Chapter 2

After a knock or two,the voice from inside said to come in..

My hand wrapped around the doorknob,slowly twisting it and opening the door..

Taking a step inside,I was glad that I didn't end up on the floor since my legs felt like jelly..

Closing the door behind me i looked around the office,which,really it hasn't changed much..

"Ah,Miss Latrom,its so nice to see you again!"

The man himself,Vincent William Afton was sitting on his comfy black leathered chair,looking towards me with a smile..

"Please have a seat." he said showing the chair in front of his desk..

With a small nod i approached his desk,taking a seat as I rested the file on my lap..

"I see you are a bit dense,no need to Miss Latrom."

He gave me a toothy smile,slightly making me relax..

"This position means a lot to me Mr.Afton." I slightly clung the file..

"Oh,i know.Do you know why I chose you,Kathleen?"

He stood up,walking from his desk to the small bar that is a few feet behind me,turning my body towards him..

"No sir."

He grabbed a glass and pour some liquor inside,but didn't quite catch the name of the alcohol..

"Want some Miss Kathleen?" He asked as he turned his body and looked over to me,holding his glass..

"No,thank you sir,I don't drink on work."

A small smile creeped on his lips..

"Correct answer." he started walking towards me,drinking a little from his glass..

"So,to give you an answer,I chose you because you are so passionate of what you are doing,you are doing it with love.And that's what I want to see in this company,passion,uniqueness!"

He looked down at me..

"And you,missy,have more than that,and I love it."

I felt my cheeks getting a pink shade,my fingers trailing around the file which made me snap out of it..

"Oh,um,this is the file with the designs you asked me sir."

I handed it to him carefully and he took it,resting his glass on the desk as he flipped it open..

My eyes went wide..

What are you- nonono,not in front of me,I won't be able to deal with harsh judgment now!

"Oh.." He suddenly mumbled,making me swallow hard..

"This one." He looked at me and showed me one of the designs..

It was an idea for a suit i drew for the boss,the best black cloth for the jacket and pants,a dark purple button up shirt with black buttons as the jacket has a pocket with a silk dark purple napkin as the tie was leather,black with a few touches of dark purple..

"Y-Yes?" I cursed myself that shattered,but i couldn't help but feel scared a bit..

"I want this.Do you think you can do this?" He said with a small smirk..

"S-Sir.." I managed to clear my throat.."I would love to try and recreate this design i drew only for you,it really shows off your personality but.."

He raised an eyebrow..

"But?"

"I don't have the right quality cloths to make this happen,if you consider that the whole piece with its individual sections cost,quite a lot which at the moment,I cannot afford."

Vincent suddenly smiled,giving a small chuckle,taking another sip from his glass..

"Well,why didn't you say so?"

He walked back to his leather chair,sitting and looking through his desk before opening his little paycheck book,writing something..

"Will this be enough?" He turned it around,showing me the number making me almost swallow my voice..

T-That's a lot of zeros..

"Sir,I don't think I can.."

"Shush." He interrupted me as I stood up,opening my hand as he ripped nicely the paycheck,giving it to me..

"Just take them and make sure to create this masterpiece,I believe in you,lead head designer."

He gave me a small wink,making me gasp..

I-I got the position!

"I would love to do business with you Miss Latrom,always here to be,the model for this design."

I didn't even realise we were shaking hands until I felt his hand slightly grip around mine,making me look into his eyes..

"I won't disappoint you sir,I will start from today!"

I smiled widely and he smiled back,guiding me towards the exist of the office..

"Scott will show you your new office."
Suddenly i perked up,looking back at him..

"I..won't be with the rest of the team in the designing floor?" My hands clung the file..

"No need to worry about it,its only one floor distance,since you are the 'boss' of this floor,you will need your own office,your own space to work with." He said with a small smile..

"Alright,thank you sir."

He opened the door for me to walk out,though I could feel his eyes burning my back..

"I am always here if you need me for something."

I smiled and turned to look back at him..

"I will remember that."

I walked towards Scott,but only when I reached his desk i heard the doors to close,making me shiver..

"Hey,how did it go?" He asked as he lowered his microphone from his mouth..

"You are speaking to the new lead head designer!"

"That's my girl!" He high fived me and stood up..

"I will show you the new office,you will love it since its next to Sam's office,and that floor is very friendly so you might as well expand your friends cycle than only being me and Sam."

I rolled my eyes as we got inside the elevator,he pressed the number and the doors slowly closed..

"Not going to happen Scott,I am very antisocial,you know how i am around new people."

"I know I am asking a lot but you will have to make small steps to..meet more people..and guys too.."

I lowered my head,rubbing my wrist again..

"The fact that I only had one relationship was something,I don't think I am ready to open up to someone else.People just..don't understand."

I felt a hand resting on my shoulder,making me look up at him..

"Me and Sam get you Kat,I know its hard but you need to try."

Feeling unsure for a moment,I just shook my head and looked at him with a smirk..

"I will try and do as you said,if.."

"If..?" He raised his eyebrow,looking at me with a curious look..

"If you try as well to ask Sam out!"

His cheeks suddenly got bright red..

"N-No way Kat,i-i am not-!"

"Then,I am not talking to anyone,no change." I made a teasing smile and I heard him huff..

"F-Fine!"

I gave him a sharp gaze,as my pinky lift up..

"Pinky swear?"

"Kat.."

"Pinky swear or else I will chop your other 'pinky'!"

"O-Okay!pinky swear!" He gave his pinky and wrapped it around mine,making me smile..

"Good."

I couldn't help but chuckle,as the elevator doors opened,letting me walk out first..

I followed his tall figure around the floor,until we reached the corner office,right next to Sam's that had a small sticky note saying:

"I have a day off,please don't call me unless you want to lose your head.I mean it!"

I chuckled,she is stressed enough and she really deserves a day off..and also yeah she means it..

"This is it!The guys from the designing floor brought your stuff and also some flowers."

I looked at the box with my stuff and the flowers,seeing a small card and flipped it open..

"Congratulations our creative muse!You deserved that promotion!Don't forget about us,okay?We will always be here!-The guys and girls from the designing floor."

I couldn't help but smile more,seeing the flowers..

"Cutie pies!I should go and thank them!"

I put the card back down on the flowers and walked out of the office..

"Don't get carried away!You have work to do!" Scott said from the office as it made me look back,but still walked..

"It will only be a s-Woah!" Without noticing that i stepped on a piece of paper,I slipped and lost balance,but couldn't get any worse as I fall on someone too..

Both we ended up on the floor,papers flying everywhere..

Groaning from the hard impact of the marble floor,I rubbed the spot on my butt where I fall,looking at the person that I fall with..

"I am terribly sorry!I wasn't looking where I was going,I am so excited because i got promoted so my mind was elsewhere,but i-i will help you with picking up the paperwork!"

I kept mumbling,God's know for how long or what I was saying..

I felt so embarrassed,everyone was looking,as the male figure that was picking up the papers didn't say anything..

"Kat!are you okay?" Scott asked worried,coming towards me and helping me up..

"Y-Yes just helping the guy with the mess I made.."

"Don't worry about it,just head down to the designing floor and we will talk later,okay?"

I just nodded as he pushed me towards the elevator..

But managed to glance back,and see the figure dressed in black to still picking up the papers..
