Chapter 6
------------
Just as I was feeling the need to punch the man's face there was a knock on the door. My head naturally turned towards the direction of the sound and what I saw after I heard Nicholas say "Come in" was a pretty girl with a face full of freckles, straight black hair that reached past her chest and green eyes that seemed to sparkle. She was around 5'7, possibly 6ft now with the heels she was wearing, to put it simply she was gorgeous.
"Sit." Nicholas said.
After just a short time I came to realize that Nicholas is a man of a few words when he wanted to be. The girl looked around and grabbed a chair that was near the door. It wasn't a special seat like the office chairs both Nicholas and I was sat on. She placed the chair next me, so now both of us were facing Nicholas.
"I'm sorry what's your name again?" Nicholas asked.
I sat there waiting to hear the name of the mystery girl that came out of no where but there was silence. As I looked up Nicholas was looking at me.
He wants to know my name?
Didn't he already know my name already?
"It's Skylar." I answered.
An annoyed look appeared on Nicholas' face. "I meant your last name, how many times do I have to tell you we are at a professional work place, what, you want me to call you by your name?" Nicholas said in an annoyed tone.
"No it's not that, its jus-..."
"Your name please..." Nicholas said in a displeased tone.
"Its McLarin." I said through clenched teeth.
Yeah, he's really asking for it, what a jerk! I thought to myself.
Ms. McLarin, I'd like to introduce you to Ms. Acker, the other TA you will be working with."
Apparently, it wasn't just me that seemed to be shocked by this sudden news. The freckled model look alike also appeared to be surprised by the turn of events.
"Why do you have two TA's, that's the first I'm hearing about this." Spoke the model.
At least she was able to speak, I on the other hand could not.
"Ms. Acker, if this seems to be a problem then I can easily find someone else, I'm sure Ms. McLarin would do fine by herself for about a week or two. "said Nicholas.
I unconsciously smiled. This man is weird, he makes me happy at times, but then I realize what a jerk he is which results in me disliking him again. And all in the span of knowing him for roughly 20 minutes.
"No that's not what I meant, I didn't mean to offend you, but what I was trying to say is that a little heads up could have been nice." The model spoke clearly.
I agreed with the model, you can't just hire two TA's and let us know when we arrive to our first day of work. Nicholas' face didn't show any sign of regret or remorse, instead his face was full of arrogance. For a thirty-year-old he looked much younger. I'd even go ahead and say he looks three years younger making him pass for a 27-year-old. After fully observing his facial features I can sadly admit that he is very handsome, hot even, if I dare say it. I snapped out of my thoughts as soon as his deep voice spoke.
"Was it wrong for me not to let you both know in advance? Possibly, will we move on from it? I'd like to."
I shook my head in agreement as a response. "Yeah, I'd like that too, so how is this class period going to work, will our work load be cut in half?" I asked.
As I said that Nicholas had a conniving smirk on his face. What's up with that?
"Let's just say by the end of this month you both won't have to worry about splitting the work load." Nicholas said.
What did he mean by that? Confusion was clear on my face but apparently model understood him as her face was that of horror
"You are going to get rid of one of us!" She exclaimed.
Damn You Nicholas Donovan
