New positions

Let me tell you a story about a woman who is destined to do so much greatness in the world. This isn't the typical man and woman love story.... There's so... So much more. Hello my name's Luna Strode; I am 23 years old and I am currently an office employee at the Mason corporation. The company has been around for many years since the 1800's. This place has it's hands in everything from modeling, filming, beauty care, etc... I am currently working in the filming department; I do the errands for the producer of this new movie coming out; I believe the name was "True Temperament's". I enjoy the job sometimes, but the work is very tiring from time to time. "MS. STRODE!!!"; yells the producer his name is Steve; I turn towards his direction. "Y... Y-Yes sir", I began to stutter from shock of him suddenly screaming for me; "I've just been told the CEO is calling for you, so you better start heading up". I'm completely speechless, as worry and panic begins to wash all over me; Steve is staring at me with urgency and frustration. "GO LUNA!!", while he points towards the elevator angrily; I begin to apologize as I rush towards the elevator doors, "SORRY SIR!!!". I pushed the button for the elevator as I'm waiting for it to arrive; I just begin to think over and over, "what have I done wrong? did I do something Steve didn't approve of? … What was going to happen to me!?; I hope it's nothing bad". As I feel a pat on the back "Hey Luna", I turn around and see my good friend Malory; "Hey Malory what's up?"; As I begin to become calm from the distraction. "I saw you looking tensed up so I came to help you calm a little bit", she explains; "Well it's definitely working right now"; I take a deep breath, " Thanks Malory". "Yeah, girl no problem.... So why are you getting on the elevator anyways? " As she asks with concern, " I was told by Steve the CEO wants to speak with me ugh... I'm so nervous"; I exclaimed. "I'm sure it's nothing just keep your chin up", she begins to hug me; "Thanks Malory I'll definitely try to", with uncertainty on my face. As the elevator final arrives there stands a very handsome man; with Pitch black hair, silky brown Skin, broad shoulders, and a nice 5 o'clock shadow. Standing what looks to be 5'10 or 6ft not only that; he smells of a birch tree in the spring season for some reason it mesmerized me. "Hello ladies", with his soft toned voice that completely has you mesmerized; Malory immediately begins to brush her hair behind her ear, "Hello how're you doing today". As we both walk onto the Elevator, he begins to smile "I'm fine so what floor are you two heading to", me and Malory immediately begin to blush; "We're going up top to the 70th floor", Malory says being flustered from his words alone. This handsome stranger pushes the button; while him and Malory both continue to converse back and forth, the elevator stops on the 40th floor where the models go to work; "You ladies enjoy your day", as he begins to walk off, we lock eyes and my heart starts to race. The elevator doors close behind him, "What the hell!? ", we both muttered as we begin to laugh, "That guy's confidence was something else!?", exclaims Malory, "I know what you mean he even smelled like a birch tree in.... "; before I could even finish Malory bursts into laughter, "What are you talking about? ", she says finding amusement in what I said, "he smelled like Jack Daniels Whiskey and Gucci's Temptation cologne", I begin to look confused; thinking "how can we smell two different things and he was right in front of us? The Elevator reaches the 70th floor, "Ok girl I'll see you later; I'm heading back", she then pushes a button on the elevator. "I'm about to go get my future husband", as she begins to fix her cleavage and pulls up her skirt; showing more of her legs. "Good luck", as I begin to chuckle "good luck to you to", she says back right as the elevator doors closes. I begin to stare down this long hallway; decorated with red velvet carpet, and the walls with a diamond golden shaped patterns on the wall. I start to slowly pace myself, of what feels like an eternity. Then I hear a gentle voice speak to me, "hello ma'am how're you doing today?". I nervously reply, "Yes I was told the boss wanted to speak with me"; "Yes he's waiting for you, just head on in", as she explains firmly. The CEO's assistant pushes a button on the office phone; "Sir your 3:30 appointment is here". A stern voice responds, "I'm ready send her in". I begin walking to the office opening the door; there I see a man looks to be in his late 40's sitting there. He has Carmel skin, with a high-top fade; he has a beard covering his lower face ear to ear perfectly trimmed. "Please Ms. Strode come sit", as he points to the chair in front of his desk. I begin to walk closer to take my seat; then a familiar smell of a birch tree rushed my nose. "So then that guy came from this office earlier", I thought to myself. I sat down and the man begins to speak, "Do you know who I am Ms. Strode"; he says as he is shuffling through papers. "Yes, I do you're Joseph Night Star Mason; the riches man on earth right now", I said. "Well looks like you did your homework... I called you here to give you a raise", as he looks at me sternly. "A..a raise sir? I don't understand why", as I look at him confusingly; why would he want to give me a raise. "Sorry for not giving you the detail; you see I want you to be my son's secretary, meaning you will be taking care of his schedule and doing anything he asks of you", as he finishes stacking the papers in his hand. "But I", as I begin to speak Joseph cuts me off; "Your pay will be 2500 an hour, you will also be paid weekly". I begin to fill with glee I respond, "I understand sir; when will you have me begin". "Tomorrow; make sure you pack lots of clothes, you may head home", as Joseph turns in his chair facing the window, I couldn't help but be excited about such a nice pay. So, I did what he instructed and went home early in the day and began to pack. In the middle of me packing my phone began to ring, "Hey Malory"; "hey girl where did you go, I thought we were supposed to be hitting the bar tonight!?", Malory being loud in the phone. "I'm so sorry I can't tonight I got promoted so I need to be up early and ready to go"; "OMG!!!!... Luna congrats, you go ahead and get some rest then and we'll talk more later", says Malory excitingly over the phone. "I will Malory goodnight"; "goodnight, Luna", then we both hang the phone up; I finally finished packing and fall asleep. My 6'o clock alarm began to ring, and I rushed out of bed very excited for my first day of my new job. I immediately went into my bathroom to get ready for the day; taking a shower, and brushing my teeth. I finished my hair and heard a horn outside; when I looked out, I saw a white Rolls Royce, with golden rims. I started thinking, "how do they know where I live; I could've sworn I put my mom's address on my application". Then it just dawned on me they're waiting for me, so I put on my stockings, with my off-shoulder lantern shirt, and a skirt stopping at the knee. I make sure to put on my heels, and head down from my apartment. The man standing at the back door dressed as a butler; opens the door and there was Joseph sitting in the back. "Welcome Ms. Strode"; "please sir just call me Luna", I say politely with a smile. "Ok then Luna; how do you feel about today?", as he looks at me with concern. "I'm feeling fine sir; I'm actually very excited", reassuring him. "Good, I already told you the minor details of your job, but to make things easier for you; so that you won't have to make the long journey again". What do you mean sir as I look confused, "You will be staying at the Mason manor"; "Wait... REALLY!?", with shock and surprise on my face. "Yes, that's absolutely right, you will be there at all times; when we arrive to the Manor, I will have one of the staff to show you around", Joseph says proudly. While he is going into Detail, I begin thinking, "I'll be the first outsider to step foot in the Mason manor; there isn't any photos of it just rumors of what people thinks it looks like". As I peep from the car window, I see what looks like an Arch, I roll down the window listening to the sounds of vehicles near us; but then soon as we pass under it all sounds around us deafen. I look at Joseph, "um... Sir where are we?", Joseph looks at me then closes his eyes; "In a land no one can bother us". We begin driving down a trail surrounded by trees I'm just so amazed to how beautiful it is, but soon after; we arrived to a huge 2 story mansion, almost as long as a football field. Joseph taps my shoulder, "I know how your feeling; I feel the same way every time I come home, so welcome to Mason manor.
