The Internship (Completed)

Chapter 4

5:38 pm I know you expect me to hold up my end of the deal, but I can't just guess when and where my bitches have to be. I may look out of this world, but I'm only human.

5:54 pm Send one of your people to my office. I'll have Michelle give them the location. It's the only way to make sure no one else picks up the information.

5:57 pm And put a sock in it, sleazeball. Stop fishing for compliments because you're not getting any.

6:01 pm You cut me deep, sweetheart. I'm just having a little fun.

6:02 pm But fine, I'll send someone over. But honestly, do you think this would work? I've seen some of your past attempts, and well... Here we are now.

6:17 pm I'm certain.

6:18 pm And question my decisions again and I'll make sure you'll regret it.

6:21 pm Touchy. But off the record, I hope you're right. I don't know what else you could do if this doesn't work.

6:33 pm Just do your job.

Kelly fidgeted with the cuffs of her new button down shirt. She stood in front of her full length mirror for the past half hour, studying her reflection, not sure if it was good enough.

She rolled down her sleeves before rolling it up again, adjusting the vest - thinking it was too tight but Kelly knew it was just right - Beyoncé had tailored for her.

Kelly grimaced at the thought of her boss. A huge part of her regretted what she did in the dressing room, knowing she was most likely going to get fired after tonight. But there was still a part of her that was smug, being able to reduce the ever composed Knowles to a sputtering, blushing mess.

But right now, the part of her that regretted it dominated. She was scared shitless.

Kelly let out a breath, "It's fine, Kelly. Everything will be fine."

She heard wheels crunching gravel outside her window and she knew that her ride had arrived. With a quick glance down, Kelly saw a familiar supercar idling on her driveway.

I am so screwed, Kelly took in deep breaths in hopes to calm her racing heart.

Kelly inspected her reflection once again for anything out of place. She ran her hand across her hair. Come to think of it, she looked pretty good. She smirked at herself smugly before heading out.

But the moment Kelly went through her front door, all that confidence she had earlier crumbled and she found herself struggling to breathe as she approached the car.

The effort Kelly went through all week would be useless and her dream of getting a good reputation would never happen; all because she got cocky with the wrong person. Kelly fought the urge to smack herself and had to physically restrain herself from running back into her home to hide under the covers and never come out again.

Kelly entered the car without saying a word, because what could she possibly say? Oh hey Knowles, sorry about jumping your bones this morning! Well not really, since you kinda did deserve it. And now we're even! I'd like to keep my job, thanks. What did you have for lunch?

Yeah, that wasn't going to work. So Kelly avoided eye contact and put as much space between them, bracing herself for the other woman's wrath.

But to Kelly's surprise, Knowles remained silent as she drove; not acknowledging the intern's presence as she stared at the road ahead.
