“Benson! Come to my office! NOW!” a loud booming voice yelled out from behind a large wooden door.
Chloe snickered behind her hand as she watched the other personal assistant make his way to their bosses office. When Benson turned to glare at Chloe she just smiled and turned back to her computer.
Taking a deep breath, Chloe pushed her pin straight auburn hair behind her ear and continued typing up the letter she had started. Double checking that all her information was correct she pressed print and stood to wait by the office printer.
Standing, Chloe stood a generous 5’6” with an athletic body. Her crystal blue eyes stood out in contrast with her dark red auburn hair. Today she wore a simple knee length black skirt, a white blouse and black flats.
Making her way over to the printer, Chloe took a look around the office. Only Benson, Chloe and their boss Mr. Jamieson worked this high up. Chloe was employed at a high end bio-engineering company called Bio-Gen. She had been working as Mr. Jamieson’s personal assistant for a little over 3 years now.
Before that she had just been a general receptionist on one of the lower floors. It had been Mr. Jamison himself who had come down and given her the promotion. Because of that, Chloe was devoted to being the best personal assistant she could be and not disappointing Mr. Jamieson.
The only other person in the office was John Benson. Benson had been there a little longer then Chloe and didn’t like the fact that he was now second fiddle. It wasn't Chloe’s fault that Mr. Jamison appreciated her work ethic more than Benson’s. Or that Benson couldn’t seem to remember the tiniest detail.
Chloe chuckled under her breath as she picked the printed letter up off the printer. Reading it over quickly she made her way back to her desk. The letter was depicting the progress and prospects of a project that Bio-Gen was currently working on.
Being so high up in the company Chloe was given almost total access to all of Bio-Gen’s projects and programs. Every once in a while though there would be a project that Chloe wasn’t allowed to know about. Total top secret sort of thing.
There was one such project going on right now down in one of the labs. Project Code. Chloe had to admit it was one of the lamest project names that she had ever heard of. No matter what the name was though, Project Code was as top secret as anything that they did at the company. From what she knew, only a handful of people were allowed to know any of the details.
Not knowing didn’t bother Chloe that much. Some of the projects she didn’t really want to know about. The projects didn’t always have a happy ending. People did die and that was one phone call Chloe was never happy to make.
The door behind her desk opened and out walked Benson with a scowl on his face. “Aw what’s wrong now Benson?”
Benson turned and glared at Chloe. He was the type of guy that could get any girl he wanted. Black hair that he kept a little longer, bright green eyes and a muscular 6’3”, he was easy on the eyes. And then you’d start talking to him and find out that his looks went right to his head. Arrogant, rude and chauvinistic were just the start of the words that described him.
“For your information McCloud, nothing’s wrong. Mr. Jamieson just wants me to go do another drug test as the last one came out a little wonky. Now if you think you can handle the office by yourself for a few minutes I’m going to go down to the lab and get it done now.” He said before storming out of the main door.
