Liam on his way back to his office, he passed the board room. " Um … excuse me Mr. Adler, should we continue with our meeting?" a member asked meekly. Facing the man Liam said " No the meeting is adjourned for today." Making his way towards his office once more, he heard a crunch beneath his feet, looking down he saw glass under his shoe, turning his head to the left he saw the small pool of blood, where Mrs. Talbot was and he sighed. Shaking his shoe he continued walking and called out to no-one in particular " Clean this mess up".
Closing the door with a thud, Liam reached for the remote in his pocket, and pointed it at his window and pressed it , it immediately turned the window and the walls opaque. He then went to his desk and looked at it . Files scattered all over and contracts to be signed. He sighed once more, running his hands through his hair." Natalie , I need these files photocopied now" he said while sitting down at his desk. When she didn't come in he said " Natalie, why...." a knock interpreted him. "Come in". he said. " Natalie" he said as the door closed. " I need these files photocopied ". " Um... sir," a voice said " I am not Natalie". " Well where is she?" " She went to the hospital sir, remember just now ?" " Oh " he said, " then get me her replacement ".
"Well sir, its her" and with that, the person pointed to Amber who was picking her nails nonchalantly. Looking out Liam say the same woman who had stood up to him earlier, breathing heavily through his nose, he said " Send her in".
Entering her bosses office Amber looked around she saw black. Literally, black rugs, black desks, and chairs, black office supplies. She checked he watch for what felt like the millionth time, and then she heard his voice.
"Name" he said . " What ?" she replied confused. " Are you deaf?" he said. " I asked for your name". " So lets try this again ". " Name"
"Ambercrombie Adair"
"Age"
"Twenty- three years old"
"Birthday"
"February 2nd "
"So tell me a little about yourself" he asked.
" I went to school at Brown where i graduated top of my class with a bachelors degree in accounting and business. I previously worked at Stevens Co. for three years and when the company went belly up, I sought work elsewhere"
"What is your biggest weakness?"
"My biggest weakness is that I tend to overwork sometimes, at my former jobs I was the only employee who had put in the most hours of overtime". "I also …."
"Okay, I get it, you are a stellar employee, and you got the job". Putting down her file he said " Ms. Adair do you know what having this job would entail? Not only do you have to photocopy files and get my coffee, you also have to be at my beck and call. You will be required to go on impromptu business trips with me at any given time. You have to schedule meetings with other assistances and often be called out late a night. Your time will no longer be your own. You really didn't think that this was an ordinary assistance job did you. " " No sir," she quickly replied. "Great, then let proceed, I will only tell you these thing one so note them down, I DO NOT like to repeat myself." Taking out a book and pen Amber sat down ready to take down her bosses preferences.
" Are you ready" he said. She nodded. "Great lets begin".
