This day couldn't be even more horrible until now.

You were supposed to be at the office by 10 AM for a meeting with a very important individual but long before that, you also had errands to run.

You had to fill in your assistant as she was taking maternity leave. This meant you had newer responsibilities.

By 8 AM you were running to the boutique to pick out pieces for your client and a consultation right after but as your client cancelled last minute and the boutique was opening late, you were becoming stressed.

The day was hectic. New York was a busy city. Everyone is minding their business, walking to work, or taking the subway. But oddly enough not one person seemed in a rush but you. The seamstress was off duty, the cashier from the boutique was new and you were late.

By the time you picked up the pieces and headed out of the store, you felt a hard push against your shoulder and it made you crash out.

"Watch it, asshole!"

Not even attempting to accept the apologies from the man in front of you, you stormed off to the office.

You arrived at 10:37 AM because the subway was packed with people. It's true when they say New York is the Big Apple because everyone is taking a big bite of space. Beggars, hustlers, and tourists, were in the way of your destination.

The doors to your office opened and you met the eyes of someone unexpected. It made your heart drop.

The man you bumped into earlier was in your office. He was eyeing your work on the bulletin board, "Nice to see you again." He said and you could tell by his tone that he was business and you fucked up.
