Chapter 1
Hailey's POV
Uprooting my whole life and moving from my small town in Denver, had to be one of the worst and best decisions ever. Moving to New York and struggling, moving from couch to couch, terrible narcissistic men, fake backstabbing friends..... I've seen and experienced it all. "My last couch, this is my last couch" I said to myself. I just got out of a crappy relationship with my boyfriend Ashton who cheated on me with my famous model 'friend', Kelly. "yaay I just love them sooo much" *note the sarcasm*. So for the past month and a half I've been searching for jobs indeed, mostly any job that I could get with my associates degree or really any job at this point so I can get my own apartment.
I came across a job at this big company called Satero. The pay wasn't listed which I thought was weird but the benefits were amazing so that means the pay must be good, right? Anyways I applied and got through, I scheduled an interview for next Thursday, today is Monday so I have a week to prepare. I mean it's not like I have much money to buy anything or even do my hair, so I just have to make do with what I have.... Now to find an outfit. I rummaged through my 'closet' meaning my suitcase, ha. Surprisingly I always kept some type of professional outfit with me at all times should incase I get an interview, like now, I found a black and white skirt suit *cute* and I have to find a black top to wear underneath but I think I could scoop up a change to buy one?
At my point in life, that's a lot for me to do, but I'll get through. For the rest of the week I just put together all my documents and my resume etc... and then I just prepare for my interview.
*Interview Day*
"s**t, s**t, s**t! I'm going to be late" I thought I set my alarm for 6:30 am, my interview is at 8:00, it's 7:00! omg, omg! "Okay don't panic" I said to myself. I got up and rushed to take a shower, did my makeup, and got dressed. I put on my really tall black pumps and grabbed my documents, checked myself in the mirror and ran outside to get a taxi. Another financial sacrifice is to take a cab because I'm too late and I won't be able to take the subway. To make everything worse, it was freaking snowing in New York today, uhhgg.
I jump in the cab by 7:45 and make my way to Satero. As I am driving through the city, it is one of the most beautiful cities ever! Especially in the winter. In America,especially New York, winters are terrible! The temperatures go so low we can barely walk sometimes, the days are almost so depressing. "You'll get through this Hailey, just think positive" Hailey reassured herself, as we came close to the office building my mouth was agape at the beautiful site in front of me. I paid my taxi and got out, I straightened my skirt and walked up to the building.
This has to be the most exotic and most beautiful building I have ever seen. I walked upto the receptionist nervous as ever " Hi, my name is Hailey Rose, I'm here for an interview?" I said to Rebecca the receptionist. "Yes! Hi Hailey I'm Rebecca, so nice to meet you! I'll let the boss know you're here" "The boss?" she looked at me with a questioning look "I'm being interviewed by the boss? As in the owner?" I was twiddling my fingers, my palms were becoming sweaty, she laughed " Ha, yes you're being interviewed by the boss. He wants to make sure that he has the best employees as he can".....'hi, Mr. Satero... yes Hailey Rose is here for the interview.... Okay sir, sure, I'll send her up' "Hailey, you can go up to the 23rd floor" she said with a smile. "Okay, thank you" I said with a smile and made my way up. making my way up I went through everything in my head, going over possible interview questions: 'why are you fit for this position?, what experiences do you have, etc...' I've been on the elevator for 3 minutes... this is a long ride. I wonder what the boss looks like? I should've looked him up before coming here! ugh. Finally I got to the 23rd floor and another receptionist was there "Hailey?" I nodded yes "Mr. Satero will see you now, just walk down make a right and then the big black door, you can just knock" "Okay thank you!" I smiled. I was sooo nervous, I made my way there and stood at the door staring at it as if I wasn't already late. I knocked and waited, knocked again and then I heard a deep voice say VERY HARSHLY might I add "Come in!" I was startled but I slowly opened the door. His office was..... Wheewww
*Blake's POV*
I saw Hailey on the cameras as soon as she walked into the lobby. She was beautiful, and has to be one of the most beautiful women I have ever laid eyes on. I watched her as she was talking to the first floor receptionist, Rebecca. I was expecting a call from Rebecca so I just sat there and waited. After 5 minutes my phone rang "What?" I said all too aggressively into the phone, I heard Rebecca shrieked. Sometimes I feel bad but that's just the way I am. "Hi, Mr. Satero Hailey Rose is here for the interview" she continued "just send her up" I said annoyed. Hailey made her to the elevator and came up, she spoke to the other receptionist and she sent her in. I watched her walk towards my office and oh my god, the way her curves look in that skirt and the way her lower half moves... is just so distracting. She got to my door and then I pretended to do some work, I heard her knock once, twice "come in '' I said harshly I saw her shriek on my camera. She slowly opened the door and I looked up from my computer, when we made eye contact she froze and I lost my voice. What felt like minutes went by just us staring at each other. She is so beautiful. Long brown legs, brown/hazel eyes, and long brown hair cascading down her back. She could be a model. Like Bella Hadid or Kendall Jenner, that's how stunning she looked. That outfit she had on wasn't helping out either, she looked so hot, all the things I could do to her raced through my mind. 