A/n: a little bit of boring plot, don't worry, yall are gonna get some action later

It's been about a month since Kamala had been elected as president of the united states, she was cheered upon by many due to her extraordinary speeches that had brought citizens to realize that she might be the one to change the ways of the country and to make it a much better place for everyone

today was like any other, she was sat in her office, checking through the many documents she had to confirm and sign by the end of the day and by her best efforts she had always done so rather efficiently

in a few moments of silence, there was nothing to be heard then the gentle sound of her pen grazing against the paper and her thoughts, before there was a gentle knock on the door

"Come in" She spoke, slighlty muffled from the other side of the door

Lucy Espinoza, her personal bodyguard, whom was responsible for her safety within the 12 hours of the day that she had spent in the office and during all of her whereabouts, also delivering news to her about the affairs of the people
Lucy enters the room and stood by the door, she had her rifle clung to her side and was dressed in her usual full black kevlar armor, everything except a helm

"Mrs.Harris, Dr.Wesker would like to speak with you" the bodyguard spoke in a monotone manner

"Send him in"

Lucy stepped aside allowing the man to enter the room, his assistant stepping in behind him, helping him remove his hat and coat as he nodded towards kamala in an act of gratitude

Kamala returned the gesture and motioned for the man to take a seat as they spoke of their concerns

by the end of the confrontation, the man left the office as Kamala's assistant entered and spoke of her schedule

few minutes later the assistant left, kamala following behind, she stopped in her tracks as she reached the door and turned to lucy whom stood beside the door

"I have a conference meeting in a few minutes, I expect your presence, can I count on that?"

"Yes, Mrs. Harris" lucy nods as she followed kamala to the elevator, they stepped in and hit the buttons to the garage

lucy stood beside her, fidgeting with her hands, she stood bracing her back up against the elevator, hoping to be out as soon as possible

Kamala on the other hand was very well put together but had still noticed lucy's fidgeting

"claustrophobic?"

"Not at all"

"I don't like persons with egos above their height, it wouldn't bother me if you are but it bothers me that you're lying about it"

as much as the statement had taken a toll on lucy, considering she was always a few inches shorter then kamala, she remained composed and replied

"..Yes, I am"

"much better"

they both stepped out the elevator and made their way into the parking lot, kamala handed over her car keys to lucy and made her way to the car

Lucy opens the door for her and closes it as she enters, making her way around to the driver seat

the car ride to the building where the conference was held, was rather silent until kamala spoke

"I don't think we had ever spoken properly since I hired you, tell me a bit about yourself" her inquire sounded more of a command then a request

"well, uhm what would you like to know?"

"whatever you're comfortable sharing, you've been quite the silhouette of a subordinate, I haven't heard much of you since you've arrived"

"Okay well, I was an assistant to Mr. Wesker before I started working for you, though we have no personal connection whatsoever"

"Mhmm?, I wouldn't see the need to mention that last part unless there were assumptions of such already, no?" kamala spoke in a rather playful manner

"what did you hear?" Lucy raised a brow

"Only that he's slept with multiple of his assistants over the years, sure you haven't been a part of that?"

"I can promise, I'm not interested"

"Oh? are you saying what I think you are?" a playful smirk lingering on kamala's lips

"possibly"

"elaborate, I at least need to hear you say it before I make any assumptions, no?"

Lucy sighs "Yes, I'm not attracted to men, I will not elaborate any further"

"Ah, understood"

they both soon arrived at the building, lucy pulls over in the parking lot and and went around to open the door of the passenger seat for kamala

as they both stepped out, their demeanor completely changes into one that of professionalism, lucy followed a step behind of kamala, holding her rifle to her side while they walked into the building

they both made their way to the conference room where there were already multiple members of staff awaiting her presence

the moment she stepped into the room, the light muttering amongst the crowd had died down as they all stood and greeted her

she made her way to the end of the table and took a seat as the members of the conference followed in her actions

she spoke her greetings and the gestures were subtly returned by the staff whom never dared to say a word unless they were asked a question or given on opportunity to speak

as the meeting went on, lucy stood beside kamala the for the most part while they spoke, for hours and hours, lucy was lost in thought, completely unfocused on the confrontation and small acts of displeasure being displayed by the members of the meetings

soon after which kamala gave instructions to the members to think amongst themselves and to possibly give some solutions to their current financial crisis, small mutters were heard across the room as kamala sat back, taking a sip from a bottle of water and listening in to what particular members had to say about the current situation.
