She took a breath and turned towards her savior.
‘Thank you so much.’
‘No problem. I would have stopped them sooner, but they had a gun. I am Adam, by the way.’
‘Jeraldine.’ She shook his hand, and her gaze fell on the watch on his hand.
Crap, she thought. She would be late on her first day.
‘I am sorry but it is my first day, and I cannot be late. Mr. Blackwood is a hard man and I don’t reason for him to fire me on the first day.’
‘Oh, yeah. I have heard the rumors. Come, I too am going there to meet my brother. I could accompany you.’
Now she was hesitant of the man who had saved her. But not wanting to waste any time, she agreed. He stayed with her the entire way. Even when she entered the elevator, and she had a feeling she was enjoying her agitation.
But before she would say anything to him, the elevator came to a halt.
The minute the door slid open, she walked out, her steps were nervous, and if it had a mind of its own, it would have bolted right out of there and leave her legless.
When she stepped foot in the building, She didn’t know where the hell she would go to.

She also couldn’t just barge into Mr. Blackwood’s office and demand to know where her desk was. Besides, she didn’t think he was here yet.
She turned around to ask Adam and was surprised to see him gone.
‘Jeraldine Andrews?’
She turned at the sound of her name and came face to face with a beautiful woman. She was so gorgeous and well-dressed.
‘Yes?’ She answered politely, with a smile on her face. The women returned it.
‘My name is Emma. I’m a little surprised to see you here so early, though it’s a good thing. Mr. Blackwood doesn’t like when his employees come late to work.’
‘Don’t worry. I am a morning person, so I will always be on time.’
‘That is very good to hear. Please follow me, and I will show you to your desk.’
Emma started walking, and Jeraldine couldn’t help but like her. She was nothing like Nathan, but then again, she shouldn’t judge him based on their one interaction. Her father always said this was a bad habit of hers.
‘I want to tell you not to believe all the things you hear about this place. While some are true, the majority aren’t. Mr. Blackwood is an excellent CEO, and not like the monster that the media portrays him as.
