You guys are awesome and I thank you for you're words of encouragement!
Here's a break down of how much August gets paid:
She's paid $21 an hour for thirteen hours a day, with a paid break every four hours.
$21 • 13 hours a day = $273 a day
$273 • 6 days a week = $1,638
$1,638 • 4 weeks = $6,552 (before tax)
August is given a $4,000 allowance each month for transportation needs (gas, car repair etc.), wardrobe malfunctions, lunch, client emergencies and Alec's needs (dry cleaning, food etc.)
$6,552 + $4,000 = $10,000 a month (before tax)
A lot of stories don't break things down for the reader so I hope this helps putting into prospective of how much a PA can make. They can make more or less depending on who they work for and their requirements.

A hum escaped Augusts' lips when the pancake covered in syrup touched her tongue. August hadn't realized how hungry she was until now. "Good, isn't it? I'm not the best chef but I love adding a spin on boxed food" Alec cut a piece of his pancake off, scooping up a glob of whipped cream and berries before slipping it in his mouth. "What did you do to it?" August asked after she had swallowed.
"I substituted the water for milk and added eggs. I also drizzled a little syrup into the mix to make it sweet" he answered. "Well it's good, really good" August finished in record time and helped clean up the mess Alec had made. She put the ingredients back into the fridge, wiped the counters down and cleaned the dirty dishes before grabbing Alec's plate once he was finished.
"I told you I'd clean" he complained, stopping Augusts' hand. "I already did most of it, one more plate isn't going to hurt" she argued. Lately it seemed Alec was getting more demanding outside of work hours, like an hour ago when he stopped her from working and demanded that she stayed the night. It was dark out but she could handle driving in the dark, plus she loved her car. After months of paying for it, she was done. The paychecks she received each month was enough to help her pay off her car note and any other bills she had within a matter of a handful of months. She enjoyed the stress free nights she spent in bed, binge watching The 100 off of Netflix she was able to afford.
"I've got it" Alec stood up, his chair sliding against the wooden floor. "Go and get ready for bed, the third bedroom to your left will have female clothes in it ranging in size" he bumped his shoulder against hers, jolting his head in the direction of the first hall.
August looked down the hall he nugged her in the direction of and pursed her lips "okay but before I go to bed" August stopped to pick up her laptop, purse and laptop charger "you have an emergency appointment tomorrow with Mrs. Evelyn Ramirez at nine a.m in the morning" Alec sighed and rubbed his temples.
"Damn this old women" he muttered to himself "I'm tired of her and her stupid 'emergency' meetings. Can you do me a favor and message Rumbis for me, tell him I need him to draw up Mrs. Ramirez's company contract. I'm thinking of dropping her" August have a court nod before making her way to her temporary room.
When August reached an empty room she quickly stripped of her pants and lifted the ruby red covers that were neatly spread across the bed. August climbed in and placed her laptop on her lap before opening it and signing in. She quickly wrote up a email to Rumbis and sent it hoping for a reply in the morning when she woke up.
It didn't long for August to fall asleep and she welcomed it with open arms. She found she liked working for Alec, it was an easy job and after she had found her pace her days became easier and passed by quicker. August liked it, Alec was a nice person to work with. Sure he had his moment, tantrums came almost once a week but for the most part he was well put together and liked to keep to himself. He ate by himself at lunch unless he had a business lunch and he stayed after to go over financials with Louis, the head of the financials department.

When morning came August was ready for the day. She woke up at 5am and quickly dressed in her clothes from yesterday before heading downstairs to grab an apple for breakfast and head out to her apartment. Alec was still asleep so August decided to leave him a note as she said goodbye to Mrs. Lopez, a fifty four year old lady who's worked for Alec for twenty five years. She was one of the sweetest maids that cleaned the house and she loved it when August came to visit because she wanted to test her new dessert recipes with August.
"I'll see you tonight Mrs. Lopez" August said as she hugged the lady. "Have a safe drive back home dear!" She whispered into August's ear.
August headed back home after slipping into the front seat of the car. Lucky for August, Alec liked solitude so the neighborhood he lived in was barely a neighborhood. Houses spread out far enough so that you could barely see your neighbors and Alec's house lead up a winding road he called a driveway. Unlucky for August because of Alec's solitude his house went far back into the city and it took at least an hour to get too and from the city, not to mention the extra thirty minutes to an hour to get from the outer parts of the city to Augusts' apartment. She did make it to her house in record time, an hour and a half, and was able to take a shower before getting dressed in a classic red jumpsuit. Red and black clothes weren't Augusts' favorite but she had to admit that she did look good in the jumpsuit.
"AUGUST!" August pulled her phone away from her ear at the sound of Lucy's screech. "Whaaaat?" August drawled out. Despite being polar opposites, August and Lucy have connected on a much more. . . .intimate level. "There's a late New Years party coming up, do you want to go with me? I want to get drunk off my ass and I need a designated driver" Lucy giggled.
August finished applying her matte red lipstick and grabbed her red sling over purse. "Hmm" she thought "can I think about it? I don't want to be up late because of work" she explained.
Lucy huffed but muttered a "fine" nonetheless and they spent the next ten minutes of August driving talking about work before August had to go. She had arrived at S.T.A.R Corp and was currently parking her car when a knock came from her driver seat window. "Timothy!" August exclaimed unbuckling her seatbelt as fast as she could.
Timothy Greene, a thirty one year old black haired blue eyed god. He stood at 6'0, wearing a classic black and white suite with his ever so charming smile lighting up the already bright outdoors.
"August!" He exclaimed just as bright.
