We meet Again
I felt dizzy while feeling my rushing adrenaline.
I got a job at The Knight Industries as a Quotes and Add Designer in the Marketing and Advertising Department of The Knight Industries.
I got an email from the company, Knight Industries, about my job acceptance. They are one of the best and biggest industries in the whole USA.
It's mostly impossible to get a job there. I heard they hire the best of the best.
Well, I have always been good at my studies from my childhood with great grades, but there are some dark memories as well. I shook my head. I don't want to think about it now, I thought.
I have been searching since this morning in my wardrobe for what to wear. Normally I don't put so much effort into my clothing, but I have to give a good impression on my first day of work. It is, after all, The Knight Industries.
Finally, after thinking and searching for so long, I found the perfect clothes.
I put on a white blouse, a black fitted pencil skirt, and white heels. I applied only lip balm on my lips. I put mascara on my eyes and the rest of my face I leave natural. It doesn't need makeup.
After that, Olivia comes to my place.
"Ready, Eter," I overheard her voice while I was applying moisturiser over my face.
"Yes," I said while coming out of my room, keeping important documents I needed there.
When Olivia saw me, her head tilted slightly to the side.
"Eter, you look so beautiful," she said to me as her lips parted.
"Thank you, fan," I said to her and winked playfully.
"You know, if I was a boy, then I could have married you right here." She nudged me playfully, and I gave her a flying kiss while keeping my documents in my purse.
"Okay, let's go. I don't want you to be late on the first day of your work," she said.
"Yeah," I said while sitting in the passenger seat of her car.
Finally, after a half-hour, we arrived at Knight Industries.
I gasped while seeing the biggest and most stunning skyscraper I have ever seen. The Knight Industries written over it.
This name and skyscraper appear to be quite elegant.
I saw guards standing outside the industry. Protect it like soldiers protect the palace.
"Bye, Eter, all the best on your first day," Olivia said to me, giving me a hug.
"Thank you," I said to her while closing my eyes and taking a calming breath.
"Wait, Eter, I have something for you here," Olivia said, giving me a packed cup of Oreo shake.
"Wow Oli, thank you so much. I need this girl. You know me very well," I said while sagging against the side of her car, with a slow smile.
"I've known you since childhood, and whenever you're stressed, you feel better after drinking an Oreo shake; remember childhood memories," she said, smiling.
"Yeah, childhood days are the best," I said.
"Okay, Eter go, otherwise you will get late," she said, squeezing my hand.
"Yeah," I said while getting out of the car.
When I go towards the entrance, the guard asks me for my ID and a letter.
I showed him a letter and I got through the company email.
Then he gave me a curt nod to go inside.
"Thank you," I said to him with a little smile.
When I walked into the building
My heartbeat increased as my mouth felt so dry, staring at its Elegant and Grace can't describe this place. It is so amazing and beautiful with a stunning interior. My trance was broken when someone accidentally bumped into me.
I rubbed my legs several times into the carpet before entering this amazing skyscraper.
I shook my head. Still, my mind is trying to calm itself.
"Hey," I said to the receptionist, "She is blonde with a beautiful face and she is wearing a blue pencil skirt and white blouse."
"Yes," She looked at me with a cheerful smile. Seeing her smile, my mood started to lighten up.
I am new here. I just got a job, "I said to her.
"Name," she asked.
"Eternity Granger," I said to her.
She types what seems like my name on the keyboard of the laptop. After some seconds, she meets my gaze.
"Report to Assistant editor, 27th floor. Report to Elena Cary. She is the head of the department," she said to me while pointing towards the lift.
"Thank you," I said to her with a tingling warmth in my limbs.
When I went towards the elevator, it had a huge crowd among it. I stood among the men in business suits and nicely dressed blonde girls.
My gaze was drawn to another elevator, which appeared luxurious despite having a platinum border around it; however, it appeared abandoned.
I go towards it.
"What if I took this?" I thought, giggling and about to enter it.
"It's for private use, mam, but the only boss who can use it," the guard said to me, giving me an apologetically wry smile.
I nodded. I could feel my skin picking up. By my behaviour earlier
Why do I have to poke my nose everywhere?
I was about to go down the public elevator when my leg hit something hard and I was ready to fall on the floor. I quickly closed my eyes. I felt goosebumps over my hands. With accelerated breathing rate, I felt my body muscles getting tense.
But nothing happened until I felt an arm around my waist and felt my body tense with the touch of the person who was holding me by the waist.
Slowly, I opened my eyes. I saw those stunning crystal blue eyes again.
Wait, he is that man who saved me yesterday from a freaking accident, but he is rude as hell towards me. I looked at his hand, but he was dressed in an Armani suit, so it was hidden.
Glancing up, I saw his side profile: Aaron Knight! owner of Knight & Co.
Bye, world! Please wear bright colours at my funeral.
Is that Aaron Knight? Oh my God, that's why I've had a feeling I've seen him somewhere, in top magazines and newspapers.Why that day I couldn't recognise him then? Maybe because my mind was fully focused on the accident that time.
"You again," he said to me with rigid stiffness in his muscles. I could feel his hands tight around my waist with his eyes darkening.
Why is he always pissed off at me?
He quickly jerked his hands off of my waist. I balanced myself, standing up straight.
Without even a single glance, he goes towards his private elevator with a man and a group of guards trailing behind him as loyal tails.
"Seems like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," I muttered to myself.
I can feel my weight shifting side by side. I go towards another elevator where people are already there. Finally, when I arrive at the 27th floor, I go towards the office of the head of the department.
When I reached the office, I knocked on her door. "Ma'am, this is Eternity Granger," I said.
"Oh yes, honey, please come in," she said with a very cheerful voice.
"Thank you," I said to her while sitting on the seat in front of her. She invited me to sit
Your grades are very impressive. Your certificates in art design are also very impressive. Even your points in an interview at our company are very nice. So, I hope you won't disappoint me, "she said to me softly.
"No, ma'am, I will try to give my best to you," I said to her, and she chuckled.
Mrs. Elena called out, "Nancy."
After that, a girl whom I can see named Nancy comes to the cabin.
"Yes, ma'am," she said, smiling at Mrs.Carry.
"Please show Miss Granger her desk, Nancy dear;"
"Yes, ma'am, of course," she said to her, smiling at me.
Before I go, Mrs. Elena Cary said to me, "I hope you will enjoy working for Knight." I nodded to her.
"Of course ma'am," I said.
Nancy comes out of her office.
"Here is your desk. Please make yourself comfortable," she said to me, smiling widely.
"Thank you," I told her.
"What is your name?" she asked me.
"Hii, I am Eternity," I said.
"Wow, Eternity, such a lovely name. My name is Nancy Martin, and here is your report for which you must work," she said, handing me a file.
After getting a brief description of my work from her, I sat down at my desk after completing my file. I sighed.
And thinking about Aaron, I can't believe he saved me that day, but he was always so cold and pissed off with me. I don't know why How is his hand still hurting him? I didn't even say thank you to him. He never talked straight with me.
