Chapter 1

APOV

I sat nervously chewing on my lip ring and praying that the color streaks were still hidden. I really wanted this job and I didn't want my expression of individuality to stop me from getting it. I was pulling at an imaginary string on the hem of my skirt when I heard an angelic voice

"Ms. Callan?"

"That's me. I mean I'm Ms. Callan."

"Nice to meet you. I am Carlisle Cullen." He led me into a large office with very little furnishings. I sat in the chair across from the desk and handed him another copy of my resume. "It says here you graduated from UCLA with a degree in marketing and design, yet you are applying for the position of secretary."

"Yes. I really want to break into the business and I have admired the work of this firm for a long time. I am willing to take an entry level job work my way up and prove my worth."

"How are your people skills?"

"I worked for five years waitressing at a small pizza joint on campus. I can handle all kinds of people. There's nothing worse than drunken teenage boys."

"Our dress code is very professional. Can you fit in with that?"

"I can wear my invisible lip ring like I am now unless you want me to take it out. I just feel that to work well with others a person needs to be able to express themselves, within reasonable means of course."

"We never frown upon individuality as long as it's not extreme or interferes with work."

"Oh."

"I don't think your look is extreme though. You seem like a very well rounded young lady and very smart. I think you are just the person for the job. Can you start on Monday?"

"I can start as soon as possible. "

"Let's take a tour and head over to HR." We went to a huge elevator and when it opened it had a clear glass back and you could see a beautiful courtyard in the middle with lots of beautiful trees and flowers.

"That's beautiful."

"That's where our employees can go for fresh air and peace and quiet to think or work. Ok here is the floor for HR. When we are done here I'll take you up to see your desk and get you acquainted with the building. You're just what Edward needs." The comment threw me off a little but I quickly let it drift to the back of my mind as I filled out all the appropriate paper work and took my badge picture. Tanya the HR clerk looked at me.

"Seriously this is your name?"

"Yes Aeryn Seana Callan. My dad's ancestry is Gaelic."

"Well it's definitely unique."

"Thank you."

"Here's your temporary badge, garage pass and door key for the garage entry. If you have a car you must park in the company garage. If not you can enter through the front door. These are your keys to your office and desk. And this is your elevator password. DON'T LOSE IT!"

"Thank you. I won't."

"Your permanent badge will be ready Wednesday." When we were finished there we went to large black elevator door at the end of the hall. We stepped out into a large office waiting area.

"This will be your floor. That desk where Jessica is sitting will be your desk. Jessica got married and is moving back home with her husband."

"Mr. Cullen, if Edward is over the advertising department, why is he on this floor alone?"

"You may call me Carlisle. He's not. But the rest of the department is on the other side of the red door. See you can use either elevator but this one is the one that our clients use so our head of advertising will be on this side of the door." The explanation didn't make sense to me but hey what ever worked for the company.

*****Later that night*****

"Yes dad I got the job. I know I start Monday...I'm at home because I haven't met anyone or made any friends yet... I will dad...Love you too...Yes Shathan is staying with me this weekend. I couldn't dream of letting him stay in a hotel...Goodnight I'll call next Friday when I know how my week is going." I hung up and turned on TV. I decided to watch a movie. I turned on The day the Earth Stood Still and grabbed my plate of spaghetti. I was so excited I doubted I would sleep. My phone beeped and I picked it up. Shathan had sent me a text.

"Hey sis will be at airport at 10 am can't wait to see you and go sightseeing before I have to ship out."

My big brother had enlisted in the military and was being transferred to a base in Tokyo. He was flying out from Seattle and I decided to let him stay with me for a couple nights before he left. I was so going to miss him. It had always been me him and dad. He was 5 when I was born. Dad never remarried and worked himself to the bone trying to raise us and then send us to college. He was upset that Shathan decided not to go but when he enlisted in the military he took college classes but ultimately made a career out of it. Dad couldn't be more proud of him now.

