Just outside of NYC this is a big change for me the change is disturbing to me all the noise and bustle of the people I start to almost regret leaving Misty Creek but I shake that feeling and take a deep breath my body relaxed and I continue on I'm certainly not use to the high rise buildings where I would normally see mountains but I'm determined to see this through I walk up to the house it's a dark rich blue with brown trim and flowers out front by the stairs on the porch is a wooden swing. I open the screen door and use the key that the agent sent to me I walk in and can tell by the musty smell it's been some time since anyone has inhabited this home I have my work cut out for me I begin to bring my things in and make this a home dust and take the sheets off the furniture open windows keep busy . It's still early, I look up stores and decide to go to a local farmers market and get some groceries. As I'm picking my way through the crowd I feel like someone is watching me shrugging off the feeling I continue to shop and turn around bumping into a well dressed Man he stares down at me and says nothing I quickly apologize and continue on down the way back home to cook. After dinner I make a cup of tea and go sit on the porch and swing away Im feeling better already. This change is just what I needed, I lay down for the night knowing tomorrow will be busy I'm gonna start my job hunting I hear so many unfamiliar noises but the loud clattering outside my window was not a normal new sound I rush to see what that could have been I see a dark figure running down the sidewalk but I see others night runners as well. Calm down girl new place new activities probably just a cat or dog. I lay back down drift off into a deep sleep. The sun shines through the window and I realized that I slept through the whole night. Feeling refreshed and wonderful I get up make a cup of coffee retrieve the morning paper from the porch and read the help wanted adds. I see one that shouldn't be difficult assistant wanted to help with scheduling and planning of day run errands and keep track of day to day activities. I circle it and go get ready I put on my nicest dress and fiddle with my curly red hair trying to decide how to wear it I finally settled on a bun. Finish my makeup and I'm off to apply, I walk out of my house lock the door and start to walk toward the subway station, its all confusing to me but I need to learn it if I'm going to stay I press on and get on the correct one, barley manage to find a seat it's so crowded with travelers. I glance up and to my left and I see him is that him no it can't be Jeremy he looks like a clean shaven suit and tie version of him but he wouldn't have followed me here he doesn't even know where I am still that looks an awful like him I stand up and try to see just then we suddenly stop and a new group gets on and some leave he's nowhere to be found I chalk it up to imagination and sit back down enjoying the rest of the ride. They call for my stop and I quickly exits a little clumsy at times I accidentally trip and wouldn't you know it I fall into the man that I bumped into yesterday I quickly apologized and say "oh my I've done it again, two days in a row I'm so sorry." He stares at me again looking so puzzled but quickly regains himself and simply nods and is off up the stares I fumble with my bag a little and want to put a little distance between us I'm embarrassed after all he will think I'm doing this on purpose if this continues. I walk up the stairs and "oh my" escapes my lips all I see are buildings as big as mountains I see the one I'm looking for across the road Chad and Jake Wellington firm Inc I make my way to the cross walk and wait for the signal I cross over and enter the marble floors and columns of the building are amazing I walk up to the receptionist and explain that "I'm here to apply for the assistance job" she replies "16th floor ask for Mrs. Bellevue" "thank you " I say turn to the elevator and enter the one on the right I go up to the 16th floor and see almost 20 women waiting all in professional outfits and low cut blouses here I am in a simple but modest dress I walk up to the counter with very little confidence and ask for an application after about 15 min I see the others commenting on me and what I look like  I feel ashamed and I'm about to leave when suddenly I hear "wait, don't go" a older woman looks at me and motions for me to follow her we enter a side room and she says "why where you about to leave did you not come here to apply for a job" " I reply " well yes but I don't have much experience and those women out there , I simply can't compete with that" she smiles and say "my dear I do the official hiring around here and you are exactly what we need, a humble person who is willing to learn , are you willing to learn? " In haste I say " YES, oh thank you I'm a hard worker you won't be sorry I'm going to be the best assistant you have ever had " she just chuckles and says "follow me, oh I'm sorry what's your name?" "Eradella Rose" I reply "but you can call me Ella for short "
