The New Carington Sibling - Dynasty

Dinner

Veronica's POV.

Ok seriously now do I have to do this ? Talk to Alan to work with me. I really dont want to back off my word but I have to. I have to because I am in desperate need now, I am a legitimate mess. A work mess. I mean I didn't even eat anything but a muffin yesterday. I work and work with no rest , that cant keep going. It is litterarly 12 pm now and I am finished with my stupid work since it is friday. Weekend finally. Maybe I will talk to him tommorow. Right ? It's too late now. Ugh now when I get back home Fallon is going to be very maaaddd. She will keep bugging me. I just have to deal with it I guess. Atleast tommorow is saturday , I can finally sleep deeply with no distractions , with no work to worry about. Just a bit of work that is all , I can finish in an hour or so.

I pick up my keys from my desk and grab some files with me. And by some files , I mean files that almost reach to my head. I needed them. I hate work. Why did I even go with this profession? I should've went with something out of the business woman theme. This gives me memories. When I was little I really wanted to be a singer or actor. Singer mostly , expressing my feeling that I lost and hid over time in them. I used to feel happy whe I sing. That is why my mom put me in sisniging classes and later on an Arts school , she knew me. Dad got me out of the school after her death. She used to defend my decision but after she died I had no one to argue for me and Dad just got me out. He knows that she died 5 years ago. He knows that but he also thought she died in a car accident. She did not. She did not. I saw her dying infront of my eyes. My own two eyes. I couldnt do anything , I swear I couldnt , it was like I was paralyzed. It was like someone cut off all my nerves and left me numb. I couldn't feel anything exept for fear and shock....

I opened my car door , I was home. Finally I can rest. It was 12:20 by now, yes I need 20 minutes to arrive home or go to work. I went inside of the mansion almost losing my balance because of the files that are blocking my eyesight until someone bumped into me and knocked me down with all my papers scattering around the floor . All I knew is that is was a man. The only men in the house that are stupid enough to bump into me could be sam or steven. "Whatch were you are going you idiot ! Can you not see what I am holding , now my paper work is all over the floor , steven or Sam whoever you are , you better run away right now before I do a crime with you" I yell out in frustration and anger. "And what if it is not Steven or Sam ?" The man asks. It was definitely not Steven or Sam , but it was an annoying familiar voice that spoke. I look at at the man who is now helping me with picking up my papers. The person who always annoys me , the person I have been worried about talking to all day. Green eyes - Alan. "What the fuck are you doing here" I ask him while swe pick up the scattered papers. "Fallon invited me over for dinner, she said you had something to talk about but you are too stubborn to" he says and then giggles. "So Fallon invited you here" I murmer under my breath while pressing hard on my teeth. I hate when people try to pressure me to do things or try to 'help' with things I told them I am going to or might do. And ofcorce Fallon is one of those people. At this point I am not that mad. I want to get this done with. But that doesn't mean that I am not mad at all ! I swear how dare she. "Easy on your teeth , soon they will brake" He tells me. One of the reasons I hate green eyes is that he talks back at me or gives me snarky comments , people are afraid to even talk a word with me and that is how I like it. I am used to it that way. But with Alan the rule doesn't go by, he goes close to the lion and tries to be friends with him. That is what he does. Wich is wrong. How does he have the courage ? We are quite while we pick up the papers.