Cullen Advertising was one of the most prestigious firms in the business. They started from scratch and were tops in less than 5 years. I couldn't believe I was going to be working for them. I just had to make it through this weekend with this excitement. I tucked myself into bed and waited for sleep to come.

I threw my alarm clock across the room when the alarm went off at 8. I covered my eyes and tried to go back to sleep. Then it hit me. I had to go pick my brother up at the airport. He was flying in from Georgia and was leaving Sunday night for Tokyo. I was going to spend all day today and Saturday hanging out with him and showing him around. Then Saturday night I'm taking him to forks to visit dad. Surprises are eminent. I showered and dressed. I ate my breakfast of Cinnamon toast crunch. Hey I hate all that healthy cereal. Headed out to the airport. By the time I made it there it was five minutes till 10. I was nervous. I hadn't seen Shathan since he came home for a couple weeks after boot camp. And I seriously didn't want to remember that as a happy time. I had never seen him that mad at me. I see him standing at the baggage claim talking to two other guys. I assume they serve with him but hey you never know. He sees me and waves me over. I walk over and he pulls me into the biggest hug I have ever received.

"Sis this is Harry and Ron they are heading to Tokyo as well. Guys this is my little sister Aeryn."

"Damn Shathan I see who got all the looks in your family" I couldn't help but blush.

"So Shathan you ready to go? See you guys on the plane." We drove in silence for a while til Shathan looked over at me.

"I'm sorry for getting mad at you sis. I wish I had come back sooner. I just thought that you could trust me to look out for you and I screwed it up. "

"I really don't want to talk about it anymore. I forgave you for being mad at me. I'll never forgive Jackson but it wasn't your fault."

"Wasn't my fault? He was there to visit me. He had been drinking. I'm as much to blame as he is."

"It's in the past. I don't like talking about it. Let's enjoy our visit."

********Sunday night********

"Sis this weekend has gone by too quickly. I'm glad we surprised dad. I'm going to miss you guys. I'll call as often as I can. Enjoy your job. I hope you kick ass."

"I'm just a Personal Assistant slash Secretary for one of the bosses."

"You'll still kick ass. You are one of the smartest and most creative people I know. You'll be climbing that ladder in no time." I hugged him choking back the tears. He waved and went through the gates. I stayed and watched his plane leave finally letting the tears fall. I really was going to miss him. I drove back home and straightened up a little and went to bed.

The alarm went off at 6 and again I wanted to throw it across the room but then it hit me I started my new job today. I jumped up and took a shower. I carefully styled my hair and changed my lip ring back to the invisible one. I dressed in a black pencil skirt and dark blue silk blouse with matching pumps. My brother told me I have split personalities. I dress like a punk princess most of the time then a stuffed shirt the rest of the time. I laughed at the memory and went to the kitchen to make my lunch. I fixed my grilled chicken Caesar salad, a tub of yogurt and some frozen raspberries. I grabbed my purse and iPod and headed out the door. I stopped at Starbucks and grabbed a Caramel coffee and continued on my way. I walked in the building stopped at the front desk to see where I clocked in. I forgot to ask that when I was being shown around. He laughed and asked me for my badge. He frowned slightly when he seen it was a temporary badge. He scanned it and then handed it back to me.

"You're clocked in. Stop by at end of day and scan it on the scanner sitting on the corner here. Just make sure you check with Tanya and make sure to get your permanent badge." I thanked him and made my way to the huge black elevator at the end of the hall. Everyone was staring at me. I smiled and kept on walking; I entered the password and went to the top floor. I turned on the coffee pot and made a fresh pot of coffee, turned on the computer and logged in. There was a letter on the desk from Jessica detailing my job description and work laid out for me. I put my purse away in the desk and my lunch in the mini fridge hiding under my desk. Interesting! The work week passed quickly and I have yet to meet the elusive Edward Cullen. Maybe next week.
