Self Diary page 21.

Cassandra looks everywhere and she sees busy staffs. Someone is busy fixing the clothing line. Someone is assisting a customer, someone is writing something on register. She finds herself looking at everyone, then she starts thinking where should she report her arrival.

Cassandra couldn't believe that she had landed a job at one of the most prestigious fashion magazines in the city.

As she walked down the hall, she couldn't help but notice the stylish decor of the office. The walls were lined with colorful prints, and there were sleek white desks scattered throughout the room. Cassandra took a deep breath and approached the receptionist's desk.

"Hi, I'm Cassandra. I'm here for my first day," she said nervously.

The receptionist smiled warmly at her. "Welcome to Harper Styles. I'm Rachel. Let me show you to your desk."

Cassandra followed Rachel down the hall, taking in the sight of the bustling office around her. As she passed by some of the cubicles, she saw several people glance up at her curiously. She wondered who her coworkers would be and whether they would be friendly.

Rachel stopped at a desk near the back of the room. "This is your desk. Your computer is already set up, and your login information is in your email. Let me know if you need anything else."

"Thanks so much, Rachel," Cassandra said gratefully. She sat down at her desk and logged into her computer, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Suddenly, she heard a voice from behind her. "Hey, newbie. Welcome to the team."

Cassandra turned around to see a tall, thin woman with jet-black hair and bright green eyes. "I'm Sophia," the woman said, extending her hand.

"Cassandra," she replied, shaking Sophia's hand. "Nice to meet you."

Sophia smiled. "Likewise. Let me introduce you to a few more people."

Over the next few minutes, Cassandra was introduced to several of her coworkers. There was a bubbly blonde named Hannah,

She said "I bet the interview was tough Mrs. Lyla is a strict interviewer."

Cassandra nodded and said "yes it was, but I think it was more tough for me because I was really nervous."

"everyone gets nervous." said a woman named Laura, who Cassandra later knew works in the editorial.

"Yeah Daniel started crying at his interview." Rachel said with a little smirk

"Shut up Rach." said a lean guy from the next cube who's hand was running on the keyboard so fast that they were invisible to Cassandra.

"Im Daniel by the way, Im on the finance team." Said Daniel without looking away from his computer.

"Im Cassandra, nice to meet you."

As she chatted with her new coworkers, Cassandra couldn't help but feel a sense of camaraderie. These were people who shared her passion for fashion and were just as excited as she was to be working at Harper Styles.

Just then, Lyla, the woman who had interviewed her, appeared at her desk. "Cassandra! I'm so glad to see you here. How was your first morning?"

Cassandra smiled. "It's been great so far. Everyone's been really welcoming."

Lyla beamed. "I'm not surprised. You did a fantastic job in your interview, and I knew you'd be a perfect fit for our team. Congratulations on getting the job."

Cassandra felt a surge of happiness as Lyla spoke. This was exactly where she wanted to be.

As Lyla left, Rachel whispered in Cassandra's ears "She's intimidating right?"

"Yes kind of." Cassandra felt the same but couldn't shake the feeling that whatever Lyla Harper was, she was something Cassandra wished to be. The power must feel nice and power was something that Cassandra was missing for so many years.

When she left home for that day, she pulled out the phone and texted Louise.

Cassandra : I guess you were right, it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. First day went nice.                         5:15pm

Louis:  Im happy Cassandra. Take care!
                                                              5:17pm

Cassandra smiled and headed towards the nearest subway and even though she was mad at Mal, she thought she will give her a treat today.
