"Well I don't have much going on at the moment but there is one job that you can do..." Tom replied.
"Well, what is that one job then?" I push him. He doesn't sound so certain. I mean... surely he knows what he wants me to do... right? (Not in any dirty way!!!!....yet....)
"I want to know you better" Tom said. It sounded more like a whisper. Like he doesn't want anyone else to know almost. He's standing a few feet away from me but I can feel his warmth, making me feel a little bit more comfortable.
"Alright then."
"Let's play a game. I will ask you a question and you have to answer it, honestly, no matter what. Unless it's really confidential, then whatever. And in return, you can ask me any question you want and the same rules apply to that too. In this way, we would be able to get to know each other and it would be an easier way work with each other. What do you say?"
To be honest, I am a little stunned with that. It's like he had already thought about it and wants to do something he has already thought a lot about. I find it sweet that he's humble and wants to know about me (who's just an assistant), so I agree.
"I know your name and age.... so what do you like to do in your spare time y/n?" Tom said as he sat down in armchair and leaned forward. You sat down on the armchair opposite him.
"This feels like an interview. Ok, so.... I like to watch movies, go out with my friends and I like to bake and draw. I don't really have time to but it's what I do." There was something else I do and it's embarrassing. I mean everybody does it. I do pleasure myself and I'm not lying or anything, I'm just limiting the truth I give out.
"Ok, what do you do in your spare time Mr Holland?"
"Tom. Call me Tom. Not Mr Holland. I like to play around with my brothers and pranking them is one of my best traits obviously. I play golf sometimes and surf too. I go to the gym... I also am a great gymnast. I play with my dog... Tessa. An actual dog... and of course my dick... ok.. I'll stop talking." He replied quickly.
Wow he does a lot of stuff and he plays with his dog... OMG.. ..I need to stop thinking with the dirty side of my mind. GGGGRRRRRRRR.
"Ok, well... umm. Is there anything else you need me to do?" I ask him after an uncomfortable silence.
"At the moment nothing but later, I need you to check out the paperwork my old assistant has left for you to do." Tom replied. "You know what never mind. You can do them tomorrow. You can go home early today."
"Oh. Really? Thank you." I said with pure gratitude. I can finally binge watch the office and other tv shows today.
"One question. Ummm. I know this probably doesn't have anything to do with you but, how do you want me to dress for work?" I ask telling myself that's a stupid question.
"Dress however you want. As long as you're comfortable. You just need to keep in mind that there will be a lot of moving about. We wouldn't stay in the office for more than 2 days max. I get a lot of interview calls and you know things like that."
"Ok. Do you want me to look through schedule tonight so that I can get an idea of what's happening tomorrow and the upcoming events maybe?" I suggest. I can't bingewatch all the time.. I need to work a little.
"Sure I'll email them to you."
-- Time skip --
I drive out of the building thinking about Tom and what could happen in the next few days.
