, almost like she had forced the word. I immediately noticed the hostility in her tone and facial expression and that confirmed my fear. This lady didn’t like me!“Hello,” I replied back with a smile.Without bothering to take a seat, she dropped a number of files on my desk. “We have a bit of a problem in the compa

    The sun was going down, and I was making dinner in the kitchen. I had only been back from the office for an hour, I had spent extra time trying to come up with a solution as I was on a timeline. I had not been able to come up with anything meaningful, yet.My best friend Jennifer was in the house with me, she was already at home before I arrived from work; I think it is high time I changed those locks. As much as she was my best friend, it was creepy having her go in and out of my house whenever she pleased, even in my absence. Knowing how mischievous Jennifer can get, I wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving her with a spare key to my apartment.“So are you going to tell me how your first day at work went or what?” Jennifer asked while flipping through the pages of the magazine.I scoffed. “Oh, I thought you cared more about the hot men in that magazine. Why do you even read that thing?” I queried, while struggling to pull off the tin cover for the canned fish.“Babes, this is the latest

    I was silent for a few seconds, not sure of what to do next. I had blocked his number but he must have gotten a new line to contact me. Why was he so desperate to be back with me when he had acted like he had no more love for me just a few weeks back. I caught him cheating and he didn’t even act fazed, he had no regrets or remorse.“Anna… I know you are there, I can recognize even the faintest sound of your breath.” He said and I found myself blushing. Why does he always know what to say?I knew that I would be making a terrible mistake if I didn’t end this call right now and block his new number. I would be taking a lot of risk by just talking to him, he was either a very sweet talker or I was easily wooed.“What do you want, Jimmy?” I finally spoke. Like I said, I am totally going to regret this.“To congratulate you on your new job, I am very happy for you, only if I could be there to show you just how excited for you I am.”I furrowed my eyebrows and quickly looked out the window,

    I kept pinching and pulling the gown as I made my way into the elevator, carrying my handbag in one hand. This is one of the reasons why I avoid skimpy gowns, I never feel comfortable in them. I just needed to look sexy today, hoping it will appease my Boss from taking drastic actions for my shortcomings. Since he was a jerk, interested in women’s bodies, then this should probably take his mind off my mistakes.The snug, figure-hugging gown accentuated my every curve as it formed to my body, thanks to the supportive elastic straps. The dress seems to merge with my form, caressing me with a sensual closeness. The fabric clings to me, highlighting my most alluring curves, while the straps playfully tease and entwine, creating an alluring tension that sparks desire.I was quite late for work today, the traffic was bad but maybe I would have made it on time if I woke up earlier. I had been up late at night and you know what they say…The elevator door dinged and opened to the empty hallwa

    Just two hours after Mr. Blackwood had left my office, I received a phone call from a strange number. I hesitated before taking it, I had not saved the number Jimmy used to reach me the last time, so I couldn’t help but wonder if he was the caller.“Hello…”“Hello Ma’am, this is the New York City Police department. We are calling to apologize for the impoundment of your vehicle over the incident that occurred yesterday. Please come to the station and pick up your vehicle as the case has already been cleared. Thank you for your understanding!”I had to look at the number a second time for confirmation, it was a private number. Was this a prank or what? They wanted me to have my car back, just like that? I broke like three rules for letting someone without a driver’s license take my car out and they are not even charging me to court? That is insane!After the call ended, I checked the time on my phone. It was a few minutes past twelve, I was supposed to remind Mr. Blackwood of an event

I have just had a change of mind, I think I will go and get real food.” He announced as he turned his back to me.My jaws dropped! What? He stripped me half-naked, kinda put me in a mood and then he left? Who is this guy?I sat there in disbelief as he grabbed his suit from the hanger on the wall and headed out of the office. He didn’t even look back as he abandoned me there.I was confused by his actions, why did he stop halfway? Was it something to do with my body? I had to stare at my boobs to be sure. Did he not like the shape of my boobs? Did it disappoint him?I was both vexed and sad. And neither of those were the emotions a person would expect that I would be feeling right now. For someone who didn’t want to do anything with him, I sure am supposed to be relieved but that was not the case.Walking away l

    Maxwell Blackwood stood patiently at the Altar, his eyes zooming to the door every second. He couldn’t wait to see her, his parents had kept her away from him for over twelve hours because apparently it is bad luck to see the bride before the wedding. Not like he believed in that shit but he had to respect their customs.The small gathering of family and friends fell silent when the doors creaked open. Everyone turned towards Annabel Joseph who had just walked in with her father holding her hand. She was wearing a simple yet exquisite white gown and looked stunning in it. A transparent veil covered her face but anyone could tell that she was dazzling beneath it.Maxwell's breath hitched. In that instant, the world around him seemed to fade away. All that mattered was Anna, her beauty chasing away the anxiety that had enveloped him before now.As Anna reached the altar, her father, his eyes shining with pride, placed her hand gently in Maxwell's. A soft squeeze from her hand sent a jol

