I'm standing outside the office building where I'll have to work for the most intimidating man I know.

Kate put together an outfit for me that I'm not confident in. Its all black which isn't so great but it's whatever. The problem is that it feels like something a smart professional woman would wear. It feels too much for me considering i'm a child.

You're 19. Get it together.

Maybe I'm exaggerating a little. I'm just wearing a black turtleneck and black dress pants.

The last time I wore this dress pants was for my high school graduation because my foster parents wanted me to look "put together". Whatever that means.

Since the receptionist gave me weird looks for my hair last time I decided to just put it in a low bun. It still looks good because I took out a few braids to frame my face.

The only redeeming part of this outfit is the fact that I'm wearing strawberry print socks. No one will see it through my Oxford clad shoes but I'll know it's there. Also let's just ignore the footwear, i had a stroke when Kate pulled it out from the depths of hell. Aka my closest.

Kate and mina both told me I looked great and classy. I think they meant boring.

I check my phone and see I have 2 minutes to go up to Xanders office. Holy forking shirtballs.

I didn't run into the building I briskly walked.

The last time I was here I got a keycard from HR so I don't have to talk to the receptionist. I'm kinda glad. She was really rude.

I do smile at her before I walk into the elevator though.

She flips me off.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

When the elevator closes I stare at my caca colored eyes. This whole mirrored elevator doors thing sucks. Why are they forcing us to look at ourselves?

Some of us hate ourselves.

Not me though.

Maybe.

When I get off I see an empty desk. MY desk. I wonder if I can decorate it.

I put my backpack under the desk. I brought my school assignments so I can work on them during my lunch break. Also I might've gotten more adderall from ravi hehe. Whatever Xander has assigned for me I'm more than equipped for.

I advance to Xanders office and knock on the door. I'm a respectful woman.

It's silent for a beat then I hear "come in"

His cold and detached eyes are on me when I walk in He is so beautiful it is physically painful. His hair looks neat and put together. I don't think I've ever seen this guy not look like he's in a James Bond movie.

He's clenching his jaw and I can see a vain on his forehead. Okay I'm guessing he's pissed. Why the hell would he be pissed it's not even 8 am yet.

"You're late." What is he talking about? I pull out my phone and see it's 8:02. I'm late 2 minutes. I'm already messing this up.

"Sorry boss man I thought I was on time" I give him an apologetic smile.

His glare is so sharp that my stomach drops.

"Okay I'm sorry I was late. It won't happen again. Please don't fire me. Also while you're already mad can I mention I don't have an iPad? Your old assistant forwarded me your schedule but I don't have an iPad so I'll have to look it up on the computer. Again don't fire me please" I start airing out my pits because I'm starting to sweat. Does he think I stink? I drop my arms.

Xander picks up his phone and types something on it then looks at me and says "I'm only going to say this once so listen closely. Do not call me boss man or Xander. You are only allowed to call me Mr.King or sir. You need be outside my office 8 on the dot every morning with my black coffee from Maria's down the street. You also go where I go and you do what I tell you to do. That means you take notes when I'm in a meeting, you buy my lunch, you pick up my dry cleaning, you set meetings and remind me off them. If you fail to do so you, will be laid off. Is that clear Ms.Carter"

Wow. Umm maybe im not qualified for this job?

Rent.

Yeah I have to pay that don't I.

How am I supposed to juggle this job and a school work?

There's a knock on the door and a brown haired guy walks in. Who is he?

"Here ma'am" he hands me a white box.

I reluctantly take it "what's this for?"

"It's the fucking iPad you said you didn't have." This comes from Xander.

He got me an iPad? Aww he's warming up to me.

It's a work thing. He doesn't like you.

Can I not romanticize my life? Geez.

"Okay thanks boss man i really appreciate it. I'll go set it up"

Xanders glare reminds me what I did wrong.

"Omg sorry I meant Mr.King" he just waves for me to go.

This isn't the best start is it.

I walk out of his office and make my way to my desk. I start setting up my new iPad and pull up Xanders schedule.

Wow he's booked and busy huh.

He has a meeting with a Mr.Roberts at 10 then has a lunch thing with a Ms. Kane. Which is supposed to last 4 hours...

Am I expected to be there for 4 hours?

The phone on my desk starts ringing and I pick it up "hello?"

"Ms. Carter come to my office now" oh it's Xander.

I walk into his office while he's typing something on his computer. Every time I look at him it's like the wind was knocked out of me. He has an intimidating aura surrounding him that's both frightening and intoxicating.

"Ms. Carter i believe you've had more than enough time to set up your new iPad. Tell me my schedule" he doesn't even look at me when he says this. Maybe that's a good thing because his eyes scare me but also make my skin feel tingly.

"Yeah okay you have a meeting at 10 with a Mr.Roberts then a lunch thing with a Ms. Kane"

"reschedule the meeting with Mr.Roberts and let Mr.Thompson know that I'm coming to his office. You're dismissed." He waves me off

"Okay Mr.King no problem I got it see ya" i smile at him even though he's not looking at me.

I pull one of the drawers in my desk and take out a phone book and look for a Mr.Thompson.

I call him when I find his number and his assistant picks up. I let her know that Xander is coming.

I feel like I should be doing more. This job is pretty easy.
