Jaysen was going over taxes. It was so exciting. That was sarcasm. He was glaring down at some taxes in his hands, rolling his eyes occasionally and firing one of his assistants for spending $100,000 on a shirt. He sucked in a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He sighed and went back to the paperwork, finishing it quickly he stood. Walking to his door and walking out, he walked to the elevator and pushed the button, waiting for the elevator he spots Melanie. "Hey Mel. How are you?" He asks her, easeily. As they had been friends for a while. "I'm good, overwhelmed but good." Jaysen gave her a concerned look. She did look overwhlemed. Bags under her eyes, she looked tired. "What's overwhelming you?" He asks her softly. "Ah, just some of my work. The head is assigning me a sh!t ton." She tells him. His eyes twitches and he calls for her Head. He comes over, confidently. "Yes sir?" He asks calmly. "Your fired." He says simply. His confidence drops in an instint. "WHAT? YOU CAN'T FIRE ME!?" He shouts at Jaysen. Jaysen rolls his eyes. "Just did. Be out by noon or I will have security remove you." He adds calmly, lightly pushing Melanie into the elevator with him. Melane looks, well, shocked. "Why did you do that!?" She asks him. He smiles a little. "He was over-working you. You already do so much. So, go home, get some rest, then tomorrow you can continue." He tells her, lightly taking the files she was carrying. She looks atthe grown with a soft smile. "If I didn't know you better I'd think you'd like me." She says jokingly. Jaysen laughed at that, walking out of the elevator with her. "Want to go get donuts?" He asked. She nods, then seemed to remeber something. "You should come by today or tomorrow. Danny wants to see you." She says with a smile on her feautres. He smiles and nods. "I think I will, I need a break to." He drawls tiredly.

Ryan heard voices as the elevator went up, he looked up at the ceiling, nervous about the job. He was going to try his best to do well on this new job and hopefully make a good impression. The elevator dinged and opened up. Ryan checked to make sure it was the correct floor before exiting the elevator. He made his way past many offices before he made his way to the small office desk for him. He sat down and placed his things on the desk. He took a deep breath and turned the computer on. He tried to sign in but it told him his password was incorrect. He typed it in again and it allowed him in. He opened a folder and took out some of the paperwork and began reading over it. He was very focused on the work in fromt of him that he'd not notice if anyone left or came.

Melanie had told Jaysen there was a new employee which surprised him since. "I didn't hire anyone Mel." He told her flatly. She shrugs. "Maybe go see him anyway." She says, finishing her donut and standing up. "Bye Jay, see you tomorrow." She says walking out the door. Jaysen shakes his head amused and strolls out of the office to. Getting back to the office he remembers Mel telling him, "He's on the 40th floor. It is a male and hes supposed to be pretty good." She had told him. He steps into the elevator and presses the button. Once he arrives at the floor he strolls to the guys desk. As soonas he see's him, he freezes. Even if they hadn't seen each other in years, Jaysen would never forget the face, of his best friend/crush. He grimaced and turned around walking to his office and shutting the door behind him. he sat at his desk and stared out the window. -God... Why'd it have to be him?- He questions. Taking in the beautiful view from his desk. Edited at December 8, 2023 10:01 AM by Oakwood Barn

Ryan was so busy and occupied with his work that he didn't notice a guy strolling up to his desk. He jumped when he heard a door slam shut. Did someone already hold a grudge against him? He hasn't been here even a day yet! Ryan sighed, rubbing his temples. He looked at the clock that hung on the wall closest to him. He smiled when it showed twelve o'clock, that meant it was his lunch break. Taking his lunch bag from ontop of his desk, Ryan stood up and looked around. He noticed a sign pointing left with the words cafeteria written on it. Following the sign, Ryan walked into the cafeteria. Looking around for a quiet spot to eat, he found an open table and sat down. He pulled out his lunch from his lunch bag and placed it on the table.

