Michael sat at his desk with authority early one Monday morning. He checked his gold watch as it was only 8am and nobody is here yet. His fingers tapped against his black ebony desk and his eyebrows raised as soon as he saw the silhouette of a familiar person in the doorway. He rolled his eyes far up his head as soon as the person turned the knob
"Big brother! It's great to see you again!" His sister Janet said, coming in with a smug smile. He eyed her as she set a stack of papers on his desk. "Your secretary told me to bring these up for you. You're welcome." She adds
"Janet what do you want? I'm busy." Michael sighed and she laughed, "Yeah okay. Anyway, how's your business going?" She asks and he glanced up at her, "Would be doing better if you didn't compete with my organization at this time."
She scoffs. "Nah Mike you just wont admit that the Janet Towers are better than your 'Jackson Towers'" she mocks and he scoffed back at her as he stack up the papers and licked his finger, beginning to proofread them
"So I heard you hired another one huh?" She asks, fiddling with the fake plants beside his desk and he shrugged, "And if I did?"
"Lemme guess, you fired Rivera right?"
He stopped looking through the papers and squinted at her, "How'd you know?"
"Y'all be fucking on the low. You thought I didn't know?" She laughs as he rolled his eyes at her and as soon as he turned his head towards his drawers to grab a paper clip, she saw the dark red hickey on his neck and she gasps with a grin
"You did it with the new girl didn't you?" She asks and he paused and followed her stare before covering his neck with his button up underneath his suit, "You can go now Janet."
She tsks, "My big brother; doesn't know how to keep that dinga ling to himself." She sighs blissfully, "Well done Mike."
"Shut up." He grunts and she just laughs at him again, "So who's the naughty little girl you did it this with huh? Is she pretty?"
"Fine as hell" he thought
"No comment." He said
As soon as she was about to continue her accusations, the door opens again and in came Destiny—juggling paperwork and a cup of coffee in her hands as she kicks the door closed
"Destiny you're late." Michael scolds her as she flashes that notorious nervous smile again, "Sorry Mr. Jackson I woke up late because I didn't set my alarm last night-"
