Shorts

Part 2

Ms. LeClerc's POV

I was pacing around my office while reading/ answering my emails. My door was thrown open, prompting me to look up. Lando then loudly slammed the door closed. He's lucky that not many employees are here yet. He was fuming mad, so I tinted the glass. I placed my phone down and leaned against my desk. I gave him a look to speak, which was all he needed. He then started ripping into me.

"What is this I hear about you digging into my worker's personal life?! That's highly inappropriate! There isn't anything in writing that says who you can and cannot be close with! So how dare you try and gaslight her!" He took a second to catch his breath.

"Are you done yet?" I was bored.

"No! I'm just getting started!" I rolled my eyes as he continued to rant.

I glanced down at my watch to see how much longer I had to endure this. Lando eventually stopped ranting after 15 minutes straight. I have no idea how his voice isn't hoarse.

"Do you have nothing to say?!"

"Yes, I do... she tattled on me to her manager." I chuckled, but Lando wasn't amused. "What?"

"Do you not understand how you violated her privacy and she could report you?!"

"Oh, she'd report me to my boss." I acted scared. "Shit! Wait, who is my boss? Oh, yeah. It's me." I deadpanned as he rolled his eyes. "No one is going to fire me." I sat down. "Is that all, Lando?"

"Why are you picking on her?"

"Who says I'm picking on her? Maybe I'm just having fun." I shrugged. "You told me to relax a bit and have fun at work-"

"Not by making your employee's life a living nightmare!" He exclaimed. "Cut her some slack or-"

"It's time for the scouting." I interrupted him, making him snap his eyes to the clock. "We don't want to be late."

"Fine! But you owe me!" Lando wagged his finger in my face.

He tried to act pissed off, but I knew he was excited to do the scouting. It was his favorite activity to do at the company. As we were walking to my private elevator, I noticed Brian shamelessly flirting with Dakota. How was she blind to his advances? I could tell that she thought of him as just a friend, but he clearly thought she was interested. I rolled my eyes and called her over. Lando gave me a confused look since we normally never invite outsiders to the scouting.

"Yes." Dakota spoke.

"I need a scribe." I kept walking while Lando gave her an amused look.

We stood in the elevator while waiting to arrive on the upper floor. Lando was humming to irritate me and it worked. I glanced to see him smirking at me. I guess this is my punishment for having fun with his employee. I rolled my eyes and waited for the doors to open. I then walked to the room, where Chantel was waiting.

"Finally, I was wondering wha- what's she doing here?" Chantel questioned.

I ignored her and sat down. I motioned for Dakota to sit in Chantel's seat while Lando rushed to his chair. Chantel scoffed since she was forced to stand. She crossed her arms and gave Dakota a side glare. I gave Lando a look, so he chuckled and stood to retrieve the girls. Chantel sat in his spot and muttered about always sitting on my left.

Lando entered with the first girl for casting. Dakota's eyes widened to see the girl in just a bra and skimpy panties. I quirked a brow at her reaction and signaled for Lando to begin. He asked for the girl to state her name, age, and where she lives. Once Dakota took care of writing that down, he instructed her on how he wished to see her walk. Lando hyped the girl up, making her chuckle and give it her best shot. He acted as her personal cheerleader and then thanked her when she finished.
