Eternal love

First day

Rosaline POV

I looked at the mirror. The girl in front of me was looking so pale. Her eyes were so green like the forest green and she is a brunette. I wore a black pencil skirt with a grey shirt and a black blazer. I hoped to God that this was professional enough for my first day at work in the Valentine company. I came here overseas to work in this company.

I made my way to the company somehow without looking like a clueless foolish woman. To say that the building is luxurious is an understatement. The money they kept in just this building would be enough to buy this entire city. Not wanting to look like a creep staring at this proud building i made my way inside the building. I was impressed with the interior here as they really did the justice to this building.

I made my way to the receptionist as she was working. I politely smiled and waited for her to notice me. But she didn't notice so i cleared my throat. She looked at me and then sniffed the air and then scowled at me.

I hope to dear god that i did smell good........

I politely asked her where Mr. Axel Carson's office. She fake smiled and told me to follow her. I did follow her trying my best to remain professional. She went towards the elevator and waited for me to come as i desperately wanted to run away from the elevator.

Claustrophobia.

Claustrophobia is the irrational fear of confined places. The anxiety in me sky rocketed as i took small steps towards the elevator. I gave her a tight lipped smile which i know probably looked like a grimace. I entered the elevator with immense fear and immediately and unconsciously  closed my eyes hoping to disappear. What felt like a hours after we finally reached the last but one floor. 

Before the elevators could even open i already made my way outside. I was breathing and panting like i ran a marathon. After a few minutes i came back to my professional state again i gave her a tight lipped smile. But she was looking at me like i was some alien specie coming to the earth for the first and asked to meet her.

Who wouldn't be when a new employee came to the office and asked to show the office but when somehow went to elevator she is choking and panting like an elephant?

She returned my tight lipped smile with her before she showed me to Mr. Axel Carson's office. And then ran away before i could even say thanks. I rolled my eyes very discreetly and went towards the office door.

The first day at my work and i was already like this. I then knocked on Mr. Carson's door. 

" Come in" He said. His voice was warm and welcome but at the same time strict and stern. He was looking like he was in mid 40's or something like that. He had a jet black hair and deep chocolate brown eyes.

As soon as i entered the room Mr. Carson sniffed.

Sniffed.......? First the receptionist and now Mr. Carson. Do i really stink? 

I discreetly sniffed myself. Mr. Carson didn't say anything instead he gave me some files and a paper full of rules.

I sighed to myself. 

'' You could just check the files today and please read the rules and follow them.'' he said sternly and then smiled warmly.

I returned the smile with my own and replied with an 'okay sir' and 'thank you sir' and then made my way out of the office.

I sighed once again and this is just the beginning of the day.
