Experiment 5475

Distracted

"Dude your late...your never late" Robert whispered looking Nathan as he rushed over to his deck with his briefcase. Nathan yawns sitting down hoping know one else noticed him coming in late. He tossed and turned all night then his phone died in the middle of the night so his alarm clock didn't turn on. He boots up his computer Robert looked at him with a raised brow taking note of his messy appearance his hair was in all directions his suit was buttoned incorrectly and it wasn't even ironed. This was all very out of place for Nathan making Robert grin "You must have had a good time with Ivy last night huh?" Nathan lets out a awkward laugh typing on his computer. The date was the last thing on his mind at this moment he didn't want to give Robert all the details here right now "Um yahh.." his voice trials glancing out the corner of his eye at his friend. Robert smiles hitting him on the shoulder "You animal!" he said slightly to loud gathering some people's attention. Nathan glared at him "Give me some details or something....no wait lets get lunch together on our break you can tell me then" Robert winks at him before typing on his own computer. Nathan looks from side to side trying to come up with some reason they couldn't have lunch together "I..I can't I have plans" he studded he couldn't get lunch with him the mystery girl may be waiting to talk to him. Though the chance was slim that she stayed there was a small chance that she listened to his warning and just stayed at his house. It wasn't safe for her to go out in her current condition she needed time to heal. But then again why should he care he didn't know her or anything but he felt instilled to take care of her because he hit her with his damn car. Of course Robert didn't believe him looking at him suspicious "Plan? What kinda plans? I'm your only friend,you don't like going out and your parents live out of state. You have no damn plans we're having lunch together we can have it at your place" he laughs rolling his eyes before getting back to work. Nathan looks at his keyboard wanting to cuss at his friend for knowing him so well. Now they where going to be having their break at his house where mystery girl would be...well may still be. He has never been good at lying exactly to Robert he couldn't talk his way out of this "Fine I guess we can do that" Robert smiles only half listening. Nathan was wondered could the day get any worse "Thompson my office now" Mr. Jennings called over the intercom making him tense up. Was this because he spoke up yesterday was he really about to be fired!? He hasn't even payed his phone bill yet he can't get fired today he panicked while standing up Robert looked up take him "I'm sure it's nothing..." which they both knew was a lie Mr. Jennings doesn't just call people to his office for nothing. He didn't respond before walking towards his office "Did he know I came late?" he whispered standing in front of his office door no yet knocking. Rubbing a hand down his face sighing "I'm so fucking dead" he cringed before knocking on the door "Come in Thompson" he closed his eyes tightly before entering the office. He was sat at his desk paperwork lay out on his desk Nathan walked closer taking the seat across from him Mr. Jennings clasped his fingers onto top of his desk watching him. He fidgeting with his fingers before meeting his eyes "You wanted to see me sir?" Mr. Jennings smiles sliding a folder towards him on the desk. He continued to sit confused Mr. Jennings gestured for him to pick up the folder "We just had a big company call in that wants to one day work with the government. We don't have much information on them but there called BMD labs they would like to get there accounts in order before the their final pitch" Nathan picks up the folder wondering what his boss was trying to get at. He stands from his desk turning to look out the big glass window "You wanted a chance to prove yourself...you wanted to to move up this is your opportunity don't fuck it up boy. They are expecting it to be done by the end of the year they have been in business for at least 20 years. And these alot of records to look through you better get started" Nathan swallowed hard looking at the thick folder in his hands. He wondered was his boss setting him up for failure or something. This company has been open around 20 years...that was 20 years of information to look through by himself! This was the type of case you would give a group of people to get through because of how long it will take. Why was he giving this solely to him to get done alone? If he failed his whole career as a accountant was on the line he couldn't turn it down though if he did succeed he would definitely be getting promoted to the top floor. Standing up he glared at Mr. Jennings back he would show him not to underestimate him "I have it under control sir and don't worry it will be done and given to the company by the end of the year" Mr. Jennings turns looking at him giving him a nod "Good don't worry about your previous case's I'll pass him along to fine" Nathan grinds hus teeth it's as if he was challenge. He knew it was a bad idea but he couldn't stop himself for saying "I can do my last 4 case's as well. I'll finish them and then get to the case for BMD labs" his eyes casted towards the ground. As Mr. Jennings gives him a smile before nodding "Fine then get to work then boy" Nathan turns walking right out the office beating himself for speaking up. Racing back to his desk to get to work as fast as possible on his case's holding the folder with his future close to his chest.
