Tessy wasn't exactly thrilled or excited that she got the job. It wasn't a big deal at all. She wanted to aim higher like maybe, the manager or vice president or even be the president but as things were, those posts were not vacant.
She got up, took back the envelope that contained her resume and walked out. The people outside thought that Tessy didn't get the job that was why she looked sullen. They mocked her silently saying she was a beauty without brains.
'Maybe I should become a doctor next time.' Tessy thought. 'Or maybe a lawyer. I need things that are challenging and not a petty managing firm.' She sighed. Her brain was filled with so many things that she wanted to put it into good use.
They had told her to go over to the managing firm and sign the contract with the manager. She was still contemplating whether to go through with it or not and just decided to go through with it.
"Forget it! I might as well start working now that I'm young and raise my own money." She said to herself as she entered the manager's office.
"Hi, you must be Tessy Wendell." The manager, Jessica, said smiling.
"I am." Tessy answered without a smile.
"I just got a call and here's the contract." She headed the contract over to Tessy and she scanned it through. Remuneration for breach of contract was 2 million and remuneration for terminating also known as quitting before the end of three years was 5 million.
'It's not like I can't afford any of it. If I ever want to resign, I can always pay the 5 million right away.' Tessy thought and signed the contract.
Jessica stared at Tessy surprised. It didn't take Tessy a minute to read and sign the contract. It was like Tessy didn't mind the contents of the contract and just went ahead with it.
'Is this girl serious? Isn't she worried that she might breach the contract somehow? She signed it without a second thought. Hm, she must have a backer.' Jessica thought.
"When do I start?" Tessy asked.
"Tomorrow's fine." Jessica answered.
"Okay!"
"Let me just show you around just in case you miss your way later on." Jessica toured her round the firm. "Okay then, I'll be seeing you tomorrow." Tessy nodded and made to leave.
"Did you hear?"
"What is it this time?"
"I heard the president is coming to work today."
"Really?"
Tessy entered the elevator and pressed the 1st button. The doors closed without her giving a single smile. There was no excitement of getting the job and no excitement of meeting the president. That was if she would want to.
The elevator doors opened to reveal the sound of excitement coming from the workers down below. Tessy wondered what it was that got them so excited.
"The president is so handsome." She heard someone say and rolled her eyeballs.
Just a bunch of crazy president fans. Was this how they behaved during working hours? If that was so, she might as well join the discipline committee and teach them a few manners. Nevertheless, she made her way to the door not minding the commotion.
Mason, who happened to be the president of Preston company, never liked showing up but he had the feeling of going to work through the front door today. He didn't know why though.
The crowd was getting really annoying. He looked round and there she was. The girl that could catch the attention of any sane man. The girl that was extremely audacious… and she was headed for the door.
"Diego!" Mason called and Diego came closer. "Get me the intels of that lady." He pointed at Tessy and Diego nodded.
Diego was the vice president and was also one of Mason's good friends. He was an extremely skillful hacker.
During his college years, he was a pro with whatever that had to do with computers and used that to earn money.
But of course, he got caught trying to steal some company secrets and sell them off to the highest bidder. He was sentenced to death and lost hope in everything until he met Mason. Mason was super smart but playful. He was tactful and had so many plans in his head, not like how he looked on the outside.
With the help of mason, Diego was able to start over and use his skills wisely.
Tessy informed Luna that she got the job and told her to change the schedule for her early morning wake. She was no longer going to wake up by 6 but 5:30.
Usually she would wake up by 6 and do her normal exercises as well as jogging for half an hour then take her bath. By the time she got down, the time would have gotten to 7 and then she would have her breakfast.
But now, she wanted to plan ahead. Tessy wanted to adapt to the everyday working hours and so she planned to take a cab every morning instead of driving or letting the driver take her there. Leaving work depended on how much she had to do so she would call the driver if she ever needed the car urgently.
