“You know, Annalise calle—”
“Mom,” I said and interrupted her. “I do not want to hear her name.” My mother wanted me to forget everything and move on to fixing that marriage with Annalise, but as far as I’m concerned, the only places I want her are in prison or six feet underground.
It always pained me how my own mother, if she could even be classified as that, was the biggest advocate for Annalise, and she didn’t even know the full story.
“Just give it a chance for the sake of your—”
“For the sake of my what? Happiness? That died a long time ago. If you came here to advocate on her behalf, I suggest you leave, and that’s said with all due respect.”
“You’ll never know real love because you don’t give it a chance.” She scoffed.
“I’d rather never know it than be with someone as vindictive and dreadful as her.”
“Stubborn as always,” she rebutted, grabbed her purse and left.
Alas, some peace and quiet.

“Are you in the wrong office?” Great. Everywhere I go, Nicholas finds me.
“No, Mr. Xander told me I’m his new intern assistant,” I said and walked over to the printer.
“That’s cool. Do you need help with anything?”
As much as I didn’t want to say yes, I couldn’t be here acting like I knew how to do everything when I didn’t. “Actually, yes, where do I start?”
“I’ll ask Mara to help you. She can guide you a lot better than I can,” he answered and smiled at me.
He went on his phone, dialed Mara, and a beautiful pregnant lady entered the room. I remembered her face; she’s the boss’s sister. She greeted me yesterday.
“Hey, Nicholas,” she said. “What’s up?”
“I have to go do lab reports, but can you help her out and tell her what it’s like to be doing the assistant stuff?”
“Sure,” Mara said and turned to me. “Of course, I will.”
Nicholas walked over, giving me a very passionate hug, and left the room. My blood was boiling, but I couldn’t show my anger—not here.
“Being Dillon’s assistant is a bit rough, and it’s the main reason this office is always empty.”
“Aren’t you his assistant?”
“No, I just help him out in every way I can. He’s my brother, I can’t say no to him,” she said and smiled. It was good to know that he wasn’t an ass to everyone, because I’m pretty sure this man hates my guts. But I wasn’t here to make him like me. I was here to get this shit done, so I can progress.
“Oh okay, but any tips to help here?”
“Yeah,” she said and took a seat. “The main thing is to just do your job to the best of your ability and keep it professional. He’s fired almost everyone for putting their noses and privates where they shouldn’t be. He doesn’t believe in fraternization, and even if you are doing that, don’t be as bold as you were earlier in front me,” she stated and cleared her throat.
“Oh no, you have it all wrong. Nicholas and I are definitely not like that. I’m single; he just cannot take a hint,” I awkwardly chuckled and took a seat around the desk.
“Oh, my bad then. But even so, Dillon doesn’t ask questions. He just assumes, and he won’t hesitate to let you go,” she spoke up.
“Yeah, I figured as much, and thanks for the tips.”
“You’re welcome, and don’t be afraid to ask if you need any help,” she said and started making her way out of the office.
“I will.”