We are finally done with picking up the many many papers into a pile. Great. Now I have to sort them out and that is going to take a long time. Yay more work for me ! But I will do it later. We get up and Fallon comes down the stairs really overdressed, as if she isn't overdressed all the time. But her style is nice , sometimes. Most of her outfits are beautiful. Just not my style , not something I would wear. She calls them 'fabulous'. I give Fallon a very mad stare. She nervously but also smugly ? smiles at me. My face went from mad to -Really ?- . "Well now that you have met can we go to the dining room?" Fallon asks. I nod defeated and Alan nods as well. With a smile. When does he not smile ? It is annoying. Atleast for me. And not normal annoying , extra annoying. We all sit on the dining table. Wich is dramatic for just three people. "So Fallon , what is the reason you invited me to this lovely dinner ?" Alan asks. Man I hated him. He ready knew why he was here. He knew the reason well. He just did that to annoy me. Everything in him is so annoying. Everything. "Actully I wanted to talk to you about something" I say. I just have to say it and then I'm done. Right ? "And what is that something ?" He aks pretending not to know anything , innocently with a smug on his face. I hate being the one to turn out wrong and back off my word. But I had to do that. "I umm I was - I was wondering if you - want to umm work with me , as my main desighner." I say. Fallon looks at me with a certain look of -you are forgetting something-
"And - my assistant" I say. Fallon nods and smiles. "Sadly" I murmer under my breath making sure no one heard. "Why are you nervous calm down" he says. Wich makes me even more annoyed and frustrated. "I'm not nervous you idiot" I said madly. He gives me an evil smile. "I don't know. I dont feel like you need me in your company. I dont even feel that you want me to work with you" he says. I know where this is going. The 'please' sentences. Fallon gives me a 'do it' look. "Actully Gre- Alan it would be a pleasure if you would work with me. We need someone as good as you" I barely say with a very fake smile on my face. "Ok then. Let's do this. As long as you dont do with me what you did with your last assistant" he laughs. "People I did not do anything to my assistant !" I yell. "Right. When do I sign the contract ?" He asks. I need to take this pressure off me even if it means I have to work with green eyes , the person who annoys the hell out of me. I look through the many papers that are now mixed up because of a certain someone who bumped into me, and I find the contract papers. "Just sign here" I tell him pointing at the lower part of the paper. He gets a pen out of his pocket and signs. I take the pen form his hand and sign and well. Done. The deal is done. It was easy right ? But what will not be easy now is tolerating him at work everyday. My assistant and main designer ? That's alot of interaction needed. I will see him everyday, every morning, every night and every evening. I dont know how I feel about that. Wait actully I do. I hate it. Fun fact , I have never had a Male as my assistant. Never really thought of it. They are usually girls. "Well , I am happy we could communicate" he says. He gets up to leave now. "Right. Thankyou for the lovely dinner." He says. "Waaaaiittt" I say. He looks at me confused. "You're my assistant now. Right ?" I say. "Yes maam" he says sarcastically. "Well Mr assistant take those and sort them out." I tell him as I reach out for the messy piles of papers and files and hand them to him. "Hard work from the first day I see" he says. "Well you made the work for yourself. You dropped them after all. I will call you tommorow and tell you the work we have for monday." I tell him. He nods and gives me a smile. Damn I will say it again I hate his smile. He is always mr perfect , smiling. No matter how bad something is. Was that just jealousy that I was feeling ? Was I jealous that he could handle stuff very smoothly and calmly but I cant control myself and be happy like that ? No, I deffinately did not. Did I ? Nooo ! "Goodnight Veronica" he says. "Boss" I correct. "Miss Carington" he says. I did not like poeple calling me Miss Carington but I chose to ignore it. "Goodnight" I reply. He heads outside the door. That was crazy.

"So ? That wasnt so bad , was it ?" Fallon aks. "No , no it wasnt" I pause a little. "But i am still mad at you" I yell. "Relax" she says. "If it wasnt for me I know you would have never done it" she says. I start chasing after her as she giggles and runs away to outside. I keep chasing after her. Eventually I am close enough to her to catch her but she takes off one of her heels and throws it at me. Then she starts to laugh. "What the hell !" I yell. "That couldve hurt me !" I tell her. "I knew it wouldn't hit you cause you have great reflex skills" she says. I get closer to her and I push her inside if the pool. I have to admit , that was a bit harsh but again she could've hurt me with her heel. To think about it I dont even know she can run that fast with heels on. She gives me a very mad frown. "Ok now we are even now, come on dont be mad it's just a joke" I say while she is still in the pool. I reach out my hand to help her get out but she pulls me in making me fall into the cold water with her. "No , now we are even" she says. I can feel my whole body build up goosebumps. "Heyyy" I say with my voice cracking up from the cold. We start laughing together. We get out of the freezing water and we start dripping water drops all over the floor while shivering. Still laughing. We get inside of the house still dripping water and Dad looks at us confused. "Long story" Fallon says to our staring father. He awkwardly nods and walk away. I go up to my room and get off the cold clothes. I felt like I was a block of ice. I layed out some pyjamas on my bed and then went to the bathroom and turned the hot shower water, then I stepped inside. Still laughing about what happened.

HEY STRANGERS ! HOW DID YOU LIKE THSI CHAPTER ? DO YOU THINK VERONICA CAN TOLERATE ALAN AT WORK ? OR AS SHE CALLS HIM GREEN EYES.
