16 First Day of Work 5

For free? But…how?

As if to say 'Wait and see,' the CEO pushed another button on his handrest which made both chairs fall back into recliner mode.

Initially startled by the sudden movement, Liz looked around and wondered as to what the purpose behind this was.

As something seemed to switch on above her, she finally understood what plane she was flying in.

It seemed as if the plane had got transparent, as she could clearly see the blue sky outside with even a few birds startled by the plane's ascent.

This unique feature was present only in a single airplane: Airbus ACJ319neo Infinito jet.

And its price: a whopping 130 million dollars.

Finally able to attach a number to this luxury, Liz simply became tongue-tied.

As her thoughts swirled around randomly, she continued admiring the clear view of the sky outside which captivated her while the plane flew towards their destination.

...

2 hours later.

"Sir, we are prepared for touchdown."

"Continue."

These words roused Liz from the comfortable sleep she had fallen into unwittingly after being lulled by the floating clouds outside.

She had actually….taken a nap on her first day of work?!

Blinking rapidly, Liz completely jerked awake as the seats came back into their normal position.

Opposite her, it seemed that the CEO had also done the same due to his hair that had gotten a little out of place.

Noticing this small imperfection actually helped a lot, as it helped her to humanize this otherwise superhuman man.

"Your job is to assist me in all the things in which I need assistance. You have a learning period where you are expected to quickly pick up all the things you need to do. For now, in this meeting, just watch."

Nodding, Liz thought again that this was truly an unorthodox job. Usually, personal assistants did stuff such as setting up meetings or taking calls, but it seemed like there were other people to do those things.

Looking forward to how the CEO would make his proclamation come true, she braced for the impact which didn't come when the plane landed on the ground.

Ah, how could she have forgotten? This wasn't a normal plane which would bump around when being set down.

After it taxied to a stop, she unbuckled her seatbelt and got up, holding the tablet in the crook of her hand before adjusting her dress and hair in the reflection on the table in front of her.

As for Mr. Will, he got up and took a glance at her before entering into one of the rooms behind him. Indeed, there was a door behind them, but she had thought that it only led to the storage area,

5 minutes later, he came out with his hair looking perfect and wearing a different suit that had none of the creases that had come on the previous one due to the journey.

Because he left the door open, she caught a glimpse of two women inside the room, one holding a blowdryer and the other folding the suit he had worn before.

This man actually traveled with a hairdresser and wardrobe assistant in his plane?!

By now, Liz had become numb to the shocks that came from seeing the displays of ultimate wealth.

This was a world she had never thought she would witness, and at this moment, she even had no idea what to think of it.

Following the CEO as he headed to the door and exited, she paused on the steps as she looked around to see that they were in a different private airstrip.

Yet, unlike the other which had been flush with greenery, this one was barren, and she could see multiple small mountains in the distance.

Meanwhile, the CEO had already reached the limousine waiting for them, making Liz hurry up as she walked quickly on the cement ground and got on.

The vehicle immediately took off, and the 20 minutes drive was spent in silence as Liz looked out at the barren surroundings, wondering exactly where in California they were.

At the end of the drive, although Liz had seen that they entered some kind of processing plant, she hadn't understood exactly what it was.

Now, as she got off and smelled the nauseating smell of blood that permeated the air, she wondered just what the hell they were doing here.

It was a meat processing plant.
