Masquerade

(7) New Rules

A week and half later 

Bucky gave her what she wanted he didn't try to contact her. When she returned from her trip back home. Bucky was already there in his office on the phone but she had a note that said to come in his office. She sat her stuff down and went into his office she shut the door behind her. 

Bucky finished his phone call when he seen her. 

"Welcome back Ms Thomas." He said 

"Thank you Mr Barnes." She said 

"So I'm just gonna rip off the band aid. It has come to my attention that I don't set boundaries with you. That I let you get away with more than I should." He said as he sat against his desk. 

"Is this the part where I'm fired." She said 

"No. You are a damn good assistant Ms Thomas. But I'm implementing new rules. This between me and you is strictly professional from now on. We will pretend like that night never happened. From now on you are no longer allowed in the Monday morning meetings. I will start writing my points." He said 

She swallowed hard as she looked down. 

"This way there is no more problems." He said 

"Yeah". She said in a whisper and went back to her desk. 

For the rest of the day Bucky never saw her unless he came out of his office. She stayed at her desk as she sat there. She decided she had enough of his antics she knew the ABC executives were due to come back to NY soon. She texted her room mates/friends in a group text. 

She had a plan but they had to be the ones to get it in motion. About forty five minutes later Wanda came through the door. 

"Hey Ms Thomas. Is he in?" Wanda said 

"Yes he is." She said as she stood up and went to open the door. 

"Mr Barnes Ms Maximoff is here." She said as Wanda let her in. 

"Hey so I just got a weird random text. From one of my dancers..they over heard me say the executives were coming apparently." Wanda said 

"Okay. And they seem to have changed their tune. They do know who Allie Jo is and they want to put on a showcase." Wanda said 

Bucky looked up from his desk. "A showcase? Like they are going to be dancing.." he said 

"Yes. If it's okay with you?" Wanda said 

"I'd sell my right arm for this deal to go through. Tell them she better be there and they better now screw this up." Bucky said 

Allianna heard the whole conversation and smiled. "Bye NY.." she thought to herself. 

That night they rented out for three hours a dance studio. All the dancers met there and they all began to put together routines. Wanda let Frankie know they were going to be using the Julliard stage B for the showcase. Allianna ordered costumes for the girls and figured out what the boys would wear. Theo agreed to be her partner during the showcase.
