Ashley stepped out of the elevator and took a quick look around. When no one was in sight, she sprinted to a nearby desk and hid behind it. God she hoped no one was in.

“Miss Ashley?”

Curse that damned assistant! Why wasn’t she on her lunchbreak like every other employee in this building? The brunette removed her head from her hiding spot and looked around again. She spotted Beverly at her desk wearing a very confused look. She gave the woman a little wave and laughed nervously. “Hiya Bev. How’s things?”

“Good. Are you alright?”

“I’m fine! Peachy! Say, you don’t happen to know if Spencer is in her office? Cause if she isn’t, no biggie, I’ll just leave and-“

“Ashley! Get your bigass butt in here right this minute before I have to physically drag you in here and hurt you – big time!” They suddenly both heard.

Busted in the second degree. Ashley sighed but that quickly turned into a pout. “I don’t have a bigass butt!” She yelled back and mumbled ”Don’t insult my tushy, Spencer.” She stood up and slowly left her hiding spot. Avoiding Beverly’s eyes she just walked past to Spencer’s office door. “Wish me luck.”

“Uh sure.”

The brunette opened the door and put on a dazzling smile. Maybe this would distract the little blonde. “Spencer! My darling!”

But Ashley’s little ploy didn’t appear to be working. Spencer glared at the brunette with every fibre in her body and then some. “I cannot believe you.”

“Me neither.” The brunette muttered to herself and dropped herself in a chair. She braced herself for what was to come. This was gonna be on tough ride. She’d be lucky to be semi alive by the time she left this place.

“Is it really that hard for you to be on time? Seriously, have you ever heard of an alarm clock?” Spencer got up and started pacing. How was she going to explain this one to the judge? ‘Sorry we failed to show up in court because the concept of an alarm clock is too complex for my client to grasp?’

“I’m sorry Spence.”

“Sorry my ass!”

Ashley couldn’t help letting her eyes wander down to said ass. It was a nice ass, you know. Who wouldn’t ogle it? She quickly snapped her eyes back north when she heard Spencer clear her throat. Up north there were assets as well worth ogling. Maybe later. Like when Spencer wasn’t shooting daggers at her with her eyes.
