Let's go to work!

The first official working day has come. I excitedly put on the cream colored blazer for the black suit skirt. So far, ponytail, jeans and a hoodie have been favored, but I have to forget this style. The manager of such a large company must be elegant, sophisticated and intelligent, inside and out. I even went to the hairdresser, conjuring soft waves and bangs in place of the unmanageable hair-monster.

„It was worth asking for an expert opinion."

I acknowledged as I admired the rich shower of hair reaching to the bottom of my shoulder in the mirror.

„I will get everyone dazzled!"

I was confident in my appearance and knowledge.

The family had breakfast together, everyone wished good luck for the first day of work.

"By the way Sophie, the wedding will be in a month, on the first Saturday in August. Can you come, or you can't?"

Jules asked between two bites.

„Of course, I would never miss it."

I poured a glass of pomegranate juice and put it in front of her.

„ Drink this, you are so pale, a little iron will be good for your body!"

„Oh, Sophie, you're so sweet!"

Francis hugged me. She was so happy, that instead of killing her daughter, I would be such a caring aunt.

How could I havenot taken care of Jules, when every time I was kind to the baby, her head took on shades of green and blue. It was so fun.

"And just tell me who you're bringing to the wedding? You don't want to sit to the table with the old ladies, do you?"

She said with the most transparent pretense of concern.

"Don't worry, sister, I have a couple of fish fed, and I'll pick one!"

'No, damn it! Fuck, I forgott hat I have to show up there with some dick! I need a date! Now!'

"Of course my little girl is a very good party, she can get diffrent young man on her every finger!"

My dad pulled himself out.

„As you say, Dad!"

I stroked his hand.

"Now I have to leave, I'm going to be late!"

I registered for a dating app while sitting on the bus, I know it's akward, but the last time I had to date for getting a man… was 7 years ago ..and since I know everyone in the area, and I don't want to get anyone fom work, because we don't hunt for domestic rabbit… that's how the dating app stayed as final solution… Here I can check in a short period of time, a lot of candidates. I was looking hard at which photoshopped adonis should I choose, when the phone rang. Unknown number.

„Yes, who is it?"

„Sophie! Look down!"

„ Ha? Dereck?"

I recognized his voice, and as I looked down from the bus he was waving from a not cheap but especially expensive company car. His lane stopped right next to my window.

„ Jump down, I'll take you."

"No thanks, I 'm already labelled as the 'newbie who kissed up herself into the general chair' , so I'm definitely not going to show up with the director on the first day. Look at the road anyway!"

I turned off my phone and turned my head in the other direction.

„Fuck… again, how did I talk to my boss ?!"

It fell suddenly… I couldn't get used to the 3 level difference that suddenly arose between the two of us.

"I really hope he won't punish me because of this."

I bit my lower lip.

I got to the company in time as I stood in front of the 8-story glass palace and took a deep breath.

„ This is it Sophie! You can do it, come on Midas!"

I pressed a kiss to my right hand clenched into a fist, it's kind of a lucky habit for me, and I walked in the huge catcher door.

„Ah, this is my dearest manager! "

Dereck was waiting at the front desk.

„ Good morning, Director."

I greeted him as politely as possible.

"Here is your access card, come, I'll escort you to your office."

The marketing department was on the 4th floor, more precisely , it was the whole level. It was divided into 3 teams, each team with 6 people, the senior manager, as well as the marketing director and secretary. The first team only dealt with shop windows, site interface, and store inspections. The second team was a specialist in photography, flyers and advertising, and the third team worked on a range of promotional events, contracted VIP partners and special discounts.

Actually, the 3 teams meant 3 levels, so as a rookie I got the most basic job, showcase, site and shops. This is by far the best job, but at least I'm not starting from the bottom of the rankings - it would have been a big suck to lick the other veterans with coffee for 3 months.

There were only two of us in the elevator with Dereck. I noticed that he had also left his loose shirt style, and the navy blue jacket with this white shirt suited him very well. How sexy is the tie too… Well that was the moment I need a man…like right now.
