Chapter Eighteen

I was already getting used to walking in these ridiculously high heels, and I had to admit, I liked the way I looked in the dress. In fact, I couldn't help sneaking glances at myself as I made my way to the HR office. The bra Nevia gave me turned out to be more like fancy tape that held my breasts in place without the need for pesky straps and hooks. Definitely not anything I’d ever worn—much less heard of before.

"You must be Angela," said a slightly plump woman with short, strawberry red curls. "I'm Melinda. Come on in!"

Melinda ushered me into her office, which was filled with a forest of leafy plants. I sat down at her desk, noticing a picture of her holding a little girl who was the spitting image of her mother.

"That’s my Fiona," Melinda gushed with obvious pride. "I can’t wait until she’s old enough to work here. I suppose she has a long way to go, though."

I smiled. I wasn’t sure what I had been expecting when I arrived here this morning, and even though I found Priscilla a little scary at first, I was enjoying the experience so far. Everyone else had been friendly and welcoming, and not at all stuck up, as I'd secretly feared. I certainly felt much better about myself and my ability to fit in than I had at last night’s charity event.

"Oh my," Melinda smiled at me. "You must be quite good."

"I’m sorry?" She couldn’t have been looking at my resume. That wasn’t impressive at all.

"Mr. Mancini has indicated that you’ll be a third level associate, which means a paycheck that’s only a little less than the floor manager. That only happens in extraordinary situations."

"Oh, I didn’t—"

"Just don’t mention it to Priscilla," Melinda whispered, giving me a conspiratorial wink.

"Of course not. But I—"

"Oh I’m just joking," Melinda laughed. "I mean, your salary really shouldn’t be water cooler conversation, but I’m just teasing about Priscilla. She can come across as a difficult and disapproving woman, but she’s really a big old softie. She just likes efficiency, you know? Do your job well, and she’ll have no reason to badger you."

"All right," I said slowly. "I definitely don’t want anyone upset with me."

Melinda pulled a document off of the printer beside her and slid it across the table to me, along with a silver pen. "Here’s your contract. Please do read it over and sign at the bottom. I’m going to get myself some tea. Would you like some?"

I picked up the paper, reading through the employment stipulations, my eyes drawn back to the four year requirement. Then I gasped when I reached the salary.

"Are you sure this is correct…" I looked up from the papers. The number on the agreement was almost 50% more than he had originally offered me.

"Mr. Mancini never makes mistakes," Melinda said from the door way. "And, that’s before commissions."
