Road to Joy
The corporate offices of Allan, Lekman & Co. looked exactly like they sounded. Pretentious, old and dull. It was the furthest one could go if they wished to feel anything but stimulated, a sort of ‘shield’ against the creative and new.
It didn’t take Alice long to realise that she didn’t fit in here.
As she walked down the cold, marble corridor that one was greeted with when they passed through the buildings big, automatic glass doors, Alice couldn’t suppress the shiver that had been threatening to run down her spine the moment she had stepped out of the taxi. What had she gotten herself into?
"Miss Pieszeckie I presume?" The old man’s voice caused Alice to stop in her tracks. She took a long breath before turning around, armed with a fake smile, to greet the person who had just identified her. Whoever he was he looked old and important, a man of about sixty or so, whose suit looked like it hadn’t ever experienced a wrinkle in its life and whose shoes were possibly the shiniest Alice had ever seen.
"Hi." Casual approach, probably not the best option for the first day on the job – not that Alice had thought about it until the words were out of her mouth. "I’m sorry. I mean good morning Mr…?"
"Parker. Louis Parker." The man extended one of his perfectly manicured hands, one of his perfectly strong, manicured hands, which Alice accepted, quiet taken aback by the firmness of his grip. "I coordinate all the comings and goings in the media circuit of the business, including ‘The Bulletin.’"
Alice nodded accordingly, inwardly registering that this man, Mr Louis Parker, was her new boss.
"It’s a pleasure to meet you Mr Parker," Alice finally replied, noting that she hadn’t said anything to the old man yet. "I’m very excited about working at ‘The Bulletin.’"
"So you should be," Mr Parker said a noticeable change in his tone as his words took on a slightly… brighter… feeling. Obviously he was somewhat satisfied by Alice’s remark. "We have a wonderful institution here Miss Pieszeckie…"
"Alice," she interrupted, earning a simple nod from Mr Parker before he continued.
"Alice. As I was saying, we pride ourselves on our institution, especially our newspaper, and we must have employees that embody that complete spirit we wish to maintain in our image."

interesting start. Hope to see more of your other stories as well.
Bojangles! your back!..okay first i have to say that you must know that i’m your biggest fan. I absolutely love the way you write, and your unique stories. I miss Soul Singing, but this story is great. I love your portrayel of both Al and Dana. I’m really excited to keep reading this one. I love it, post soon.
I really like it. I love Danish fics where Dana and Alice don’t know each other yet. It makes things more interesting. I can’t wait to see where you’re going with this. Update soon please.
interesting… i like it. can’t wait til they finally meet. :)
Great start. I agree with slayergirl, the fics where Dana and Alice don’t know each other bring an exciting element to the story. Good luck with Soul Singing too. Hopefully the writer’s block won’t last long. I’d like to see the wedding/honeymoon before you end the story :) That’s been one of my favorite fics since you started it. Update soon!!!
Oi, love it. I agree w/jodeye33 love Soul Singing and when you break that block I’ll be right there to read it. Love it when they first meet, there’s something about falling in love w/your soul mate for the first time. I’m surprised that Dana is not an athelete this time…should get interesting. Cheers mate..
Me right now = :oD

I like it. So next chapter they will meet? :) I hope you ever have the inspiration to finish Soul Singing. It’s in the top 3 of my favorite fics!!
