SCANDAL

Associate

Y/N's POV -

Ever since a few nights ago, when Carol left in the middle of the night, I couldn't stop the thoughts that roamed in my mind.

Then tonight happened...

"Good night, honey." She said once we got in bed.

"Good night, Carol." I whispered before shutting my eyes.

A few hours went by, and I opened my eyes to see Carol's side of the bed empty. I turned to the clock and saw that it was twelve in the morning.

I got up and walked towards the door, where I heard Carol on the phone with someone.

"I'd love that, I'll see you soon..." I heard her laugh.

"K, bye." Carol stopped the call and I quickly went back into the bed.

The Next Morning...

"Carol ?" I started the conversation while she started the car.

"Yes ?" She replied, her eyes on the road.

"Where were you the other night ?" I brought up the topic.

There was a moment of silence in the car right after I asked the question. Plus, I could feel some sort of tension between us.

"Um, I was-" Before she could complete the sentence, my phone rang, and I could've sworn I heard her release a relieved sigh.

"Hi, Y/N Danvers." I answered the call.

It was just some impatient client that needed some requirements. While I took the call, Carol rubbed my thigh, giving me some sort of support from the call.

DANVERS LLC.

The two entered the building, getting into the elevator. Once they reached their floor, there was a line of applicants for their corporation's expansion.

They greeted the wives as heads turned towards them.

Then there was a woman who was one of the first in line for the interview, who caught their attention.

"Good morning, Mrs. Danvers." Maria greeted the two.

"Good morning, Maria. What position are they applying for ?" Carol asked, pointing at the applicants.

"They're applying as associates. The whole building is interviewing applicants for different positions, but they're the ones you're going to interview today." Carol's assistant informed.

"Great. Sweetheart, why don't you start, then I'll catch up. I have a meeting in a few minutes." Carol suggested to Y/N.

Y/N agreed, and Carol gave her a light peck on her cheek before walking off to one of the meeting rooms.

Then Jane accompanied her, and they walked to her office.

Soon the interviews started, and Y/N went through the first few, liking their qualities, but they weren't that captivating.

Then another woman came into her office.

First of all, she entered confidently with a beautiful smile on her face.

"Good morning, I'm Y/N Danvers." Y/N stood up to shake the girl's hand.

"Good morning, Mrs. Danvers. It's an honor meeting you." She shook her hand, and took a seat across Y/N.

"I'm Wanda Maximoff." She introduced herself.

"Wanda...nice name." Y/N complimented. "Thank you." Wanda smiled cheekily.
