I sit in my office and grab my pen on my desk and start to write a list of things I need to finish in the next hour before Jackson runs in and tells me about other tasks to do but I get off topic when I start thinking about his son, I google his name and a bunch of headlines pop up.

 "Justin Bieber and Model Hailey Baldwin have just broken up" and "Caught: Justin sleeping with another girl, Who was it?"

How did I not know Jackson had a son? and what was all this about?

Right when I was about to click out, a co-worker comes into my office"Jackson wants you in his office now" 

I immediately fix my skirt which was wrinkled from sitting and I walk over to his office to see Justin legs up on Jackson's desk while he sits in his seat and Jackson's eyes stiffly on him.

"This is why I say not to do stupid ass shit and get yourself in drama with women who clearly could end your whole career" Jackson shouts in such anger that I keep myself next to the door in silence.

"I ain't even pressed about it" Justin says with no regard" But i'm pressed that i'm here and not home cause you can't find someone to replace you" Justin adds taking out his cigarettes that were in his pocket almost about to light one up, his eyes come up to make eye contact with me.

I got butterflies immediately. 

"Who's this" Justin says still eyes on me, blinking once. 

"That's ur new assistant manager, she helps with almost everything" He informs him and he points to the seat that is by his desk "Sit Chantel"

"Of course she's ur assistant manager" He chuckles and sits up, letting his legs go down to the floor.


What's that suppose to mean?

Once I sit down I take out my hand to introduce myself but Justin does not take his hand out to shake mine so I decide to put it down in embarrassment. 

"Your ridiculous" Jackson says narrowing his eyebrows" Chantel you tell his stubborn ass what to fucking do, I can't be here right now you will drive me nuts"Jackson takes a huge sigh, grabs the sunglasses on his desk that he puts on every time he's about to leave" I'll talk to you later tonight Justin" and he walks out.

Justin slightly smirks and gets up.

"U-h S-so-" I try to start but I already know I sound stupid, Wow can I even talk.

"You don't got to tell me what to do" He finally says, his eyes looking up and down my body and all of a sudden I felt a bit of insecurity. "I know what I got to do and you do too"

I get up from my seat "O-okay it's just he has me do-"

"Don't talk about my dad" He grins and walks over to me, I took a big breathe "in fact, you can take a day off"

"I Don't think that's a good idea"

"I knew you were going to say that so Ima need you to listen carefully" He says moving a little closer to me"I am your boss now so what he says does not matter anymore so you can go home and come tomorrow and I will give you your new task because really the shit he has everyone doing here....it's not working out for the business" He smiles.

What a smile.

I just nod my head and walk out, taking the folders I have in my office and going to the elevator.

"Where do you think you are going?" Zac rushes over to me

"I got myself a day off" I smile and the elevator opens up

"What? Really? Does Justin know what he's doing?" Zac questions

"Speak to Justin about that" I say before the elevator closes and I go down to my car and get home to start working on my folder because even If it's my day off I still want to make sure that things our going alright in this company especially since I don't know what Justin has in store

Once I get home, I open up my laptop and start finishing the last four applications I needed to fill out for Jackson.

Zac calls me.

"Zac" I say

"I talked to the man and he's a bigger ass than Jackson"

"Really? What happened?" I question

"No I'm pissed he told me to work on the shit Jackson had you doing and make a bunch of phone calls" he says, hi voice sounding shaky like he was too angry to speak"Do I look like a fucking robot"

I give a small laugh" I can't believe he has you doing my work"

"the only thing that will only make this better is if you go out to eat with me tonight?"

I look at my folder and then look at the time, I knew he would have added this"I'll see I need to do these assignments"

"On ur day off? and plus he told me to do them so send it to me I got you" 

"Really? No- No-"

"Send it to me and I'll see you at 9" he hangs up.

It is now 7:06 and It looks like got a free schedule, for now, It's different. I like it.

I send it off and call my friend Elaine.
