Thread: Good Intentions { insufferable & Enigma_x }

Olivers rather reckless entrance didnt go amiss. Talia noted every one of his actions, cunningly so. Talias job was to be his assistant she was supposed to know him inside out, so that is exactly what she planned to do. Their gaze connected and Talia found herself feeling as if her new boss was trying to intimidate her. A slow, malicious smirk found its way over her lips. Oh how wrong he was. As he took a step closer, even him saying her name could be assumed as a way of asserting himself as the head of this situation. Mr Queen, She returned in a soft, tender tone. I can do exactly what Im hired to do. Make sure someone cleans up your act. If youre looking for someone to sate the urge in your tone, I suggest you go find Tessa. Oh shed done her research. With nothing else to do all day, it was safe to say Talia was well read on Oliver and his habits. Now, I can see you dont want me here. She began, taking a step backward as she began to dish out some files onto his desk. But Im here. Your mother hired me to do a job, and Im going to do it. Unlike you Mr Queen, some of us have to work for a living. Her gaze lingered on his for a moment before she opened one of the files. The merger youre delayed on. Ive compiled this file, you just need to review these papers and sign where the crosses are before tomorrow morning so I can send it off in time. The female took the opportunity to bend over his desk, displaying her curved, petite form as she snaked his glass of whiskey. When youre done, you can have the alcohol back. With that, she turned on her heel and marched herself, and the whisky, right out of the room. As Talia gazed out of the window across the beautiful city shed grown up in, she couldnt help but wonder if it really was Oliver shed seen the night before. Surely it couldnt be? He wasnt one to care about anyone but himself, the media displayed that quite clearly. So why would he of all people be running around the city putting himself in danger? A muffled sigh escaped her lips as she gazed out if only this city was as safe as it had been so many years ago. It felt like there were predators everywhere. Not only from last night, but since shed found her way back to the glades, it was only the beginning, no doubt. She needed this job, she was desperate to escape the glades and all they came with. Hopefully, she could show Oliver that she would be of use to him. No doubt Oliver saw her as yet another woman at his beck and call, he had enough of them to assume she was just another temp who would flutter through swept away by his good looks and quick tongue. A soft chuckle left her at the mere thought of that. Talia wasnt a woman to be swept away shed had enough experience in life to know that whenever things seemed to be going too well, they most likely were. Sure, she was a little cynical, but werent most people whod been through a reasonable amount of shit? Talia had been waiting in the office all day, shed prepared as much as she could without Olivers influence. She figured shed done enough, unless he should summon her for a task. The female grabbed up her bag and made her way toward his office, leaning in the doorway as she swung her bag over her shoulder. Considering how late it is, I figured Id get some sleep. You have all of the paperwork you need there. Is there anything else I can get for you before I clock off? Just because Oliver Queen decided to work through the night, didnt mean Talia was going to. Not without a raise.
