“Is there any other thing you’d like me to do sir?” She asked. One thing she had learned on her first day on the job was that it was generally pointless trying to argue with Felix. It was best to just move on. Only two things were keeping her from hitting her boss. One was the fact that it was just a lawsuit and layoff waiting to happen. Two was the fact that she had seen how easily he held onto Luther; he would probably deflect her attacks with a nonchalant flick of his wrist.
Felix sighed and shook his head. “No. You can clock out for the day.”
Cassie nodded to him and began to arrange her table. She put all her things in her handbag and nodded to him. “Good night sir.” She greeted.
He waved her off. It was more of a dismissal wave than a friendly one. “See you tomorrow and be ready to do better. It was painfully obvious that this was your first day working as a personal assistant so I suggest you do some reading online about what is expected of you.” He said.
Cassie exited his office and made her way into the elevator. She was hoping that no one else, especially Emerald and Luther, would get in with her as she wasn’t in the mood to socialize but her hopes were dashed when the elevator’s door slid open on the ride down. Even though she had been hoping for zero companionships, she was more than happy when Daniel walked in. Apart from Felix, he was the only other person she knew individually in the office and Felix wasn’t even worth knowing as he was nothing but a bag of farts masquerading as a human.
He beamed at her. “How was your first day of work?”
“Hectic,” Cassie replied. She had a lot more to say about her first day of work, particularly about her boss, but she wasn’t about to start bitching about her boss to a fellow employee on her first day. If she wanted to complain about Felix, she would do so to people who weren’t associated with Tech Town – Diana, Austin, and Isabel.
“Sorry about that. It’s not always going to be like that though.” Daniel comforted.
Cassie hoped that he was right.
“So are you on an errand from the boss right now?” Daniel asked.
Cassie shook her head. “Nope. I’m clocking out for the day.” Cassie was glad that she was done for the day, if she spent any more seconds with Felix in his lavish office, she might just strangle him; lawsuit and layoff be damned.
Surprised, Daniel looked at his watch. “You’re extremely lucky. I have a meeting scheduled to take place in the next twenty minutes. I just stepped out to stretch my legs.” The elevator’s doors slid open and they both stepped out. “Speaking of meetings, I heard that some bad shittery went down at one of the meetings you most likely attended this afternoon.
