GamerGirl Chapter 20 Detective Alexis

Alexis' POV

I entered my office and closed the door. I sat down and grabbed my phone that was charging next to my computer.

I created a new message and texted Bailey.

A: Hey, Bailey, can you video chat real quick?

I stared at my phone for a sec, and still no response.

I put it down on my desk.

As I awaited a reply, I scanned my room.

I looked at all the shit people sent me since I started editing for the guys, and it hasn't even been that long.

They've sent me drawings, tiny sculptures, and even t-shirts with me and the boys!

I heard my phone ring.

B: I can't right now, working, maybe later tonight though

A: Okay

Of course she was working.

I decided to grab a cup of tea from the kitchen before I went to edit more videos. Tea always seemed to calm me down.

After I grabbed some tea, I went back to the Hat Films office to see if Chris had emailed me any videos.

I opened the door.

"There's Miss Detective Alexis!"

"That's new, Alex." I smirked.

"You know me, always trying new things."

"Really? What's that supposed to mean?"

"You'll see." He smirked back at me.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Anyways, Chris, is there anything you sent me? I need to check if it's actually worth checking my email."

"Uh, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's just a Hat Pack and a Hat Corp recording. I think that's all though."

"Alright, cool, see ya guys. Love you Smith."

"Who doesn't?" Smith said in a sarcastic tone.

I smiled and said, "TROTT. OOOHHH!"

Chris and Ross, mainly Chris though, joined me in my joke.

"Wow, nice. Love you too though, seriously."

"Who doesn't?" I said, obviously mocking him.

I exited the room and continued to my office.

*__________*

After I finished editing the videos, I went to take the mug I used for tea back to the kitchen.

I find Kim in there.

"Hiya, Kim!" I smiled at her.

"Oh, hey, Alexis!" She smiles back at me.

"What are you up to?"

"Just, getting some tea, the usual. What about you?" She starts to stir her tea up with a spoon.

"Helping some friends with life."

"Oh boy, sounds like fun."

"Yeah, lots of it," I say, pursing my lips and widening my eyes.

I eventually put my mug in the sink.

"Are they close friends?"

"Yes, yes, very close."

"If you don't mind me asking, why do they need help with life?"

"Uh, money and relationships."

"Oh, even more fun," she said laughing.

"Yeah, I don't know what I would do without other people's problems," I said, my voice filled with sarcasm.

Kim laughed as she took a sip of tea.

"I'm just so confused, Kim," I stated.

"I can't help ya' if I don't know what's going on, Lex."

"Well, you know how Bailey and Ross broke up?"

"Yeah, of course."

"I found out from Bailey why that was."

"And?"

"Long story short, she's working her ass off for money and doesn't wanna seem like she's ignoring Ross."

"Why does she need all the money?" She lifted an eyebrow.

"That's what I'm gonna figure out tonight when we video chat. I just don't see why she needs money, it boggles my mind," I said, lifting my hands up beside my head.

"Mine too."

"Anyways, thanks for listening to my little rant. I gotta go see what the sirs are doing."

"Yup, see ya tomorrow!"

I exit the small kitchen and walk back towards the twats' office.

Only Ross is in there.

"Oh, hey Ross."

He smiled, not too strong though, when he saw me.

"Hey, Lex."

"Where are the other two dipshits?"

"They're talking to Sparkles* about recording something."

"Oh. Is everyone done after that?"

"Uh, maybe? I think Trott wanted to finish a thumbnail."

"Do you have an idea of how long they're gonna be?"

"Knowing them, they'll probably go off about something that isn't even relevant to the question at hand, so maybe a little while."

"Okay, thanks, I'll call Smiffy."

"If he answers."

"Right, if he answers."

"Are you doing anything important right now?"

"No, why?"

"Can I call him in here?"

"Yeah, yeah, of course."

I take out my phone and open contacts. I press Smith's contact name, which is Sir Smiffy, and select call.

There are several rings before he answers.

"Hello?"

"Yo, where ya' at?"

"We're with Sparkles* at the moment."

"How much longer are ya' gonna' be?"

"No clue, shouldn't be long though."

"Okay, well, when you're done sucking each other's assholes, me and Ross will be waiting in the office."

Smith laughed, and I heard some laughter in the background. It must've been Chris or Tom.

"Alright, hot stuff, we'll see ya' there." I could still hear the smile in his voice from laughing.
