Please don't think I had anything to do with that decision. Trust me on that! Please try to keep your claws in, during working ours." Shayne smirked as he handed me a file of paperwork with sticky notes. He wrote directions on the outside like I was a kindergartener. "Oh, by the way, your new desk will be outside of my office tomorrow. I'll see you in the morning, Miss Harlow." He moved his thick brown eyebrows up and down. He had the nerve to grin from ear to ear with his arms folded, as he stood before me. I was exasperated with him already. "I have until the end of the day, to decide if I am willing to be your assistant." I snapped at him with an extra smug and cold expression on my face. He leaned over my desk close to my face, with his steel grey eyes. Up close, I saw hints of blue in them. "I have no doubt, that you will be sitting at your desk tomorrow working for Shayne Carrington." He stated a little too sure of himself. I can't do it! Who speaks in third person about themselves?
