Way Industries

I didn’t sleep at all, I was too scattered too. I was scared shitless that I would be late, or that’d I would screw this opportunity up. I also wasn’t sure if I wanted to know what these “repercussions” he was talking about were. In preparation for my first day I changed my outfit about a thousand times like a teenage girl on her first date. Finally, I gave up and chose a simple white button down, a black tie and black dress pants that I had to admit made my ass look surprisingly good. I toed on some plain black dress shoes and left my tiny apartment at about 6 o’clock. I took the subway into the city. Then before walking to the office, I decided to stop and buy Mr. Way and I coffee, I had to atleast try and make a good impression. I ordered two black coffees for him and I, even though I honestly preferred a bit of sweetener; but I thought that this way If I dropped one or couldn’t distinguish them apart, it was impossible for me to mess up retrieving a simple coffee.

I walked into the lobby and straight to the elevator. No one was in the office yet as I made my way to his. I checked the time and noticed I was early as it was a quarter to seven. I smiled to myself, I was prompt and had made it successfully to his office without flubbing it up. I knocked quietly, and heard a muffled ‘come in.’ He looked up as I walk in and looked surprised to see me before it was quickly covered with a smirk.

“Mr. Iero, your early! Brilliant, Theres a meeting today and I’m going to have to bring you along. I hope you don’t mind, it just came up. Is that coffee, please tell me its coffee.” He eyed the cups in my hands.

I handed him one and he took it with a small grateful smile, “May I ask” I started carefully “Where exactly is this meeting?”

Without looking up from his computer he mumbled "Connecticut.”

"Wow" I breathed out slightly taken aback. Connecticut was pretty far, and I wasn’t even prepared for such a big event. It was only my first day!!

"Problem Iero?" He looked up, his eyes bored into mine.

I dropped my eyes to the floor and stuttered out a quiet "no."

"Good," he returned to sorting through his papers. "We are going to New Haven, to be exact. Its a two hour drive and depending upon how today goes we could be back later tonight. If it doesn't go as planned, well..." he trailed off focusing on something on his computer screen.

"How um how long could it be?" I said nervously shuffling.

He looked up quickly and a smirk spread across his face. "Depends" he shrugged.

"Depends" I nodded slowly, "Oh-Kay. Do I need to go and pack or something?"

"Mr. Iero we need to leave shortly, no time to pack"

"But-"

He cut me off "Mr. Iero we'll talk about butts later." He winked at me then and made his way to the door. My eyes widen and my face flushed as the result of his comment. I really hope he isn’t imply what I think he is. “Coming?” He quirked an eyebrow me with an amused glint to his eyes. I nodded and nearly fell on my face in my haste to catch up with him. He caught my arm and steadied me.

“Careful sweetheart, you don’t want to hurt yourself on your first day.” He removed his hand from my arm and I frowned from the lack of contact and the pet name. Maybe he called everyone sweetheart? I shouldn’t feel special. He held the door open for me and we made our way quietly to the elevator. He stayed close to me in the elevator, hovering. I could feel the heat radiating off of him, and his eyes examining me. I shifted feeling uncomfortable. The elevator couldn’t have slide open sooner. He led me across the marble floors, and through the main door out into the cold New York morning. The wind blew past, and I shivered wrapping my thin coat around me. I really wasn’t thinking this morning when I got dressed.

“Didn’t you bring another coat Frank?” He asked with a disappointed tone. I shook my head and he frowned, looking annoyed with me.

“The car should be here soon, then you can warm up. Looks like we’ll need to buy you a coat when we get there.” He kept his gaze searching through the oncoming traffic.

Ten minutes passed and the car hadn’t shown up. Mr. Way was pissed, he had made about forty calls, to who I assumed was his driver, yelling and cursing them out. I stood shivering, my teeth chattering as his face filled with even more anger. He ignored me for the most of it before, finally glancing my way and taking a double take. He frowned at me.

“Oh go wait in the building, I’ll fetch you when my idiotic driver decides to show up.” He motioned me to go, but I shook my head.

“Mr. Iero, I’m not asking, I’m telling you to go inside. Remember my rules? The first one is what? You do what I say, go before I decide against letting you off this time.” I pouted at him, I didn’t like that he was telling me what to do. I mean he was my boss, but I wasn’t that cold. I mean, my lips weren’t blue yet, hopefully.

“Don’t pout sweetheart it isn’t becoming, go.” He gestured for me to go and I begrudgingly listened and trudged inside. When the heat hit me, I kind of wanted to kiss Mr. Way for requesting, or demanding that I go inside. It was wonderful, but as I was almost done defrosting, Mr. Way was retrieving me and leading me to the black car outside. A man with dark shades on opened the back door for me and I slid in. I watched as Mr. Way closed the door, and verbally assaulted the man in the black suit. He cowered at whatever Mr. Way was scolding him about. He finally dismissed the man with a wave and slid into the seat next to me.

“Sorry for that Frank, are you still cold?” I shook my head. “Good” he nodded. The car made its way into traffic, and Mr. Way was busy with something on his phone. I didn’t have anything to do yet, as he hadn’t exactly tried to ‘train’ me like Miss Bergstrom wanted to do. I sighed and watched the city pass by the tinted windows. It all started to blur together as my eyes began to flutter shut, the sleepless nights finally catching up to me.
