I followed, and to retouch my makeup went into the restroom, When I came back, saw the charming assistant sitting by the advocate's office,
"Hello, I am a new intern for CAD, would you please show me where I have to go?" Kate asked.
"You can speak to an advocate, he will tell you what to do" the assistant replied.
She went inside and was awestruck by the sight of the office and that person looked kinda similar. The chair was facing the other way around facing to window. That man was looking outside,
"May I come in "Kate pleased.
He turned around, that was him!!! Not so strange Elevator person.
"Come in," he said.
"You....you're an advocate " shit!! I thought I would lose this job on my first day.
"Yes I am, do you have a doubt? Why else would I sit in an advocate's chair " he said as he cracked up.
I am stupid to ask that question, Kate acknowledged. She also didn't know what to say further and to avoid that weird moment she changed the subject.
"Sorry I wouldn't have behaved that way in the elevator, as I said earlier I am an intern for CAD, and I have 0 experience in Any company and this is my first job "Kate cleared.
"First of all you didn't do anything to apologize, and the second is that i know everything about you.. Cause I was the one who hired you "
He said.
"We didn't get a chance to introduce properly, I am Derek Jones.
"huh, nice to meet you, Derek, (after a pause)you know my name " shit I did it again.
"Sorry, I am Kate"
"You like to apologize so much, don't you" Derek said as he chuckled.
He then guided me to my workspace and showed me what are the things I had to do. He was kind and polite even while teaching me and wasn't behaving strangely like in the elevator back then.
Kate organized her things in her small workspace next to Derek's office. She was enthusiastic and determined to learn new things and was good at what she was doing, She also learned quickly and within no time she was promoted to assistant designer. Everyone in the office was surprised by the enthusiasm and skill Kate was having. (Meanwhile Kate was busy in her work and Derek was out of station for a long time and he couldn't see her for more than a month)
One day, Derek arrived at the company for an important meeting where Kate represented the advertising and negotiating aspects. after her solo presentation Kate charmed all the board members mainly Derek
"Well done, I didn't know you would thrive so fast, I can hear promotion bells..."Derek said.
"Thanks, you're the one to decide that"
"No, promotions are not in my hand, you have to talk to the director of the company"
"I think I have indirectly done it during the presentation, let's hope for the best" Kate responded.
Derek left the place as soon as he got the call in the middle of the conversation between Kate and him.
why would he run so urgently ,and without saying bye to me..... that call might be damn important to ignore my presence.
