The Couple

Celia

I think it was a bad idea, going on shopping with Mary and J one day before joining my new job. I was so tired I didn’t want to wake up early in the morning and go to the office to report.

Now, I can understand why mom was always tired after work and never had time to play with me. A part of me always blamed her work and her for not being there for me when other’s moms were there at the events or important days.

She was always busy in winning cases and moving ahead in her career. No doubt she is a high profile lawyer who earns as much as a judge now.

I blamed dad too for not always being busy in his restaurant, not there for me when mom wasn’t. I sometimes wished they weren’t too successful in their life. So, they could be free to be with me.

Mary really had to drag me out of my beloved bed this morning and sent me to bathe. My feet were sore from Sunday’s shopping and going around the town in 4 inches heels, more than usual. Remind me to never wear more than 3 inches. I grunted remembering the pain.

Well, Cooperstown is not as small a town as I thought it was. It might have less population or more friendly people but it isn’t lack of anything. It is just a mini version of NYC but people here are more warm and happily smiling.

I hope soon I will be settled here in no time while I live a less busy life than my parents and happily.

Jeanne was literally towing me everywhere in town to show me places. She was so excited for me to meet her brother Christian but he was off to someplace for urgent work again.

He is becoming a suspense for me now. Now, even I am eager to meet him. :D

I met Harris, my new boss, this afternoon after touring the whole office with Jane. He is sweet and kind. I was afraid how ruthless he would be as I heard that the bosses are not easy and no gentle. Beware some are even not good person.

I am happy, he is a gentle person and knows how to treat other person even if they are your subordinate. But it was weird how I caught him staring at me two times. I can just wish he is not that psycho types who stalks the girl in private and be sweet to her in public.

It was a tiring day, Harris told me that tomorrow we have a meeting with Dante Constructions at breakfast to discuss an important project which I will be a part of. I wonder how much he trusts me to include me in that project.

Even Jeanne said the project is so important to their company as well that their best architects are working on this project and will keep it as their high priority.
