(chapter 25)

finally finishing off some of the documents my father sent over i lean back in my chair releasing a sigh, today was maeves first day as my assistant.i was i bit nervous when she didnt come in this morning on time, i thought she reconsidered,

 getting up i turn off everything and walk out my office. when heading out off my office i get a bit of a shock seeing maeve still at her desk. "shouldn't you be home now?" i question her. 

"I suppose so, but I had nothing to do this afternoon, and I know I'll get bored. I thought I could just finish off the list you gave me, but if I'm not allowed, I'll go right now. I'm sorry," she rushes out, hastily gathering her belongings to leave. "No, it's okay," i rush out, i don't want her to leave yet, thinking for a second i ask "have you eaten?"

a confused expression crosses her face, her mouth goes into a small pout while thinking about it.  "umm no, well i did have breakfast, i think i'm actually not sure, kwno that you said that i am pretty hungry, oo maybe ill go to that place on the way home" she rambles

touching her shoulder to pull her out of the ramble  "Would you like to get something to eat right now?" i quickly mumble out, i can feel my cheeks burning 

"Sure!" she responds  "I mean, yeah, whatever... Where are we going?" she says afterwards,i try and hide a small smirk.before saying  "Follow me,". 

--

we arrive at a cafe, we take a seat at the back. pushing over a menu and i look at one myself, looking up at her she's looking over at the entrance, she has a frown one her face.  when she looks back over at me i can tell she anxious by the way she chewing her lips,

"do you have a staring problem?, wait thats mean, i didn't mean it like that" she blurts out but quickly taking it back. 

this women , 

going to reply what she asked, i get interrupted by my phone, i get up and tell her ill be back, walking out side i answer it 

"Hello."

"What the hell happened today? I'm getting emails after emails asking what the emails today were about," my dad says, his voice edged with frustration.

"Oh, I'm doing fine. How are you?" I mock, trying to lighten the tension.

"Don't start. Answer the question."

"Well, I'm guessing the clients don't know how to read," I reply sarcastically.

"Oh, so it has nothing to do with your new assistant?"

"News travels fast."

"Well, it's my company."

"Yeah, yeah. Wait, why'd you call again?"

"Because your assistant ruined a business deal we could've had with a company, but now they've taken a new contract with another firm."

"Yeah, well, it's her first day. I'll fix it." i don't know how i will but hell make sure i do.

"you better" is all he says before hanging up, taking a second for myself before i call scott.

"Hey, what's up, Jasper?" he says.

"Maive's mixed up emails today. I need you to go through them and fix it," I mutter out.

"Of course. Hey, I finally met her today. She's just a ray of sunshine, isn't she?" he adds.

"Mhm, that she is. Anyway, I've got to go," I reply, hanging up.
