The House of Baroness doesn't keep interns for very long. Anyone who'd met the Baroness knew why. The most ones lasted is two weeks and three days. The least? Half an hour. But something was different with these two...
Claudia Vixen. Bright, talente...
"What have you two done? Need I call a lawyer?" Victoria asked sarcastically. "What little trust you have in us!" Estella laughed, helping herself to a glass of water.
Victoria looked skeptically at the box. "What's that?"
"It's for you."
She took it into her arms and the dog sprung out onto Victoria's chest. Her face scrunched up. "A rabbit?" She asked, confused. Estella snorted. "It's a dog." You stated. "That, my treasure, is a bunny."

"It's a Pomeranian." You reassured, holding back a giggle. "She's a dear. Was this the surprise you wanted to give me the other day?" Victoria asked, everything clicking together. You nodded, silently.
The smile you had so desperately awaited came flooding in. The smile that held you up when you were no more than Finch's doll.
"What was her name?" Victoria asked, lifting the puppy off of her face and putting her firmly on the ground to meet her Dalmatian siblings. "She is your dog, I can't name her!" You reminded her.
When she was making a decision, Victoria scrunches her face up and tilts her head. She was doing that now, watching as the ball of fur played with the unamused Genghis.
"Kali."
"Her name is Kali." Victoria decided. "That's beautiful. What does it mean?" You asked, curling next to Victoria. "Kali is a goddess of destruction and power. I would have called Benz that, had he been a girl." Victoria stated. "Very much a guard dog name."you replied. "She doesn't seem the type!" Estella laughed. As she said this, Genghis strutted over to Victoria and whined, her fluffy companion scurrying after.
You petted Genghis's head. "Aww Genghis!" Victoria cooed. "Mumma loves you." She reassured. Estella grumbled. "Oh the dog gets more love than me!" She mocked. Victoria massaged her temples. "Good god Estella." She mumbled.
The bickering was cut short by what sounded like deep moaning coming from downstairs.
Your face dropped.
"I think I hear Y/N's wallet opening!" Estella chimed, scurrying downstairs. Victoria followed after her. "Estella-"
As presumed, John and Artie were having fun. Upon seeing Victoria, panic ensued. "Ma'am- I can explain!" John stuttered. "Hello Mrs Estella's Mum." Artie greeted. Victoria stared at the two shirtless men, before cracking a smile. "My apologies."

"You think you are in love with Hans?"
"Yes."

You begrudgingly pulled a £20 note out an passed it to Estella. "Thank you!" She chirped, taking it from you, proudly. "Would you be more comfortable upstairs?" Victoria offered. Artie picked up his coat. "I've got to run Estella home. It was a real pleasure to meet you John. See you again sometime?" He asked. John nodded.
"Mrs Hellman, pleasure to meet you."
Watching the car drive off, Victoria immediately changed. "Ooooooh John!! You got a boy toy?" She teased. John was bright pink. "Victoria leave him be." You laughed. "But Y/N!"
You gripped her waist.
"Pretty girl, play nice!" You demanded. "Yes ma- Y/N. Yes Y/N, dear." She stuttered. "Do you want to head upstairs?" You asked. She nodded.
