Paperplanes inc.

First day

Blake's POV

I wake up early , at around 7 am in the morning. I had a good 10 hour sleep and I woke up feeling positive and happy for all the opportunities coming my way. I get out of bed , shower and start to get ready . I bought enough "professional " clothes and those "rags " as the hot snob called them , were my comfy clothes . They called me to the office right after I landed , he expected me to look all classy and professional? and what is wrong with wearing a sweatshirt . The disgusted look he gave me is etched into my mind,I am sure he sleeps in that suit .

I wear a sleek black pencil skirt that stops at my knees with a small slit at the side and a plain white button down . I put concealer under my eyes to hide the reminants of sleepless nights, 2 coats of mascara to give my lashes volume and a bright red lipstick for moral support hah. I pull my hair into a low bun and throw on the only pair of heels I own , black ankle strap stiletto pumps . I grab my bag , grab my phone, lock the door and rush to catch the buss . It takes 40 minutes to reach paperplanes inc. so I sit back and text my mom everything that happened, obviously leaving out my encounter with blondie and the hot snob because she'll use that to call me back home and I am not giving up yet.

I walk into the building , I still have 20 minutes to spare before the orientation so I walk upto the reception lady whose name is Trixie , she is young around 3 years older than me . She is absolutely stunning and very kind . I chat with her for the next 20 minutes and she invites to have lunch with her for which I give myself a pat on the back . First interaction of the day was a success , everything is going to go well, I hope so. The reason I didn't have any friends back home was because I never initiated conversations and showed no interest in keeping the conversation going , I was a big introvert and liked to keep my distance but I know absolutely no one in this city , a friend might help with the homesickness. That sounded way too selfish then I had intended it to sound but whatever . A big part of my job here is to interact with clients, authors and so many other people , I had to step out of that bubble . It is nerve wracking but people like Trxie make it a bit less tragic.

I walk into Andrew's office with a smile on my face and my head held up high . When I enter , Ryan whistles giving me all the more reason to twirl . Did I .....Did I just twirl? where is this confidence coming from? I blame the lipstick. Andrew turns around and laughs seeing me twirl and says " Goodness Blake! I did not know you had it in you".

umm what? What is that supposed to mean? . I'll show this man what I really am capable of . I role my eyes at him and sit on the sofa . Wait I didn't ask for his permission to sit? who is this bada*s , I love her!!.

Andrew chuckles and gives me a file. He says "The orientation is cancelled as Mr.Whittaker couldn't come to the office today, this file contains all the necessary information. Ryan will take you to Christina , the publication manager here at paperplanes inc. . You'll work as her assistant. I advise you to not roll your eyes at her , She ummm ...She won't fancy it."

won't fancy it? He talks about her as if she is Ursula or something. Also why didn't the hot snob come to office today ? bet he's scared to face me .It is actually the other way around but I won't admit to it . Anyway, Thank God he did not show up today , his face is pretty but I can live without seeing it .

Ryan takes me to ursula ...I mean christina . As I walk into her office , she immediately barks orders at me . What is wrong with this woman .

"Hey, Good morning, I am blake your new assistant .I would like to..." I immediately get cut off by her shouting

"I know what your name is bambi , now go get me a coffee ."

Bambi? seriously? I have no choice but to get coffee for ursula or else she'll grab my neck with her tentacles and crush it , we dont want that do we?.

Ursula's office is on the second floor and Ryan told me the coffee room was on 8th floor .Yes this company also has it's own coffee room . Fancy is an understatement.

I run to the elevator before the doors shut and enter just in time. I lean against the door to catch my breath and when I open my eyes , brilliant hazel eyes are glaring at me . Wait , I recognise those yes .HOT SNOB!!! what is he doing here ? Andrew said he won't show up. Great ,now I am stuck with him in this elevator for the next 6 floors . I make a mental note to take the stairs next time or to look in the elevator before entering.

He looks at me , taking me in and rolls his eyes . I look a bit flustered, hair slipping out of the bun, heavy breathing and crumpled sleeves . I straighten my back , tuck the lose strands behind my ears . I catch him staring at me but he rolls his eyes ...again!. I think something is wrong with them . After some time , we reach my floor and I walk out , without looking behind .I can't be near that man because I'll say something that will definitely make me book a return ticket to New Orleans.

I get Ursula her coffee and walk to my desk . I read the file that Andrew gave me and after that Christina AKA Ursula asks me to read a few manuscripts and report back to her , next monday .I will get to read this entire week and get Ursula her coffee and run her errands . I thank god for this , atleast I know how my first week

will go.

I walk up to cafeteria which is on the first floor . I see Trixie sitting alone so I grab some food at the scrumptious buffet and sit across from her .

"Hey ! How was you first interaction with Christina? How did everything go?",Trixie asked cheerfully.

"She asked me to get her coffee and called me Bambi when I told her my name was Blake", I said .

- [ ] " That's Christina for you , She isn't the very nice when It comes to interactions but no one can do her job better than her." Trixie said ,giving me an apologetic smile

Ryan approaches carrying a plate full of food and can not help but stare at the amount of food he brought for himself . He sits next to me and catches me staring.

"A man's gotta eat."He laughs and tucks. a lose strand of hair behind my ears. Wait ! why did he do that? Does he like mee??.I am pretty sure it is normal around here but when I look at Trixie she smirks and winks at me . THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I don't mind Ryan doing that , he is a sweet guy and I would love to get to know him a bit more.

I finish my lunch and head to Christina's office .She isn't in her office so I quickly grab the manuscripts she told me to read and put them in my bag . I sit af my desk and go through some files ,that were sitting on my desk, to pass the time.

At around 7 :30pm,I grab my bag and head out . When I get out of building, I see christina leanig into an expensive car , I can't see who is inside the car from where I am standing. I move a little closer to car and try to see who is the handsome hunk , Ursula is completely smitten from .After a few minutes,Jeremy walks out of the car and starts walking towards me.Why is he coming here? . The look on his face tells me he did not "fancy" me witnessing their flirtation.I want to run but my feet are frozen in place . Here comes my doom .
