Boss With Benefits

2.

Jenny's POV

Out of all people in this room, why did I have to fall on him?

I want to to get away from him but it's really dark and I can't see anything. Soon enough, someone switches on the flashlight on their phone. Brandon grabs my shoulder and help me to stand up straight, then glares at me. I have the lights if my coworkers phones to thank for his vicious expression being directed at me.

I would've preferred the dark than his scrutiny. He looks pissed.

"I am so sorry!"

"I didn't mean to. I just wanted to-."

"Does it matter?"

"Huh"

"Sorry isn't going to fix this."

"I know but please, I really didn't do it on purpose."

There's some shuffling and Daniel comes towards me. I feel like dying from embarrassment.

"Sir, she is new here. Please cut her some slack."

"I have called the elections. This will be fixed in no time at all."

Aw, Daniel... I should thank him later. But, right now, I feel like ugly crying.

"Fine. Let's reschedule this meeting."

"Daniel, please do me a favor and teach a few things to Miss. Lockhart here."

Daniel give him a two finger salute, to which Brandon rolls his eyes.

"Sure thing, boss."

Okay wow, they seem...close, I mean I get that Daniel is playful and outgoing but who would have thought that Brandon... ugh, whatever. It's none of my business. It's not like he is on good terms with me or something.

And, I created such a huge mess in my first day. I am surprised they haven't fired me.

Daniel tap my shoulder.

"Come, it's lunch time."

"Oh, okay."

I carefully follow him out. He brings me to a café near the office building.

I am still pretty shaken from what happened earlier.

"Hey, don't think to much about it."

"But, it's- I must have created a really bad impression on everyone."

Daniel snorts, I give him a puzzled look.

"Jenny, everyone in the office know that Brandon us a perfectionist."

"And he thinks that others can match his standards easily."

"So, he puts everyone one through a lot of shit."

"It's nothing new for the employees to get flustered and mess things up."

"What really?! Everyone looked like experts..."

He starts laughing.

"You think so? Hm, then what about me?"

"Huh?"

"Do I look like an expert?"

"Of course, you do"

"Woah... you really know how to flatter me."

"No, it's just the truth. You look like you know what you're doing."

"And, you also manage to keep a calm head in any situation."
