He looks over me for a few seconds then speaks up. "Did you read over all the files I gave you last night?"

"Yes sir." He raises an eyebrow.

"Hm. Okay. Come to my office when you've got yourself situated." My mouth opens to respond but before I can he turns on his heel and walks into his office slamming the door.

I close my eyes tightly and breath. It took me forever to get my position here. "Looks like you're gonna get fired finally." My hands tighten around my files and my eyes open to see the most ugliest person I have ever met.

"Vanessa get to work. I'd at least get fired for being late, and not for sleeping with my former boss like someone in front of me." I snap at her. You see Vanessa has worked here for almost two years now. She's almost thirty and she sleeps around and not responsibly.

"Whatever." I roll my eyes at her as she walks away. She's never liked me. Even more so after I got the position to help Mr. Henderson with his cases. She would throw out the fact that I'm twenty four and she is almost thirty and more experienced. I also rolled my eyes at that too.

I turn around to my door and the once silent office is back to its buzzing noise. I walking inside my personal office which is on the other side of where Mr. Henderson works.

I sit my files down and turn on my computer. I get myself situated and when I am I begin my journey over to Mr. Henderson's office. I get to his door and nock and then enter. He's on the phone but he points to a chair across from his large desk. I sigh and make my way over to him. I sit down in the chair and take in Max.

He's tall maybe six foot, strong body build and blood hair. His eyes are almost a green color but if you get close enough they are a gold color with spats of green. He's always wearing a suit and a masked look of annoyance. He talks very curt to the person on the other line. Makes me think back to how he got here owning a Law Ferm. He's only thirty two now and when he came into power here he was twenty one. It amazes me how young he was. He doesn't talk about how he came into power, but he's a smart man so I guess I can't see why he can't be here.

"Alex." I'm pulled out of my thoughts and I look up at him.

"Yes sir. Sorry sir."

Max shakes his head at me. "You're always saying sorry." He smirks.

"Sor--" I stop mid word.

"What do you need me for sir?"

"First. How many times have I told you to call me Max?"

"Sorry Max." Damnit! I did it again.

Max chuckles. "Well to set some nerves aside I'm not firing you. Although Vanessa would like that." He shakes his head. Everyone knows Vanessa and I don't get along. "I called you in to ask you an important question." I sit up a little more in my chair intrigued at his tone of voice.

"Yes, ask away." I lay my hands in my lab and fiddle with them.

"How would you like to go one a date with me?"

My eyes snap to his as he looks at me with a unknown emotion. I guess he could see some confusion on my face.

"Work is work, but I choose how my home life is and I've been wanting you for awhile. I've waited to see if you were the right girl to ask." I scrunch up my nose a little. If I say no will he fire me? "Also I won't fire you if you say no."

I take a moment to think about it. Any girl would dream to have him. Although he's a little mysterious at times and disappears others I think all in all he's an okay guy and it wouldn't hurt to give him a shot.

"Why not." I smile at him.

He looks a little taken back at first then he smiles. "Good. How about tomorrow after work?" I smile and nod at him.

"Okay it's a date. Now get back to work Ms. Hart." His tone changes from light to a little harsh, and I nod and leave his office with a faint twinkle in my eye.

I go back to my office to work. The rest of the day went by like a blur and before I know it I'm turning of my computer and yawning. My clock reads ten thirty and the only light left In the office building is Max's. He's always here late at night. I gather everything I need for the night and walk out of my office and into the dark area where everyone else has the cubicle. I walk to the elevators and click the button to send me an elevator. I wait patiently and the door dings and slides open. I walk in and click the lobby floor which is ten stories down.

I drive silently. I've always like to just relax in my car due to my father when I get home. My dad has been drinking ever since I was born. He comes home late at night after the bar hopping always drunk off his heels. My mother I've never met. I've been told she was some type of addict also but I didn't get the chance to meet her because she died shortly after I was born. Now I support my father after he strived to support me and his addiction. I've tried to get him help but he's never wanted it, after awhile I gave up. He'd never hurt me, he'd never drive drunk, all he does it really hurt himself and I can't do much other than love him.

I stop at a stop sign and see a black SUV just sitting at the curb. Weird. I turn into my street and drive up to my house and pull into the drive way. I grab my files and open my car door. I drop a couple of papers so I bend down and get them as I do I hear a loud yell come from inside. I turn my head sharply. I take step after step to my front door that's unlocked. I push the door open and lay my keys and files on the table.

The house is dark. I walk around a wall that blocks me from the living space and my eyes adjust to four figures in my house. My dad stands between three men very upset and with a bloody nose.

"Dad? What's going on?" My voice is low but heard.

"I messed up baby girl."

(So I'm going through some minor changes hope you like them! If you're new to my book nothing for you will change! Love y'all!)
