Ms Jenner

Kendall's POV

I didn't want to have to be so harsh to y/n, but it had to be done even though I had these feelings for her. I was her boss, and she'd broken my rules so I had to do something about it. She uncovered her eyes and looked at the picture of her and Max kissing in his office, and I looked at her accusingly.

"It's not what it looks like" she said and I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe she was lying, there was literally a picture of her doing thing that I was accusing her of, which made me even more angry.

"Then what is it?"

"I don't know, it's just the angle that makes it look bad" she protested "I was sad and I went to him and his beanbag was gone so I sat on his knee instead, I just needed a friend"

She needed a friend. Maybe I would have been more forgiving about her saying that if my wife hadn't said that about the men she was sleeping with behind my back. This whole situation was bringing back the exact same feelings and I was really hurt by her lying to me. I thought that what we had was something different, but it wasn't to her. "That's bullshit" I scoffed

"No it's not!" She suddenly exclaimed

"Don't raise your voice at me!" I snapped "I don't know why I waste my time on speaking to you, you're a lying bitch with a pretty face"

"And you're an asshole!" She said and stormed out. I watched her go and tapped my pen on the table and wondered what I should do about what she'd just said and done. I decided to just let her go and calm down, but if she wasn't back before 11, I'd give her another talking to. That was all she generally needed, an explanation that I won't tolerate a certain behaviour and that would be enough to set her straight, but I felt like today she'd need more convincing to come around again. She came back a while later and glanced at me every once in a while, but I was good at pretending not to notice so I carried on doing work while she tried to find more reason to be mad at me.

When it was time for her to give me the paperwork, she slapped it down onto my desk, and I decided that was enough "thank you, y/n, for the lovely way you just gave me my paperwork"

"Thanks for accusing me of being a slut" she spat

"You made out with Max, it's not my fault" I shrugged and she rolled her eyes and left to go back to her office. I decided to settle this once and for all, and went to find Max to find out the whole truth. When I found his cubicle, he turned around and frowned at me.

"Hello Ms Jenner" he said

"Hello Max, could you put whatever you're doing on hold for now please?"

"Of course"

"How's the promotion?"

"It's brilliant, thank you so much for that" he beamed

"You're welcome" I said "so I saw that picture of you and y/n that someone from this department must have taken and sent around and I was wondering how you were coping"

"It was a bad angle, wasn't it?" He laughed like the idea of them kissing was the stupidest thing in the world and I wondered whether he was an amazing actor or if he was genuinely amused by the idea

"Could you give me your take on it?" I pushed for an answer to a question I hadn't directly asked.

"Ok... she was upset and my beanbag wasn't here for her to sit on because Mr Jackson wouldn't let me have it anymore, and she was about to cry and she wanted somewhere to sit but I had to keep working so she sat on my lap. It's never been anything sexual, she's just a cuddly person I guess" he shrugged
