The tall, slender Opifex male walked down the brightly lit corridor witch lead to hes newly appointed office. The bag he had been given from the corporation were stuffed with all of hes personal items and it rested lightly on hes back. He felt proud at having received an office. It would certainly be a huge step up after having slept in hes Yalm for two years.
Naefen had almost forgot about hes sister and the past weeks events regarding hes meaning to find her. The promotion he had received from hes President, Banishedsoul, were perhaps the first joyful event for him in the past year. Naefen almost smiled thinking about how far he would have been from getting that promotion had all hes "extra assignments" been known. He shook hes head slightly and almost smiled thinking about it. It was over now and he would act according to hes position.... as far as he could.
As he reached the door leading into hes new office he stopped briefly. He hadnt been wearing anything but armor the past two years and now that he finally wore something else he felt he had to look hes best. Straightening out hes outfit he opened the door and went inside.
The young Solitus woman inside greeted him.
"Good morning General Naefen!" She was all smiles.
"I am your secretary, Ms Clark." She continued smiling.
She was a young blond. The kind who could twist a mans mind just by throwing her hair the right way. Naefen looked at her and pressed out something resembling a smile. No one had told him anything about a secretary.
She opened the door into Naefen`s office and he went in. As she followed he told her he wanted some time alone there and that he would call for her when needed.
The office suddenly felt very familiar and he remembered he had been there several times before. This was the former office of Xhairs." What a strike of irony". Naefen thought.
The man he had looked up to, still did, had left this office and now he was about to take hes chair. The weight of responsibility crept under Naefens skin. That was one tough nail to follow.
Packing out hes stuff didnt take long and soon thereafter Naefen were seated in hes new chair behind hes new desk. A huge empty desk with nothing on it. Hes mind started drifting towards hes secretary. He wasnt even sure what a secretary did. She seemed very nice though, very pretty. He decided to call her in.
She entered the office in her short skirt and blouse. As she closed the door she flung her hair back and aproached him smilingly. " What can I do for you Sir?"
Naefen looked at her for a few seconds and it made her seem worried. She folded her hands infront of herself and he knew she was getting nervous at that.
"Ms.Clark..... may I see your assignment orders please?" Naefen spoke as calmly as he could so she wouldnt know how eager he was to get this done.
She twisted and made a sorrowful expression flinging her hair slightly again. She was a very pretty girl indeed. "Im so sorry General... I didnt think it was necessary for me to bring them along. The recruitment officer said it was sufficient to wear this badge." She excused herself.
Naefen almost felt sorry for what he was about to do. Almost.....
"What!!?? You show up here your first day without assignment papers!?" Hes voice were firm and high and it made her almost cry.
"Im sorry Ms.Clark but such carelessness just wont do working for me... Your fired! Pack your stuff. Goodbye."
Tears fell down here cheeks and sobbing she went out. He could hear her grabbing her stuff and exit shortly after.... still crying.
Naefen closed hes eyes and leaned back.
"I have no time for distractions Ms.Clark." He thought to himself.
"No time for you and not in the business of hiding my business from nosy young girls."
A few minutes went by and she was forgotten.
