"You're home early" Stassie comments as I walk through the front door, setting down my bag.
"Yeah I actually have some news" I smile.
I walk into the living room where she was relaxing on the couch in her favorite blue pajamas. She really is living her best life.
"I took the job at Holland enterprises" I say and her mouth drops.
"No way!" She squeals, hugging me.
"Yeah I went there today and he hired me on the spot" I shrug.
"You met Tom Holland? Is he even hotter in person?" She asks, practically drooling.
"I'm not answering that question" I laugh.
"Ooo your new boss is a hottie!" She giggles.
"I'm not answering it because it's weird, but no. He's not." I say. "But there's this other guy there, Hayden, he's absolutely gorgeous."
"Ooo did you talk to him?" She asks.
"Barely, Haz was real quick to shut it down" I frown.
"What about the green eyed babe from your work?" She asks, wiggling her brows at me.
"Garrett? I don't know.. nothing really happened because we work together." I shrug.
"Well you won't be soon" she comments and I laugh.
"Yeah we'll see" I say.
___
If I was scared to go in to work any day, today is the day. Having to tell my boss I'm putting in my two weeks is stressful to say the least. I know he will make these next two weeks as hard as he possibly can, making me miserable.
I straighten out my deep purple pencil skirt before knocking on the main office door. His eyes shoot up to mine, before waving for me to step inside.
"Hi Mr. Teagan, have a second to talk?" I ask.
"Yeah make it quick" he says rudely and I take a seat.
"I have found myself a job at Holland Enterprises and I'm putting in my two weeks" I say.
"Scuse' me?" He says with such an attitude my eyes double in size.
"I said I'm putting in my two weeks." I repeat, a more firm tone.
"You've got to be kidding" he laughs under his breath.
"No sir I'm not" I say, pressing his last nerve.
He looks up at me, and with a shake of his head he pulls out a paper.
"I'm going to sign this, you'll be done today." He says.
"Today? I said I'd put in my two-"
"You'll be done today. You're excused." He says and I simply get up from my seat, and leave the office.
Jesus Christ he was pissed.. Guess I'm unemployed for the next two weeks.
"What happened in there? He looks angry." Garrett says as I pass his cubical.
"I put in my two weeks, but turns out he wants me gone today" I laugh at my bosses immaturity.
"You're leaving?" He almost pouts.
"Yeah I got a job with my friend" I say.
"With Tom Holland?" He asks, eyes big with excitement.
"Yeah" I nod.
"Congratulations!" He says. His smile beaming, causing me to feel a little flustered.
"Thanks" I smile. "I better get back to my office. I need to pack all my stuff"
I wave and walk back down the hallway to my grey gloomy room, sending Haz a text that I want to meet up with him.
Haz: come by for lunch, Greta will let you straight up :)
Greta must be the lady who runs their front desk.
I finish getting all my things, and sit back in my chair, spinning in circles till I'm a dizzy mess. I could work a bit but who cares now? I'm practically just wasting the day away and it's fantastic.
It reaches noon quickly and I step out of my office, leaving the key on the desk. No emotional goodbye, I fucking hated this place.
I walk outside and open my trunk, placing the box of my crap in and shutting it. I get in the car and drive to my new workplace, excitement building in me to have this opportunity.
As I pull up to the large building, it almost feels like my normal already. The people I've met so far are kind and inviting, the offices are bright and cheery, I'm going to love it here.
I walk through the front door and Greta gives me a smile.
"Good afternoon Mrs. Daniels." She says.
"You can call me Amelia" I say and she nods.
"You can go on back, Amelia" she says, testing my name.
"Thank you"
I walk back and go to the top floor. I overwork my brain to remember which office is Harrisons. Shit.. was it to the right or left? I can't remember anything..
"Lost?" I hear and jump, turning towards the voice.
"Sorry.. didn't mean to scare you" Hayden laughs. The crinkles by his grey eyes appearing as he smiles.
"I am very lost.." I laugh along with him. "Haz's office?"
"Right this way" he says, pointing to the right, walking by my side. "So how do you know Mr. Osterfield?"
"Oh well, we've been friends for as long as I can remember" I shrug. "Went to business college together too."
"Where'd you study?" He asks.
"LBS" I say.
"Nice, I went to imperial" he says. "Here it is"
We reach Haz's office and I shoot the tall man a smile.
"Thanks" I say.
"No problem. If you ever need anything, my office is the last one down here" he points to the end of the hallway.
"Alright, I'll see you-"
"Hey there Lia, come on in" Haz rudely interrupts and I shoot him a slight death glare.
"See you around" Hayden says quickly, walking away.
I step into the office and Haz closes the door behind him.
"Wow you're such a cock block" I groan, slumping down into his big comfy couch.
"I already told you no!" He points his finger at me and I roll my eyes.
"Asshole" I roll my eyes.
"Bitch" he says.
I love our friendship.
"So I'm out of work for two weeks" I say.
"What? But I thought-"
"Nope. He was immature and said he wanted me gone today" I inform him.
"Well you could always start here sooner" he shrugs, sitting down on his desk.
"Really?" I ask.
"Yeah" he nods. "We can use all the help we can get"
"That would be great" I smile.
"We need to celebrate" he says, hopping off his desk, walking around to the back of it. I watch as he opens the drawer, reaching far in the back.
"Okay.. you have a problem" I say as he pulls a bottle of vodka from the drawer, a goofy smile plastered on his face.
"What? We're celebrating!" He says.
"You are working" I scold.
"Not for the next" he checks his watch, counting to the very last minuet. "47 minuets"
"Fine. One shot." I giggle.
There's a knock on the door and it swings open before Haz can invite whoever it is in.
"I need these papers done by tonight" Tom says, flipping through the pages as he walks in.
His brown eyes lift, scanning the room and finding mine. He shoots me a small smile, handing Haz the papers.
"Mate are you serious?" He groans, picking up the bottle of vodka sitting on the desk.
"It was Amelia's idea" Haz says plainly and my mouth drops.
"I highly doubt that." Tom says.
He opens the bottle, putting it to his lips and drinking some, handing the bottle back to Haz.
"You saw nothing" he says.
"Oh yes I did" Haz gets a devilish smile on his face. I laugh, their friendship is so cute. You can tell they're really close. That they're friends before co workers.
"So listen to this" Haz starts. "This dumb bitch thinks Hayden is worth fucking"
My cheeks instantly go red, is he seriously telling my new boss that I want to fuck my new co worker?! Well, looks like I'm starting off on the wrong foot..
"Hayden? Really?" Tom laughs.
"Jesus Christ Haz, can't anything stay between you and I?" I groan, hiding my face in my hands.
"Hayden isn't a one night stand kind of guy" Tom says. "His last relationship was like.. over a year long"
"Well don't tell her that! Now she's going to like him even more!" Haz throws his hands up at Tom.
"Hey you want a one night stand, Haz can give you my number" Tom winks jokingly, moving to leave the room.
"I'll fucking kill you" Haz calls.
"It was a joke" Tom calls back, leaving the room.
