My eyes were closed inside Charrie's car.
"The amount you drank and how much time you spent on the dancefloor." She says.
"Hmm, I just had fun. I will be working next day."
"Yeah, enjoy to your journey. I know you can escape it."
"Yes, I will. So take me home." I promise.
It was late at night so I went straight to my room. I sleep after recalling whar happened in the bar.
"Hey, Moriya. Pick an office attire you want to wear." Mommy ordered even though I just woke up and I was still a little lazy to act. It's eight in the morning.
"I guess that black one." My answer is sluggish. I look like a child who needs more support to go to school. But still thanks to my Mom. She is the best tour guide in my life
I took a shower and then had breakfast. As usual the driver drove for me. We got to our company quickly.
I smiled in every hallway I passed. All of our employees are old and some are still trainee.
I didn't bother to enter Dad's office and went straight to my office. The color of the room, is white. One office table, sofa, shelf and plants. It's so simple. It needs to redesign and I want to do it.
I know, to that I am part of engineering team which help our clients and partners in building and design their properties. I know it is an interesting job but it's not my forte.
I was sitting in the swivel chair and watching the outside of the building From the window when I heard a knock outside.
"Come in." I said.
The door immediately opened and a female employee spat on it.
"Uhm, Good morning Ms. Mori. I just want to say that I will be your assistant in every project you will be part of. I am in my table outside, you can call me if you want anything. Also, I am the one who will inform you about the stuff here in the company. Enjoy you first day, I'll be going. " She kept saying she didn't even speak to me.
I went back to the reality that I was already working. I looked at the papers on my table and saw those designs of different buildings. In how many hours, The amount I learned concept. Well, apart from the scenery and animals. I used to draw infrastructure.
But I can imagine, that's how it is.
As I try to get busy and get familiar with things. The door opened, and my assistant entered. Carrying a tray of foods. She gently laid it on the table near the sofa. I didn't know it was lunch time.
"Here's your lunch Ms. Mori." She said as if embarrassed.
"Okay, Thank you. Eat your lunch too." I said to make her comfortable.
She left me and I ate immediately. Actually boring to look at papers. Unlike painting my brain really works.
After I ate, I decided to go to Dad’s office. I want to check him and ask questions also. I tidied up first before walking to his office. When I got there, I didn't even bother to knock. I quickly opened the door and entered. I quickly covered my mouth in shock.
Daile is sitting on Dad's sofa. He is holding some papers and he is alone in Dad's office. Our eyes met immediately. I was about to come out when he grabbed my arm.
I looked over there and I immediately took it back.
"Are you leaving right away?" He asked in a gentle tone.
"Yes, I'll just come back when Dad's here." My answer.
"How's your first day?" He will chase.
"It's fine." My short answer then left him.
Wrong timing when I went there, I didn't expect that I would catch up with Daile.
"Hey, what's your name?" I asked when I met my assistant while walking back.
"Jenny, Ms. Moriya. Do you need something?"
"Do I have anything else to do today?"
Sh looked at her watch before returning to me.
"For today, you just have to check the designs first, that's all."
"Nothing else?" I clarified.
She nodded.
"Okay, I'll leave first." I promise. I know shshe wants to ask where, but she doesn’t seem to want to try. I smiled because of it and I immediately took my bag to the office.
I booked a taxi and went to a place to relax.
I ordered coffee at the coffee shop and looked for a book to read. Just a few minutes later I found it right away. I looked for a seat, but there was no vacancy. Because I was in need, I just sat at a table with only one person.
I put my coffee and immediately opened the book to read. I have not yet reached the second sentence of someone who called my name.
"Moriya?"
I lowered the book I was holding and turned to the person in front of me now.
Randall is holding a book too, just like I'm holding.
"Hi" I said awkwardly.
"You are here, I guess you are working in your company." He said, as if we are close.
"Yeah, you?" I will ask.
"Still studying."
"Poor you." I said and read again.
I heard his weak laugh and we became quiet as well.
Well, I would prefer his condition to study again. And at least after that he can get the profession he wants and that is to be a lawyer. While his brother and I will drown in our family business.
What else can I do, I'm only a child. No one will handle it, if ever my parents are gone.
On the contrary, I am still to be expected.
I stopped thinking and resumed reading. I'll go back to the office, maybe I can rent this book and just return it later.
It's just annoying that Randall and I are reading the same book now.
