Back to a new week, I always follow my day accordingly, based on my settings. Wake up, workout, eat, leave for work and then proceed with what I have for the day. Sitting inside my office, already planning on how my new book was going to be, I was supposed to be starting it today, but due to the fact I never got myself to think it through last week, I decided to give my mind some rest and make sure to proceed with everything today, but haven tried creating a character from all angles, my mind is just blank, and I can't seem to find the concentration I demand.
A knock sounded on my door, Oh God, I do accept people today, I really have to get myself on track with this today, how am I even going to reschedule this meeting?. I opened the door and welcome my visitor in. Despite however I have planned my stuff, I always make my clients priority, meaning that I am to abandon whatever I have in mind right now and focus on my client before me.
Minutes turned into hours with one client, his story is really an interesting one, where every fault of his problems did come from him, he's just ignorant to situation, even though I tried to get him to understand where it's all his fault, but no, he just wants me to view his story from his own perspective, he just wants me to agree with whatever he had to say, rendering me speechless in total because he just wasn't here to listen, instead to come prove himself right on whatever his story was.
After he was gone with no solution to his visit, I just went back to my seat after I was done closing the door, I sat down, relaxing my back and looking up the ceiling, I just wasted two hours which I never had, if only I had myself a secretary, every client will have to write their stories to my secretary and she would be the one to schedule me the reasonable ones, giving me more time to get some words in the book.
Should that be the only reason I should get myself a secretary?, I don't know, but at least, it gets to give me some time in the table. I opened my drawer, taking three different files up and there it was, the phone number she gave to me, she went back with her CV after I had let her know that I wasn't interested in hiring her, but now, I think I will have to go back on my words to see how this works.
“ Hello Miss..... ”, That's when I realized that I never even asked for her name, Oh God, was I that kind of rude that I never realized it?. “ I'm sorry.... Who am I speaking to please?....”, I had to ask. ( “ Lydia.... Miss Lydia Joseph and you're?”), she asked me. Yeah, that's true, she possibly doesn't know who was calling too, she's at the wrong address when she did came here.
“ I'm Mr David Williams, you came to my office on week ending, enquiring for the role as a secretary which I happened to make sure was never available, but considering your visit, I have decided to look into it and wants to give it a chance......”.
She was silent, she just automatically shut up and I can't hear her, not even her breath through the call. I brought my phone to the line of my view to see whether the time was still reading, and it sure was. I got it back to my ear, “ Hello!.... Are you still there?”, I had to ask, but instead, the call was disconnected.
It took me few seconds to get my thinking together which got me laughing at myself, what just happened?, I probably don't understand what has actually went wrong, can't really explain, just stood there looking into my phone screen, Impressive.
The day went really well later, I happened to find myself a lead on my new book which I grabbed, creating characters around the main lead and giving myself a good headstart, that's sounds like a great achievement today, a positive experience, different from how it all felt when today's activities began.
It's a new day, David Williams living his life the same way as always, just lucky that I wasn't getting bored about my same way of living, probably because of the books I write daily, I actually don't write the same things twice, each day has something to write down about it, something different from yesterday, that ideas always gave me the rush to experience the daily offers.
Getting to my office, she was already there, she's also on the same attire, well dressed or I can say like before, too decent for her dressing, especially for a young girl.
“ So, let me get this straight.... You're too young to work as a professional secretary, you look more like you're supposed to be in college right now or finishing high school, how come you're here looking for work?”.
Curiosity took the worse of me, so I had to ask to satisfy my hunger. Both of us are too young to be where we're, I happened to be too intelligent to finish my school days so quick because I was skipping classes, but for her, what's her reasons?.
“ Life happened Sir.... I made a mistake that took it all away, I possibly have the opportunity to proceed, but no, since I got myself into this position, no one else should help me carry my cross, so I believed I have to do this on my own without listening to people's opinions about my decision.....”.
I sure was taken aback by what she just said, she said those words in a fearful way like her description might possibly ruin her chances of working for me, but the content of her words says she's disappointed in what she had done in the past, but that doesn't mean that she would change the opinion of her future, I don't know her true story, but this is the kind of person my Dad allows to stay around him because she's standing firm on a decision she made for herself.
“ Impressive..... You're hired ”.