    The white room felt like a tomb. Anna fidgeted in the hard plastic chair, her heart hammering against her ribs. Every nerve in her body screamed at her to turn and run, but she forced herself to stay. Today, she was facing her past, a past she'd hoped to bury forever, she had to do this in order to move on.A buzzer sounded, and a thick slab of reinforced glass slid down, revealing the face she'd dreaded seeing. Jimmy. Gone was the cocky swagger he used to carry. His once-bright eyes were dull, his hair matted, and his face gaunt. A pang of something akin to pity lanced through Anna, quickly replaced by a surge of anger; she shouldn’t be feeling bad for him, he brought this upon himself.He stared at her, a flicker of hope igniting in his eyes. "Anna," he rasped, his voice raw. "I knew you wouldn't abandon me for long. Not when we have a child on the way."Anna scoffed, the sound harsh in the silence. Abandonment. The word twisted like a knife in her gut. But she wasn't here for a fig

With a happy smile on her face, Anna slid into the cool leather seat. As the car pulled away, she looked out the window and was fascinated by what she saw.It was Las Vegas, a place she had never been to before. The tall buildings and fast-paced life of New York City were gone. In this area, the scenery was mostly made up of huge casinos with crazy themes and lots of neon lights. She would see a huge copy of the Eiffel Tower one minute and a pirate ship with sails flapping the next. In the best way possible, it was too much to take in.In contrast to Manhattan's crowded, narrow streets, these roads were wide and smooth, making it easy for cars to move along. The warm breeze ma

    Anna sat alone in the sitting room, wearing a simple but elegant dress that touched her knees. Sunlight streamed in through the tall windows and danced on the plush carpet, but Anna didn't pay much attention to her fancy surroundings.She was focused on her hand, where a single diamond ring sparkled on her thin finger, and she smiled as she remembered the beautiful moment of the previous night, when Maxwell got down on one knee and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him.Anna’s attention was called to the sound of footsteps climbing down the stairs and she quickly changed her position, hiding her smile."Ready to go, beautiful?" he asked, his voice laced with a sleepiness that only made him seem more endearing.Anna's heart did a little skip. "Yes," she replied, the single word holding a universe of emotions. She stood up immediately, hiding the ring she had been obsessively admiring behind her back.He crossed the room in three long strides, pulling her close. The warmth of

    Maxwell wakes up feeling disoriented. He is confused as to why he was in that room, what happened? He could barely remember any of it. Most of all, why was he half-naked?He grabbed his phone on the blanket immediately and checked the time, it was midnight. He also noticed that he had missed over twenty phone calls, mostly from Annabel. As he tried to remember what happened, he felt a sharp piercing pain in his head.“Arrgh!” Max groaned and rubbed his temple.He got up from the bed and quickly, eager to find out what had transpired. Was the party over? He didn’t remember getting drunk so why does it feel like he had a hangover?Mr. Blackwood put on his shirt and rushed for the door, but as he dragged the handle, he ran into Annabel who looked like she was about to walk in, there was anger and rage in her eyes.“Annabel, what happened?” MB asked almost immediately.Annabel scoffed and walked past him into the room, she was fighting the tears in her eyes. She stared at the bed to confi

    After over ten minutes of knocking, the door was finally opened and Anna walked out with a frown on her face. “Who locked me in there?” she yelled.“I am sorry, Ma’am. I was actually walking past when I heard you knocking, I have no idea who locked it.” The maid who had just opened the door replied.Anna sighed and waved her head, instantly regretting why she raised her voice. “It is alright, I am sorry for speaking to you like that. Thank you for opening the door.”The maid nodded. “It is no problem, Ma.”Annabel walked away, heading down for the party. She wondered who thought it was a good idea to lock her inside a bathroom on her birthday, perhaps they were playing a prank on her. It could be one of her silly friends, the Cruz twins in particular were capable of such mischief.As she climbed down the hall, the party was still steaming hot. She found the girls giggling at one end, they waved at her when they saw her and she smiled. Maybe it wasn’t them after all, she could recogniz

I don’t know what you are talking about.” Jennifer denied, her cheeks getting redder with each passing second.“Oh come on, since when are you shy about these things, spill it already.” The Cruz twins urged.“His name is Marshall and he is standing right at the door.” Anna suddenly announced.Jennifer’s jaws dropped. “It is a lie,” she muttered to herself as she quickly turned around

If she ever wanted to get rid of Linda, this was her chance.It was not like she didn’t trust Maxwell to get the job done but this is someone he used to care for, someone he made love with for months, he clearly still had a soft spot for her or she wouldn’t be here today. She didn’t really blame him, knowing how exes can be manipulative; Jimmy for Example.“Hey! Anna!” A familiar voice called to her attention.Annabel turned to her left and her eyes met Megan. “Megan! You made it!” she said excitedly and they embraced each other.“Of course, sorry I am late, I had to go pick up Ugochi from the airport.” She announced.The name struck a bell but Anna couldn’t recollect where she had heard it before. “Ugochi?” she muttered and then she gasped. “Oh my God, you mean the bar lady from Botswana?”Megan immediately pointed to her where she was s

Maxwell didn’t want to get involved in that right now, he walked past and up next was Jennifer giggling and pouring champagne with her friends.Then to the left, Maxwell caught sight of his brother speaking to a lady, although she had her back to him, she looked very familiar. He walked down to them immediately, a frown on his face.“You know you could have politely taken an excuse before walking out on us like that.” He growled softly, trying to hold back the anger.
