Chapter 8 - Mysterious Boss

Jetro has three companies in total, two companies in different countries with the main branch here in New York and then I also found out that the name of the owner of the company is completely anonymous. I really tried to find something but there was nothing, no traces nothing nothing, mysterious right? Well, I don't know if the job Mr Holland offered me is still available but I really want to get in touch with those experts because I like interacting with more intelligent people. I will reach out to them this evening, if the offer is no longer available then I will have to relax and take care of myself, visit home and go on vacations. 

After eating I wanted to watch TV but I became so sleepy that I dozed off as soon as I hit the bed. Waking up now I check my time and it's 7pm. Wooow!! Did I sleep for that long? I guess I was too tired earlier, so I grabbed the laptop on my nightstand and powered it on, logging into my email. I immediately started composing my mail. Well, based on the card he gave me, I could have just sent him a message on Whatsapp or even called him but I have chosen to go through a formal process so here I am composing my mail after which I hit "send" to his email and drop my laptop to go use the bathroom. After using the bathroom I come back into my room to still see my laptop on, I'm confused because the screen should have gone to sleep by now or else a notification has popped in. I sit back on my bed and start checking the laptop and then, what... who the hell replies to an email this fast? The email I just sent has been replied. I'm actually surprised, I open the mail and it reads: when you're free, visit the company for the necessary procedures to begin work.

So is this a programmed reply or what? Anyway I'm really happy the offer is still available but it means there will not be any holidays for me, awwwwn poor me still going to work my ass out during holidays. But I really don't feel bothered, if any need arises I will just quit. 

Fast forward to Monday 

So I choose to rest and arrange myself during the weekend so I can report to the company today. Thankfully the weekend has been good and I think I look better now. I'm dressed in a short sleeve black bodytight gown reaching above my knee and a gray short sleeve jacket on it with the length stopping below my hips. The gown is well covered and the jacket has only one strap to hold it at my belly. I put on a black high booth but not so high still far from my knees. I gathered my hair in a bun, applied light and nude makeup. I have never applied heavy makeup and I don't have plans to ever do that, it just looks so uncomfortable when I see it on people's faces and I don't want to be in that position, besides my light makeup is always fantastic on me. Looking at myself in the mirror I can't help but feel a little proud, just a little dressed up and am already looking yummy and gorgeous even in decent attire. I carried my black bag and took my necessary things with me. I made my way out. It's 6:20am and I'm leaving this early because the company is really far, at least it will take me like an hour and half to get to my destination especially since this is my first time going there, it might be a little difficult to locate. So I'm leaving this early because I don't want to get there in the later hours of the morning and I don't want to get stuck in traffic as well. While locking my door I received a text from the taxi I ordered online, yes I ordered for a ride when I was getting ready. It's a good thing it's already here because I really don't want to waste anymore time. Once I'm outside my building I saw the orange colored taxi packed a few feet away from the exit, I approached it and confirmed it was for me and then off I went. Through the busy road of New York we made our way through and when I finally reached the company it was already a few minutes to 8 O'Clock. I become excited looking at the double three story building facing each other connected by a railing on the first floor, I feel the whole thing is finally becoming real. Behind the buildings is a vast ground with another building which looks more like a factory because there are high tech machines placed around it and other parts of it that I couldn't see. I walk into the building on my right because I can see "reception" boldly written in front of it, as I approach the building the security guard on watch greets me, I feel embarrassed and had to greet him back because he's older than me, I told him I'm heading for the receptionist and he opens the glass door for me to enter. As I stepped in I was greeted by a luxurious view and at a quick glance I realized that the building is under a programmed system. Of course, what do you expect from a company dealing with artificial intelligence? The whole place feels magical, making me feel relaxed and anxious at the same time.
