You woke up nice and early, leaving before even the halls of the schools had been lit...so about, 4am. The reason for being so early is because it gave credence to the excuse you left for the school, being that you had a friend who had fallen ill, and needed the day off.
The other reason is that the address is seriously far by foot and subway, about 2 hours. So you figured heading out early was a good way to beat the early work crowd.
Soon enough you get off of the subway and head up. Your head had been sort of in the clouds since you headed out...something about this felt wrong.
You were going against Cynthia's back. While you didn't know her personally, she had been kind enough to enroll you in her school...and as a result of this, you could be booted out.
You bit your lip. Plus, if you get expelled, your dad's gonna be piiiiiissssed...but he might be more forgiving if you can get a good career...20 an hour was 10 less than what he made an hour...
You sighed. You tried pushing those concerns to the wayside...especially since you had arrived to your location!
You gawker in surprise. This building was massive!!! Seemingly several dozen stories tall with a sprawling campus, its the real damn deal!!
You quickly checked in with security. Thankfully they were told of your arrival and gave you a VIP access badge. One guard led you through the area, giving a brief tour. Turns out this company dealt in many fields science and bio chemistry, right up your area!
Soon you were sent up in the elevator, the guard having pressed the button for the 50th floor.
You gulped again as the elevator rose. That feeling was back...but you had come too far to back out now.
The elevator doors opened up and revealed an orderly office, with an older woman sitting at a desk, an oak door by her. 'Geeta, head of office' was emblazoned on a plaque on the door.
You checked in with the secretary who waved you in. You opened the final door and were met with...a rather unexpected sight.
The office was rather casual, with some pokemon posters here and there, some posters for some local bands...and Geeta watching television on a 60 inches.
'Huh...expected something more corporate...' you thought.
Geeta looked your way and smiled that beautiful smile. "Ah, Y/N. Please, come in." She said as she got up, turning the TV off.
"Hello Miss Geeta. Sorry for being a little late." You said, glancing up at the clock. It read 8:13.
"No doubt the guards took their time with the tour." Geeta said as she walked to you, shaking your hand. "I am very happy to see you."
You smiled, feeling more at ease. "I feel the same Miss...I'd like to take the job."
Geeta gave a giggle. "A true go getter. And you don't even know what the job is, do you?" She asked, amused.
You blushed a bit. That was a good point...for all you know, this job could be test subject...ew... "yeah that's um...a good point...what is it?"
Geeta motioned you toward the chair in front of her desk. "No need to be nervous. Please, sit, and I'll explain it."
You both took your seats. You blushed a bit as your eyes met hers. She really was beautiful...
Geeta placed her hands on her desk. "Now, this Job is...sort of an internship. But only as a start." She explained. "I understand if that is a bit underwhelming, but exceed in this role, and not only will you be offered a full time job at 25 an hour, I will personally pay your scholarship for a college of your choice."
Now THAT got your attention!
"I...wow Miss Geeta! Thats...I can't even..." you said, heart thundering in shock.
Geeta giggled again. "My my, you are your fathers child...just as cute when flustered." She teased, drawing your blush further.
You coughed. "U-um...while I'm certainly interested, I still need to know what this position is. Is it anything dangerous?"
She nodded. "It does merit a little danger..."
You gulped.
"I will not fault you if you back out...but once more, I believe the benefits outweigh the cons."
You hesitated. "Alright...what is it?"
Geeta opened a drawer in her desk, pulling out...a toy ray gun? She set it down on the desk. "This is one of our newest inventions. Fully tested, kinks worked out, and most of all safe...a shrink ray."
You blinked. A...shrink Ray?
Geeta continued. "Your job would be as such...I want you to spy on your principal, Kiss Cynthia."
"...Spy on her? But why?" You asked, raising an eyebrow. That was a little odd...morally ambiguous too
Geeta nods. "As you could tell, your principal and I have been at odds for most of our life."
"I could tell...I figured you two might start throwing punches at one another yesterday." You said, thinking back to the meeting.
Geeta snickered. "We have come close to that...actually no, we did come to that in sixth grade..." she said with a wistful smile. "But the fact is...we are rivals. But the issue is...neither of us have been able to get a leg up for years."
You raised an eyebrow. "Miss Geeta, with all due respect, you're the ceo of this company. Cynthia is a family friend, but I feel like this is better than a school...um...please don't tell her I said that..." you said nervously.
Geeta gave an angelic laugh at that. "Oh my! You really are too kind!" She said as she looked back at you. "A charmer too...I'm going to enjoy having you under my wing." She said, gaze...interested? You couldn't tell. You were blushing too much.
Geeta straightened herself up and continued. "While I appreciate your kind words, both are respectable. I head technology that changed the world, she produces the minds that produce that technology. It's a stale mate...which is why I want some good old fashioned dirt on her." Geeta said, her eyes taking on a cunning edge, her smirk identical.
You got where this was going...and this didn't enthuse you...
"What sort of dirt are you talking about?" You asked, trying to tread carefully.
"Any dirt really. Weird hobbies, business deals, non public issues with the school...really anything." Geeta said with enthusiasm.
"So you want ne to shrink...and then spy on her...like even at home?" You asked carefully.
Geeta nodded. "Indeed. ESPECIALLY at home!"
You hesitated. "Miss Geeta...I have some concerns on this. Like I said, I have a lot to thank Cynthia for but...what your asking me to do borders on legal issues..." you said, shuddering at the idea of Cynthia catching you in her house...
Geeta shot you a sympathetic look. "I understand your concerns. But you will be fine, please trust me!" She said as she took your hand in hers. "You will be too small to see, you simply must observe and take pictures...and I will take care of you..."
You were at a cross roads. But...it was a good oppurtunity...opportunity....
Ultimately you...
