Jade

The next day, Tyson drives me to work since my car is still out of commission while his mechanic takes care of the tracker. Even though I was walking in with Tyson, and it was fairly early, I still felt like everyone's eyes were on me. I know they had to have heard what happened yesterday. This place was worse than gossiping teenagers, nothing is kept secret for long. I even saw my new enemy Nancy at my desk, readying it for the day.

“Jade, I didn’t think you’d be here today,” she says shocked when she sees me glaring over at her. She probably didn’t expect to see me at all, period. Does she have any shame? She didn’t wait long to pounce.

Reading my mind, Tyson tells her, “No need for you to make yourself at home. Jade isn’t going anywhere.” She gives him a tight smile before giving me a not so nice look as she gathers her shit. When she turns to go to her floor, she bumps my arm hard before giving me a halfass apology she doesn’t really mean.

“Bitch,” I mumble under my breath, but Tyson still hears me and gives me a tender kiss before he walks off. I’m standing there dazed when Mr. Garfield walks in, muttering morning pleasantries.

“Jade, can I see you in my office?” he asks and my heart races. I knew he would want to see me so I don’t know why I am so scared. Maybe it’s because I hate that I disappointed him. I swear this place is making me soft. I need to dig up that tough Jersey girl McHottie tried to bury alive.

“Sure thing, boss man,” I answer with a forced smile that doesn’t reach my eyes.

I don’t know why I feel like I’m walking towards my execution as I take the same steps to Mr. Garfield’s office I take almost everyday. When I reach his door, I knock and wait for him to call me in. When he does, I notice that Tyson is nowhere to be seen and that his father wanted to talk to me alone. Well fuck, that’s not good. What if he fires me anyways despite Tyson’s reassurances?

“Take a seat, Jade,” he says in a no nonsense tone. When I’m seated, he looks at me for quite a while before speaking, making me squirm in the expensive leather, wingback chair.

“I’m sure you know why I asked you in here,” he starts.

“I do,” I answer.

“Do you know what makes this firm so successful?” he asks, confusing me.

“Umm, no, not really,” I answer.

“You wouldn’t know it from first meeting us, but each of my partners are ruthless and well educated. It’s my company that coined the saying ‘sharks in the water’. We are those sharks, and to be so, we had to do many things. In our business, it’s instrumental we know our craft. We have to be able to anticipate any situation and case that comes our way so we can come up with the perfect solution to move forward.
