Chapter 1: Introduction
It’s Becky’s first day, as she enters the building her anxiety and excitement for the day is brimming. Her stiletto heels pound the marble floors echoing off the walls as she makes her way to the elevator.
She is stopped by the front desk person “excuse me! Miss! You need to check in! And get your badge!” the front desk person says with a warm smile. Becky reach the desk, presenting herself to the receptionist with a professional smile “Good morning!” She replies, taking the badge from the receptionist. The badge, adorned with her name and the title of “Executive Assistant,” felt like a tangible symbol of her hard work and determination finally coming to fruition.
As she takes the elevator up to the 82nd floor, the glass doors open to a luxurious office space that seemed to sprawl out before her.
The floor is empty except for the person greeting her. He smiles at her warmly before speaking, “Good morning miss…?”
“Becky Smith,” she introduces herself, returning the smile.
“Ah, Becky! I’m Scott, vp if operations. Your new boss will be in shortly he wanted me to be here to greet you.” he extends his hand towards her and she shakes it firmly, noticing how soft his skin is compared to her own.
At their initial meeting, she is informed about the “full service” aspect of her job, which shocks and intrigues her. The words hang in the air, heavy with implications as she’s still unsure what that’s going to entail.
Scott is a charming man, with a slicked-back hair, sharp jawline, piercing blue eyes, and a smile that could melt ice. His presence in the office, besides the untouchable Jay Ruin who was known to command the space, was comforting in Becky’s uncertainty about her role.
Suddenly the office door creaks open and out strides Jay Ruin, a man of towering stature, distinguished features, and an air of power that holds the room captive.
His eyes rake over Becky with a blazing intensity that leaves her flustered. He strides towards her, extending a firm hand "Jay Ruin, pleased to meet you." The grip he had on her hand left an indelible imprint on Becky’s mind, a sign of things to come.
"Ah Becky, thank you for joining us." He leads her to a plush corner office that offered a panoramic view of the city below.
