Brooklyn, New York
(Stone-Michaels inc.)
"Ms. Martinez you are right on time for orientation." The front desk lady name Clover told me as she grabbed some paperwork. "Follow me" she said as she got up and lead me through some double doors. "Wow this looks amazing."
I told her as we walked into an expensive looking office. "So the first thing you usually will be doing is simple." She placed the paperwork on the dark wood tables and went to the file cabinet at the side. "I usually will send you up here to take some files up here to our boss the usually will give you some more for me to look over if anything." She looks around on the desk and picks up three beige folders and walks to me.
"Carry this for me." She says opening the door once again. I follow her back out. "Every file has some form of importance." I nodded my head as we walked towards another office door.
"The pink tab folder come here. These are to make slideshows for future agreements with other companies." She placed all the pink tabbed folders in a small cabinet. "Now these yellow folders are to be given to the big boss on the 10th floor." She looked at me.
"Now when you get up there tell Mr. Stone-Michaels that I sent you there and that I need his blue files from this week." I nodded as she went to go back to her desk. I went to the elevator and pressed the 10 button on it and the doors closed.
As I was waiting on the elevator it stopped on the 6th floor and in comes a man who looks to be around my age. "Well aren't you new?"I just kept my eyes forward as he continues to talk. "You must be the strong quiet kind of person." He continues. "I'm Aidan." He says giving me a friendly smile.
"Just call me Martinez." I told the over talkative Aidan. "Alright so tell me sweet cheeks who do you work for?" I rolled my eyes. "Why does it matter?" I turned to look at him and my face paled. "You no!?!" I started to hyperventilating.
He looks just like him. I felt myself starting to cry. "Whoa are you okay?" He reached out to touch me but I wouldn't have it. "Don't touch me!!!" I screamed to him. As the elevator stopped at my floor I ran out and didn't even look back.
"Whoa hey relax are you feeling okay you look pale." The elderly lady said me. "Yep perfectly fine just tripped." I lied to her not trying to make the woman worry. "Okay then I assume you are a new hire and trying to get those files to Lee your boss?" I nodded my head.
"Alright so his office is behind me just knock on the door and he will let you in. "You're close with our boss?" I asked curious. She giggled and nodded. "Oh sweetheart I'm your boss's mother." I looked at her in shock. "Oh. Okay." Was all I could say.
I turned to go behind the desk and sure enough I saw a pair of big blackish brown doors that had a golden name plate on it that read 'D.L. Stone-Michael CEO' in white letters. I walked up to the door and heard a voice say "come in." As I walked in I saw that my boss was in a very tall chair that his face from me.
"Here you go. Mr. Stone. "I place the files on the desk. "Ms. Clover asked for me to get the blue files from this week if you have them."
He turned around and looks at me and I felt my face pale and my heart moved 30 times faster as I felt myself faint. "Why you of all people?" Was the last thing I heard myself say as I welcomed the darkness.
