After receiving the message from the Chief, I went outside to meet up with my 'assistant'. Tch. Just hearing the sound of the word from my mind makes me hate it even more..
"But I guess I have no other choice..", I muttered to myself.
To be frank, it's not like I hate having assistants, I've been wanting to have one when I joined here on my first week. But after experiencing the pain of no serious investigations, I've now been wanting to have the attention and award for myself. That's why I hate having an assistant now.
But I guess fate takes it toll first before the karma huh..
After I've gone outside the Department, I searched my surroundings to find my 'assistant'.
"Now that I think about it, the Chief never told me what my 'assistant' looked like.. This is gonna be haslte..", I said to myself but..
"No worries Ms. Watson, I'm in a more haslte situation than you are right now."
It seems like someone else heard my rant.. Am I gonna be in trouble? But wait, maybe it's just a random person who overheard me, but how does she know my last name?? There's only one way to find out the truth..
I turned around and saw... A man.
"Oh? You're not really that ugly.. To be honest, you're kinda cute Ms. Watson.", the man said.
"Excuse me but, do I know you?", I asked.
"You will, soon.", the man said with confidence.
If this is my assistant then I'll grow to hate him even more..
"Oh! You're here Jhon!"
I heard a familiar voice that came from the Department and when I looked I saw the Chief calling the Man's name.. And his name is Jhon huh..
A name I didn't expect to hear at times like this..
"Oh? Chief Joseph, it's a pleasure to meet such a Genius Detective such as yourself.", Jhon said while bowing.
"Ehh you're quite mannered Jhon. Don't tell me it's just for show off?", the Chief said.
"No, you're mistaken. I always show respect and pay manners to those above me.", Jhon said as he raised himself up.
"Heh, then you should respect me too righ—", as I was about to finish my sentence, Jhon cuts it off by saying..
"Except. To those seniors who disrespect me on my first day on the job. I will not respect them until they apologize.", Jhon said as he looked at me with a serious and furious face.
Geh... I might've done something bad..
And did he say it's his 'first day'? Did he just apply here?
"Ms. Watson, don't tell me you disrespected your own assistant on his first day?", the Chief said.
"Eh? What do you... Mean by that.. Chief..?", I asked.
Oh no.. Don't tell me that this guy is....
"Oh yeah! I forgot to send you the picture! But hey, he's already here so I might as well introduce him to you. This is Jhon Benedict, your assistant in the upcoming Reaper Case.", the Chief said.
Oh.. Oh no..
I said something rude to my junior.. Not even, I said something rude to my own assistant.. On his first day.
"Bad Day, Ms. Watson. My name is Jhon Benedict. And starting from now on and until we solve this case, I'll be your assistant. It's a haslte to work with you. Ma'am.", Jhon said in a greeting but.. his face is still... Angry.
Oh no.. I seriously have crossed the line now..
After our little yet 'calming' introductions outside the Department, we were both brought inside to the Chief's office and discussed the followings.
