His Interior Designer novel Chapter 2

"Ms. Morris, I need you to go down on the eleventh floor and pick the file of our new project at the receptionist there. Then, come and meet me after that file is with you. Is that clear Ms. Morris?"

"Alright, sir will do." I put the phone and immediately go and make my way to the eleventh floor to take the file of my first project. I feel so excited about it.

"Hello there, can I get the file which is the new project for this company?" I ask politely when I arrive there.

"And you are?" The receptionist didn't even look at my face because she just to busy with her nails.

"Thea Morris," I said and wait for her to give the files patiently. "Ehem, I'm still here." I clear my throat and she looks at me with an unsatisfied look. She hands me the files and mumbles something that I don't even understand. I walk back to her and look at her. "Do you say something just now?" I ask.

"Then? If I did say something that is your problem?" I scoff.

"You know, I love the color but when you put it on your nails, it's turn out to be super ugly. So I think you better stop coloring your short ugly nails and do your work. Gotta go nice to meet you." I smile at her and walk towards the lift. I hear her say something to me but I just let it be and walk into the lift. I can't believe she even has time to color her nails in working hours.

I knock on the door to meet Mr. Gerald. I walk in when I hear he said to come in. "This is the file, sir." I put the file in front of him and he looks at it for awhile before giving it back to me.

"As you know, this is your very first project and I hope you will give the best in it. Also, this project will take about 4 years. So you have plenty of time to think about the design and all. This project is going to start in three days and also when you done with your designs, you don't have to show it to me because I'm not the one who capable to choose or approve those things." I raised my eyebrows.

"What do you mean by not capable?" I ask him.

"Let me tell you alright Ms.Morris, this company is under The Sanchez Holding Cooperation and of course I'm not the one who owns this building but I am one of that our big boss trusted person that's why I sit here now." I'm speechless. The Sanchez Holding Cooperation? What the actual freaking ... Whatever.

"So you mean there's another person who holding the power of this entire building?" I ask him and he nodded his head.

"You're right. So I think you know all of it already. You can start to sketch your design starting today because Mr. Sanchez will come here and meet you in two days. Oh and the things that you need to know all in that file. The concept, the theme and all that things." I nodded my head and I stand up from, the seat and take the file before walk out of the room. I still can't believe this. Am I dreaming? Hallucinating? Why didn't I know any of this things when I asked for this job? I pinch my cheeks and its hurt. So that's mean, I'm not dreaming nor hallucinating.

Sanchez, Sanchez, Sanchez

It seems familiar to me but where did I hear that name? I shrugged and decided to search for it later. At least I have a job now. I put the file on my table and take out a few blank papers to start sketching it.

Thea

This morning I woke up two hours early because I don't want to be late for the second time. It's only 6:00 in the morning. I smile at myself because I have plenty of time to get ready also have my breakfast in peace. I take a shower and it's freaking cold. Gosh, I turn the cold water no wonder. The worst part is that I only realize that when I already finish the shower. Good job Thea...

I shivering so bad when I'm out of the bathroom. I quickly find the clothes and wear them. I wear my undergarments and then I take my white jeans and pair it with my green blouse. You know, my clothes still in my luggage because I just too lazy to unpack. Maybe later I'll unpack later after work... Or maybe not. I walk to my vanity table and do my hair. My hair is dull and boring because it's just straight and long. So I decided to make it wavy. It takes like 15 fifteen minutes and also for my face I put some foundation, concealer, mascara, eyeshadow, blusher, and the other thing but not too much just a light one. I don't like to have a heavy makeup on my face because I feel quite uncomfortable and I feel if I did put the heavy makeup, I might look like a clown. Oh no no...

"I'm an accountant and yeah been working in that company for 5 years." I nod my head.

"And I just realize that you were so fluent to speak English. Where are you from?" I ask.

"California. And I just got changed here. That's why. Also, I didn't have many friends here. Just a few but they're just like a colleague. Only talk to them about work only." I nodded my head.

"Oh yeah, how do you know if I'm new here?" I ask.

"Because I never see you? So I assume you're new." He smiles and boy that makes me melt.

It's turn out to be so fun to talk to him. We eat our breakfast and talk about everything. I like talking to him. He just talks to me like we already know each other for a long time. Not awkward as I thought which is good. And I also know that he's actually gay. I'm shocked in the first place because why is someone that handsome and hot like him have to be gay.... like what? But at least he's cool. After we finished our breakfast, we walk together and get to the company.

"It's really nice to get to know you, Thea. So, meet you for lunch?"

"Sure." With that, he walks out to his floor and I made my way to my floor. I great the receptionist as soon as I get out of the lift and I got the most beautiful reply ever. She didn't even seem to notice me. Wow. I roll my eyes and walk quickly to my room. I have like 20 minutes before 8 in the morning. So, I just play with my phone until it's 8 o'clock. Well, I'm not the one who will do my job even though I'm early. So let's play subway surf. The game that makes me stress but it's a fun game, by the way, no offense.
