《My famous boss (gxg)》Chapter 5
Advertisement
Chris and I return to the set and I go right away and hand Scarlett a can. He told me that she doesn't trust me and that is why she is being bitchy with me. I shrugged it off remembering how Ms Clark would shout at me and complain. Ms Clark is the only person that knows everything about me and I would like to keep it that way. I don't trust anyone beside her.
I am nice to people but I don't let anyone even scratch whats under the surface. I was hurt and I was used and I am not going to let that happen again. I know Scarlett has enough money and I believe that if I told her she wouldm't even react, but I don't want her to look at me any differently just because I own a multi-billion pound company.
I want her to get an idea of me for me and not because I just seem to have a lot of shit on my hands. I chill in the back sitting on one of the chairs but I feel like I am sitting on nails. I am constantly waiting for her to call me and ask for something.
I talked with RDJ for a bit and he is the nicest, coolest and the funniest guy I've met so far. He is just so full of positive energy and I can't wait to see him again. We talked about this film and he told me it is his last one with marvel. I don't really know anything about that but I can only imagine what it would feel like to say goodbye to a character you've been playing for over a decade.
The day finally ends and I check if Scarlett left anything on set. She did not and we head back. She tells me that she will go back and change and that I should wait back in her trailer. I listen to her and as soon as I close the door I sit down on the couch. I am so bored and tired from all of this. It is only my first day I guess I shouldn't judge the job soully on that.
After a few more minutes I see Scarlet with her hair up and changed into some jeans and a very short t shirt.
"What are we doing next?" I ask
"We are heading back to The Outset HQ for a quick meeting. After that we also have to pay a visit to one of the warehouses to pick up some new products we need to try and test for ourselves. "
"Okay, so I'll meet you there?" I ask
"You're driving us, I came here with Evans" She says
"Oh, alright. Follow me then" I say and we head to the parking lot.
Scarlett approaches my car and looks at it in awe. I know how it looks and I feel a tingle in my stomach at her face. I doubt that she's doing it on purpose. We get inside and she hops into the passengers side as I enter on the other end. On our way the trafic is mental. I feel like we're moving inch by inch. I turn on my radio and head to my spotify. I click shuffle and ABBA plays through the speakers.
"I hope you don't mind" I say and turn up the volume a bit. She shakes her head looking out of the window. She seems stressed.
"I think a car crash happened here, how about we take another way and switch lanes?" I ask. She just nods and continues looking somewhere in the distance.

I reverse my car and switch lanes. We are taking a different route. This time I am going to pass by my complex and come from the other end. It may take some time but at least we'll be moving. She snaps out of her thought as I take a sharp turn.
"Where are you going? You're supposed to turn left." she says
"If I turn left we'll be going for an hour a meter. Like this we'll arrive in about 15 minutes."
"How come you know so much of New York? You're not even from here. " she says
Thats the question I've been waiting for. She never asked about my accent or where I was from. At the time I was grateful. Not so much now.
"I've been living in New York for over 5 years. I know my way around the city pretty well." I say
"Well where are you from originally?" My mums vagina
"I'm from England" I answer
"Why did you move here?"
"Is this work related?"
"No" she says
"Then I don't even know why you're asking."
"Well you are my assistant. I need to know who I am working with. What if you moved to America because you're a criminal on the run?"
"I'm not on the run if thats your main concern" I say
"Well that would explain how you can afford this car"
"Since when was it ok to go into how financially stable a person is? Wasn't that a personal question?" I ask
"Fair enough, but you just seem off to me" she says as we arrive in front of the building.
I exit the car and ignore the comment she just threw at me. I do not care right now. I just want to get this day over with. I don't want to quit so fast so I will try to like it. We enter the building and I open the door for her. She and I come inside to the lobby and there we see Kate again. She tells us that the meeting already started and that we should join them. I nod and go after them.
Scarlett sits down in one of the chairs and I sit next to her. Kate slides me a notebook and a pen to take notes of todays meeting while they talk. I nod and quickly write down the most I can. I try my hardest on my handwriting because I know that someone else wil be reading it afterwards. Scarlett stays quiet for most of the meeting, keeping an eye on everyone.
"The main thing we want to talk with you about was a wish from one of your friends" Kate says turning to face Scarlett.
"I'm listening" she says calmly
"Gwyneth Paltrow wants to be in one of your comercials. She saw our ad that we're looking for some models that could help promote our work and she lived the products."
"No, absolutely not Kate. I will not let an already celebrity take up a place where a young teen could be or just someone who could be more skilled than her" Scarlett says
"It will be good advertising. It could show that even someone like her buys our stuff! Don't you understand?" Kate says back.
"I don't care for the advertisement. I don't want a diva marching in here and telling me how to do my job" Scarlett shouts.
"You're being undoubtedly biased Scar and you know that! What did we say when we started it? Business first and private second."

The argument gets a little more heated and I can't believe how loud the both of them are getting.
"Kate, this is finally a time where we can avoid being uncomfortable. We can choose who we work with and don't have to worry about what anyone has to say." Scarlett replies.
