New job, younger boss

Riley, a 24yr old male, walks into the back of the coffee shop at exactly 7am, he is never late to his work. Once he had closed the door he saw his boss, Mr Tucker, waiting by the counter.

"Good morning boss" Riley says confusingly.

"Morning Riley, we need to talk in my office. Meet me there the quickest you can" Mr Tucker says this in a stern and serious voice, it somewhat scares Riley.

Riley gets into the office which had its door open

"Close the door and you won't need to sit, this will be quick" Mr Tucker kept on having a stern voice

"Yes sir" Riley says this as he closes the door. Riley walks closer to Mr Tucker's desk.

"Look Riley, I have to let you go" Mr Tucker sighed as if he didn't want to do this at all, like he was holding back some frustration

"But sir, I am the best employee here. I come early every day, I make the best drinks, I make the customers feel welcome and that brings more customers! Why would you fire me?" Riley was so angry that he started to clench his fists

"Look Riley, since I gave you that raise months ago, I haven't been able to pay. I can't just take the raise away so I would rather just fire you. The staff numbers are also a bit big. I also need money to pay the others." Mr Tucker waits for more arguing, he doesn't hear anything except Riley whispering to himself.

"Okay sir, I will leave. But I am definitely coming back to see if the others can make a good drink without me." Riley laughs and so does Mr Tucker. Mr Tucker stands up and walks over to Riley, they shake hands before Riley opens the door and leaves.

Mr Tucker starts to think, "I wonder if he will get a better job than this?"

That exact night at 10pm, Riley finishes looking on the website and lays on his bed. He looks at his phone on his side table and instantly sits up to grab it. He goes through his contacts and calls his best friend since Grade 5, Maddy Cartson. Once he started to call, she instantly picked up.

"Hi there, nerd" Maddy is always the rude one, Riley is more nicer than her, even her own husband, Carl Carter, thinks so.

"Guess what happened to me today? I got fired!" Riley says with a sad voice

"Aww, that sucks man- WAIT!! Carl said his brother is looking for a new assistant. That's perfect for you, you always get things perfect so he will never ever tell at you!" Maddy says this with such glee.

"Maddy, his brother is that douchebag actor/singer, he KNOWS he is perfect so he pushes it in everyone's damn face!" Riley says this while holding his hand on his face and instantly sigh straight after.

"Come on, you need money for that crappy *** apartment you are living. Actually, WHY are you living in there? That place is so awful." Maddy's job is interior design so obviously she always talks about Riley's place like this.

"That doesn't matter, just give me the agent's number."

"Oh, you won't need that. I'm gonna make Carl tell his brother to hire you, I'll send you the location tomorrow." Maddy giggles

"So you gonna have sex with him to have him be confident to his brother? Yeah, Carl has always been a wuss, since college."

"Shut up, you don't even have a boyfriend! That is why I would never be gay, finding somebody else that is gay is so ****hard****" they both laugh and continue talking until Carl got back and Maddy had to do her manipulation.

The next morning Riley is woken up by Maddy calling him. Riley answers and all Riley can hear at first is a blender and a kettle.

"Why are you calling me at 5am?" Riley yawns and the blender stops

"Just telling you that I sent you the location AND his brother said that he wants you there are 7 this morning. By the way, you DO know his name right?"

"Of course I do, his name is Marshall Carter. Now leave me alone, I'm gonna go shower to wake up."

"Oh my~ How about you show me you showering, gay boy~"

"Stop being like that, your husband is gonna think things" Riley ends the call and gets off the bed. Riley goes to his cupboard ad slides the door open, he gets clothes for work and puts them on his bed. Riley goes to bathroom while yawning and closes the door.

Hours later, at the Marshall's house. Riley got out the taxi, after he paid the guy he went to the door and knocked. A lady with glasses answered, she was about my height but a lil shorter.

"Come in please. Mr Carter is in the lounge." The lady moves aside and Riley walks inside. She closes the door and leads Riley to the lounge. Marshall is leaning back on the couch and is on his phone, it looks like he has died streaks into his hair, white streaks.

"Mr Marshall, your assistant is here." The lady keeps looking down even when she walking away

Marshall looks up at Riley and stares his body up and down

"Hello sir, my name is Riley Kirtley and my age is 24." Riley bows and Marshall smirks whilst Riley does this

"Hello Riley, you are quite a gentleman I see. May I know why my brother made me hire you?" Riley stand snack up. He gets shivers in his whole body as Marshall is staring at him with his crystal ocean blue eyes.

"I told my friend last night about how I was fired yesterday and she made me do this instantly. She might have seduced Carl into forcing you into this-"

"I was not forced nor persuaded, once I saw your picture and of course what kind of representation you had at your last job, I had to hire you. My brother just pushed me a bit." Riley smiles from knowing he was actually wanted as an assistant

Marshall looks at Riley smiling and thinks, "What a beautiful smile, I've never seen such a unique smile before."
