Hey yeah so this is chapter two. It took me ages because I couldn't get the right name for the chapter so... here's the chapter.
Chapter 2: No, not you
Running to work down the snowy streets of New York wasn't the ideal way to get to work in this weather but if I was late I would probably lose my job no matter how good of an architect I am. So there I was in my pencil skirt and high heels running down Fifth Street, yes running well as fast as you can run in high heels down a busy street, to get to New York architectural. Yes! Just a few more blocks away. Almost there, smack! I was hit by a human wall.
" Oh my god, I'm so sorry!"
"No it's ok." I giggled at this comment. Wait Annabeth Chase does NOT giggle. I stood up to look at my victim, "Percy Jackson" he said extending his hand. I smiled and extended my hand too. "Annabeth Chase"
"Oh your Annabeth Chase, he frowned I have an interview with an Annabeth Chase and I've heard that she is so uptight and strict and I just hate people like that."
"Well I hope your interview goes ok"
I walked off feeling a bit angry at that man to be judging someone by what they have heard it just wasn't right what so ever.
I stormed into the building only to be greeted by "why are you late?" I stormed up to my office and slammed the door behind me. "Annabeth!" a stern voice shouted at me. Great! Now a telling off from my boss. I yanked the door open only to see my brother smiling back at me. I and Jake were mum's only kids before the accident but only I was treated badly and Jacob was welcomed with open arms. Anyway back to the story "Jacob!" I yelled at him, "What?" he asked looking at me. Just because he was the manager here he thought that he knew everything. "Annabeth" he yelled one more time snapping me out of my thoughts. "Can I come in?"Without me even answering he thought that it was ok to just walk in to my office. "So..."
"So" he answered. "How are you doing?" Oh no I know where this conversation was heading."I'm good"
"No it's just like after Mark you haven't really had a real relationship apart from your friends"
I told you I knew where this was heading. "Jacob, we have had this conversation about a million times before and every time I say the same thing every time I'm just not ready to have a proper relationship with anyone. The thing with Mark hurt me bad it felt like someone had ripped my heart right out of my chest.
He sighed defeated."Okay, well I tried. The guy is really nice he also rich. Plus it's near Valentines day"He was really annoying me now.
"Don't you get it? I don't even want another relationship hurt too much next time and I really don't want to go through that kind o pain again. Just because your married doesn't mean that I will it's something that you need to accept it. It might not happen for me. Oh and tell Helen and Dad to stop trying to stitch me up with their friends sons it is so awkward and if they want to at least be good enough to at least get in touch with me."Ok, oh and by the way there is a new recruit meeting (AN: I don't know if there really is one) at 4:00 and I need you there being the CEO and everything plus they will be your assistant" he muttered. "WHAT!" I shouted back. Again another decision made about me in which I wasn't included in and besides I don't need a assistant I work late as it is and get to work early I finish all my projects and on time and plus I really can't do with having to tell someone who they could help me.
"Don't forget" Jacob said as final words and walked out leaving me to my work. Ugh! He had to go and tell me before I started my new project. I was supposed to create a block of apartments near The Empire State Building and I couldn't wait to start the project now all I could think about is what Jacob was saying about me getting an assistant and I really didn't want one because it meant knocking down my walls for someone and I wasn't ready for that yet.
The unfinished blueprints were still sat on my desk waiting to be finished. I groaned and got to work. 1 hour later. I looked up remembering the Jake told me to go to the recruit meeting. 2:00 ugh! Two hours left. I really can't be bothered with concentrating. I walked to my window overlooking Manhattan and sighed I realised that some of the greatest architects had designed this outstretch of land and only a few of them would be remembered. I want to be one of the architects with the buildings ever designed and the biggest statue to be remembered by. It might sound a bit selfish but I felt like I needed it. Someone who will remember her for who I really am not what people judge me as. Hot tears started to roll down my cheeks, and I wiped them away feeling a bit stupid about crying.
"Annabeth!" Jake called again knocking me out of my thoughts. "It's time for the meeting." I mentally slapped myself. I totally forgot about it. "Ok I will be there soon." I replied turning back to the window. My day was rubbish, I came in late, had a 'why don't you date someone' talk by Jacob, the weather is horrible and it's almost Valentine's Day. Sometimes it was just too much for me to take in.
I made my way down to the interview room to help Jake. I walked in and he said that there was more than 100 people had come for the interview. I huffed, after the long day I had this is not what a need.
Jacob called the first one in. He was blond hair and blue eyes, said his name was Phil and he got the job because his girlfriend told him to and I smiled at this point. His CV was very good I was considering to give him the job but Jake reminded me that there was lots more candidates for the job.
After about 3 hours the last person was up. Jake gave me his CV it was surprisingly long about 12 pages long which wasn't very normal. I heard a knock at the door and I looked up and who I saw was someone I wasn't expecting it at all.
Cliff hanger well kind of please review
