The day has been exhausting, these heels are killing me, Carolina, the other secretary, has filled me in on everything I need to know, it's nothing out of this world because I've worked in this job before, D'Angelo Enterprise, is one of the most recognized companies nationwide for having the besttechnology, apart from the fact that they acquire small companies so that they produce more and of better quality, apart from the fact that they have several nightclubs nationwide.
My office is spacious, it has tinted windows that face the outside and I can see all of New York from the heights of this enormous building.
I can't stop thinking about Ethan's brother, he'll be arriving in a couple of days from what he told me.
I hope he is not a bad person, I hope he has the same charisma as Ethan, although I have noticed that he is a little cold and distant with the employees.
It's noon and I'm hungry to death, so I decide to take a break and go eat something in the cafeteria that I saw in front, so I head to Carolina's desk, when she hears my footsteps she looks up and sees me with What do you want?... Really? I have been as cordial as I can be with her and I still don't know why she continues to behave like that with me.
I just don't understand it.
—Hey Carolina, do you want to go eat something? I 'm starving.
Her face is a poem, she's shocked, it's like she can't believe I asked her to go to lunch, but what does she think I am?
—Emm well, I brought my lunch.
— Ah, well it doesn't matter, let's go and keep each other company.
— Has the Lord already gone out to lunch?
-I dont know, I dont think so.
— Well, after the fence we can go.
That? It's a joke, right? I won't allow it, Ethan knows that my eating time is sacred.
—Let me see, let me see if I understand, are you allowed to eat only after he — I say, pointing my finger at his office — goes to eat?
—Something like that, it's more of a rule of his brother, Mr. Zack, so whether he is there or not, I'm already used to that.
I can't believe it, I don't know him and it's already making me sick.
— No dear, mealtime is a sacred moment, and no one, no matter how boss they are, is going to stop me from doing that, no sir.
— I don't think you want to see the gentlemen upset, believe me, it's not good for you, you're new and you're going to lose your job just waiting.
— Well, we'll see, I'm hungry and when I'm hungry I get in a bad mood.
And with this I head to my boss's office, I knock on the door and then hear a forward from him, I just peek out the door a little, he is focused on his laptop so I take advantage and tell him:
— We're going out to eat, do you need me to bring you something back?
He looks up from what he is doing to see me, he gives me a beautiful smile but his expression changes instantly and he asks me—Shall we go? Who are you going to eat with and where?
—With Carolina and the café across the street, then are you sure you don't want anything? Okay, see you in a bit, bye. — I turn around and close the door, I'm not going to give him a chance to say anything, I'm hungry.
"Come on, I'm dying of hunger," I say to Carolina.
-So? Can we go now? Hey, I don't want to get fired, I need my job.
—No one is going to say goodbye to you, we're just going to eat.
"If you say so," she says a little fearfully, looking towards the boss's office, before getting up she takes a cereal bar and an apple from her purse. Is that what you're going to eat, seriously?
—Is that what you're going to eat? —Once we are in the staff elevator, I tell him, pointing to the fruit he has in his hands.
— Yes, any problem with that?
— Hey, calm down, I know you don't like me, I still don't know why, but we're going to work together, so why don't we try to get along? You said you needed your job, I need it too.
—That's what they all say.
Everyone, what do you mean by that?
We arrive at the cafeteria, it is a very elegant spacious place to tell the truth, we take a seat at one of the tables by the window, and a very handsome boy by the way, asks us what we want to eat, Carolina of course did not order anything solid just a bottle of water.
— My two turkey sandwiches with a grape soda please and a chocolate cake for dessert.
— WOW, you're not one of those women who watch what they eat, I like you. —the waiter tells me with a sideways smile that makes him look even more handsome.
— Well yes, if I like something, how and that's it.
— Great, nice to meet you, my name is Dylan— He says, giving me his hand so we can shake it—A pleasure I'm Di...
I couldn't finish speaking when a throat clearing interrupted our presentation.
It was Ethan looking at Dylan with a cold gaze. Let's see if looks could kill that poor boy would already be dead. I had never known this jealous side of Ethan, I know he is worried about me but I am not going to break down again.
—Ladies, have you ordered yet? —He says, looking away from Dylan to our hands that were still joined, I don't know why. So he quickly let go of her and settled into my place.
— Yes, you have already ordered, Carolina has not started yet, we are waiting for our order. — I tell him to change the subject a little and divert attention to something else. What I hadn't realized was that all the attention was on us.
—Well, what are you waiting for? —He tells Dylan, he just rolls his eyes, sighs and goes for our order.
