Office Space

Adam Sackler was the first boyfriend Samantha had ever moved in with. Her past boyfriends were very clear of the space they wanted, stating that couples that choose living together eventually would begin to hate each other. Stating the magic wears off and they would realize how wrong they are for each other.

What if "the magic" wears off between Adam and I? What if we begin to have fall outs over 'couple stuff'? I don't wanna fight with him! That's last thing I want.

It had been a two weeks since Samantha had quit her job at the spa. Avoiding alcohol at all cost!
She had applied for almost any position hiring in the 50 mile radius of Adam's apartment. She even applied for jobs that she wasn't skillfully qualified for. Telling little white lies on resumes. She just needed to be able to work and not feel like a free loader.
Thankfully she landed one that paid exceptionally well:

'Samantha Banks ,Administrative Assistant!!'

"Good afternoon , Mayer Corp,
Samantha speaking. How may I help you?" Samantha chirped with such a professional tone on the phone.

"Is Matthew Miller there?? I need to speak to him immediately!"  The caller demanded with a over strung tone. A antsy tone that sounded like she meant to be connected to 911 instead of a corporate business.

"May I ask who's calling?" Samantha asked politely. Answering her calls exactly how she was trained.

"It's Jessie! Just connect me to Matthew!!" The woman yells at Samantha.

Samantha held the phone away from her ear now, raising her eyebrow in confusion.

Bitch, calm down..

"Please hold ma'am." Samantha says faking her pleasant demeanor, putting the lunatic on call waiting.

She pressed her boss's extension number, listening to it ring a few times before the call was taken.

"Matthew Miller speaking. " her boss answered with his serenading voice.
She could faintly hear opera music playing in the background of his office.

Samantha glanced at the flashing red light on her phone, indicating that this Jessie -Lady was still waiting for Samantha to come back. She was hoping by now she would of just hung up!

"Mr. Miller ,it's Samantha. " She answered.

"For the last time Sammy, call me Matthew." He says with a cheesy chuckle.

It made her cringe that her boss would call her by a nickname she had never went by.

"Matthew.. erm..there's a call waiting for you. The caller is Jessie.. it sounded pretty urgent, would you like for me to direct--"

"Jessie? GOD NO! She was my last secretary. Tell her I'm in a meeting!  Then after my meeting, I'll treat you to lunch afterwards. But ..if she calls again, hang up." her boss states sternly.
