5 In The Moore Enterprises
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Sixteen years later…
Lily stood before the towering building, her heart pounding with excitement and nerves. The skyscraper was a marvel of modern architecture, with gleaming glass and steel rising into the sky. As she took in the impressive sight, the wind whipped her waist-length black hair around her face. She felt the fabric of her clothes rippled waves that trickled her skin.
Lily's heart raced as she approached the imposing entrance of Moore Enterprises, double-checking the address on her phone to ensure she had the right place. As she approached the reception desk, Lily announced her appointment and waited for further instructions. A friendly woman greeted her and confirmed that she was expected. Lily was then directed towards the elevator bank, where she waited nervously for the car to arrive.
As soon as the doors opened, a harried-looking man rushed out, nearly colliding with Lily as she stepped inside. She recognized him as one of the executives she had seen in the company's online profile. Lily pressed the button for the 13th floor, feeling a surge of excitement and anxiety as the elevator began to ascend.
Lily reached the top floor and stepped into a sleek and modern reception area. The friendly receptionist directed her towards Mr. Forest's office, which was adorned with tasteful art and comfortable furnishings. She knocked on the door, and a hoarse voice invited her inside.
"Good morning, Mr. Forest. My name is Lily Brook. I applied for the job and was asked to come in today," she said politely.
"Please have a seat, Miss Brook," he replied. "Mr. Moore is running a bit behind, but I believe you will be a good fit for the position. However, before he arrives, it's important to make you aware of who you are working for. Blake is very particular when it comes to his office, and that includes entering his office when he did not call. He is also particular with his office rules and preferences, which he will personally deliver to you."
"He will be back to his office soon, so let's move there now and I will show you your workspace. Do you have any questions?"
"None for now, Mr. Forest. Thank you for the opportunity to work in this company," Lily responded with a smile.
"Alright then, welcome to the company, Miss Brook!" Mr. Forest stood up and extended his right hand to shake hers. As she stood up, Lily felt a sense of reassurance emanating from him and thought he seemed like a good person. This job could be her chance to turn her career around.
Following Mr. Forest down the corridor, they arrived at Lily's desk, situated near a glass wall with a view of the city below and in the distance, a beautiful panorama where the full view of the Nashville National park is in its grandeur. She took a quick glance around and realized that she wouldn't have to leave to print or fax. Mr. Forest then pointed towards a door and spoke, "That's Mr. Moore's office. Remember, he's very particular about his workspace. Don't enter unless he calls for you."
Lily nodded in acknowledgement and silently read the inscription on the door: CEO Blake Moore. As she settled into her chair, Lily couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement mixed with a healthy dose of trepidation. She was determined to do her best and make this job work.
About an hour later…
Blake strode into his office, the heels of his shoes tapping on the polished hardwood floor. He was a little surprise to find Forest and the woman he saw down in the ground floor. Forest smiled when he saw him. Lily stood up and greeted the big man of the Moore Enterprises with a smile. Blake just nodded her way and thank Mr. Forest. Forest patted Lily on the shoulder and went back to his office. Blake motioned Lily to follow him to his office. As he made his way to his desk, he could feel a wolf's presence behind him, and wondered what this she-wolf business that brought her here. He turned to face her and read her aura. She looked very familiar to him, but he cannot connect her where she meet her. This one cannot be one of the secret community for he would have known her. The community is not that large to miss one. He must find out. "Miss Brook, I understand you've already been briefed, but I like to make sure that my employees understand my expectations clearly. The rules here are strict, and I expect them to be followed to the letter," he said, his voice low and commanding.
Lily nodded, her eyes locked on Blake's face. She had heard stories about this man, about how ruthless he could be with his employees mistake when it comes to his rules, and she was determined to make a good impression. "Of course, Mr. Moore. I'll do my best to follow your rules and meet your expectations," she replied, trying to sound confident.
Blake eyed her for a moment, his sharp gaze sizing her up. "Good. Now, let me give you a quick rundown of what I need from you. Your primary responsibilities will be to manage my schedule, answer my calls and emails, and ensure that my office is running smoothly. You'll need to be organized, efficient, and discreet," he said, leaning against the edge of his desk. "I have a few preferences that I would like to go over with you," Blake continued. "First, I prefer to be called by my first name, Blake. Second, I don't like to be disturbed during important meetings, so please make sure to only interrupt me if it's absolutely necessary. Finally, I like my coffee black and my schedule organized by day, week, and month."
Lily nodded again, taking mental notes of Blake's preferences. She was determined to be the best secretary he had ever had and to prove that she was worthy of this job. She had experience in administrative tasks, but she knew that working for Blake would be different. "I understand, Mr. Moore - Blake. Is there anything specific you'd like me to prioritize today?" she asked, eager to show her competence.
"I have a meeting in thirty minutes, so let's get started on organizing my schedule for the day," Blake said, opening his laptop and gesturing for her to do the same.
Lily felt a sense of purpose as she began typing away on her keyboard, organizing Blake's schedule and making sure everything was in order. She couldn't wait to see what the future held for her at Moore Enterprises.
