Falling

Chapter 11

Chleo's POV

I dont think I've ever been this nervous in my entire life. Ive just finised getting ready wearing a nude brown crop blazer pant suite with a lighter shade boobtube shirt underneath. I decided to trade my pump heels with an three inch open toe heel with the straps that wraps around your legs. After applying sunscreen I decided not to wear any make up besides maskara and lipstick.

Unlike my mom's 3a/b hair Mine and Cassy's somewhere between 4a/b and i decided to wear it in a sleek low bun with a few stands of curls hanging loose. For the past 5 minutes I've been staring at myself in the mirror. You're a gazillion miles from getting ready to work for a complete stranger, its ok to be nervous. You got this go secure the bag girl. I tried calming myself. I've been up very early more nervous than excited about my first day on the job. What if I mess up. You've been doing this. Nothing new stop doubting yourself.

If I don't get out of my room now I'd be late for work. Taking the elevator downstairs I met Mia as I exited the elevator. "I was just about come to your room. When you're done with breakfast, Ryan your driver is ready to take you to work and back and anywhere you wish to go" she said cheerful. Who is this cheerful early in the morning. "My driver?" I asked making sure I heard her correctly. "Yes I would have taken you but Mr boss man aka Mr Grumpy pants don't like late employees even if you're family."she said.

Confused I asked "You're brother?". "Yes I work at his company K.Russo Inc."she said. "So why don't your dad and him just merge?" I asked. "Kai wants to be his own person he doesn't want to live in our father's shadow that's why he started his own business instead of just working at our father's company" she said. I just nod in understanding. "Well let me get fueled up and leave" I said. "Well Im out. There's disposable to go coffee cups if you want to take some coffee without stopping for some . Are we meeting for lunch? "She asked grabbing her keys. "Yeah text me the details"I said watching her leave. "Will do" I heard her say.

"Ok breakfast I'll just take two of these giant muffins and some coffee and go, yes that's what I'll do" I said talking to myself. After I was done I went outside and found the driver waiting on me like Mia said. "Sorry for keeping you waiting so for so long" I said to him. "No worries Miss Smith." He said. "Please call me Chleo" I told him as I put on my seatbelt. "Sure Miss Chleo. Straight to work?"he said more of a statement than a question.

I nodded my head when looking at him in the review mirror. He is a good-looking man probably in his early 30's. I've been so lost in my own thoughts that I did not realised that we stopped moving. "We are here Miss Chleo" Ryan said. "Thank you. See you at lunch time I'll be going to lunch with Mia. Thanks again" I told him. Opening my door he said "No need to thank me Miss Chleo just doing my job" I just smiled at him and said my goodbyes. Woooow this place is huge. Looking at the tall building before me taking big breath before I enter the building.

Walking up to a friendly looking receptionist. "Good morning and welcome to Russo & Russo Inc how may I assist you this morning" she said, her positive energy seems to be calimg my nerves down. Russo and Russo Inc? I thought to myself. Thats weird I thought he just expanded, why the name change.

"Good morning Im here to see Mr Russo? I told her. "Do you have an appointment. Miss...?" She asked. "Smith. Chleo Smith" I replied. The look of excitement flashed in her eyes.

"Miss Smith we have been expecting you let me call your PA and she'll guide you further. And welcome Miss Smith" she said with a genuine smile. " Thank you " I replied with the same energy. One minute later a cute Asian girl appeared

"Good morning Miss Smith. Im Fei Fei your PA. Mr Russo instructed me to show you around the office and also show you yours. Here is your diary with important dates and meetings. I already have a copy of those and is there anything else you'd like Miss Smith?" She asked. "Thank you Fei Fei. No not at the moment. You may lead the way" I told her.

Half an hour later meeting and greeting people from different departments Fei Fei and I stopped at a door with my name on it. "And this is your office. We have morning meeting in 15 minutes I will be joining you to the meetings every morning. My phone extension number is on page 2 of your dairy along with the others" she said with a smile. "Thanks Fei Fei your a life saver. Go enjoy a quick coffee while I get settled" I said. She nodded and smiled before disappearing.
