PERFECTLY CRIMINAL
—Chapter Three—
Hellish
I was horrified. I could barely make a step in the room without standing on something. The room was filled and stacked with boxed filled with files. They littered the floors and the desk and even on the chair.
As for the room itself, it was half the size of His office and was plain just as the rest of the building. I didn't even know where to begin.
The computer made a noise as I awkwardly stepped in the minimal free spaces towards the computer. There was an email. Four actually. The first was the dates. The second was the meetings and the third was another task:

"Xavier? Can I ask you something?" Xavier looked at me as though deciding whether to make a run for it or not.
"One question." He warned.
"what is your job?"
"I'm employed to protect him." Xavier said before turning around one last time. "Don't take this the wrong way. I still don't like you. But you should know the files are already organised inside the boxes. All you need to do is rearrange the order of the boxes and put them in the room next to you."
