"What is she doing here?" The coffee spiller demanded.

"She's our new employee." Sin smiled.

"Absolutely not! She's evil!"

"Evil?" I scoffed. Then I thought about it. "Okay, he's not exactly wrong, but he has no right to call me that!"

"I have every right!"

"Wait, how do you two even know each other?" The coffee spiller's twin asked.

"We met this morning. She called me a prick!"

"Actually I called you a git. And that's because you spilled coffee on my shoes!"

"Why would you do that George?" Sin asked. "That's so rude!"

"That's what I said!" I exclaimed.

"I apologized." George insisted. "And then she said my sorry plus a Knut would get her a piece of candy."

"Do you listen at all? I said your sorry plus a Sickle would get me a piece of candy."

"You see what I dealt with this morning?"

"Well, she's not wrong." Sin crossed her arms. "I mean your sorry is financially useless. I hope you bought her another coffee."

"I asked him to and he refused to." I informed her. "According to him I still had enough coffee and he was in a hurry."

"Wow, that's disappointing to hear George." His brother shook his head. "I promise you, just because I have his face doesn't mean that I'm as rude as he is."

"That's a relief." I laughed.

"George I think you owe Vice an apology." Sin said. "I don't want her first day to be awkward just because you have bad manners."

"She's not working here!" George shook his head. "No way."

"I already hired her. She's staying."

"Sin, we all have to agree on things like this. We're all the owners. So just like everything we have to vote on it and majority rules."

Oh shit. Just as easily as I got this job I could lose it. All because of this coffee spilling git.

Sin sighed. "Fine, all in favor of hiring Vice, raise your hand." She raised her hand.

I knew George wouldn't raise his but the other one seemed to be thinking it over.

"And all in favor of not hiring this Vice person?" George said before raising his hand. Still the other one didn't raise his hand.

"Freddie, why didn't you vote?" Sin asked.

"I don't know. It's hard being caught between my fiancee and my brother."

"Well, remember which one of us has sex with you."

"I think we should hire Vice." He said simply. "I'm Fred. Vice, welcome to the team." He shook my hand.

"Oh thank you so much. I promise you won't regret this at all." I smiled. "Really, I'll be the best employee ever."

"I highly doubt that." George muttered.

"You know, Vice is right. You are being a git." Sin laughed. "Anyways, welcome aboard officially Vice. You're gonna fit right in, I promise. Now let's do the tour."

Sin linked her arm in mine and showed me around. I was all too aware that George was glaring at us. I was glad I had Sin on my side because George was making it more than obvious that he didn't want me here. I didn't really want him there either, but he owns the place so I guess he may stay.
