Oh my god I'm going to get fired on my first day. It's not any job either, I'm working for fucking Scarlett Johansson for crying out loud! I don't even know how it happened one day I'm studying business and marketing, the next my resume went through and I got an intern job at The Outset. Fucking wild. But back to my issue, I'm late by about 20 minutes and I'm really freaking out now. I made it to the office building but now I've got to wait for the elevators or I could climb the stairs but fuck that with it being on the 7th floor.
"Come on come on come on" I mumbled frustratedly and hit the button a couple more times. Sooner or later the elevators opened and made my way to the office. Standing behind the glass door, I took a deep breath and opened it internally cringing when I saw everyone's heads turn to me. "You're late Miss Y/L/N" a smooth voice rasped and I looked over to my right where I saw the woman leaning over someone's desk and writing on a few papers before turning aronud and standing up straight, folding her arms at me. "Can I see you in my office, Erica can you fix up those for me while I speak to the new intern please. Once you're done go see Kate, she'll be able to finish and finalise the product desciption for us thank you" Scarlett called over her shoulder as she gave me a stern look and lead the way to her office. "Come in and sit there" she pointed to a fancy chair as she closed the door softly.
"I'm gonna cut right to it, why are you late and why should I keep you around" the blonde kept her voice firm and held no room for bullshit, this woman was such a powerful energy it was actually quite intimidating. I gulped and looked down at my hands, playing with my fingers and cracking my knuckles. "Look at me when I ask you a question, and please, don't crack your knuckles" she grounded her expectations with a frustrated sigh. I raised my head and slowly met her eyes, cringing when she just raised an eyebrow at my lack of answer. I cleared my throat and mumbled out an embarrased "sorry".
"Uhm I accidentally didn't set my alarm properly last night, I promise it wont happen again. As for why you should keep me around, I'm not an expert in the things you expect me to do but I am willing to learn and grow on matters and subjects that are unfamilar to me so really it's a great privilege to start off an an intern at The Outset" I finished off with a blush as the slighlt older woman looked at me with the smallest smirk and nodded her head approvingly. "What would you say if I said I'd want you to be a personal assistant to one of us here instead of a general intern?" she hummed in question.
When I tell you I nearly choked on the request, I'm not kidding. "Excuse me?" I asked in disbelief but all I got was a tight lipped nod. "I'm not asking again, is it a yes or a no, I've got plenty of other people who'd love to be a PA, offers don't come twice here" she crossed her arms and jutted her hip out. Fuck me dude. "It's a yes Ms Johansson" I nodded and looked away when she smirked and clapped her hands. "Okay I'll show you around, don't forget anything and for the love of god, stop cracking those knuckles" she gave a pointed glare at my hands, mid-crack and I had to force myself to not finish cracking them any more than I already have.
I let my hands drop by my side as I followed Scarlett around and I swear I felt every single persons eyes on us, or well me rather. No one fucks with Ms Johansson. "Ignore them sweetheart" came a low whisper and if I wasn't tailgating her I wouldn't have heard it. Oh my god she called me sweetheart. If I wasn't nervous already this just got a whole lot more nerve wracking. I nodded my head and a small 'tut' noise came out of her mouth. "We're gonna have to train you to not only look at someone when they speak to you but answer them too" she teased playfully over her shoulder and I'd be lying if I said those words didn't affect me.
"Sorry, I'll try harder next time" I mumbled weakly and kept my head down as we walked around the HQ for the product line. We came to a stop and I snapped my head up at the sudden change of motion, sucking in a breath when I caught Scareltt's eyes in one of the mirrors she's got in the meeting/ conference room. "Kate can you come here for a sec" Scarlett ushered her work partner over to her and introduced me. "Kate, Y/n. Y/n, Kate. Miss 20 minutes late on her first day over here is gonna be assisting me as best as she can while the work family grows as well as my own. I figured kill two birds with one stone would be the best way to go" the actress shrugged and by the look Kate was giving I knew it meant trouble. "Oh sweetheart, you're brave" Kate smiled politely and rolled her eyes when Scarlett shoved her lightly.
What was so bad about the offer? I tilted my head in confusion and before I could get a word out Kate cut me right off. "You'll figure it out but for now have fun" she smirked and walked off back towards the main entrance area and I braced myself before adverting my attention back to Scarlett. "Don't be so nervous darling, I don't bite" her voice lowered and I swear it was dripping in honey. I gulped and looked away from her face, clearing my throat and cracking my knuckles again instinctively. "What did I say about those pretty little knuckles of yours. Stop. Cracking. Them" the blonde raised one of her perfect fucking eyebrows and crossed her arms.
"It's hard not to, its a habit I'm sorry" I mumbled and rolled my eyes slightly, tensing when a firm hand rested on the top of my hands where my knuckles are. "Well try harder and do not roll your eyes at me. Understood?" she pretty much growled and I had to hold back an unholy sound. "Yes Scarlett" I whispered out, "That's Ms Johansson Y/n" she directed, "Yes Ms Johansson" I replied, a blush running laps around my face. "Good girl" she lost contact with my hands and walked off like she didn't just fucking melt me into a puddle. "Come on I haven't finished the tour yet" she called over her shoulder and I was snapped back into reality, catching up to her and sighing when she gave a small hum of approval. Since when was she this fucking scary and intimidating? And what the hell was that all about, she's got a family with two kids!
As Kate said, I'm just gonna try and have fun and I guess we'll see how brave I am as time goes by.
