CHAPTER 2- From BAD to WORSE

7 am Wednesday May 29th

You know how I said it couldn't get any worse? It can. Apparently Daddy told Uncle Rin that I needed a job. Can you believe it? Me?! So he has arranged for me to be a P.A. for some big Executive guy in his big business. Machina Factions Inc. I was gonna refuse but I have to do it to show daddy that I can be what he wants me to be and get my babies back. So he woke me up at 6:00 this morning and told me to put on my professional wear.

So I put on my cute black Marciano mini skirt and white dress shirt with some black leather Gucci boots with the 4 inch heel and metal Gucci crest. So cute. And with my hair in a high ponytail and that black clutch Gucci purse I look so professional.

Knock. Knock.

" come in" I say. In walks Uncle Rin in his business attire as well.

" ready to go?" He asks. He looks at my outfit and giggles." Is that your most professional outfit?"

" Yep." I smile and do a model spin. " Don't I look cute?"

" Uh.Yea. Come on.. Or we'll both be late." I wonder what he meant by 'uh.yea'

8:15 am

Uncle Rin's Office building is HUGE. He said it was 37 stories tall and he sent me to the 27th. He said that's where my boss was. Now what was his name Mr.……Beads….no Bagel…no….Ballot…..no…..what-

" Are you here to see Mr.Bailon?" A lady's voice says as I step off the Elevator. I turn to see a shorthaired blonde with green eyes. Definitely an Albhed. "Hello.." She says again

"Oh. Um yes." I walk over to her desk which sat in what looked like a wide hall with two big mahogany doors at the end of it. I held out my hand to offer to shake hers " I'm Rikku Summers. I'm the new P.A." I say smiling.

" Right." She says standing up and grabbing a planner from on top of her desk and a black berry. " Here you'll need these"

' but I already have a black berry." I pull it out. "See mine is pink"

" This Is the one Mr.Bailon has all his Personal Assistants have." She tells me.

So I shake it off and I took the items.

" Personal Assistant? So what's a P.A?" I ask. She looked at me like I was stupid.

"Your Late. And obviously kidding." She tells me. " Sit there." She points to a sofa opposite of her desk. " Mr.Bailon should be here at 8:25"

" If he's not here then I'm not late." I tell her, sitting on the couch putting the new blackberry in my clutch. " I'm early. I was supposed to be here at :15 right? I'm on time."

" Early is on time. On time is late. And late is unacceptable. You'll do good to learn that. Especially if your gonna work here." She said it so mechanically.

' what stick is up her ass?' I think.

And just like Stiff Bitch said. The elevator doors opened to reveal a man with sunglasses. He didn't look old. Had spiky blonde hair and looked well built. About 6"3 maybe and he had on a sexy black Armani pin strip suit. I saw it in the store. He must be loaded because it cost 4000.

" Mr.Bailon , your 5'o'clock rescheduled for 6 and you 6'o' clock rescheduled for 8." The stiff Bitch said handing him some papers and a coffee. Starbucks. I could smell it. A vanilla mocha latte. Non-dairy. I prefer mine chocolate.

" Thank you Nhadala. Did Rin send that new P.A. He told me about. I hope she isn't as bad as the last one." He had a sexy voice. It sounded like velvet.

" Yes she's right there." Nhadala said.

He looked my way but I couldn't see his eyes. Nhadala motioned for me to stand up behind his back. I did and introduced myself. Hold out my hand to offer him.

" Hi my name is Rikku Summers." I smiled.

" Right." He chuckled. He walked to his door and I followed. " Come on. We have lots to catch you up on. Starting with dates, times, and events." He looked at me for a second " Summers."

Ugh. I see this wasn't gonna be a good day.

5:45pm

Now I knew it wouldn't be like picking daisies but I never fathomed that being Mr.Bailon's Personal Assistant ( which I found out was P.A) would be this rough. He had me filling out times, dates and events in the planner. And important numbers and emails in the black berry. He had me run out onto the streets to get him lunch. And I was just coming back with dinner. Along with a drink he wanted me to get. Which was impossible to find. I mean like what the hell is a " monster"?

But I'm so glad when I get up to the 27th floor ,because I see Nhadala getting ready to leave. Which means its quitting time. I can take off these boots that hurt ,because of all the walking, and sleep in my nice comfy bed. I walk into Mr.Bailon's office and put his dinner on the desk as he's on the phone with someone. Probably someone important.

I take my stuff and get ready to leave. And just when I get to the door I hear.

" Where do you think your going?" Mr.Bailon asks. "Your not done. I have files that need to filed."

" Home. Its quitting time." I say tired. " Nhadala is leaving"

" Because Nhadala gets off now." He says "You don't get off 'til I do."

"What?" I let out a long sigh looking up." What's wrong with the world these days?"

" Your in my world, Summers. And as my P.A. you've got a lot to learn. So start filing." He tells me. Then starts writing things down on forms and what-not.

I look over at the pile of files and it dawned on me.

Things have gone from bad to worse.

To Be Continued.
