She Worked In A Skyscraper (Part 1)

NICKI P. O. V.

My alarm went ringing in my ear. I rolled over and turned it off. "Ugh! It's Monday." I peeled out of my sheets and walked sluggishly to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and walked to my closet. "What am I gonna wear?" I scanned my closet. " I have to go shopping." I rolled my eyes passing the sticky note wall saying, "Must go shopping!" I looked at my clock. "Gosh, I'm gonna be late." I rushed and put my clothes on. I usually wake up earlier to catch a cab. I sprinted downstairs to catch the cab. It was gone. I had to walk 7 blocks in 6 inch heels. I walked passed Times Square and into Southern Manhattan. I worked at Vogue Fashion. I was a designer's assistant. I walked in greeted everyone and proceeded to my small apartment size office. I sat down and tried to pull up all my emails. The phone rang.

"Hello, Vogue Fashion. This is Onika."

"Hello I need to make an appointment."

"Okay, I can get you right now."

"Um okay that will work."

"Alright see you then." I said smiling and hanging up the phone.

"Onika!!!" The phone intercom blasted.

"Yes, Mr. Samuels?"

"Latte please?"

"Why did you call me?"

"Because you make them the best."

"Okay right away sir."

I walked to the break room and grabbed latte. I thought about spitting in it, but that hoodrat Kim was in the room.

"Who's that for?" Kim said stirring her coffee.

"Mr. Samuels."

"Why did he ask you?" She said scrunching up her face.

I was about to be a bitch but decided to reply nicely.

"Apparently I make the best." I said Kanye shrugging.

I walked away and knocked on his door.

"Come In."

"Here." I sat down his coffee and started walking to the door.

"Wait." He said getting up out his chair. He walked behind me and closed the door.

"How would you like to be promoted?"

I sat their in shock.

"I'd love to. But promoted to what?"

"To my secretary."

"Oh my goodness thank you!" I said hugging him.

"You're welcome. But under one condition, you must go on a date with me."

I turned looked at him.

"Seriously?"

"Yep. Tonight at 8:00."

"Okay."

I strutted out of the office and went back to my desk. My friend Candice stopped by my office.

"What you grinin' and skinin' about?"

"I got promoted and Mr. Samuels wants to go on a date with me."

"Oooh gurrrrl!"

"Candi stop." I said laughing.

"Have fun."

"I will."
