Side by side

Jenny's P.O.V

I've been working at Shady Records for over two months now and things are still the same. Me and Marshall still don't get along and we only speak when it's really necessary, but my relationship with the rest of the camp is much better, Emily is so sweet and I've gotten to talk more with Nickle and Denaun.
My mom and Sam have moved and Sam has found a job. I drop Tyler off at my mom every morning because I still haven't found a nanny yet and since my mom haven't found a job yet then she can watch him. I find it so damn hard to find a nanny, mostly because I don't just trust everyone around my kid.

I'm sitting here once again buried in paperwork, it's like Marshall loves to give me extra work making sure that I stay in the office. I've looked at numbers all morning and I just need a break now, so I get up and walk out to the kitchen where Marshall of course is. I take a water in the fridge not even bothering to look at him and just when I'm about to leave, he opens his annoying mouth.

"Have you done the accountants on the Yelawolf project yet?" He asks me.

"No I'm still on it with you and Nickle's project." I say now looking at him to see him giving me a cold stare.

"I need it done by tomorrow." He says. Tomorrow?! Is he insane?! Maybe he should consider handing me the documents in time.

"But.. You need you and Nickle's project done by today?" I say. He just gave me the Yelawolf documents yesterday and it's gonna take a lot more than 48 hours to figure out the costs on this project.

"Yeah." He says coldly.

"Why didn't you say something yesterday?" I ask him and he just shrugs and leaves the kitchen. Is he serious? He can't behave like that! I'm so close to explode and normally I wouldn't let people treat me like this, but he's my boss and I have to act professionally. I hear Marshall walk into the studio so I walk out the common room, I hear the front door open so I look to my right to see Emily walk in.

"Hi." She says smiling.

"Hi." I say as I walk over and hug her.

"What's up?" Emily asks.

"Seriously Marshall is an asshole."

"How come?" She frowns.

"I'm working on his and Nickle's project which needs to be done by today. Last night he handed me the documents on the Yelawolf project and said nothing about that it needed to be done by tomorrow, now he just asked how far I was with the Yelawolf project and decided to tell me that it needed to be done by tomorrow." I tell her.

"Hopefully you told him to go fuck himself." Emily frowns.

"You know I can't."

"You can't let him walk all over you like that, you have to put him in his place." Emily says.

"No because if I don't act professional then I'll go all psycho bitch on his ass, there's no in between." I say.

"Then do it. He deserves it." She encourages me to.

"No, you know I won't." I say and walk towards my office but Emily just follows me.

"Why not? What's the worse thing that can happen?" She asks.

"He can fire me." I say and walk into my office.

"He can't fire you." Emily says which makes me turn around. He can't fire me? He's my boss so why can't he fire me?

"Excuse me?"

"It's not up to him but Jimmy and Jimmy won't fire you because you're good at your work." She says. It sounds like he's already tried.