"Oh now this is us? I don't have a problem with her you do! Everyone out right now! I have a chat I need to have with Scarlett." Kate shouts
I get up and gather my things taking my phone with me.
"Adams stay!" Scarlett says
"You can leave" Kate says
What should I do? I head to the door when I hear a scream.
"Adams I will not say it again! Sit your ass back down!" Scarlett says, rather loudly.
I sit back down onto my chair and they continue arguing.
"Why do you need her in here? She is just your assistant. What you can't face me alone? You need someone on your side?" Kate taunts
"She's my employee and she listens to me, so shut up and let me talk! I've worked with Gwyneth before and I know what she is like. My friends told me about her behaviour and I won't voluntarily put up with her."
"This is not about you! This is about our company and its advertisement. Lena you studied business! Tell her that this is a huge step!" Kate now turns to me, thinking I'll stand by her just because I studied business in uni.
"I'm sorry Kate but I agree with Scarlett. She made a pretty fair point with wanting someone that is skilled as a model. I understand you find that her opinion is more biased, but when you take away what she said about Gwyneth and look at the other point it is pretty valid." I say looking at Kate. She comes closer to me and tries to scare me or to make me feel insecure for what I said. She tries to assert dominance with eye contact. Classic move, really I'm impressed, not.
"See even she agrees with me. Is that biased for you?" Scarlett says but Kate doesn't take her eyes off me, and neither do I. I keep my cool and look forwards like I am not stared down by a beautiful blonde.
"I don't know why I even asked, she has no idea whats it like to run a company. Besides, how old are you even? 19?" Kate says coming closer to me. I can feel her breath and my face
"How long have you been running this company? A year? Call me impressed. I am flattered by your comment but I am actually 28" I smile back smugly
"You've got a big mouth for someone who's job is to pick up after someone else" Kate says sitting down in a seat close to me. I don't answer her, I tense my jaw and stop myself from loosing my cool. I can't lose my job this fast.
"Where did you even go to college?" she asks. Scarlett puts her hand in her hand clearly not amused nor interested.
"Oxford" I answer. I don't what to talk anymore than I need to
"Do you know what you scream to me? The attitude, your stance and that look in your eyes. Daddy's money. It seems to me that you've never heard the word no in your life." she says
"Okay now this is going way too far Kate, just let her be" Scarlett says
"Oh you think she can't handle me? If so you should fire her here and now. Because you're even worse Scar" what does that even mean? I mean she was kinda mean to me but this is just horrid. Kate tries to put me down like I am a dog or something.
"Let's not talk about what I can or can't handle, because I have dealt with mean bosses in the past and Scarlett is not even close to them." I say crossing my hands
"Good now you're even kissing up. Whats next? You're gonna kiss the ground she walks on?" She taunts
I take a deep breath and try to calm my nerves before speaking up. " Where is your assistant Kate? Huh? Where is your kiss-ass that will help you with your job?" I ask
I don't care anymore, she will not speak to me like that.
"I don't need an assistant. Unlike other people I can handle my chores prefectly"
"Thats cute, and reasonable considering this is the only thing you have going for you at the moment. I would do the same if I was you" I say with a smug smile.
Her smile drops at that and looks shocked I stroke a punch.
"You being hard on me and making me work hard is one thing, but insulting me and disrespecting me is completely different. I will not be disrespected no matter what. You don't respect boundaries and until you start you're going to have a lot more arguments like this with Ms Scarlett." I say and get up gathering my things. I hand Kate her note book and her pen.
"Here are the notes before you decided to start a useless argument. Ms Scarlett I think it is time we go to the warehouses you previously mentioned me. I'll be waiting for you in car." She nods and I exit the room quickly.
I feel like I might throw up. I could have just lost my job but I think I saved it last minute. I wait for her in the car and try to take deep breaths to calm myself down. I hear a door open and it's her getting inside. I start driving and she is silent again.
"I'm sorry about Kate, she shouldn't have said those things to you" She says looking at me now
"Don't worry it is nothing I can't handle" I flash a smile her way and she nods.
The entire day all this woman has eaten was granola bars and snacks. She hasn't eaten and I will change that. I won't let her starve herself. No wonder she's been so moody. I would be too if I was hungry the entire day.
I pull into a burger king drive through.
"What do you want to order?" I ask hee
"I'm not really hungry, besides shouldn't we hurry to the warehouse?" she asks
"The warehouse can wait, you need to eat" I say. She stays quiet looking away.
I order her two cheeseburgers, fries, and a red bull slushy. I oder the same for me but with a diet coke. I go to pay and she offers her credit card to me. I take it and put it in my right hand. I have my red card in my left though. When they open the window I give them mine, putting hers onto her lap.
"Thank you have a wonderful day" I say and take the food through the window.
"Since you didn't really give me an order you're stuck with this" I say and I pull up into the parking lot. I move my seat back a bit and turn on the light in the middle because it is getting dark out. As we munch on our food soft droplets of rain fall on my windshield and pick up their pace after a few minutes.
