LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 4: chapter 4
Blondy's eyes go to slits, 'First of all my name is not Blondy and I already told you he isn't here today, and if you keep pushing me I can get you escorted off the premises with our security team'. She crosses her arms in a self-satisfied manner, like she's done the world a favour by attempting to get rid of me.
I actually start laughing at the nerve of this chick; she has no idea who I am. Her mistake not mine. You know the saying, 'Know thy enemy' well she's about to get real educated.
I pick up my phone and dial HR's number, 'Hi, this is Jasmine. I'm terminating the receptionist on your foyer. Send someone down to escort her out of the building with her package. Thanks'.
Incidentally yesterday Nikolai's courier sent over my contract. Inside the envelope, not only was there a contract, but other pamphlets, such as names and numbers of department heads throughout the building, the only thing I didn't receive was my staff badge that would give me clearance to go to all levels in the building.
She just smirks as me like I've lost my damn mind.
Next thing you know a short balding man is running out of the elevator towards the reception desk. He stops in front of me and composes himself before speaking. 'Hi Miss Lovic, my name is Ruben, I'm the head of HR, I apologise for the service you have received from our staff on your first day here. I will quickly remove her from the premises, and have you on your way to Mr. Milordov'.
Now that's what I'm talking about, finally someone with a brain around here.
He talks into his smart watch, and I hear him barking orders at someone and next thing you know a security guard pops up next to the reception desk and he announces, 'Shelly have 5 minutes to grab your things and get out or I am going to have to escort you off the premises'.
Ah the look on her face was damn priceless, and oh so satisfying.
'You can't do this to me!' she shrieks.
She points at me, 'I've been working at Milordov Corp for a year, and you can't just fire me just because she says so!'
I stare at her; with the same bored look she gave me when I needed a hand.
'She can because she is the acting director of Level 13, she's got the clearance, so please leave now Shelly, don't make Stan have to throw you out, I'll mail your severance package to you.' Stan cautions.
'Now if you will follow me Miss Lovic I'll take you up to see Mr Milordov'. He ushers me to the elevator.
Shelly continues to give the stink eye from the desk and I see the security guard move into her line of sight, and the gold elevator doors shut. Ah the sweet taste of peace, so bittersweet.
He punches in a code on the side of the buttons and scans his employee card and we are off.
I glance over at the poor 47-year-old man sweating next to me; I can practically hear his heart beating from here.
I glance at the elevator meter and see that we are nearing level 18 and say, 'Thanks for coming promptly, I appreciate it. I would also like to add that what happened here stays between us, I won't be starting at the HR department until 2 weeks have passed and I have evaluated what I want done with floor 13. I want my identity to be anonymous for the time being. Also can you please get started on arranging my pseudo employee profile so I can start working after my meeting with Milordov'.
He wipes the sweat off his forehead and stammers, 'Absolutely, I'll get right on that Miss Lovic'.
I wave him off, 'It's okay, just 'Jas' is fine'.
He nods emphatically and the door pings indicating that we've reached Nikolai's floor, Ruben leads me to the reception area and tells me to take a seat, whilst he goes over to notify the receptionist that I have arrived to see Nikolai. She smiles at me and leads the way.
