Maria stood in front of the company's building with a smile. She closed her eyes for some seconds before she opened them and walked in joining the many people that walked through the entrance into the company.

She joined the elevator with a couple of people and got down at the president's floor. She looked at the corner where the office of the CEO was probably located and went towards her office.

Maria opened the door and saw Paul on her chair.

Paul looked at his wrist watch and spoke 'you are 15 seconds late, Miss Lee?'

'Huh?'

'Follow me' Paul said and went out of the office. Maria didn't bother putting her bag down, she just went with him.

Paul took her to an office around the corner and pointed at an empty desk and said to her. 'This will be your new office. You will still report directly to me. Your work will be supervised by me as my assistant'.

'Yes, Paul' Maria said.
