Chapter 6 - Scoring Points

~ 3rd Person POV ~
"jealous huh?" a voice said making Paul jump as he saw the truck drive away with Ash in it
"no" Paul retorted as he saw it was Reggie
"admit it, i won't tell Ash" Reggie chuckled as Paul walked off into the kitchen of the cafe
"I'm not, I just don't see what he sees in that ignorant jerk" he muttered
"oh I don't know maybe because he's so kind, generous and a gentleman" Reggie said sarcastically to get on Paul's nerves
"don't tell me you're all gay for him too" Paul snorted as Reggie chuckled
"no, I'm just saying the obvious, he seems to be Ash's type" Reggie shrugged following Paul to the kitchen

"whatever" Paul muttered

"so this is your desk, right next to my office" Gary pointed with a grin as he signaled to the ravenette his workplace as he smiled
"it's tiny and cute" Ash giggled seeing the tiny workplace which had a beanbag chair at the corner as the man grinned
"yeah, anyways you can get started, just ask me if any questions" Gary shrugged and grinned with his hands in his pockets
"okay, thank you" Ash smiled as the man smiled once more and went to his office

"hey" a man smiled waving at Ash
"h-hi, uh" Ash thought he only knew him as the guy who gave him the interview
"Ritchie" the man grinned as the boy giggled
"Ritchie" he smiled
"so you like the job?" the man questioned as the boy nodded
"mhm, it's pretty easy" Ash smiled, all he had been doing is transferring calls to Gary and nothing more
"that's good to hear, I'm gonna talk to Gary really quick" Ritchie smiled pointing at the auburn's office as Ash nodded with a smile
"go ahead, can you do me the favor and tell him I'll be going on my lunch?" Ash smiled as he got up picking up his purse
"yeah sure, you got lunch? Or will you be going out to get it?" the man questioned as Ash showed him his lunchbox
"uh no, I brought my own" he smiled as the auburn blonde smiled
"okay, sounds good" he said as Ash gave him one last smile and left to the lunch room

"hey Gary" the man knocked as Gary gave him a signal to give him a minute as he smiled
after hanging up the phone Gary smiled
"hey, what's up" he smiled
"your secretary went to lunch" he said as Gary smiled
"that's okay, he deserves the break" he sighed and smiled looking at ravenette's desk
"so you like him?" the man questioned as Gary smiled
"yeah I do, a lot" he said with a smile
"he a lot different from the other secretary's you've had" Ritchie shrugged
"yeah, but I just needed one, it was a pain having to miss a lot of meetings because of it" Gary sighed as Ritchie nodded
"so, I'm guessing he's" Ritchie made a hand gesture as Gary sighed
"yes he's gay" Gary said
"oh" Ritchie said as he gave off a judgmental look 
"Ritchie please get to know him before judging him by who he is attracted to" the man sighed
"I'm not, I'm just asking, he's just different, I was thinking you should've made Livy your secretary" Ritchie shrugged as Gary laughed
"why do you say that?" Gary chuckled

"she's was Angie's best friend don't see why not" he shrugged
"look, I'm going to say this and it is something I didn't ever tell Angie because she would've been ballistic about it, i never really liked Livy, she's just too over the top she always wanted to be controlling of my marriage of Angie so her being my secretary wouldn't be a good thing" Gary smiled sarcastically
"I'm just saying, she really is a bad place, with money she lost her car because she's lacking money" Ritchie said as Gary snorted
"if you're so worried of her Ritchie then, I don't know adopt her? Help her? Lend her money?? That's what she gets not trying to sound like a jerk but she left Jimmy for some other guy who supposedly had more money than him and then he dumped her and Jimmy won't take her back as he should, because Jimmy adored her and she took it for granted" Gary ranted and then sighed

"this is ridiculous, and not my business, but she's nothing more than a gold digger" Gary whispered
"well I just think Ash is overly qualified" the man shrugged
"why do you say that?" Gary raised an eyebrow
"oh you don't know?" Ritchie questioned as Gary furrowed his eyebrows
"besides being a kindergarten teacher, and can speak English he can speak German, French and Italian" Ritchie commented
"really?" Gary said in an admiring tone
"mhm, overly qualified" Ritchie shrugged
"he's not, he's perfect but whatever" Gary rolled his eyes at the man
