I followed Scarlett around like a lost puppy, nodding and humming when she pointed things out that I should take note of. I knew I was getting on her nerves if the previous playful scold was to go by. She didn't like the no answer attitude but she was suprisingly not doing anything about it. We rounded a corner and walked into what looked like another office I was assuming, closing the glass door behind her. "This will be your office for when I don't need you, it's the closest to mine that way I can still keep an eye on you if need be" she turned around and crossed her arms as I took in my surroundings, I didn't even realise we basically did a full circle tour. "It's nice" I mumbled in awe and ran my fingers over a few objects, there were your typical office supplies, a few old photos of the group when it started.
Her eyes never left my hands. "You just can't help yourself can you, you've got to touch everything hmm?" she mused and opened the door for me as we made our way back to her office. I blushed and muttered out a small huff. "Don't be a brat, there's nothing wrong with touching, it's good to know though" with her eyebrows raised, she smirked and hummed out her response, aware of the prominent blush on my cheeks. I swear to you she's doing it on purpose. I waited for her to walk a little in front of me before rolling my eyes, blushing when I saw Kate hide a chuckle. "Scar what have you done to her, she's blushing" Kate cooed teasingly and Scarlett waved her off, not realising how red I was behind her. I pretty much whined when the actress turned around and feigned shock.
"Oh my, did my comment embarrass you? I'm sorry honey, next time just say something and I'll stop okay?" she cupped my cheeks gently and I was so glad that Kate was the only one in this area cause what happened next was kinda a blur. I let out an audible whine and ripped my face away from Scarlett's hands, "Stop teasing me" I grumbled and looked away, not noticing Scarlett's demeanour change the slightest. Her hands went to my waist and her lips were dangerously close to my neck as she whispered, "I said not to be a brat, now be a good girl and calm down" I gulped and nodded, looking down, freezing when she spoke again, her lips not moving from their spot. "Use your words sweetheart" "Yes Miss Johansson" she hummed approvingly and pulled away, my still glowing red at the whole situation. "Good luck Y/n" Kate called out and saluted as she walked away, leaving Scarlett and I alone. "You get so worked up over the simplest things kitten, it's quite cute" her tone now playful and I was lowkey still in a daze to realise.
We entered her office and she directed me to grab a chair and sit next to her while we looked at her schedule for the week on her laptop. "Today I have a meeting with Sephora to finalise the release and I want you there taking notes about how meetings really work. There won't be many people and it'll be an online session so literally just me and you in here and three other people online" she advised and pulled my chair closer to her and the screen. "Tomorrow will consist of packing pre-order packages to a few trendy people what are they calle-" "Influencers" I cut her off and she refrained from correcting me, "..yeah those, we have about 30 to do so it'll be all hands on deck" she clicked on another page and it brought up a website pop up with a bunch of digital notes on it.
"Now I read in your resume that you're also good at marketing and business so I want you to be involved in creating our website" she turned to me with a hopeful, almost nervous look. Weird. "Um sure I don't really think I'll be any better than who ever is already designing the marketing aspect but I'll give it a go I guess" I shrugged and she seemed pleased enough to turn back aroud and continue on with the week's pop-ups. In all honestly, she was talking about things, I couldn't even tell you what they were cause I was too busy looking at her. "I can feel you staring, you're quite obvious you know" she kept her voice low and turned to face me, a cocky smirk playing on her lips. "Well if you weren't so stupidly pretty I wouldn't have an issue" I gave her a smirk back and this time she didn't say anything, she just matched my comment.
"You're getting confident now hmm? I appreciate the compliment but please, keep it in your pants you goof" she smiled genuinely and we looked at more upcoming events, a soft almost warm atmosphere surrounding us. "Okay that's kinda all we have coming up for the next two weeks did you just want to follow me around or explore by yourself, fist day's are always either a hit or miss" Scarlett shut her laptop down and swivelled her chair to face me. I was hesitant for both options but felt a little more comfortable if I was with her as opposed to being alone in the HQ. "Can I stay with you?" I hesitated and blushed when she snickered. "Already attached hey? Cute" she remarked and we walked out of her office to the main area.
She mingled with a few co-workes and introduced me when needed but other than that I felt like I was her piece of jewellery. Her new shiny toy. Oh my god what are you thinking. I was snapped out of my thoughts by a tight squeeze on he hip. "Focus" she warned when she wasn't being spoken to by the group. I sucked in a breath when one of her co-workers smiled politely at me and asked a few questions. "So Y/n what brings you here?" she looked happy, and I looked at Scarlett quickly before I asnwered her. Why the fuck did I look at her for? "Oh I was um looking for a new job and I'm currently doing a Marketing and Business degree and my University actually found out how to apply and then before I know it, boom an intern-" "Personaly Assistant actually, mine" Scarlett cut in and wrapped a protective arm around the back of my torso.
"Wow! Well I hope the job ties in well with your degree how you want it to, and I know things like this are always daunting but we're all nice here, we're not that scary" she finished off nicely and the rest of the group strated conversing again, Scarlett's arm never moved. "Well done pretty girl, who knew a little brat like you could be so polite" Scarlett whispered and I swear I got goosebumps. I cleared my throat, drawing unwanted attention from the group and I mused up the courage to get out of Scarlett's light hold, "Can anyone show me where the bathrooms are?" The girl from before volunteered and I could feel Scarlett's eyes burning the back of my head as we walked off together. Two can play that game Scarly. You tease me and call me brat? I'll give you a brat.
