Lost in Assistance (Elizabeth Olsen x FemReader)

Ch. 6

You are forced to wake up in a sudden by your alarm blaring. You squint your eyes, try to find your glasses or your phone to turn off that annoyance of the sounds of your alarm. You finally turned it off and put on your glasses then checked out the time. You forgot that you have to wake up earlier than you planned before Lizzie's text yesterday. Once you see the time is 5 AM, you regretted that you stayed up late last night.

You groaned as you got out of the bed. Last night you decided to wake up at 5 AM just so you can give yourself enough time to get ready, let alone you have to try to beat the traffic to go to the office even though it's Friday you just don't want to take that risk, not today. Last but not least, you have to get the coffee that Lizzie specifically requested.

You try to get ready faster than usual. You picked semi casual attire for today with a low ponytail and flat shoes. You grabbed your purse, your laptop and every other thing you need for work today. You walk out then go to your mom's room to check if your mom is awake.

"Ma, are you awake yet? I'm gonna go to work okay? I'll see you when I get home. Love you." You half whispered hoping your mom can hear you but not loud enough to wake her up just in case she is still sleeping.

"Okay, good luck on your first day my dear." Your mom replies in a sleepy tone.

You left for work but had to drop by at Starbucks near the office to get Lizzie's large black coffee with half and half and two pumps of hazelnut syrup so it will still be hot when she gets it. That's how she likes it and it's one of a few list of coffee beverages she likes besides her precious seasonal pumpkin spice latte.

You finally arrived at the office at 6 AM sharp. The main building is already open due to some offices having early operation hours. You confidently go up to the office thinking it is already open as well or at least opened for Lizzie who is meeting you there but to your surprise the door is still locked and all the lights are still off. Puzzled with what's going on, you pull out your phone and try to contact Lizzie to figure out where she is.

You try to call her but no answer. You wait for a few minutes in front of the office, then you try to call her again, which leads to the same result, no answer. Hoping that you will get an answer if you try to reach her in a different way, you decided to text her.

"Good morning Ms. Olsen, I'm here at the office. Are you on your way here by any chance? Thanks." You texted anxiously yet irritated. Fifteen minutes went by and still no words whatsoever from her. You decided to go back to your car and wait there.

You hate waiting yet that's the only thing you can do now. Luckily, you parked at one of the Vernon's office reserved spots so it will be easy for you to spot Lizzie when she comes. You sighed with annoyance every time you checked your phone and found nothing from Lizzie. You watch the parking spots around you like a hawk to spot Lizzie but shortly you are betrayed by your body, your eyes slowly close and you fall asleep. All of a sudden you hear your phone ring, it's Lizzie. You jolted to check the time to find it's 8:05. "Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!' You cursed in your mind and answered the call.

"Hello. Ms. Olsen. I'm coming right up." You explain right away while you gather your stuff to get going. "Where are you?! You are late. I have been waiting here for 5 minutes." Lizzie asked, pretending she was upset about waiting. Making you come two hours early and letting you wait was her plan. Little did you know, Lizzie actually saw you sleeping in the car when she parked. Of course she won't let this situation go to waste so she decided to just go up to the office to make it look like you are late.

You finally showed up with one hand holding your purse and your laptop, the other handing Lizzie her coffee. "Good morning. I'm so sorry. Here's your coffee. I got here at-.." before you could finish your explanation she cuts you off. "Um, my coffee is not hot, Y/n. Why is it cold? I like hot coffee in the morning. You need to get me a new one on the way there. We gotta go now or we are gonna be late. Thanks to you." She gave the coffee back to you and walked away.
