Arianna stood in front of the tallest building she had ever seen. It was boldly inscribed on the roof “Stark Enterprises and Technologies”. She could see the large portrait of her baby`s father hung beside the company name, he was wearing a broad smile on his face.
“Hmm… He is quite cute,” Arianna muttered to herself subconsciously.
After standing out there for a little while, she shook her head and took a step forward; she walked in through the glass door that opened before she could get there and went further to the receptionist desk.
The young lady she met at the desk was a foreigner, she could not guess the country but she was certain that the receptionist was not a citizen. The woman looked up at her with a face devoid of emotions.
Arianna smiled at her. “Good day,” she greeted without being cautious. She had left home around thirty minutes past eleven A.M so she had no idea if it was still morning or if they had moved on to afternoon.
“Welcome to Stark Enterprises ma`am, how can I help you?” the pale looking lady asked bluntly.
Arianna wondered if she did not know how to smile, a receptionist is supposed to welcome guests with a smiling face, rather than a grumpy one. If the receptionist is like this, then how more about the boss?
“Um… I would like to see Mr. Stark Oliver Gomez,” she requested politely.
The receptionist looked her from head downwards, her eyes stopped at Arianna`s belly bump and then she looked up again.
“Ma`am, do you have an appointment with the CEO?” the receptionist queried, with her eyes fixed on Arianna.
“No… but it’s important that I see him,” Arianna replied. She had worried earlier that this situation would come up, no one walks into a big company and requests to see the CEO but she was not going to give up so easily.
“In that case, I am sorry ma`am but you can’t see the CEO. You need to get an appointment first, please forgive me.” The pale looking woman replied.
“Please try to understand, this is really important. I have to see him immediately,” Arianna insisted.
“Madam, we have rules and regulations to follow here and I can’t break it or I would risk losing my job, please try to understand madam, only clients who have an appointment or invitation from the boss can see him.”
