  • Alexander SMITH
  • It's been a few days since I buried my wife, the woman of my life, and I had to explain to my daughter that she will no longer see her mother, a little one to whom I promised to take care of her mother. when she left for school in the morning, telling her that I failed and I couldn't keep my promise neither to her nor to her mother, it's really hard very hard for me and words are too weak to express what you can feel right now, i'm so ashamed that i don't dare watch my daughter do it or spend time with her, i'm definitely the most useless man on earth
  • My mother opening the door in a rush: Alex you're going to make me happy to get out of bed, enough is enough
  • Me covering my face: what are these ways of getting into people's rooms without knocking?
  • My Screaming Mom: Do you think you're the only person who lost someone in this story? you think about your other daughter who lost her mother and is also losing her father? I didn't raise you to be as selfish as you are becoming, you already forget the promise you made to your poor wife before without death? if you don't care and don't care about your promise, at least assume your role as a father to this little one who has become an orphan of a mother overnight
  • I'm going down and I want to see you within 5 minutes if not I won't answer for myself
  • On these words she goes out and leaves me there, she does not even wait for me to give her an answer, I admit that she is totally right, I was very selfish and I failed once again, it is time that I stop thinking about myself taking care of my daughter, she only has me now and I have to live up to her expectations as a father
  • I go into the bathroom to freshen up and I go out to join them in the garden, I'm going to spend this day with my daughter and tomorrow I'm going back to work, if I keep my mind busy I'll think less about her
  • A FEW MONTHS LATER
  • Me poking my head out of my files: what's wrong?
  • William: in 8 months it's the 5th assistant who quits, you can't afford to treat these women like his
  • Me continuing my work: it's not my fault if they're lazy and incapable, it's not up to me to teach them how to do their job
  • William: But be serious, you're terrorizing these girls, you're yelling at them, you treat them badly normal that they want to leave, you're not going to blame them
  • Me: We'll find another one willing to do the job.
  • William: I think you should get yourself a shrink, you're always in a bad mood, you talk badly to everyone, you're the subject of talk in the hallways, I think that's the pain compared to your mourning that makes you react like this
  • Me pissing off: I'm not allowing you to insinuate that I have a problem, if they can't do their job they can leave, they're not here to be friends with me, they're here for work that they take care of it
  • William stops answering and heads for the door but I catch him before he leaves
  • Me catching him: I know you say it for the sake of the company, I'll try to do some work on myself
  • William with a twitching smile: you better
  • On his words he goes out and leaves me there, William in addition to being a longtime friend he is also an executive in the company, I know that he gives himself body and soul for this company, everything he wants things to go back to normal I know; moreover, each time these incompetents leave, it is on him that it falls on him, he is not human resources but he is the only person able to find the right person to do this job, he knows me so much that I don't need to explain my expectations
  • I go back to my work, I don't want to think about what's going on around me
  • Alex JOHNSON
  • Today I have a job interview in a big box for the position of assistant, I'm very happy I needed this job already for the finances and to escape my mom, this woman is really a poison in my life I know it's really not cool to talk like that but it's a case my mother, at least I'm going to get away from her a little if I get this job, it is very important for my mental health very very important
  • My mother opening without knocking: where are you still going this morning?
  • Me answering him: I have a job interview in a box
  • My mother: you are really a shame for me, you are like your father as useless as each other
  • Me getting angry: I have to leave the useless needs this job to pay the bills and groceries at the end of the month
  • My mother getting angry: girls your age, less beautiful than you, with odd shapes can easily find rich men who support them and their parents, but you are useless, despite all this beauty and this beautiful shape that you inherited from me you can't even get a good job without maintaining what a shame
  • Me throwing at him before leaving: you have found such a rich man to support you that at 22 I have to find myself a job to support us well well done mom
  • My screaming mother: cursed daughter, rude, that's why you can't find anyone who wants you, your cousin Elvira is getting married next weekend her husband even paid for her car and land over there in the country lord what did I do for deserve such a child eehhhhh God
  • I leave without even answering her, I come to the end, and really I'm ready to get married to the first comer if he can get me away from her, I've decided not to shut up anymore and keep my anger to myself if no, I risk dying before my time
  • I go out to take a taxi, when I arrive, strangely they do not send me to HR but to a certain William
  • Me greeting him: Hello sir, I'm Alex JOHNSON
  • William: Please sit down, I'm William SPENCER I'm going to put you through maintenance not human resources
  • Me: ok
  • William: well it's not an interview as such since you are already selected, I will just tell you about your position and the salary
  • Me trying to hide my joy: ok sir
  • William resumed: you will be the CEO's assistant, you must be ready to work hard if you want to work with him, you must be there whenever he needs your services, he is a rather rigorous man who likes a job well done
  • Me a little intrigued: I'm ready for work sir
  • William handing me a sheet: this will be your salary
  • Me very surprised: all this for a job as an assistant? I hope I don't have to do anything illegal
  • William laughing: I can assure you no, the CEO is a bit special, let's say it's compensation for all the work you should be doing, I guess you're ok to start
  • Me with a smile: I start whenever you want
  • William: see you tomorrow so come with me we'll take you up where you'll do the magic
  • I am we finish what we have to do and I'm heading home? I'm very surprised at the ease with which I was able to get this job, really I don't even know what to say I'm so happy at the time, tonight whatever my mother says I won't be able to don't get upset am too happy in addition to this astronomical salary they offer me a permanent contract it's the must at the time I'm the happiest girl in the world, I hurry to go tell the news to my mother at least tonight she will be proud of her daughter
  • She will see that we can get by without the help of a man, she will be able to be proud of herself because she did not raise a sloth
