Mrs. Bellevue walks me out the door and down the hall to a different elevator she hand me a key card and says "smile" she takes a quick photo says it's for my badge I will receive later today as I get on the elevator I see only 5 buttons she explains that these are the executive floors I will be working on the top one. We take the ride up and I see a side office quite large I figured this must be one of the executive's office so I ask "where will I be working from " she then explains " this is your office dear, Mr Wellington likes his assistant to be right next to him at all times. I'm his secretary I sit at the desk just out side your office dear I report directly to you and you in turn report to Mr Chad Wellington. Come with me so I can introduce you to him. " We walk through a door that is to my left and we enter a grand office giant meeting table desk a large sitting area with leather couches and a book self that puts the library in Misty Creek to shame. Mr Wellington is on the second story book in hand and paying very little attention to us as we walk in suddenly aware of someones presence he looks down and can't believe his eyes. I'm still taking in all my surroundings I barely notice my boss walk up to me and stair at me finally I see him and a small squeak escapes my lips I start blushing from ear-to-ear this is the man that I keep bumping into. My squeak startles him and he begins to laugh the sound is deep and Rich I find myself enjoying the sound "well Mrs Bellevue you have brought me a little mouse I see" with a huge grin I feel completely and utterly distraught here I am in a big city and he's right I am just a small little country mouse red curly hair freckles on my cheeks glasses that hide my eyes have a simple plain dress I feel ashamed he sees me blush and seems to feel bad Mrs Bellevue actually scolded him " now you stop teasing the poor child I went through a lot of trouble to find you a nice assistant don't go scaring her off so soon". Mrs Bellevue made the introduction and and pulled me back into my office so that she could properly familiarize me with what my duties would be. I'm a quick study learned well listened felt very sure of myself mrs. Bellevue handed me a card and told me to take the rest of the day to get proper attire for work she told me of three different stores said mention the company name and they would fix me up with all that I would need. And to report back here tomorrow morning at 6am to go over the schedule for Mr. Wellington and my own. I head down the elevator and then to the main elevator to the lobby the lady at the front desk stops me and hands me my badge explain the uses and explains that I have top clearance only that below Mister Wellington himself. I easily find the dress and clothing stores that mrs. Bellevue told me about and of course just as she said they take excellent care of me looking down at my new clothes and wardrobe I've never seen such finer things at least not in the three years that I can remember as I exit the final store I again feel a pair of eyes on me maybe my seclusion in the woods and Misty Creek has made me a bit paranoid I'm not used to this many people that must be it I shrug it off as I'm about to head towards the subway I realized I have too many bags so I decide maybe I'll hail a cab instead I try to hold out my arm to get one's attention and almost fall over into the arms I wouldn't you know it my new boss. I look up absolutely mortified that I keep bumping into him he looks down smirks and says "well little mouse we must quit meeting like this" my cheeks turn crimson red and I try to get away but with all the bags it's impossible expecially since I see his chauffeur loading them into a car I try to protest but he stops me as if he knows what I'm thinking by saying "Mrs Bellevue forgot to tell you about your car and driver you see as my assistant I need your attention to be free on the tasks I give you so William is your personal driver" "Mr. Wellington I feel totally unqualified for this job and position I'm from a small town and this big business world is overwhelming the new clothes ok I understand but now a car and driver I just" he stops me with his hand " I know all about you already I had extensive research done on anyone the moment they enter my building, you're limited background and the fact that you do know small-town so well is the exact reason I chose you. You see our next project is going to be in a small town who better to assist me with that then someone from one" my forehead crinkles up till I have a small crease right in the middle between my eyes " oh so this isn't a permanent job then I get it I'm still glad for the opportunity and will do my best" I beam back with a smile he shakes his head and says" on the contrary depending on how good of a job you do this could become quite lucrative for you and permanent" thoughtfully I stare off for a moment and then reply "ok happy to be your assistant" he smiles and says "good thing after the small shopping spree Mrs Bellevue just sent you on those clothes would look ridiculous on me and I'm sure would show a bit to much leg if I'm correct, William make sure she gets home safely and do help her with any other stops she might need, I shall see you tomorrow little mouse" I get in William an older gentleman in his 50s is super nice and even asked if we have met before I assure him this is my first trip to NYC and had he ever been to the mountains he replies "no" conversation drifts off and all the sudden he has me home helps me with my things and says he will pick me up at 5am and to have a great night I wave him off and marvel at the day I just had hang my new clothes up and take a shower eat a light dinner and have a nice cup of tea on my porch swing I'm so thankful for my day and so happy I see families walking pets and a couple of night joggers and decide that I will head inside and to bed as I turn to enter my house I hear rustling in the bushes and ask who is there no answer but I see a dog jump out and scares me " oh little one you scared me, oh my your just a baby such a sweet little puppy you remind me of Duke" I close my eyes and am a little sad but I made the right choice things have gotten better I bring the little one inside with me and decide that I will keep him " you are a little prince do you like that" woof woof high pitched and starts to chase his fluffy little tail I feed him some food and we head to bed I make a pallet on the floor with tons of blankets but he whined to come in the bed " only for tonight" I say and he snuggles up next to me and we drift off into a peaceful nights sleep.
