As I walk through the door it reminds me of the first time I had to go to work after my parents died. I was so nervous on that day just like today. A big building of people I don't know and know how I feel again as I took my deep breath and looked up. He was standing right there Steven Maxwell, my date for tonight. I was his personal secretary along with Alessia Core and Ray campbell.

Steven: Good morning workers. I am your manager here at the global plex entertainment industry. I am happy to work with a team like this. I hope we can be one of the best in the industry. By the time the CEO of our company comes for his/her mandatory visit in three weeks, let's work hard, team.

Ray: charlie mr.maxwell is waiting on the contracts. You ok

Charlie: Am good just that someone need to knock down that woman down just a bit

As I went to the meeting and it progressed throughout the day, all she was doing was kissing the boss ass just to move up the ladder.

Everyone: bye

As the work died down it was almost time for me to leave and get ready for my date when Alessia siped her coffee on my head.

Charlie: are you an i***t look what you did

Alessia: you have no proof of what i did

Steven: i have seen what you did miss.core and you may go home know

Alessia: It was an accident sir i was just walking by and trip and i. I.i

Alessia: am going home hmmm

Ray: i will get a towel

Steven: i will carry you home

Charlie: its ok i drove i will meet you at the restaurant

Ray: here charlie

Charlie: thanks bye ray, sir

As I walked down into the parking lot I had a feeling that someone was following me and I hid behind a car at the far end of the lot and Alessia was following me and then Ray and Steven came down and she drove off and I left after her. When I was driving home I saw her talking to a strange man that came out of the M.F.T entertainment industry.

Ring,ring,ring

Arthur: what happen
