Thread: The Secretary (Devilla-Roche x DangerousDanielle2)

When Isabelle was summoned to the Personnel office, many of the girls in the secretarial pool knew why before she did....in the corporate world, the company grapevine often beat out the internet. Rumors were that Ms. Vevrier upstairs dumped yet another secretary and the CEO was hunting for another. In another company, knowing that an opening upstairs would be an ideal rung to grasp in the effort to climb higher up the food chain, but this woman was different. Since the truth never seemed to travel as fast as fiction, stories varied. It was rumored that the CEO was a woman hater despite the fact that the boss was a female, that she berated secretaries and got them to leave crying and humiliated and even that she pushed at least one to suicide. Good luck Isabelle, one of her co workers said, rising and shaking her hand. It's been nice working with you.... Shit Brenda, she replied. It's not like I'm being canned......is it? around here, her co worker said, a trip to Personnel is a one way trip.... Mrs. Bowers got up from her desk and greeted the 22 year old brunette as she came through the door. Good day Miss Huppert, she said with a smile. come on in...sit down... Isabelle, not fully believing the grapevine gossip factory was nevertheless nervous. I'm......I'm sorry if I came in 10 minutes late, Isabelle stammered....but..... You weren't asked to come here for your tardiness, the woman replied. for you, it's a rare occurrence. Actually, I went through your work history and I'm quite impressed.....22....that means you graduated High School only 4 years ago. Went through college already? frankly, your'e a little young to be a corporate secretary. Isabelle sat up in her chair, as if she felt the need to explain herself. I graduated a year early and went straight into college from High School, she replied, and got an MA in Business Administration... Mrs Bowers nodded her head. Yes, she said...so I've read...your'e not one of those bubbleheads in the pool. You've got a head on your shoulders, and a good work ethic. Your'e just what our CEO upstairs is looking for in an executive secretary. Isabelle just stared at her. Upstairs?....you mean, being Ms Vevrier's private secretary???? Mrs Bowers nodded her head. as a matter of fact, they've asked to see you as soon as I'm done with you here. Isabelle left the office trembling. So, the rumors were true....'old Ironpanties', as the CEO was nicknamed, was indeed looking for fresh secretarial meat and Isabelle was the newest sacrifice on the altar. She went to the ladie's room and looked herself over. Isabelle dressed conservative with a tan skirt just short of her knees, black heels, semi loose pink blouse. Her brunette hair was up in a bun and glasses. Some managers liked to dictate the old fasioned way, so in addition to a tablet, she had a small notepad. Isabelle gulped as she emerged from the elevator and Jenny, the CEO's personal assistant was already waiting for her. I assume your'e Miss Huppert? y-yes Ma'am, Isabelle stammered.....The woman walked a few paces ahead, opened the door and waved the girl in.... Miss Isabelle Huppert, Ma'am, she said, bowing to Ms. Vevrier as she left.....
