Brutally Honest

Nick looked up at the sound of the knock on his doorframe, then the clock on his computer. “You’re in early,” he said to Katherine as she walked forward and closed his door.

“I wanted to catch you before anyone else came in. I know you’re swamped with meetings and figured I would get to you first.”

He frowned, then said, “I told you I’d make time for you today.”

“I know, but like I said, I wanted to get to you first.”

She walked in and sat in the chair across from him. She’d been employed from day one, and was one of his most valued employees.

“What’s going on? Should I be worried with cash flow or something?”

“You know better than that,” she said, cracking the barest of smiles. “It’s Kendra.”

He should have figured as much. “I’m sorry about that. I didn’t know that’s where my father was going to put her.”

“Listen, Nick. We all know things are a little awkward right now and you’re both going through a rough patch. I’m here to help you the best I can, but I’m worried about you.”

“There’s nothing to be worried about. It’s all being taken care of.” Though he was touched that she was so concerned about him, he was slightly surprised by it. She’d never been a warm and fuzzy type of employee. Loyal to a fault, sure, but never emotional and definitely no drama. She ran her department with a firm hand but was highly respected. “You could have contacted me with any concerns. You know I travel a lot, but I’m always available.”

“I know. This is different though. Your father requested we go to him with anything, and I have been. Not that there was much going on from my end. I’ve explained my concerns in regards to Kendra, but I felt it would be better to talk to you.”

“What’s going on? What’s she doing?”

“Her job. It’s not that. She completes everything I give fast and well. She’s always been competent.”

He was trying not to show his confusion, but couldn’t help it. “Okay…”

“I’m really only giving her busy work. She isn’t qualified to do much more, but she wants to.”

“You know Kendra has always been ambitious. She has always wanted to learn as much as she could.”

It was one of the things he was going to miss. Training someone new who was just as ambitious and eager to learn.

Katherine leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms, and Nick knew right then something more was going on. “There is nothing wrong with that. I love that quality in staff, but this is different. She’s nosy. Snooping, almost. I’ve found her in places she shouldn’t be. Looking through files that she has no business looking at. You know we can tell who is trying to log into systems they shouldn’t be, and I know she is trying to. Doesn’t she realize we can see that?”

“No, she doesn’t know that.”

He’d never told Kendra details like that. There was no reason to. It didn’t matter that she was his assistant.
