Hayley dragged me upstairs to a room that looked like Barbie's closet from Barbie in a Dream House, then instantly started running around taking clothes from different aisles, throwing them in my direction.
Everything was categorized by brand and gender. Prada, Gucci, NIKE, Louis Vuitton, Puma, FILA, Celine, Calvin Klein, just to name a few, were there.
As I was looking around, a pair of red-bottom Louis Vuitton heels caught my eye. I carefully took up a heel and stared at it in awe, "So beautiful."
I sighed and returned it to its spot, "I'd have to sell my soul to the devil to afford this."
I got in my thinking pose and started mumbling to myself, "I wonder what the process is, is there a website where I can apply to get it done, or do I need to go to one of those weird, dark churches?"
Hayley stopped running around and turned to me, "What are you doing?"
I scratched my head, "Umm nothing?"
She grabbed a towel from a nearby shelf and came towards me, "Exactly, we literally have 15 minutes left." She gave me the towel, "The bathroom is five doors down to your left, you have two minutes."
How am I supposed to shower in two minutes?
I counted the doors as I walked, okay this is the fifth door. I turned to the door on the left and opened it.
I probably should've knocked first.
I clasped my hand over my mouth, "I-I'm so so sorry, I had no idea someone was in here."
The middle-aged lady quickly wrapped a towel around her body, "That's why you should knock before you enter you uncultured brute, now get out!"
I quickly ran out closing the door behind me, oh shit. I stood outside the door feeling like a dumbass as I read the sign, "Please knock before entering."
I slowly knocked on the door, " Umm...will you be done soon?"
I flinched when I heard something hit against the door.
"I'll take that as a no then."
I made my way back to the room where Hayley was. She turned to me as I entered, "Perfect timing, I found the perfect outfit for you, let's start on the-" she stopped mid-sentence taking in my appearance, "Why haven't you showered yet?" She checked her watch, "We have 10 minutes left."
I looked away, "I kind of got into some problems at the bathroom."
Hayley rose a brow, "What kind of problems?"
I sighed, "I walked in on a middle-aged lady."
"Naked?" she questioned.
I nodded, sorrow clear on my face, "Naked."
Hayley widened her eyes, "Blue eyes?"
I nodded.
"Straight black hair with a few silver strands at the front?"
I nodded.
She rose her hand slightly below her breasts, "This tall?"
I nodded, "That's strangely very accurate, you know her?"
Hayley sat down on a nearby chair and held her head, "Oh no."
Okay, I was starting to get a bit worried. Realization struck and I clasped my hand over my mouth, "Don't tell me."
Hayley laid her forehead on the table, "You walked in on my mother."
I groaned, why is this world so cruel?
Hayley got up, "We can't give up now, my mom is in the shower so we still have time, 30 minutes tops."
I groaned, "Hayley, I saw her naked, there's no way she'll hire me after that."
I definitely wouldn't hire me.
Hayley frowned, "Stop being so pessimistic Katherine."
If you've lived through the shitty life I've lived through, you'd be pessimistic too. I sighed, "Your mother is in the bathroom, and based on your calculations I don't think she's leaving any time soon."
Hayley brought her hand to her chin, "All the other bathrooms are on the other side of the building, you'll have to take the elevator but that'll take too long."
"I could take the stairs but I'll have to run," I suggested.
Hayley shook her head, "Running around in a towel in a public space is unbecoming of a young lady."
I released a nervous chuckle as the memory of me in only a towel chasing a hotel worker that attempted to steal my purse flashed through my mind, "Yea, very unbecoming."
She gasped and ran to her bag, rummaging through it. She grinned while holding up a small key, "I got it! Thank God, I wasn't sure if I brought it with me or not."
"And that key is for..?"
She grinned deviously, "This is the key to Dylan's office, it's just down the hall."
I narrowed my eyes at her, "Where are you going with this Hayley?"
She placed the key in my hands, "His office has a bathroom, you can-"
I cut her off, "I really don't think that's a good idea, Hayley."
She held my shoulders, turned me around, and pushed me to the door, "You'll be fine, just make sure no one sees you."
"But what if he comes in?"
I internally facepalmed, why am I even considering going through with this dumb plan?
She checked her watch, "I'm sure he's still in bed, he doesn't come here until late in the afternoon on Mondays."
I don't have anything to lose and I need this job.
I clenched my fists, "I'll do it!"
I walked down the hall trying to look as inconspicuous as possible. Luckily, no one was paying much attention to me so I easily slipped into his office.
I did a small dance while singing, "Get it, let it roll~"
I shook my head, no time for celebration Katie, you got in but you still need to shower and get out.
I looked around, "This place is pretty nice."
It was the typical CEO office set up you read about in books and see in movies. You know what I mean, a nice view of the city, leather chairs, mahogany desk all those nice bossman office stuff.
His bathroom is pretty nice too.
I was a bit disappointed though, no Gucci toilet. I didn't take any rags or soap so I had to use his.
Great, now I'm going to smell like him.
I opened the bottle of soap, "This smells very nice." I read the label, "Girl magnet."
"What kind of idiot names a soap girl magnet?"
I was about to turn on the shower when I heard the door open and close. I froze in my spot and my heartbeat quickened with each step that came closer to the bathroom.
The person stopped in front of the door and knocked, "Dylan? Are you in here?"
I inwardly groaned. Great, one of his fangirls.
My heart reached my throat when the doorknob started to turn.
"Athena?" I heard a masculine voice say.
It sounded like Sebastian.
"Dylan isn't here," I heard him say.
"Why was his office door open then?" she retorted.
"I guess he forgot to lock it when he left yesterday," Sebastian responded.
I heard the both of them leave and I released a sigh of relief, "Sebastian I owe you one."
Mission two was a success, I was able to finish showering. Got the towel Hayley gave me wet though, I had to take one of Dylan's.
I opened the bathroom door and immediately closed it when Dylan and a brunette suddenly barged in, sucking each other faces off.
I sighed, "Universe, what did I ever do to you?"
