Three months of working passed by quickly.
I finally got the right and permission to fully work.
The rules still apply sadly though.
I might have been happy at work, but sometimes I felt really repulsed especially by theale population.
I really had no idea about why the males at work kept staring at me.
I wasn't that attractive.
Well, at least that was what I saw in the mirror amd what my thoughts revolved around.
I couldn't even properly look at myself in the mirror without feeling pathetic.
Whenever they stare at me, it feels like they can see my soul, I feel vulnerable like I'm being exposed and exploited.
Melissa and Melinda were not making my male adventures life any better.
They kept on trying to set me up with any guy they thought was fit and we would look good together.
I mean who sats they ship people who have have no idea about each other's existence together?
In reality, I didn't really like any of the guys at work.
some of them were shorter, some looked crooked that I'm sure even trolls looked better than them, some looked average and some even looked really good.
Well who am I to judge.
I just say how I feel and how they look like to me.
It's not like I'm saying some of the guys were really ugly and looked really weird with stinky breath and pot bellies.
Okay maybe that's just this one guy in the finance department who is 35 and looks like he is 72. Why would he even think he has a chance I don't even know his name.
Okay maybe I'm complaining a little bit.
Fine, way too much.
I had no grudge against the male population.
I was just generally and genuinely uninterested.
I just love to give praise to whom it's due in my mind.
Melissa and Melinda were definitely not a good influence when it comes to insults.
The fact that the subject about males was even one of the rules I had to abide to made me more uncomfortable.
Obviously there were some guys I wished I could get to know better.
But obviously wish
Wishes can never get me anywhere can it?
Well no.
Silly me answering my own questions.
I was hardly feeling psychologically vulnerable.
Well it's not like this feeling had completely evaporated into thin air.
It wasv still there, it was just gradually creeping up my body, sending chills to my spine.
But there was nothing I could do.
At least the feeling was not making me feel suffocated which was a good thing.
You know when I said Melissa and Melinda were gossip queens, I really wasn't joking.
On a Monday morning when i lazily came into work still trying to wake up, I was pulled aside by the terror pair with the usual "hey girl" greeting and a very suspicious yet crazy grin.
Before I could even respond, they just went "we now have a new CEO did you hear about that?"
"No I didn't" I responded I was supposed to have received the news. I worked in the administrative department and they worked in the finance.
I couldn't help but question "How did you get the news?"
"Is it from a reliable source?"
"Yeah" they responded excitedly without saying more about the source.
"Apparently he is so handsome and he looks like a walking god. You should totally check him out but I think I already signed my heart to him when I was told about him". Melissa responded.
Obviously she loves that look really attractive. She calls them a 'feast for the eyes alone'.
"Well I really hope he is better than the former CEO" I responded "I mean he should be a family member of the last CEO this is an LTD after all"
"I hope he thinks about the interest of this company rather than his pocket. I think that was the life mission of the former CEO" Melinda said.
I couldn't help but laugh and say "I have to go now. If there is a new CEO there should be a meeting then".
"Bye guys see you later".
I quickly went up the elevator pushing the button to the 10th floor. This building was a skyscraper with lots of floors, most of which I haven't explored.
Few minutes after settling and placing a steaming cup of coffee on my table, there was a knock on my door and it was Eric.
Eric was a who also worked in the administrative department with his office situated closer to mine who has a really big crush on me.
To put it in better words, Eric really like me and isn't afraid to show it. He has once told me but I rejected him.
Now he comes to my office informing me of any meeting, walking me to lunch and to my car.
The instant he walked in, he flashed me his one in a billion smile and said "we have a meeting. Are you coming along?"
I liked him but I already shut down my feelings for him and put in the friend zone point.
"Sure" I replied.
We walked into the meeting room on the 12th floor with the current CEO on stage.
This was the employee meeting room and it was as more of a hall with stage and space to accommodate the employees.
"As you might have heard, there would be a new CEO as I'm retiring and I would like to introduce you to my nephew, the new CEO of Blackwell LTD, Felix Blackwell"
We all clapped, congratulated his retirement with half a heart and then the new CEO was called into stage.
