I came to a room where there were several doors. Administration, accounting, marketing, logistics, design... secretariat. Perfect! What I was looking for. I knocked on the door three times softly. I got no answers, maybe it should hit harder. I repeated the touches, this time louder. "Come in," they said from the other side of the door. I took one last look at my body, making sure that at least the wet clothes I was wearing were fine. I entered. I opened the door, leaving just enough room to stick my head out. "Vanesa Lee?" I asked a little unsure. "That's right, if I'm not mistaken you are Elizabeth Hills." She placed her head on a laptop on her desk. "Exactly, it's me," I smiled. "Perfect, please come in and make yourself comfortable." I debated entering, I was sorry that he saw me in these looks, being my first day the first thing he would think of me is that I am surely one of those immature girls. I'm lost, but still I got in Vanesa continued typing on her comput
"Is seriously?" Nicholas stood up, buttoning a button on his jacket. "That's how it is. Tell Vanesa to take you to one of the cubicles and bring you up to date. Even though you will be on probation for a week, we will pay you." He came around the desk, walking towards me."Now I have a meeting, very important people are waiting for me, Elizabeth." Nick positioned himself in front of me. I insist, this man smelled very good "It will be a while before you start working for the position you applied for." "How?" I frowned. "Like I told you: you'll have a trial week. Vanesa has a lot of work so I want you to take care of me." I didn't understand anything that Nicholas was saying. "I do not understand." "When I need something I'll call you." He winked at me, then turned and left the office. What has happened? I went out behind him in search of Vanesa, I found her in the hall with some folders in her hand. "Elizabeth, how did you do?" "Well, I have a trial week. He told me to g
—Remember to be ready at that time, one of the things I don't like is waiting when I have already announced the time to pass, ok? "Okay," I lowered my gaze. Nick took my chin, directing it to his face.I don't like it when you look down, it's a symbol of defeat and here you have to overcome those things, besides, please, every time I speak to you, you must look me in the eye. His hands were soft, the way he touched my chin was delicate. This man even had class to touch something. "Okay, Mr. Miller," I nodded looking into his eyes, those eyes that could convey more than just a glance. "If you have a problem with your outfit, you can tell Vanesa to help you, tell her to take that moment off and that the expenses are on my behalf, I'm fair and I know that maybe right now you don't have enough money" he winked. "I feel sorry for you." I clasped my hands. "Don't worry about that, Elizabeth, this company spends on other things. Before anything else, you leave me your address, I'll w
"As I was saying, Nicholas, I'll give you a week to solve that problem. Not one more day. You know how I am about that." Mr. Miller gave his son a reproachful look. I had no idea that Mr. Miller was this demanding. I didn't know Nick much but I had heard he had brought the company to the top more than his father. And obviously there will be problems along the way, but deep down I knew that Nick would be able to solve them. It's just that apparently not even his own father trusts him. "You've told me twice already, father," Nick replied, his attitude absolutely angry. But he held back. Dinner was proving a bit awkward. As we all ate, the three of us gave each other uncomfortable glances. Until Mr. Miller's stayed with me. I tensed at that moment. "How did you tell me that you're calling?" Now his tone was calmer with me. "Elizabeth Hills," I replied a little nervous. I was having dinner with three imposing men. I felt prey to them. "Elizabeth ... I guess your friends ca
I settled down a bit in the swivel chair, I didn't understand how this man yesterday wrote to me like a teenager and today he acts like nothing. I checked my cell phone to reread the messages, for a moment I thought that maybe I was the one who made a mistake. Not! Obviously I'm not crazy, the messages were intact and with the bad spelling, I went back to the photo of him, I had to refresh my eyes a bit. He was just online and I was just saying "Hello" but I shook my head to drive away those bad thoughts. Come on, Elizabeth, you must focus on your work. At the same time I remembered Nate, he was not far behind, he was carved by the gods themselves. I went through the documents I had on the table and they were all for Nick, so he would call me again at any time. "Hello, friend, how are you doing?" Vanesa approaches my cubicle. "Of the best" I smiled from ear to ear "How are you?" "A little sleepless, I was reviewing some reports that Mr. Miller wanted them for today so I'm wa
-Surprised by the power of this beauty," he boasted, overtaking car after car.-A little," I agreed, but deep down I wasn't amused by anything Nate said.-At least they treat you well at Nicholas's company," he turned to look at me with this lens reflecting my face.-Since I joined the company they have treated me well, as you know I'm on probation and I think he does it to see how well his workers perform.-Ha! No matter how many things Nicholas does this year I will reign again in the business," he raised his eyebrows.I liked Nate a little while ago but it was getting a little annoying to hear him talk about his "friend".-Is your company something your parents left you or did you start it," he wanted to know if he was going to brag this time.-It's a company that my parents founded many years ago, but they discovered that I have the business skills and I made it grow in a record period, so you're with a celebrity in that-he put his right hand on my leg, the other one he kept on th
I looked at my watch, it was almost noon, the staff will be looking for lunch time rather. I was still hungry, and I felt nervous because I don't know how Nicholas would act now that I was back. I don't know if he will be angry or if he will fire me. I was supposed to be on probation and that's where I'm supposed to be on my best behavior. But I did something wrong today, I just hope I don't suffer the consequences.When I got to the elevator the doors opened, out of it came Vanessa.-Beth! -She approached me, apparently she was ready for lunch.-Vanessa, is Mr. Miller still in his office?She hesitated a little.-No, in fact he just went down to the company cafeteria five minutes ago to get some lunch. Do you want to go with me?I hesitated a little, maybe I could talk to Nick and apologize in the cafeteria.-Okay, let's go," we both walked down a hallway I hadn't come down before. It was long and at the end we could see an open hall. It had glass windows that looked out onto a small
I quickly went to Vanessa's office, I felt anxious, if I felt nervous here, now I don't want to imagine in another company and still with that witch Sabrina present.-Vanessa, I'm glad I found you," I tucked my hair behind my ear.-What brings you here? I was reviewing documents.-It's Nick-I bit my lips.-What happened with him? Don't tell me he got mad about what you did with Nate," he looked under his glasses.-No, on the contrary, he wants me to go with him to Sabrina's father's company, he sent me to give me some documents that should be ready," I crossed my arms.-So you're going into the lion's den," he scratched his chin, "interesting....-What's interesting," I frowned.-That Nick wants to take you there, he knows that when Sabrina sees a girl near him she gets hysterical, be careful with that madwoman, Elizabeth. Don't let her try to humiliate you just because you're on probation.-Don't worry that won't happen, I know how to defend myself very well with vipers like her -I t
