Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

April spent a leisurely Sunday pampering herself. She got a chance to set up her laptop and the first thing she did was to go through Walker Interiors website. She concentrated on her department of interior design, it showed many past designs and projects. She was excited to get started on her own project and work closely with the team. She was nervous but also excited about the day ahead.

She painted for a while and ate snacks and a healthy dinner. Today she relaxed and did as she pleased as she was used to only working for others, it was a strange but relaxing feeling. Later in the evening she did a face mask and hair mask and enjoyed a long bath. She went to bed feeling refreshed for her first day's work ahead.

In the morning her alarm beeped and she smiled as she stretched, excited she bounced up and out of her comfy bed. She went to her bathroom and washed her face and brushed her teeth, then she went to her vanity table and applied minimal makeup and some eyeliner, she fixed her hair into a wavy high ponytail and then walked to her closet.

She picked out an Alexander McQueen burgundy pencil dress that skimmed over her curves, she then paired it with Louboutin black heels and a classic Chanel black leather bag. April then left her closet and put her phone and keys into her bag before walking to her kitchen. She had made a simple breakfast of oats with yoghurt and berries. She ate it with a cup of herbal tea before brushing her teeth and leaving her condo.

April went down in the lift to her car and got inside it before driving to Walker Interiors, it only took her twenty minutes as she had left her condo early to avoid the rush hour traffic. She parked inside Walker Interiors underground carpark and got out as she walked to reception. She had a spring in her step and a cheerful smile on her face.

April saw a young girl behind the reception desk, she looked like she had just arrived and was turning on her computer. April approached the reception desk with a smile.

"Hi, my name is April Jones and I will be starting today in the interior design department."

The girl looked up from her computer she gave a friendly smile. "Hi I'm Joyce, let me show you up." Joyce got up and April followed her towards the lift. "You will be on the twenty-sixth floor."

They both entered the lift and went up together. Joyce smiled at April and explained, "Your manager is Emily Taylor, and she will show you around. She likes hard workers so just keep your head down and do your work and you will be fine."

April heard her words of advice and nodded, "Thanks for the advice."

Bing

The lift door opened and there was an open plan office, it was large with desks in the middle of the floor, a kitchen area with sofas and floor to ceiling windows that made it bright and allowed natural light to shine through.

A few chairs turned when they heard the lift door open. There were six desks in total, two were empty at the moment. Of the four members of staff, two were male and two were females. April followed Joyce and walked forward.

Joyce introduced April, "Everyone this is April and she is just starting today." After that Joyce smiled at April and she walked towards the lift again.

April smiled at everyone, "Hi, I look forward to working with everyone." She felt a bit nervous, it was like being in school again and you had to introduce yourself and the class would just stare at you. No one likes to be the new kid. She looked around for a friendly face, but luck was on her side a girl around her age with beautiful red hair and a friendly smile approached her.

"Hi, and welcome my name is Sophie. Sophie Patterson and there is a desk right beside mine that is empty. You can use it this way." Sophie pulled April over to her new desk and she saw it was already equipt with a phone and a laptop and some basic stationery.

April cheerfully smiled back at Sophie, "Thanks for showing me to my desk."

Sophie smiled and suddenly hugged April. April who hadn't been hugged since her mother was alive was stunned. Sophie let go and leaned back, she looked a bit awkward.

"So sorry I just thought we could be good friends." Sophie tucked her red locks behind her ear nervously.

"I'd like that a lot." April beamed at Sophie and before she knew it, she was hugged again.

Cough

Hearing a cough both girls let go of one another and turned. The two males and the other female works were standing nearby. The cough was the male that leaned against Sophie's desk.

"Oh look at me hogging all your attention. This is Sean, Paul and Aarna." Sophie introduced the others and they smiled and nodded in response. But before they could continue the lift door opened.

Bing...

Click... Clack... Click... Clack

All four suddenly shuffled to their respective desks and April stood straight and smiled. This must be my boss she thought.

Her heels made a lot of noise as she walked across the marble floor. The woman seemed to be in her late twenties, she was dressed in a white long coat and a white bodycon dress which showed underneath as she swayed towards April.

She stopped just in front of April and she gave her a look up and down before walking over to her desk and sitting down. April was taken aback for a moment and she looked over to the others who had their heads buried at their desk. Taking a deep breath she approached her desk.

"Hi I'm April Jones, Micheal hired me..." The girl gave her a fierce glare.

"Micheal well aren't we friendly with the COO... I am Ms Taylor, sit at your desk I don't have time to show you your duties so learn quickly."
