My Secrets (Jim Halpert love story)

The Transfering part and the meet and greet

Emily's POV

Saturday afternoon

David Wallace thought it would be an amazing idea to transfer me from the New York office to the Scranton office to try and help boost their sales, great idea... now I've moved into a new apartment, in a new city, where I know absolutely no one.
I arrived to my new apartment in the evening, none of my furniture has arrived and won't until tomorrow morning so it looks like I'm in a hotel room tonight. I'm not from around here so it'll take me a while to get used to this place. I've lived away from my family for 6 years now, I was born in the UK and moved to start a sales programme with Dunder Mifflin when I turned 20, definitely should've gone to Apple or Google but no, I came here.

Monday morning 7 am

Today was my first day at the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch. I'm still clueless as to why I was transferred here but it's money so I'm not complaining too much. I dragged myself out of bed and god ready for the day and put on a navy pencil skirt which stops just above my knees, an ironed white blouse and a pair of navy kitten heels. I waved my somewhat long brown with my straighteners and applied some light makeup. I head out the door around 8 am hoping to grab some coffee on the way.
I stop at a local coffee shop and picked up a coffee to-go.
I finally arrive at a bland looking building I'd be spending the rest of my working life at, well hopefully not. I parked my small car into the car park and headed into the building. I looked on the wall and saw that Dunder Mifflin was on the second floor. I hoped into the elevator and pressed the 2 symbol.
"Hey! Hold the door" a mans voice called out
Out of politeness I held the door for the mysterious stranger and I was treated with a gorgeous brunette man with captivating green eyes. I tried my hardest not to stare at him so I just smiled back at him.

"Jim" the mysterious man finally spoke
He put out his hand for me to shake.

"Emily" I extended my arm out to shake his hand.

"You're clearly not from around here" Jim chuckled.

"Ah guilty, I'm from the UK" I responded

"Ah I see, sorry our tea and crumpets aren't up to standard" he replied.

I let out a laugh and the then elevator comes to a jolt and the doors open and Jim allows me to leave the lift first like a gentleman. I opened the door which read "DUNDER MIFFLIN" and I was greeted with a red haired receptionist.

"Hello, I'm Erin. Welcome to Dunder Mifflin"

"Hi I'm Emily, I'm wondering if there is a Michael Scott around"

Jim now took his place at his desk next to some beige looking man. It is comforting to know that he works here too.

"Why hello there hot stuffff who might you be?" the man who I'm assuming to be my new boss spoke in a very weird accent.

"This is Emily the new sales woman" the kind receptionist Erin spoke up to ease the tension.

"Ahhh yessss of course, please follow me" he ushered me about two steps forward towards Jim and he pointed down to an empty desk next to him.

"This hot stuff is where you will be stationed during your time here at Dunder Mifflin" Michael said

I was cringed at his pet names for me, but I've heard worse so I brushed it off. I placed my bag and coffee down at my desk and was about to take my seat when my new boss said.

" Let me give you the grand tour and allow you to meet the fabulous team here"

I then stood back up from the chair and followed him.

"This is Jim the most attractive, tallest and amazing sales man in the company" Michael said as he gestured towards Jim,

"Oh please, Jim the best sales man? I think not" The man sitting next to Jim interjected

Finally Jim spoke up "me and the new sales woman here actually met before we got here, in the elevator"

"Oooo getting the freak on in the elevator,dirty Halpert" said Michael

"Umm no, sorry to disappoint we just got aquatinted with each other that's all" I protested.

"Oh wow you're British?? Now you've just made yourself even sexier" Micheal announced.

You could see the visible cringe on my face and on Jim's. He mouthed the words "miss international" to me and I chuckled.
Secondly we went over to the weird guys desk opposite mine. The strange guy spoke
"Hello Emily, I'm assistant regional manage-"

"Assistant TO the regional manger Dwight!!" Michael interjected

"Nice to meet you Dwight" I shook his hand.

We then made our way over to a cluster of desks with three people sat around them.
"This is the gorgeous Phylis, you'll smell her from a mile away, whether she has a new perfume or she has just eaten something eggy" Michael the manager piped up. I gave him a strange look after that rude comment he made and then gave a warm smile to Phyllis.
"Hello dear, I hope you like it here" the kind lady with the name of Phylis spoke.

I politely smiled back at the kind woman. Then another strange guy interjected and spoke

"I'm the Nard-dog but most people just call me Andy"

"Cool nickname Andy" I said through a smile.

Then I met Stanley who just grunted. Creed who had no idea what was going on. Meredith who already wants to take me for a drink. Kevin just giggled. Oscar seems like a nice guy. I told Angela I have a cat and she likes me. Then we went into the annex where two people were making out and I learnt that that was Kelly and Ryan and Michael didn't let me meet the other guy because Michael hates him and I learnt that his name is Toby and he seems lovely. I met Erin at reception upon my arrival. Oh and also Darryl who seemed chill and a good guy.

I think I could learn to like it here.

JIMS POV

"What do I think of the new girl?" I repeated the question the camera crew asked me.
"I think she's great, from what I know she's very polite, but you'd expect that from British people and she seems like great fun" I beamed at the camera.
