A new start away from your old life is what you hoped for as you came into view of the building in front of you. In your last job, you were always unappreciated. Taking on everyone else's tasks while being underpaid at the same time. You were half-convinced the people working there had a vendetta against you.
You thought, enough was enough. With a middle finger to the boss, you sauntered out never looking back.
You mindlessly scroll through job positions knowing that being jobless and miserable wasn't a good combination. Having had support from your friends, you were on the search for anything at this rate.
You stumble upon a job that shone out compared to the rest. It was an assistant position to the CEO of a popular company. The place seemed loaded. Your eyes basically turned into dollar bills when seeing the yearly salary.
Scrolling through the mindless rumors online about how ruthless the boss was, he seemed like an angel compared to the co-workers from your last job. What harm could it do to deal with another grumpy coworker?
False hope is what you thought at first. You heard that getting a position in the company was tricky. It was over-the-top strict. Rightfully so, considering how known the guy was you weren't really surprised.
A few days later, you were amidst your friends when you got the call back for an interview. Just a look from your friends was enough for you all to scream and jump for joy. You didn't bother paying attention to the looks being thrown your way. You were on cloud 9 at this rate.
Leading up to now, you were staring holes into the building in front of you. Seriously, the building was a skyscraper. You were sure that if you looked high enough it’d reach past the clouds.
You shake your worries away, opening the doors with a wave of confidence. You got here in one piece, so it was a sign, right? Nothing could go wrong—
Your thoughts were replaced with a hard chest to the face. You were sure you opened the door. Was there suddenly a wall placed in front of you? With a small groan, you rub your head and look up to a cold gaze already looking down at you. Not a wall.
Your eyes flicker to the tag along the man's suit as you realize it is none other than the CEO himself, Grant Steel. You silently curse, realizing his first impression of you was your head basically in his chest. Maybe you should've added clumsiness to your resume.
You quickly back away and before you could speak, you were interrupted by a little girl tugging on the man's suit. You look between them with a confused gaze as you realize... he has a daughter?
