releases, handling the press on high profile cases and stuff that I don’t really understand, but she loves it. I have a Master’s in business and will be reshaping and restructuring the junior teams and the office staff, although it is going to be challenging, I am excited to start.
We have a year’s contract, but an option to extend if we are successful in our positions.
Four months ago when we first started to plan this move, we only wanted to stay the year, and then move on to something new again. I never expected us to get such good positions.
I can't stop looking around our new apartment. It's owned by the company we will be working for, the kitchen is to die for with granite worktops, and every stainless steel appliance you could wish for, the coffee machine looks like you need a degree in applied science to work it. Opening the huge fridge door I can see it's been stocked with all the essentials, even beer and wine, which is a really nice gesture.
The main room has a rich warm cream paint throughout, and has a gorgeous tan colored leather sectional corner sofa, that's big enough for both of us to stretch out on, a large soft rug covers part of the hardwood floor, and the floor to ceiling windows look out onto the private parking area, beyond that is a municipal park with large trees shading seating and picnic tables, past that is the downtown area where we will be working.
We both just stand there watching young families walking lazily as their kids ride their bicycles, and there's a group of young guys throwing a ball about, while a few girls sit on blankets watching them, and enjoying the sunshine.
But it's my bedroom that does it for me, I've got a large king sized bed in the middle of the room and it is facing another full length window, looking through the other doors I see a walk-in closet, and to the left, a bathroom with a huge shower plus a bath and a two sink vanity unit.
I just can't believe my luck. I am still reeling from the sneaky planning and escape, my parents are going to go ape-shit crazy when they realize just what I've done, and as for Jake, well he can go and rot in hell.
I hope I never have to set eyes on him again. I owe Vanessa and Maddie my eternal gratitude for the help and support as we secretly planned my new life. Now I just have to prove it to them that I am worth the effort. It may take me a hell of a lot longer to believe that in myself, but I am just taking baby steps in to a brand new me, and I can get excited to find out who I really am.
We'd spent all afternoon unpacking our bags, Maddie keeps squealing as she finds some other new thing or gadget. The flat screen TV is enormous, and has about a million channels to surf. But for now we've got my iPod in the top of the range Bose music system, and Tinie Tempah is rapping away loudly.
By seven o'clock we have finished unpacking, and ready to do something before jetlag creeps up on us. “Shall we go out and get a drink? There's a bar just down the street.” Maddie is jumping up and down.
“Yep, let's go.” We grab our bags and phones and exit the apartment, and head for the elevator, giggling all the way.
The bar is exactly what we hoped for, it's a sports bar, and the waitresses are dressed in hot pants and tight sports shirts, and they all look like supermodels.
There are tables scattered around the large wall- mounted flat screen TV’s showing a baseball game on one screen, and a football match on a couple of others.
It’s still early but there’s a lot of people talking and laughing over a beer after work.
As we stand and look around taking in our new surroundings Maddie points to an empty low table with four leather chairs around it, nodding back at her we make our way to sit down.
“Shit Ginny, these girls are gorgeous I'm feeling very lacking here!” Maddie laughs because even though she is only 5' 2' she is beautiful, with long blonde hair and flawless skin
