1st PoV
Vice President? The second highest position in a company? This company? What?
Mr. Brook proceeded on his feet towards the elevator, and I had no choice but to follow him awkwardly as the workers stare at me intently trying to judge why I'm here.
He was fast on his feet almost causing me to tumble over. I was nervous. I don't know whats happening. Yes, I do now get he's some higher up in this big ass building, which equals to a rich company or something.
But why me out of all people?
Was my hunch right?
A heir?
But that's bullshit ain't it?
We entered the elevator and it started going up, the sign says we're going to the 11th floor.
Woah.
Should i ask him a question about this?
I cough once or twice to get his attention, and that worked.
"What kind of job do workers here do?"
That's what I asked. I already know his the VP so no need to double question that. And I bet he will explain what will I do later on once we've arrived..i guessed so.
Since the building is in modern style, the first thought that pop up for me is technologies and stuff.
I say I'm fine at it. But not programming and all of that, I'm just basics. I know a lot, but just basics.
In a second, he replied back to me serious.
"This is a company. An all rounder company which focus on electronics, technologies, clothes, and our main one is oil"
I nodded in understandment.
"We, Archie and me founded this company ten years ago. We're still young as fetus back then... . I remember when I met him because he's the dumbest person I stumbled upon"
His smile now had the proof of nostalgia.
"I don't know... We don't know.. . In just a click, we made this company and managed to make it a good company at least"
He said ending his story. Well, not really a story. Just a comeback of his past.
Seems the CEO and him are really close. But it does surprise me that they're young when they made this company. Since currently, they look young as heck. What, they made this when they're in kindergarten?
From the looks of it, it seems well managed and good.
"So what's the name of your company?"
I asked interested. Who knows, it might be one of the best out ther-
"Night"
Mr. Brook said.
And there, I stand petrified out of shockness.
Night? Night was a muggle half wizarding company, but only wizards know that they also work in the wizarding world.
It became one of the best company that sells potion and other magical things in the Wizarding World. Though it was not the best in the muggle world, it was still one the good ones there. But who cares about the muggle world part? Their success in the Wizarding World is already enough to compete with Baidu. The most successful company in the muggle world.
But it's still 1989. They probably became a wizarding company by the time 1999 to 2000's comes.
They should be an average successful company for now.
I hid my shockness sweat dropping. I gulp, then going back to myself.
*Ding*
The elevator stopped opening its doors.
Weve stepped out and the offices here were already great even though they're not that successful yet.
His office, I presume, we came in him just freely banging the door open with his feet.
"Wassup aSS!"
He shouted in the empty room, except it was not.
I only noticed there's a person as the office chair near the windows turns around revealing another yet handsome man. His blond and is wearing a very oversized trunks and shorts.
What are these two? Did they really founded this company? I thought higher ups usually wear a very exclusive expensive things like blinding suits that tells me I'm far away from getting that.
The man who turned around, where I see his name in the sign in the table, 'Archiac Caius', sent a glint to the smiling Mr. Brook which exited after receiving his eye order.
Shit, okay, what now...
He stared at me innocently. But behind those eyes.. I swear...
"Good evening, Faust? is that right?"
He asked my name, and I nodded.
"But I prefer Elliot"
I stated from which he nodded.
"Good evening too I guess.."
I uttered uncomfortable here.
"For advance information . He wasn't a scouter obviously with those looks. He lied."
He claims as he stands up getting close to me, I back away as I didn't know what to do in this state.
"It seems so. The workers calling him VP already called him out anyway"
I replied back.
"Seems like him. He's dumb as hell after all"
Chuckled the man, Archiac, while standing in front of me now.
"He said that to you too"
I automatically said as I recalled to when Mr. Brook called him stupid.
He just laughed, but his face turned serious making me gulp.
"I called you for another reason"
He put his hands comfortably in my shoulders. It gave me the urge to it away, but his tight grip didn't help me so.
"Follow me"
He simply said, serious, he opened his door. And got in to the elevator again.
Wasn't 11th floor the highest already?
I followed in and it seems like he was clicking a bunch of buttons on the floor pad. Like a code or something.
And suddenly, without my knowing, he proceeded behind me like there was place to go. And indeed there was.
There's a ducking two doors in an elevator.
A secret room in a work place?
I was astonish in my feet, that it tooked me a second before following him once again.
The entrance was dark since the wall is not the usual glass wall. It seems those sci - fi walls you see on a villain secret base.
I prevented myself from touching it. It was my first time seeing these sci fi kind of walls. It was interesting at best.
I just followed behind him, and so, he stopped at an automatic door with an eye scanner for the password.
He opened his eyes widely, and the door opened. I got in quickly, it might close on me. Usual nervous moments.
Inside was a complete different atmosphere.
There were shelves walling the room, filled with.... vials?
There were experimental glass filled with liquids. Some were empty, some have things in them. Like a laboratory.
In the other side, there were loads of leather and dusty books, and incravings... which is totally out out of this world.
In the middle, comes a table with several book stocking into each other. Some were open, and a dried quill with ink is laying there.
It resembles
a wizard... room...
He turned to me, as I just stand there paralyzed.
"You don't belong to this world.."
"After all, your a wizard"
