Andy had returned to his office without a care in the world. Office drama really didn't entertain him these days.
But no matter what he did, his days would always be filled with drama and today was no different.
He had received another complaint from HR again, something about him not minding his juniors privacy or whatever.
Andy just looked at it and placed it on his desk. "Oh, the tenth one this week, I'm really popular."
He muttered with any real emotion or laughter in his words.
This was just a daily thing for him now.
Andy just continued with whatever work he had left for the afternoon. He just wanted to go home and relax for the day.
Since he was only given 2 days in a week to rest and relax after about a hundred complaints were filed against Ken for labor.
17:41pm
Andy had finally sent the last email, he closed his laptop and packed his bag.
He walked through the department with a single minded goal and he wasn't gonna let that get interrupted.
He felt the stares of his juniors, he always did, those cold and distant stares.
The moment he reached the elevator, he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder.
"Listen, if you have any more complaints or files that need my approval, just leave them on my desk."
"I'll attend them on Monday." He uttered as he waited for the doors to open without turning around.
"It's not that, we just...we just wanted to apologize for our earlier comments in the kitchen sir!"
A woman muttered loudly. Andy slowly turned around, his tired eyes meeting her scared ones.
"We said some terrible things towards you and we just wanted to say sorry for our behaviour Mr Matthews."
She stated as she clasped her hands together.
Andy opened his mouth, he wanted to do something but was stopped.
"And before you say anything, we just wanted to give this box of cookies as a peace offering."
She stated as she handed him the box of cookies.
Andy opened the box and stared at the contents, he blinked once and asked.
"Is this poisoned? Did you like to spit in them or something? " he asked as he held one up.
The woman was shocked by his accusations.
"W-what the.... no there are just normal cookies we bought for you." She uttered.
"Oh... then thanks I guess." He started as he took a bite out of it, chewing slowly as he stared at her.
He turned back and entered the elevator, he stared at her longer than usual before pushing the button for the ground floor.
"So do you like to forgive us?" She asked him.
"I don't know." He stated as the doors closed on him, the soft and slightly annoying elevator music playing in the background.
The elevator then made an abrupt stop before slowly ascending up, its destination the top floor.
Andy sighed as he tapped the button multiple times but nothing happened.
"You gotta be shitting me right now." He muttered as he reached the top floor.
The door opened revealing Jade waiting for him.
She was dressed in a skin tight dress with an open slit on the thigh.
"Mr Matthews, I'm glad you decided to join us for this evening's meeting. Oh and it appears you brought snacks, how thoughtful."
She stated, grabbing the box of cookies from him.
"I didn't." He stated as he stepped out of the elevator, he really didn't bother looking at Jade for long.
"Probably took control of the elevator again." He thought.
He made his way to the meeting room, where the company's executives and those in high position would normally meet.
He pushed the door open and was instantly met with the intense stares of everyone.
"Hi Andy, haven't been seeing you around lately, must be working really hard."
Ashley stated as she pointed to the spot next to her.
As Andy moved, the tired and angry eyes of everyone followed him as he sat next to Ashley.
Andy looked around and saw all the high executives, he turned to his left and saw one of the only people he actually liked.
"Hey Monica, still as shaky as ever I see." He tells her.
"What?!"
" Oh Andy, when did you get here?"
" Oh wait, is this a meeting? I must have zoned out again, you have coffee right?"
She asked him, Andy simply shook his head.
"Oh, well I'll have to get some then. Umm, if you'll excuse me."
She stated as she slowly stood up.
"Sit your ass down Winchester, we have something to discuss."
Jade told her, her expression cold as usual.
Monica yelped as she sat down a little too hard. "Ouch my butt." She stated, shaking a little.
"Well, you always were the most active one." He stated.
"Alright, everyone. I'm gonna make this fast since none of us want to be here."
"We'll all be going on the annual Staff Vacation to Hawaii next week. As some of you may already know."
"Staff Vacation?" Andy asked.
"Yeah, it's an annual thing we host for all the new employees we receive." Ashley told him.
"Really, why didn't I receive one then?" He asked her.
"Because you were the only one to join at that time, and basically, spending thousands on one person is a pure waste of resources."
Jade responded, her hand reaching for another cookie.
"Thanks, I feel so appreciated." Andy muttered.
Jade simply ignored him and continued. "As some of you may know, it's a time for everyone to rest and relax from the hardships of the office.".
"You will have to bring any assistants or staff of your choice if you so wish but the number is only three per individual."
Murmurs and chatter spread through the meeting room.
Everyone was seemingly discussing who they would bring from each department.
"Enough chatter or you're getting your paychecks docked!" Jade shouted before clearing her throat.
"Andy, since you're the newest among us, I assume you'll be bringing all three of your assistants?"
Jade asked.
Andy raised an eyebrow slightly as the mention of 'three'.
"Yeah, I only have two assistants, Ms Jade." He replied.
"Wait you didn't get the.... damn it! I told that sleep deprieved..."
She stopped herself before adding on.
"Anyway, you received a new employee this morning in your department. She should have been here in the morning."
As Jade is talking, the doors open slowly. Rumi enters looking as tired as everyone else.
"Good .....(looks at phone).. evening boss lady. I managed to get the newest addition to hell...I mean the company."
She started as a blue haired figure stepped into the room....
