My Unsafest Safe

First Encounter

My palms were slightly sweating from nervousness. I’ve never been in an office set up. Today was my first day at Winslet Cosmetics. I was wearing my signature black bodycon dress that stops right below my knee with a slit on the back. I chose not to wear a long sleeve and show some glimpse on my chest. I straightened my long black hair and finish up my look with a great make-up. I still have 20 minutes before work hour starts, I am currently sitting on a nearby café that overlooks the company. I opened my phone and was about to call Marco but lucky me, I forgot to ask for his contact number last week. I sipped on my coffee just when someone walked inside the café. She sat on the secluded table in my opposite direction. She is about 5’8 tall but since she’s wearing a three inches heels, she appeared to be so freakin’ tall. She was in her all-white outfit,-trousers that seemed to be made delicately and accurately only for her,-a button up long sleeves that stopped right on her chest. Her beautiful brown eyes matched perfectly with her pointed nose and soft pink lips. Her short black hair emphasized her chiseled jaw line and long slender neck. I didn’t realize I was biting my lower lip until someone approached her and gave her drink. How can someone be so gorgeous without doing anything? I almost panicked when I saw that I only have 5 minutes left before my time, I stormed out of the café, put on my sunglasses and walked across the highway and made my way towards the company. I saw Marco and some other staffs on the lobby talking about something. I slowly approached him and tapped his shoulders as I was facing his back. “you ready for your first day?” he said smiling, “here she comes!” he silently said as he was looking on the entrance of the building, I instantly looked towards the direction he’s looking and instantly froze when I saw the familiar beautiful woman I just saw in the café. Her long strides and posture screams power and dominance. “who is she?” I nudged Marco while still looking on the woman’s back. “ That’s the devil herself, Gallie Storm, Owner of the Winslet Cosmetics”  he said without blinking while putting his hands on his pocket. “we better get moving babe, she’s here and the least thing we could do for ourselves is to breath!” he said while moving towards her direction.

“Karen, this is Stella, one of our newly hired employee, I want you to guide her on what she needs to do okay? I’ll be leaving you both” he said and winked at me before leaving. “Hi Stella, I’ve been almost 2 years in the company now and I’ll teach you everything you need to know “ she sounded so friendly talking to me. I thanked her and entered her office. “so this is your table, your work here is to primarily assist miss Storm on her work, receive calls and answer emails on her behalf, if you have questions about anything, I’ll just be on the other room or you can just phone me if you can’t leave your post. There are also compiled papers on your right, try to study them, alright?” she said smiling sweetly at me. Karen is about 5 foot 3 inches in height, has long curly blonde hair, green eyes, fair amount of freckles on her cheeks, she is so cute over all. “oh I almost forgot, the room beside your table is miss Storms’, DO NOT EVER ENTER WHEN SHE DOESN’T CALL YOU OR YOU DON’T HAVE ANY URGENT MATTER TO SAY” I was a bit shocked on her word emphasies. “ I understand, thanks!” I responded quickly as she was already leaving me. I sat on my table and did as I was told, I read about everything that is written on the white portfolio, luckily her past assistant created some notes for things that is hard to understand and needs explanations. My readings was interrupted by a call, “Set a meeting with miss De Vera this afternoon” her deep warm voice sent something to my stomach that I really cannot undertand. “I – yes ma’am” I said stuttering as the call was dropped. Me? Stuttered? I was a proud and confident woman, what’s happening? I shook my head and began communicating with Miss De Vera. I got a reply right away telling that She cannot make it this afternoon but she’s free tomorrow at 10. I was about to call miss Storm but realized, will it be rude for me to call her? Or should I go directly to her office? I bit the tip of my left thumb while tapping my fingers of my right hand on the table, something I do when I’m nervous and can’t think straight. I gathered all my courage, including all the hidden once’s and walked towards her office. I straightened my posture and took a deep breath as I began to knock on her door. “come in!”  I heard her faint response. I slowly opened the door and closed it behind me as I entered. Seems like I swallowed my tongue when I came face to face with her. She was sitting behind her desk looking through her laptop with her reading glasses on top of her nose. Her cleavage was slightly showing, she was so hot! I was brought back to my trance when she asked me with her coldest tone “you gonna stand there all day and do nothing or you will tell me why you’re here?” she removed her glasses and put it on her table while she leaned back on her chair. She stared at me intently from head to toe which made me froze. “Mis- Miss De Vera, she cannot make it this afternoon but tomorrow at 10 will do” I said bowing my head to hide my already read face from embarrassment. “Alright, then 10 it is” she said putting back her glasses on. “New here?” she said continuing her work. “Yes, I- I mean my name is Stella Gibner, your new assistant” I half smiled as I slowly looked towards her direction and met with the most beautiful brown eyes I’ve ever seen. She again looked at me from head to toe causing me to bite my lips from nervousness. She responded with silence and I took it as a cue to leave her office. I exhaled heavily as soon as I exit her office. She’s undeniably intimidating. The day went on with my mind still lingers on my encounter with her. I badly need a drink later.
