She didn't slept not even a minute, she was still mesmerized by being hired immediately as a assistant, normally people would try to impress their boss on their 1st day, but she isn't any normal person. She is Vera Freaking Farmiga and nobody tells her what to do, not even some tall handsome drink of Caramel. She smiles having that dirty thought on her mind.

Man: excuse me mam are you planning to at least get out? I still have more passengers to carry..
Vera: oh sorry.. here thanks

(She opens the door and got out, on her way to the hallway,her tummy rumbled she remembers not eating breakfast due to the thought of being late.. she stops by the receptionist desk)

Vera: hi, is there a nearest coffee shop here?
Bex: well you can make you own coffee right by the building's mini kitchen..
Vera: oh there's a kitchen? Hahaha sorry I'm new here..
Bex: I can tell.. you're the new assistant are you?
Vera: yeah that's me..
Bex: goodluck (she said sarcastically)
Vera: ok? Any advice?
Bex: don't be fooled by the charm.. what you see isn't what you seem..
Vera: what do you mean?
Bex: can't talk now.. the devil's here.. I'll see you later after lunch..
Vera: ok.. I'm Vera by the way..
Bex: Bex😊

Walking to the kitchen, she was melted by the scent of fresh vanilla roaming in the atmosphere.. she put her bag down and started to make her own cup.. as a girl who grew up in the kitchen she was as professional as a chef in both foods and drink

Vera: and for the finishing touch.. some sprink-- where'd my coffee go?

Turning around she saw him holding her cup.. taking huge sips

Vera: uhh sir that's my coffee
Patrick: I know, and it taste good
Vera: but I---
Patrick: bring me another when you enter my office

He starts to walk away with her cup

Patrick: like Now!

As fast as she could she whipped up another batch for him, forgetting her own.. walking inside his office, there he sat by the table with his phone plastered on his ear, signaling her to put the coffee by the table

Vera: I'll be outside sir..(she tiptoed walking away)

Before focusing back to his call, his eyes wandered on her backside, taking in the view he will be seeing more often from now on

Man: Mr. Wilson? Hello, are  you still there?
Patrick: uhh yeah.. sorry.. yes go on

Seeing the door shut, he felt an urge to miss her presence.. which was something new to him, he never felt something just like this before.. ending his call he went outside looking for her.. Bex by the desk told her that Vera was by the kitchen.. taking sprints towards it, he saw her sitting by the counter talking to some of his workers

Patrick: assistant!
Vera: yes sir?
Patrick: office now!

She stood up immediately following him in his office..

Patrick: sit

Grabbing a chair, she sat near his table, going through something in his drawer, he pulled out stacks of papers and books

Patrick: this is for you, I want you to read every part of this, memorize every line.. this is our company's handbook.. and this is my contract.. sign in the bottom

Picking up a pen she didn't even bother reading she just signed immediately afraid that it will irritate him if she takes longer

Patrick: good, now about some manners, you shall walk with me with posture and pen.. write everything and listen in what I say.. you mustn't be late and must wear appropriate clothes understood?
Vera: yes sir
Patrick: good.. tonight, I am having an important meeting with a future board of director of this company, I will need your presence there so you must at least memorize this tonight
Vera: tonight?
Patrick: you heard what I said.. wear something formal.. now you may go, I'm giving you time to read and analyze everything.. remember this deal is important to me
Vera: yes sir