'Snap out of it' I said in my mind. ''ahem", I cleared my throat and broke away from looking at her. "Have a seat Ms.Rose '' I gestured "Thank you, Mr. Satero and good morning" she said shakily but confidently. Oh my that voice, and her lips I stared at them. She just sat there waiting for me to start but I honestly could not find the words..... okay. "So tell me Ms.Rose, what experiences do you have?" "I worked as a receptionist at Gavelli's Enterprises while I was in college, I worked at my dad's hardware store back home in Denver" she said with a smile. "okay" I said uninterested "where did you go to college?" "I went to to University of Denver" "and why did you move to New York?" I asked eyeing her observantly. "Opportunities" that's all she said. "Do you know what position you're applying for?" I asked "No, actually it wasn't listed on the website", "well you applied to be my personal assistant" I said watching her face go red, she quickly looked away to hide it. I wonder why that was. "Can I see your resume, please?" "sure, here you go" She handed me a folder with all her necessary documents and I looked over. I was very impressed by all her references. I peeked at her and she looked nervous. Truth is she had been hired since I saw her walk in the lobby, but let me make sweat a little. Minutes went by as I scanned her documents, "So when can you start?" Hailey's eyes lit up and it looked like she wanted to scream with joy but she kept her cool. "As soon as you want me" Oh I want you right now, I said in my mind. "Okay, anyways let's discuss your pay and what you have to do" "You get paid $10,000 every two weeks, you have your own office on this floor, and you whatever I tell you to" I said the last part a little loud because I saw her jump a little. "So any questions, Ms. Rose?" I asked, "Uhmm, ahem, n-no Mr- Mr.Blake" why was she stuttering? Anyways, I rolled my eyes and said "okay, you start on Monday" after 2 minutes I noticed she was still sitting there, "Why are you still here?!" I shouted She quickly gathered her things and headed for the door, that a*s of hers, what I would do.... snap out it Blake! She's an employee now. As she reached the door she looked back and we made eye contact again "Thank you Mr. Blake, I will see you on Monday" and with those last words she left.
*Hailey's POV*
As I walked out his office I wanted to jump with joy but refrained, 'I GOT THE JOB, AHHHHHHH' I screamed in my head. I made my way back to the receptionist and said bye to her, her name is Eve I learned from her name tag. Back in the elevator, I made my way down to the lobby. I was doing a happy dance in the elevator and I didn't care if it had cameras just as long as the boss wasn't seeing me. I got to the lobby amd stepped off, I make my way to exist when Rebecca stopped me "How did it go?" she asked, she seemed genuinely interested, "I'll see you on Monday!" I said, smiling from ear to ear. "Oh my gosh! congrats Hailey!. I'm definitely taking you out for lunch Monday'' she gleamed "Ha, I'm looking forward to it, bye Rebecca!" I waved and left.
Finding a taxi in New York is so terrible, but after 15 minutes one finally pulled over, I got in, gave him my address and we were on our way to my friend's apartment. 'No more couch hopping for me, I could finally get my own apartment! and I have to get some work outfits too, everyone at the office dresses like they're on a runway, well I guess I need to fit in? Oh and the pay?!! I almost forgot, 10 freaking thousand every two weeks? That's $20,000 a month!" I thought to myself. Well that's way better than nothing! When I finally got 'home', I told my friend about my interview and that I got the job, he was happy for me. I also told him to give me some time to find a place, he reassured me that it's okay and to take all the time I need.
* ring, ring, ring* I picked up my phone and saw my Mom calling, I answered. "Hi, honey" "Hey Mom!" I said a little loud, she laughed, "How was our interview sweetheart?" she asked, "It went great! I got the job and I start Monday" "Oh honey that's great. Did you meet the boss? How was he? or she?" I laughed, she was so careful and considerate of what she said. "He's a mom and he was very unhappy and grumpy and just not really nice" "Oh hon, it'll get better" she said reassuringly "I hope so mama". We talked for a little more, she was catching up on Dad, and what's the latest Ctadlefoot (that's where I grew up). After about an hour we said our goodbyes and our I love you's. *grumble, grumble* oh I forgot I hadn't eaten all day, I kinda got used to it though. That's what happens when you're broke to afford food, but now I can. So I ordered some Chinese takeout, after about 20 minutes the food came. My friend had gone out with his friends so it was just me. I changed out of my clothes and got comfy, sat on the couch and turned on Netflix.
I finished eating and washed up, and I prepared for bed'. I was really tired but for some reason my mind drifted to Blake- I mean Mr. Satero. He is the sexiest man I have ever seen, his suit was tailored to perfection! his hair was perfectly styled, and his tattoos oh my god!. how could I forget those lips. He is just all around perfection. And with him in my thoughts, I drifted off to sleep.
And the dreams I had that night, wheew! This will be a very interesting job.
