Chapter 2 : Thoughts
I woke up this morning to the annoying buzzing of an alarm clock. It was 6:00 and I had just about four hours before I had to be at the WWE building. I first went into the bathroom and put in my contacts and brushed my teeth. Then I went into the kitchen and made myself some breakfast. I ate as much as I could and saved the rest for Charlie when she woke up. I then made my way back into the bathroom and took a nice, long shower. I blow dried my hair then straightened it. I did my makeup, then walked into my room and picked out something to wear. I decided on a teal t-shirt under a gray blazer with a long silver necklace. I matched it with a pair of jeans and silver open-toed stilettos. By the time I was finished and ready I had about an hour before I had to be there.
On my way into the office, I stopped at a coffee shop and got a cup of coffee. I drove the rest of the way and walked into the lobby with the paperwork tucked neatly under my arm. I walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the floor I wanted. Just as the doors were about to close, someone yelled out to stop the elevator. I immediately put my arm out to stop the door from closing. The person walked in.
"Thank you." The person said.
"No problem." I replied. I smiled at the man and saw that he was pretty good-looking.
The man saw this and smiled smugly. "I'm Carlito. Pleasure to meet you."
"I'm Kendall. Nice to meet you too." I said and shook his hand politely. Out of the corner of my eye I could see that he was checking me out and I rolled my eyes. Typical. To me, this was the longest elevator ride ever. Finally, the doors dinged open and I walked out of there really fast, hoping to get away form Carlito. I looked back and noticed that he was walking out too. Of course I knew who he was, I was a huge wrestling fan, but, I hoped he would go to see someone else and not Shane.
As I walked by the front desk, I waved to the lady that helped me out yesterday. She waved back and I noticed the name plate on her desk that said Cindy. I walked to the back, where Shane was located. I sat in one of the chairs aligned on one wall across from the secretary desk. I saw that Carlito took a seat right next to me. I waited there for about five minutes. It was obvious that Carlito was bored because he kept sighing and changing positions in his seat. He turned to me and smiled.
"So Kendall is it?" He asked.
"Yes, like I told you." I replied annoyed already with him.
"Tell me a bit about yourself." He said and leaned over the arm rest a little to be closer to me.
Again, I rolled my eyes. "I'd rather not." I said without looking at him and praying for Shane's door to open. As if on cue, his door opened and he stepped out. He smiled at me and gestured for me to some in. I walked in quickly before Carlito could say anything in return to my remark.
I sat in one of the chairs across from Shane's desk. He walked around to his desk and took a seat.
"How are you Miss Hunter?" He asked and folded his hands together over his desk.
"I am doing great. And you?" I asked politely.
"I am doing just fine. Now, let's get down to business. Do you have the paperwork?" He asked with a small smile.
"Oh, yes. I do." I said and quickly gave him the papers that I had rested on my lap. He looked them over for several minutes. This made me real nervous and I began to fidget with my fingers.
"Alright Miss Hunter," He began and looked up. He saw my fidgeting, "No need to be nervous. I want to let you know that all the paper is filled out correctly and you will start the job tomorrow."
"Oh, this is great. Thank you Mr. McMahon. And please, call me Kendall." I said happily.
"Ok, only if you call me Shane, of course only non-working hours." He said.
"Of course, of course. So what time will I be starting at?" I asked trying to get all the information.
"You will be working 8:30 to 5:00." He explained as I copied the information in my palm pilot.
"Okay, sounds good. So I guess I will be seeing you tomorrow." I said standing up.
"Yes." He said and he also stood up. We walked to the door together and he opened it for me. I walked out and turned to him.
"I want to thank you again for giving me this opportunity." I said.
"Hey, everyone needs a break once in a while." I nodded and turned. I saw Carlito was still there and for some reason I stopped walking and just stared at him.
"I will be right with you Carlito." I heard Shane say to him. He nodded but stood up. The minute Shane closed his door he walked over to me.
"So Kendall, you are working here?" He asked.
"Yes, as a secretary, if you must know." I said as I was walking to the elevator, I could hear his footsteps behind me, following me.
"Well, how about you and I grab some dinner tomorrow to celebrate your first day on the job?" He asked and put his hands on either side of me from where I was leaning against the wall waiting for the elevator doors to open.
I stared at him contemplating whether or not I should say yes. The doors open and I ducked under his arms into it. I hit the lobby button and turned back to him and said, "Maybe some other time." before the doors closed I added, "Sorry." As I walking to my car I was still wondering why I was sorry. He was a jerk and cocky. Why should I feel sorry? He probably already has another date. I couldn't get these thoughts out of my head on the drive home, during dinner, or going to sleep. Those thoughts consumed me all day and it was really bugging me. Did I like Carlito? I just met him. I just hope that if I do like him that he was better than what he was today.
