(A few minutes later, Nathan walks in, looking between Jace and Elena.)
Nathan Reed (ML bff)
(Smirks) What is the Chaos Queen doing here?
Elena Carter (FL)
(Arms crossed) Fixing the mess your assistant made. I gave her my file, and she never submitted it.
Nathan Reed (ML bff)
(Raises a brow) My assistant is not your assistant. Why would she submit your file?
Elena Carter (FL)
Because you are-
Jace Bennett (ML)
(Glares Nathan) call her. Now.
Nathan Reed (ML bff)
(Sighs) Alright, alright. *takes out phone, dials, Get to the CEO’s office. Now.*
(A few moments later, the assistant walks in, looking confused but composed.)
Nathan's assistant
(Smiling sweetly) You called, sir?
Elena Carter (FL)
(Laughs dryly) Oh, you wanna play dumb now? I handed you the file, and you even said, ‘Got it.’ Don’t tell me your memory lasts shorter than my patience.
Nathan's assistant
Fakes a confused look I... I don’t remember any file.
Jace Bennett (ML)
(Coldly) You don’t remember? How convenient.
Jace POV
(Jace leans back in his chair, eyes flickering between Elena and the assistant. He watches Elena—how she doesn’t hesitate, how her expression is sharp and challenging.)
She’s stubborn. Fiery. Not intimidated in the slightest. smirks internally This might be entertaining.
Elena Carter (FL)
(Steps forward) I’m telling you, I gave it to her. If she lost it, that’s on her.
Nathan Reed (ML bff)
(Sighs) This is pointless. We’ll check the CCTV footage.
(The assistant stiffens slightly, hands clenching.)
Elena Carter (FL)
(Smirks) Hope your acting skills are better than your work ethic.
