Chapter 2 - Fangirl? Nope.
Just like the old man recommended, I took this opportunity in stride.
I've dealt with more nerve-wracking things before this point. Having a job should be at the bottom of that list.
The moment I walked into the company, I felt a deep and dense atmosphere.
People kept their heads down, unable to look eye to eye with anyone.
Was this a company or a prison?
I walked to the front office, my high heels tapping against the marble floor, making heads turn as I approached the front desk.
Chloe Cage
Hello, my name is Chloe Cage.
Receptionist
All gifts for the president are to be mailed so please don't bring them personally. They will be burnt.
Burnt... hmm, I don't know what that's about but I need to get to the matter at hand.
Chloe Cage
I'm Chloe Cage, the new head of programming?
The receptionist then looked at me, squinting.
Receptionist
Hold on, your name was?
Chloe Cage
Chloe Cage. 18 years old. My birthday was a few weeks ago. My birth year is-
Receptionist
That's okay. But don't you look a little...
Receptionist
I was going to say young.
Chloe Cage
Different word, same meaning.
Receptionist
You're 18? And they're hiring you, a little girl, to be head of programming?
I should take offence in that... but I don't.
Chloe Cage
I graduated University early.
Receptionist
Oh... well, someone from the department should be down shortly.
Maven Jacobs
And here I am. Woah, I read the name but I can't believe it was true.
The man approached me and gave me a kind smile.
Maven Jacobs
Maven Jacobs, at your service. And you must be Miss Chloe.
Chloe Cage
Just call me Chloe. It's weird since you're older than me.
Maven Jacobs
We aren't far off. I'm 20 so there isn't that much of a year gap. Anyway, follow me.
I followed behind him, like a lost puppy. He wasn't like the other people in this floor. He seemed more cheerful than most.
Maven Jacobs
So, you saw the zombies from the first to fifth floors. They all answer directly to the CEO in person, thus the great depression.
Chloe Cage
Is he really that scary?
Maven Jacobs
Are you frightened?
Chloe Cage
He could hold a gun to my head and I wouldn't bat an eyelid. He's successful for a reason, right? That oppression, I admire him for it.
Chloe Cage
It's not easy to control a room, especially of that room thinks you're a kid who's in two sizes too big shoes.
He looked down at my feet.
Chloe Cage
Metaphorically. Not literally.
Maven Jacobs
I like your attitude. You aren't like the other girl's at this company.
Chloe Cage
What are the other girl's like. Give me your best impression.
He stuck a pose and brushed his hand past his hair.
Maven Jacobs
Isn't he, like, so hot?
Chloe Cage
That seems... accurate enough considering the receptionost pegged me as a fan girl dropping off Christmas cookies.
Maven Jacobs
Tough. Well, I'll tell you this, the programming department is the most lively departments of the company. You know why?
Maven Jacobs
Because the CEO only talks to the head of programming... that's it.
