Meeting New Friends

Waking up peacefully, I feel the warm soft wind on my face, noticing that I'm up early. It's 6:30 am but the sun is already shining brightly through my open window.

Taking a deep breath I stand up. And walk tiredly to the lavatory.

I can't wait to get to work today. This internship means everything to me. Working under Empiric Marketing company one of the biggest marketing companies in Nyc, it's a dream come true and I'm glad I chose a Marketing course one day I wanna be an entrepreneur. And that to happen, I need to work twice as hard to get there.

It's a little bit odd that I never met the boss but I'm just glad I'm working for him as his manager, how lucky did I get as an intern to work on a great deal like this?

It's 7:00 am when I get out of the shower and I need to be as quick as I can to be at work time.

After doing my make-up, and wearing a black high-waisted skirt with a white cropped top and a black leather jacket on top.

I slip into my black heels and grab my purse along with my phone. looking back in the mirror something is missing, I put on my sunglasses to give that extra glow "Perfect!" I mutter to myself and walk out of my apartment.

After a few minutes of driving, I reach the building earlier than I thought.

"Good morning, Mrs. Griffin! you look wonderful today!" she says. Anna is such a beautiful woman probably around her 40s, I never asked about her age because I find it rude. She has straight brown hair and her eyes are as bright as a sea looking at her eyes, I always find myself smiling which I'm doing now.

"Good morning, Anna and please call me Emma," I say with a smile.

" Mrs.Oh, Emma, before you go to your office, I have flowers delivered especially for you," she says thrusting the boutique of yellow and white Tulips in my arms.

"Oh, thank you so much, Anna but do mind telling me who you got them from?" I asked looking confused at the flowers in my hands and looking back at, Anna.

"I have no idea, who they are from it must be your secret admirer" She winks and shrugs.

I fish through the flowers found a note and pulled out which says " Have a great day at work" I turn the card expecting to see a name but upon finding none, I look up at Anna questioningly.

Who could know my favorite type of flowers? I don't remember telling anyone except "Emir!?" No, no, he wouldn't send me flowers.

Getting to the elevator and pressing the button to the golden floor, I sigh, rocking on my heels back and forth.

There was a soft knock on my office door and before I could answer the door is pushed open revealing a smiling, Andrew.

"Hey, Emma" he greets.

"Hey, Andrew" I greet him back smiling at him.

Before he could respond, I cut myself off "Did you perhaps send me flowers earlier this morning?"

"No, why are you asking?"

So who could have sent me these flowers, was it, Jason? No, if it was him he was going to inform me if it did.

"Earth, Emma," he says waving at my face, breaking me from my thoughts.

"Sorry, what were you saying?" I ask looking at him.

"I said" he changes his question to "I'm going out for lunch wanna tag along? He says looking around my small office.

" Yeah, sure, "I say smiling at him.

"Okay, great follow me," he says.

Following Andrew out of my small office, and went to the lunch room which I had no idea existed because I'm always stuck in my business. We pass a huge glass office which I'm guessing it's the golden office, I had some interns babbling about. We reach the elevator and Andrew presses the 20th floor.

"If you don't mind me asking?"

He looks down at me before answering " Yeah, sure go ahead"

"Who's office was that?"

"Oh, you've never met the owner of this company, right?"

I nod in retort...

He continues " Don't worry you will soon meet the big boss" he chuckles.

When we arrive at the lunch room, which has a cafeteria set up and is much more mature.

They are a bunch of interns with their lunches in front of them.

" I will introduce you to some people since you are all cooped up running errands," he tells.

As we reach a table with four people occupied around it, I grab a seat next to Andrew. Starring up at me obliviousness, curiosity, and some being Judy.

Finally, one girl asks "Are you the intern that got the big role as a manager?" she asks dropping her sandwich.

"Yes," I nod.

"Alright, everyone this is Emma Griffin" Andrew inaugurates.

I wave awkwardly with a forced smile.

"This is Travis, Scott, Mia, and Kourtney. Andrew continues adding more in detail.

" So you work for the big boss and you've never set eyes on him yet?" Mia asks.

" Yeah, crazy right?" I scoff.

" He's kind of an ass, he prefers things done his way with no objections and is always throwing a tantrum" Mia, says.

I laugh and they all look at me with wide eyes and then began to laugh too.

"He sure does look like an ass," I say.

"Oh, girl you know nothing, he's freaking scary and he always looks mad at the world," Kourtney shudders.

"He probably is, but he's so professional at his job" Mia shrugs.

" Because you have a crush on him" Andrew winks.

"Come, on, " she says rolling her eyes.

"Come on Mia, everybody else here knows that except Emma, here" Travis and Kourtney both mumble in lyrics.

I could notice she was blushing, which is quite egregious that she surely does like this big boss, they are all lecturing about.

Walking out of the lunch room with Andrew and Kourtney, I try to avoid the stares that we are given as we walk.

Seating at my desk, I pick up my phone to check the time.

I wonder who brought these flowers?.
