Chapter 16
Gabriel
Walking back to my office, I see my assistant in the employee break room. “Katya?”
“Yes, Gabriel?” she says as she walks in step with me back to my office.
I wish she’d call me Mr. Parker. Using my first name is unprofessional––too comfortable. “Please forward my list of events for this week to Lexie.” Like I asked you to this morning. I don’t say that aloud. I don’t need a surly Katya to deal with today.
“Of course, Gabriel. I’ll get right on that.” When we reach her desk, she says, “Oh, I almost forgot. Here are the booklets for the meeting this afternoon. Sorry, it took me so long to get them done, I’ve beensobusy.”
She emphasizes ‘so’ a little too much. Since I know she isn’t the one who made the copies; it makes me wonder what else she’s had other people do for her. “Oh? You copied these? Today?”
“Yes. Of course.”
Wow, I don’t know why I didn’t see it before, but Katya is full of shit.
