*WARNING THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE AND TALK OF HARASSMENT.* 

Alexi

I was just getting home from my run when I got a phone call. Checking the caller ID I seen that it was Tom.

 Why would Tom be calling me, it's my day off? Pressing accept I pressed the phone to my face and waited for him to speak.

 "Alexi, Hi it's Tom" He spoke in a monotone voice. Ouch, this cannot be good I thought before answering him. 

"Hi Tom I kinda guessed it was you from the caller ID" I Joked with him but he didn't laugh with me. 

"I don't find this anything to laugh about Alexi" He replied in a stern voice, stopping my laughter immediately.

 "Okay Thomas, why did you call me then?" I say with a serious tone in my voice, getting down to business.

"I'm calling to tell you that your work ethic and attitude recently has been way off and that I'm not putting up with it anymore, Alexi I'm firing you". He said with a monotone voice. 

Panic raced through me when he said those words 'I'm firing you', how the hell am I supposed to pay my rent, buy food? 

You know what, I will figure something out maybe this is my change.

"Hold up MY work ethic has been bad, excuse yourself for a moment. Who is the one in the wrong here you've been flirting with me nonstop for over a year, even when I've clearly told you I don't want a relationship and I don't want anything more than a boss-employee relationship, strictly business". I practically shout down the phone.

"You have no idea how uncomfortable you have made me feel at times, with the placing a hand on my knee and moving it higher or grabbing me by my waist. I could have had called the cops on you because of the harassment but I didn't, simply because I needed a job. So don't you dare try and tell me that my work ethic and attitude has been bad when boy all I've wanted to do for the past year is kick your ass" I say adding a hair flick my end of the phone.

"Now if you would excuse me Mr Grey, I have a very important date with my couch." And with that I hung up.

 "What a giant ass" I scream to myself probably waking Jenna up as I stormed into the kitchen grabbing a spoon and snatching a tub of Ben&Jerrys cookie dough.

Marching back into the living room Jenna was standing at the door with rather 'Attractive' looking bed hair and a sleepy look across her face.

 "Hey what's wrong I heard you scream and I quote "What a giant ass" and I'm assuming you weren't talking about Kim Kardashian so who's butt am I kicking?" She says walking into the kitchen and grabbing a spoon.

"You know I told you about my boss getting all touchy feely with me and how he wouldn't leave me alone, always asking me out on dates?" I say taking a spoonful of ice cream onto my spoon. 

"Yeah, I remember that asshole how could I forget him" She mumbled probably thinking about different ways she could castrate him.

"Well he called and basically told me that my attitude stunk and that he was firing me, so I went to town on his ass. I told him exactly what I thought about him and how he treated me" I say holding my chin up with my hand underneath. 

"That's my girl, I taught you well!" She squealed pulling me into a hug.

"So movie day today like you promised, who are we going to go for? Channing Tatum or Jhonny Depp?" She asks pulling out Magic Mike and Pirates of the Caribbean.

 I throw my hand onto my chest gasping over dramatically. 

"How could you make me choose between the two sexiest men alive!" Hitting her arm after my little performance.

"Okay okay calm down drama queen, we will watch Magic Mike first then Pirate, is that okay with you?" She says getting up to put the disk in the player.

 "Sure whatever I don't mind" I reply making myself comfy on the sofa.

Half way through the film I had a brain wave, Nelson&Murdock. Jumping up scaring the living daylights out of Jenna at my sudden movements I sprinted into the bedroom where I had discarded of my jacket, I shoved my hand into the pocket pulling out the small business card before running back into the living room.

I pulled out my phone entering the contact number and pressing dial just as Jenna turned her head towards me. "What's goi-" "SSSHHHH" I cut her off holding a hand over her mouth.

"Hello, Nelson&Murdock Attorneys at Law how can I help?" The same voice I remember from earlier that day.

"H-hey Foggy it's Alexi, You know you said I could drop by anytime I needed to?"
