Chapter 6 - Work For Me{}

Start from the beginning
                                    

I walked into my office and placed my handbag in the little cabinet and headed to his office.

"Good morning, Mr. Hawthorne!" I cheerfully greeted a frustrated-looking Brandon, I meant Mr. Hawthorne.

"Morning Ashley, and please don't call me Mr. Hawthorne it makes me feel old. My name is Brandon you know!" He said cocking his head to the side.

"Oh, well okay then, morning Brandon!" I greeted and he smiled.

"Morning Ashley, I see you are here early?" He asked.

"Oh, I thought work started at seven?"

"No, for my personal assistant it starts at eight-thirty." He said.

"Oh," I muttered.

"Did Melissa tour you around yet?" He asked looking up from his computer.

"Yes, she did," I nodded.

"Good so you have met my little sister." He said with a grin.

"Melissa? She is your sister?" I asked my mouth wide open, and I looked at him as if he had grown multiple heads.

He smiled, "Yes, that my dear is Melissa Hawthorne, one very enthusiastic girl." He said looking at the door I had just come through "Ashley take a seat you are making me very uncomfortable standing there," He gestured to the small couch and I took a seat gracefully. As gracefully as I possibly could.

"Wow, she is very kind and has a nice bubbly personality!" I said with a grin.

The door suddenly burst open and in walked Melissa again with a huge grin on her face.

"Guess who texted Dina!" She said walking towards his desk not noticing my presence, "Alessandro, he asked me out!"

She squealed, Ouch! that hurt my ears, and let me tell you I am used to squealing, Melanie does it all the time. Back in the day when I used to date Darren he used to send me tons of roses only to realize that he was softening me up to get into my pants. 

The only problem was that I actually fell in love with him. I loved him with all my heart but it was one-sided love only, back to my point, Melanie, used to squeal like a high school girl causing me to cover my ears before she burned a hole in my poor eardrum.

"Oh, hello Ashley!" Melissa said finally realizing my presence. I gave her a small smile.

"Hi," I replied.

"Do you and Mr. Hawthorne know each other previously? Now that I think about it you look rather familiar!" Melissa said.

"Uh yeah, we are friends and have met previously," I admitted sheepishly.

"I wanted her to work here, she was assaulted by her previous boss and Lissa stop calling me Mr. Hawthorne she knows you are my sister," Brandon said huffing.

"Oh! We are going to be such good friends! After work, I'm taking you out to meet other friends of mine!" Melissa said.

"Sure, could I bring along another friend?" I asked her.

"Yes! What is her name?"

"Melanie Lanser."

"I know her! She works in the designing section here!"

"Yes, that is the one," I said with a smile.

"See Brandina I told you my memory was way better than yours!"

"Lissa! I have to run a whole company! You just show people around and you have a photographic memory! It doesn't count!" He said and they carried on bickering while I left the office with a small smile. It was moments like these that warmed my heart.
