Chapter 14.

Chloe's Pov.

I was trying to repair the knob of the door when the ringing of the landline caused me to jump and drop the hammer I was using on my leg causing me to limp.

I was so sure it would leave a nasty bruise on my leg, but since the call could be of a potential employer calling, I had no time to deal with the pain.

"Hello am I speaking with Miss Chloe Bright?"

"Hi, yes that's me" I said attempting to sound cheerful, but I'm pretty sure it can't out as a growl or something's worse, i really need to put ice on my feet.

"I'm calling from Rave enterprise, I'm calling to inform you that you have been offered the position you applied for, we were really hoping you would be able to start this coming Monday at 7am"

"Of course! Thank you so much! Who do I report to on my first shift? Will I be issued a uniform? I said quickly.

Report to the building's main reception, someone will show you where your working unit is at.

Hanging up, I ran to the freezer pulling out a pack of peas and held it to my feet.

She couldn't believe her luck, after months. She was already losing hope and beginning to panic, she needed to see him to know what happened that night from him she would be able to get in touch with Nick.

She decided to tidy her two bedroom apartment and cook dinner before she went to bed, she downsized somewhere close to the city after her plastic surgery.

The next morning.

Monday came around and I was up before dawn to prepare for the day ahead. She pulled her long dyed purple hair up and looked in the mirror. She didn't bother with makeup.

It was a dark morning and the walk to the business district in the city was longer than I had anticipated, I would have to consider getting a bus pass in the future.

I stopped to stare at the crazy sized glass building dominating the city's skyline. She couldn't believe she'd be working here after many months.

The entire lobby was created with glass and steel from the walls to the doors and even the stairways with different forms of art works.

The reception was easy to spot a big black glossy island located at the middle of the ground floor.

Taking a deep breath, I made my way over limping as I walked towards the direction of the receptionist whose makeup looked all pristine and was dressed in a tightly fitted suit.

I felt entirely out of place especially when the receptionist looked at me moving her gaze up and down with an expression of disgust.

"Hello my name is Chloe Bright and I'm here for my first day, I was offered the post of a cleaner" I said to clarify and save us the stress and time as I placed my documents on the desk pushing it across for the receptionist to take.

I smiled politely which was a waste of time and expression as the receptionist was still glaring at my outfit and hair.

"These would be sent to the HR department" the woman remarked growing as she took the documents.

Then the woman began to types on her computer then nodded at something with regards to something she saw on  her screen.

"Ah I see, you were hired to cover the management floor which is the tip floor, keep your ID card on you at all times and scan it here at the reception to sign it in and out.

I said thank you and headed for the glass elevator it was a long wait in the elevator but finding a little space in the midst of the crowd I squeezed myself in, then I finally mad it to the top floor.

I had no fear of heights but I always have panic attack when left in an enclosed or dark area or environment.

I was relieved that the uniform was a fitted blouse and trousers along with the black pumps they were all a perfect fit.

But when I looked into the mirror touching my face a tear drop slid down my cheeks but there was nothing I could do about it, I needed to stay strong so I decided to get to work.

Tying a white apron around my waist, I took the cleaning trolley and made my way to two frosted doors at the end of the corridor.

When I opened them, I saw another wall of glass with a back drop of the city's incredible skyline.

After daydreaming, I got work scrubbing the white tiles in the large walk in shower moving to the glass desk in the centre room and cleaning it up.

Who had a bathroom and bedroom attached to their office, I wondered clearly as to the fact that the CEO of Rave company loved to enjoy himself in a grand style at work.

I decided to clean the office, throwing away the many empty coffee cartons wiping the glass conference table and emptying the bins.

Quickly finishing up with the office, I went to his king sized bed picked up the duvet and laying it properly, then moved on to the walk in closet which was an unexpected sight.

I wondered if this was actually the CEO of Rave's company home seeing all the basic necessities here in the office.

Everything was so clear and white and it lacked any personality or warmth. How sad, I thought.

I don't yet to see Andrew today, maybe he works in another department I wondered.

Since it was the end of my shift and I had missed lunch earlier I decided to head to the little diner beside my home to get dinner.

On getting there the diner had already closed early, frustrated I decided to go to bed with an empty stomach, which I did as soon as I got home.
