CHAPTER ONE
Today was my first day at work, I needed to make an impression. I wasn't hired in Wrights' corporation for fun I was hired for work. Especially, when it's very difficult to find a vacancy there; because all employees make sure they are even more careful than carefulness itself so that they don't get fired and because the company needs strong minds and sharp brains, it doesn't hire just anybody. To top it up for me, they certainly didn't hire black people, they only hired a few which I and my best friend included.
I got up quickly and headed for my bathroom to do my usual morning routine which included my business, brushing and bathing. I hurried my breakfast and left to catch a cab.
The ride this morning was shorter than I expected or was it because I was nervous? No way, I wasn't a bit nervous during my interview so why was I now? I didn't know. Dismissing fear, anxiety,nervousness what ever it is I was feeling right now and crossed the road to enter the building when out of nowhere a black ford nearly hit me. 'Just great' I thought. Channelling all my emotions I faced the driver and searched his face for a sign of apology but I found none.
Really?
No apologizes?
I had no time for this. I turned to enter the building when I heard,"You black and blind can't you watch where you are going?"
What?, am I mad? Or did I hear correctly
I turned back and saw him Standing besides his car giving me a death glare, if eyes could kill I probably would have been six foot beneath him right now. Anger and annoyance fought inside of me, I wanted to explode but I tried calming herself, I glanced at my watch, I had fifteen minutes before I was to arrive in my office. Not enough time but I had to reply him so I said "You demonic son of a b!tch that was sent to confuse me this morning, go tell your queen mother you didn't see me". With that I entered the building.
Finding the elevator, I got in punched the number 5 to the floor I had my interview. On reaching there I heard my name turning back it was my best friend Mercy
What a relief
" Christy, how you doing?" asked Mercy.
"I'm good and you?"
"Good, so how do you feel about working here? Nervous?" asked Mercy
"Being nervous is an understatement right now Mercy, but first where can I find Mr. Wright?"
"Come, I'll show you" was Mercy's reply.
We entered the elevator to the seventh floor the third room by the right was where we found Mr. Wright.
"That's him over there" said Mercy leaving me to enter.
"Good morning sir" I greeted
"Good morning Ms. Good heart, please sit down"
"Thank you sir" I said retrieving a chair and sitting on it.
"How do you feel about today being your first day at work?" asked Mr. Wright
"I feel good but a little bit nervous" I replied
"Don't be, don't be it's just work with your fellow humans. No beast works here" said Mr. Wright
Ah good old man, I thought
"And so you see Ms. Good heart, I'm quite aged so I chose this year to step down having ran the company for close to thirty five years now, I have decided to hand the company over to my son who you would be working under as his personal assistant, he would join us shortly, and after getting you both introduced I'll introduce him to everyone here so let's wait for....." his voice trailed off as the door opened revealing somebody.
"Oh, there he is" said Mr. Wright
Looking up to see who just entered, I froze on the spot.
