Brayan: I walk to the pool house, hesitating whether to knock or not. I end up knocking and Nicole comes to answer the door. She opens it, wearing discreet gray pajamas, ready for bed.
Good evening, Nicole. I came to see if you were settling in well?
Nicole: Good evening, Mr. Brayan. Yes, Conceiçao helped me. Can I walk around the property?
Brayan: Of course! Would you like to take a walk now to get to know the place?
I speak and regret it at the same moment. I don't know what went through my head!
Nicole: It's better not. I'm not sleepy and I'll take a walk later to get to know the place. Thank you, good night, Mr. Brayan.
Brayan offers to accompany me and I don't accept, of course. After what his mother said, I just want to stay in my place as an employee!
Brayan: Good night, Nicole.
I'm mentally thanking her for not accepting. I go back to the mansion and head to my room. I do my hygiene routine, take a shower, put on sweatpants, and lie down. I'm almost asleep when I remember that I didn't warn Nicole about Zeus. He stays loose on the property at night and doesn't like strangers. I get up as fast as I can and run to the pool area. When I arrive, I am surprised to see Nicole practically hugging Zeus.
Nicole: Brayan appears running, seemingly worried, and I get startled. He's wearing sweatpants and no shirt; his body is pure muscle. I try to avert my gaze.
Brayan, is everything alright?
Brayan: Yes, I forgot to warn you about Zeus. He doesn't like strangers. I remembered that you would be walking around the property and that he's loose at night.
Nicole is embarrassed and looks away. I didn't have time to put on a shirt.
Nicole: Conceiçao introduced him to me when I arrived, and it was love at first sight. Isn't it, Zeus?
Zeus jumps on me and I almost fall. Brayan supports me with his hands. I'm even more embarrassed.
Thank you, I'll go inside, it's getting cold. Good night.
Brayan: Good night to you too.
I pet Zeus and then go inside. I lie down and the image of Nicole with Zeus is stuck in my head. He usually hates almost everyone.
Nicole: I enter the pool house and Zeus is crying outside. I leave the door ajar for him to come and go as he pleases. The shameless dog lies down on the bed with me. I fall asleep quickly. I wake up very early, get dressed, have coffee with the mansion staff, and spend almost half an hour leaning against the car waiting for Brayan. I prefer to arrive early than to make him wait. He shows up and introduces me to the security personnel.
Brayan: I arrive and Nicole is leaning against the car. I have to pretend everything's fine because, frankly, I find all this very strange!
Good morning, Nicole. This is my schedule. Now, let's go straight to the company. You don't have to ride with me. You can stay wherever you prefer, inside or outside the company, just be available if I need to leave!
Nicole: Good morning, okay.
Brayan gets in. I don't turn on the radio and I leave the air conditioning at a pleasant temperature, as I don't know his preferences yet. I've driven a lot in this city, so I know several places and shortcuts. I head to the company in silence, taking the fastest route.
Brayan: Nicole, I told you I want to go straight to the company!
I can see that this adaptation won't be easy.
Nicole: We're going to the company by the best route, Mr. Brayan.
Brayan: I don't like changes without being informed first! I told you the way I go daily. Pay attention to what I asked you to do.
Nicole: Right, Mr. Brayan, it won't happen again.
Difficult to deal with, isn't he?! I know... Difficult is my middle name. Brayan is a jerk who wants everything his way. I'm literally saving time, and he wants to complain without even seeing the result!
Brayan: We arrive at the office 20 minutes early taking the route Nicole chose. Damn, wasn't she right! I get out of the car and follow the security guards to the office. Nicole goes to HR to register her access card for the private garage.
Nicole: Good morning, I need to go to HR to get my access card.
Receptionist: Good morning, photo ID, please.
Nicole: Here.
Receptionist: What position did you fill?
Nicole: Mr. Brayan's driver.
Receptionist: Hahahahaha... Your document!
Nicole: Did I say something funny?
Receptionist: To say the least, it's a joke, right?
Nicole: I take a deep breath, look at the receptionist's name tag, then look her straight in the eye.
Vilma, is it?! My dear, I'm a driver, not a comedian. I didn't tell you a joke, so put that silly smile away and be a little more professional, because I didn't ask for your opinion about my profession. Since we'll see each other quite a bit around here, I suggest you be more pleasant next time. Have a good day!
Vilma: Did you hear that rude woman? I'm shocked! She won't last until the end of the week, that classless little thing.
Receptionist II: So arrogant, thinks she's all that!
Receptionist III: My friend, I know people like that; she'll fall flat on her face soon! Now, did you see Brayan?! What a snack!!! I'm sure if that man looked me in the eye, I'd faint.
Vilma: He doesn't even look real, too bad he doesn't get involved with employees. I heard he turned down Katherine.
Receptionist II: Thank God, I couldn't stand her. Too full of herself, he deserves a better woman!
Receptionist III: A Greek God like him, single?! Oh, if only I could, and if my money allowed it. Hahaha.
We stayed gossiping at the reception, discreetly, of course.
Nicole: I knock on the HR door and I'm asked to come in.
Good morning, my name is Nicole, and I'm here to pick up my access card. I'm Mr. Brayan's new driver.
Murilo/HR Director: I look Nicole up and down; a beautiful woman. Brayan's hot driver doesn't flinch and stares right back at me!
So, you're "the driver." It's a pleasure; I'm Murilo, the HR Director. Brayan asked me personally to release your access card and password. Have a seat, please.
Nicole: Excuse me.
I sit down and wait. Murilo stares at me, and I hate the way he looks at me, it's disgusting. He registers my fingerprint, releases my access card, and gives me the passwords. I'm anxious to get out of his office. I've never liked being looked at like a piece of meat!
Can I go now?
Murilo: Of course, come back anytime!
Nicole: If necessary, just ask for me.
I'm direct and don't give Murilo an opening.
Murilo: Well then, have a good day!
Nicole leaves with the same swagger she walked in with. She got my attention. I like these little games. Why go for the easy women when the difficult ones are much more interesting?!
