I'm already rushing through the Gensler building in an attempt to avoid being late for my first day of work. I'm wearing a loose brown trouser suit, black stilettos, and a black lace tank top with light makeup that completes my look. I applied for the design department so I only have my messenger bag that was slung over my shoulder, and my leather blueprint carrying tube in hand.

Entering the conference room that the desk lady leads me to I saw Mr. Follett and I noticed a few new faces, which I assume are my coworkers.

"Ah! Miss Downey you're we were waiting for you." Mr. Follett said, he smiled throws his arms in the air.

"Am I late?" I asked worriedly.

"Oh, no in fact you are just in time." He said tapping his watch. Thank God, that wouldn't be a good impression for my co-workers. "Let me introduce you to the team." I nodded and he leads me to the big table where everybody was having a chat.

He introduced me to everyone, although I wanted to speak up for myself at the time, I didn't want to butt in while he was talking to them about me, so I let him. After the introduction, I wandered around the room casually making acquaintances and talking to everyone so no one would make a face at me that I'm weird or something.

Be socially active, communicate with them, and feel at ease in the setting. I noticed a blue-eyed man seated at the table using his phone, the light from his device illuminating his face and casting a light reflection on his glasses. He's kinda cute. Girl, you don't even swing that way.

"Hi I'm Y/N and you are?" I said offering my hand and he shook it.

"Killian Jones, nice to meet you, pretty lady." He complimented earning him a cheeky smile from me.

"So, what department are you in?" I asked sitting beside him.

"Construction. I'm sorry if my replies are short I'm not really a talky person."

"It's fine, me too actually. But, would you like to fill me in about the company or what should I expect here?"

"Sure. Well, I've been here for almost three years now and I can say that my experience here is great 'cause they pay well, you know. Uhm, my co-workers are great too everyone is fun and kind even if you're from a different department you'll never feel left out. You can expect that sometimes it's a little bit rowdy here, especially in the design department, so good luck." He said chuckling.

"Thanks, I guess. Well, I'll see you later, Killian. I wanted to get to know everyone, so bye." I stood up from my chair as he waved his hand.

I spent more of my time getting to know everybody before I actually start to work. Everyone was extremely polite and accommodating, as Killian said. I've made a few friends, especially in my department, where we'll be seeing each other frequently. I was talking to my friend Jane about the projects that she had working here when we were interrupted when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned my head to look at the person and I was shocked to see him again.

"Thirdy!?"

"Duh, who else do you think it might be?" He snapped his fingers in the air in a sassy way and rolling his eyes jokingly. I stood up from my chair and enveloped him in my arms.

"I missed you!"

"As you should, honey." He said hugging me back. I haven't mentioned that he's gay, right? Yeah, that's why he acted a little fruity... too fruity sometimes.

"What are you doing here?"

"I work here or working? I'm new here just like you."

"Why didn't you say anything to me."