Jaysen's anger had sprouted out of no where. He sighed. He was about to walk out when another of his friends, Riley, ran up to him. She leans over catching her breath. "Yes?" He asks her, irritablly. "Y-your assistant- s-spent 500,00-" She doesn't get a chance to finish. "WHAT!?" He yells, He pushes past her and storms to the elevator. Getting to the cafeteria he storms over to the assistant. "Your fired." He says angrily. The assiatant looks shocked then starts crying. Jaysen didn't care. "You have until noon." He tells her. He turns on his heel and hears murmuring behind him. He didn't care. He walked back up to his office and shut the door behind him. He plopped himself down in his chair. -Why the fvck do they all do that? They aren't even supposed to use my money.- He growls and rests his head in his arm. Glasses off and on the table. He sucked in a sharp breath and lets it out slowly.

Ryan was peacefully eating his mac and cheese when he heard what seemed like an argument. He didn't hear very much except for a very loud yell. He flinched slightly and looked over. His eyes widened when he saw his old friend from school. He then looked away pretending he didn't recognize him. He heard him tell another that they were fired. Was he the boss of this company? He didn't know how to feel. He didn't remember the Jaysen he knew in school. He remembered how they talked about their common interests and often spent time hanging out. He never remembered Jaysen ever having a temper like this. He looked at his mac and cheese, refusing to lift his eyes up. He took another bite of his lunch and thought over the events that just occurred.

Jaysen couldn't do it. he had so much built up stress it was being let out in anger. He sucks in a deep breath and walks over to Riley. "Ri, If anyone asks whre I am. I am taking a break." He tells her. She nods, "God knows you need one" she murmurs. He nods to her gratefully and he walks out. He walks to his car, getting in and driving to Mel's house. He picks up some flowers and a new stuffed bear on his way their. He knocks on the door. Mel opens it and smiles. "Nice to see you came. I was thinking it was going tobe later in the day but your always welcome." She say, ushering him in. He spots daniel and kneels down, before sitting on the floor with the 6 year old. He hand him the teddy bear and he looks up at Jaysen. "UNCLE J!" He sheriks standing up and hugging him. "Hey buddy. How have you been?" Jaysen asked, picking up the boy clinging to his teddy bear. "Good! I been having fun with Mommy! And wook! I wost a toofh!" He smiles and nods."Did you get money from the tooth fairy for it?" Jaysen ask him walking to the kitchen behind Mel. "Yeah! I gwot money!!" He says happily. Jaysen smiles and sets him down. Mel smiles and pats him on the head, beginning to make him a PB and J. Jaysens eyes brighten at his nephew who was hugging the teddy bear tightly now. - (Mel and Jaysen aren't related they are just REALLY good friends) Edited at December 8, 2023 01:19 PM by Oakwood Barn

Ryan was enjoying his lunch, munching away. He pulled out his phone and began to scroll through photos of his two cats- Sybil and Cooper. Sybil was a rescue, found abandoned in a box in an alleyway as a baby. He was quite the large catc likely having some main coon in his blood. He wasn't DNA tested ever though, so his pedigree is unknown. Cooper was gifted to Ryan as a eighteenth birthday present. He is a ragdoll cat with large bright eyes. Ryan smiled looking at the photos. The two always made him happier.

Jaysen felt a lot better after visiting Melanie and Danny. He loved them a lot. He walked back into the office with 3 boxes of donuts. He sets them in the lounge room and walks out. Back to Riley. "Hey, could you announce I put donuts in the lounge room? And to help yourself." He tells her. She nods with a smile. He smiles back and walks into his office, stretching and sitting down at his computer. He starts to go through files and finishing his work for the day, and maybe even the week.

Ryan finished his lunch and was about to head back, but he heard their were donuts in the lounge. Ryan went over to the lounge and took a donut and took a bite. He finished eating the donut and started to head back to his desk. He didn't notice that he accidentally left his phone on the lounge table. No one could get in as it was fingerprint locked, but they could see the Lock Screen was of his two cats. Hopefully he'd notice later or someone find and return it to him.
