(I hope I did the introduction right)
The heat of high summer is the last day anyone wants to be working in an office without functioning air conditioning.
I was greatful whenever they fixed it this spring but what was the point if it became broke again?
I glanced towards my assistant Sally, who was currently fanning herself with a paper fan created with one of our official statements.
It's been a month since I've worked for this declining company and I've just had enough of it.
The pay is terrible, they don't even have a cafeteria, and to top it all off, the Boss is a pervert.
Sally Moore
Urgh, geez. Why are there always so many reports?
The last time I had seen her finish a report was a month ago. All she does during the day is paint her nails and watch crappy romance dramas while I'm stuck with all of the work.
Sally Moore
How many minutes until we get off of the clock?
Grace Rivers
187 minutes and 54 seconds.
I said it without even thinking about it.
Ever since I came in this morning, I've been counting down the time until I get to leave.
You'd think that being a human calculator would make you eligible to work at a huge company, especially with an accounting degree under your belt.
However, since I graduated early and I'm only 19, the elder generation look down on me like those qualifications are useless.
All they see is a pretty face to be their poster girl.
And then, at that moment, something occurred that would change my life forever.
Derek Smith
Excuse me? Is a Grace Rivers here?
All six of us turned our heads towards the unknown man who had just appeared from the stairwell.
His suit was groomed, making him look sharp and important.
Getting up from my seat, I walked over towards him, confused as to what was happening.
As you can probably guess, we don't get many visitors here.
Derek Smith
I'm sorry, but do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
Grace Rivers
Um, sure. I'm not sure if I can help you though.
Derek Smith
They are pretty simple questions.
Derek Smith
So, what is 3402 times 719?
Why is he asking me times tables?
Derek Smith
Um, here's another problem.
Derek Smith
If a ball was rolling down a smooth hill which was 4 metres long, accelerating at 7 m/s squared, why angle would the incline of the hill be?
Grace Rivers
Excuse me, why are you asking me math questions?
Grace Rivers
I've graduated from university already and I'm not a high school student.
Derek Smith
No, I understand that. My apologies. It's just... I never thought that the rumours would be true.
There are rumours about me?
He then extended out a card to me and smiled politely.
Derek Smith
I'm Derek Smith, personal assistant to the CEO of the Castella Corporation.
Derek Smith
We'd like to hire you as our new accountant, if that's okay.
Hold on... the Castella Corporation?
They only hire the elite of the elite.
Not to mention that he has a think tank comprised of the best minds of this generation!
And he wants me of all people to be his accountant?
And that's how a new path was created for me. One that made my life change forever.
