After Work Hours
https://youtu.be/NRDBtKe6hyE
M'J was thankful that her boss gave her some time. She took a quick shower and wore something a bit more comfortable. She kissed her dog and sat at the kitchen island eating toast she left before taking a shower.
She looks at her clock, "I still have an hour." she murmurs. She looks at the sky and it was already starting to get a bit dark.
Samantha and Emily walk through the door talking to one another, "Hey." They both say.
Samantha observes Mj's clothing, "You heading out?"
"Yeah i'm working late hours tonight. Im meeting my boss back at work within the hour." MJ adds as she finishes her toast.
"It seems like the job is working out...." Emily says as she crosses her arms.
"It is... Don't get me wrong there are times where it's tough but my boss seems to be overall pleased with my work so. He is treating me to dinner too so it must be a good sign."
Emily didn't look please, "Seriously? What boss does that?"
MJ grabs her things, " A boss that thinks his secretary is doing a good job." Emily doesn't say anything in response.
Mj pokes the area where her eyebrows furrow, "Don't make that face, You'll get more wrinkles."
Emily grabs Mj's wrists and brings it down to her side, "Stop."
"Im off. I should back a little bit after 9:15." She walks out leaving both Emily and Samantha in the apartment.
"Well its good her job is going well..." Samantha says as she rests on the couch.
"A little too well if you ask me." She considered maybe not sharing the rules with her. Maybe that would teach her a lesson.
"Why are you like this? You are always so critical when it comes to her. Isn't that the reason why you broke up?"
Emily sighs, "Something like that. Apparently I made her miserable. I just don't understand why she always have to go against the grain."
Samantha sighs, "Easy for you to say... The world is set up for alphas."
Emily groans, "Not you too. Do you guys take your Alpha hate on me or something?"
"Absolutely not. But you forget that you are privileged everything is handed out to you on a silver plater."
"I work hard for what I have!" Emily says annoyed.
"No one said you don't but you can't deny that alphas are given more opportunities to prove themselves. Even omegas struggle to find job and its very frustrating when all you see listed jobs are for alphas." Emily doesn't say anything, "But even an omega such as I can see that I have privilege that even MJ doesn't get. So instead of criticizing her, I always uplift her. "
"Even when she is doing wrong?"
"To whom? An incredibly flawed and bias government?" Samantha asks.
"It's not perfect but it's what we have... and we should follow it."
Samantha sighs, "It's easy to follow something that works for you... Just keep that in mind." Samantha stands up, "I assume the tension and based on our conversation that Mj must have done something that was illegal to get this job?" Emily begins to speak. Samantha raises her hands up, "I don't want to know, but at least be understand what brought her to such lengths." Samantha walks to the door.
"I thought you were staying for dinner?"
Samantha crosses her arms, " I don't feel like it anymore."
Emily reaches out to touch her hand she pulls away immediately, "Unfortunately my mood has been soured."
"Okay."
Samantha opens the front door, "Please consider what I have said." Samantha leaves.
Emily sighs as she sits on the couch in frustration, "When was I the bad guy?"
Meanwhile, Mj steps out of the elevator walking back to her bosses room. She knocks on his door,"Come in."
She walks in to see him still typing on his computer, "Your here. Good, now we can go eat. Where would you like to go?"
"Your letting me choose?"
Mr. Wyatt stands up, "Yeah..i'm curious where you will take me."
"I haven't made any reservations anywhere and it's getting late..." She says pondering. "Hold on. I know of a place we go."
"Give the receptionist the address. We can take my car."
They both head into the elevator, She glances at his attire. "Would you like me to get you something more comfortable?"
"No i'm okay."
The elevator door opens and they walk out to an already waiting driver. They both get in and drive to the location.
Mj sits quitely as the driver drives them the location, "Have you been seriously working all evening?" She whispers to him.
"Of course... Im COO for a reason..." He answers. Mj looks out the window thinking on his words. "But we are taking a break now. We won't discuss work at dinner." He continues.
"Then why are we going to dinner?" Mj asks curiously as they walk inside and find their seat.
"To get to know each other better. You are my personal assistant its best to know what you can about me and I you.
"So this is work..." Mj says she grabs the menu.
Mr. Wyatt smirks, " This is a good choice. I feel like i'm over dressed."
"I did offer getting you something more comfortable."
"Indeed you did. I will consider it next time."
"Oh so there will be a next time?"
He chuckles, "Are you planning on leaving Heirlock anytime soon?"
She shifts, "Not if i can help it."
"Hello welcome, What can i get started for you?" asks the waiter.
"I'll take a water please." Mj starts.
"I'll take an old fashioned. Ms. Prescott please feel free to order a drink."
"Then i'll also take a Classic margarita with salted rim."
"On it." The waiter leaves, "I'll be back once you have a moment to look on the menu."
"So Ms. Prescott, were did you work prior to taking a job with us?"
" I worked at Norman Tech."
"Thats a very prestigous company also going through some legality issues. Why did you leave?"
MJ can't share she was let go, " I disagreed with how they handled their employees."
"Yes, they let go hundreds of betas... It's a shame."
"You are against it?"
"People need to work to live. I found out that they were loosing money so they were making budget cuts and they decided to let all the betas go."
"If your so against it, why don't Heirlock hire betas? It's practically all alpha." Mj asks.
"Im not entirely sure. My father has more to do with that than i do. I never particularly minded if i worked with betas. A lot of them are hard workers some even more than alphas."
"You never considered hiring positions soley for betas? I mean it doesn't have to be an enormous amount."
"You are really passionate about betas."
"Im passionate about equality." She clears her throat, "Im sorry."
"Why are you apologizing? You are right. There should be some balance."
The waiter puts the drinks down, "Thanks." Mj smiles.
"But what i am more curious about who you are."
She laughs, "Me?"
"Anyone thats stands up to my brother is worth noting."
"Why? Am i like the only one whose done that."
He takes a sip of his drink, "Yeah."
Her eyes widened, "Seriously?"
"They are terrified of my brother." He laughs, "They generally don't say anything."
"And they call themselves Alphas." She mutters. She looks at him chuckling to himself. "Can I speak candidly?"
"Of course. We are off the clock."
"Your brother is an ass."
Mr. Wyatt nearly choked on his drink. Mj grabs him a napkin so he can wipe his mouth, "I don't think I have ever heard anyone say that out loud."
"Why is he so focused on sabotaging you?"
"He wants my job and he thinks he can do it better. Plain and simple. My job comes with a lot of perks. One of them eventually being CEO one day. "
"I see... I can see why anyone would want to throw you under the bus. It shouldn't be that way though he should be focused on helping the company no his own selfish ambition."
"I think thats the least alpha thing you said." Her heart starts rising, " What alpha would put away their own pride and not pursue more?" He adds.
"I guess... but i guess wouldn't know. I don't have much family let alone any to go into business with."
"You don't visit your parents?"
"My... Parents aren't around..."
He realizes, "Oh. Im sorry."
"It's fine. You didn't know. I don't feel anything about it. It's just what it is...." She glances at him trying manage thee awkward moment he just created, "Do you usually do this with your assistants?"
He smirks, "No. I actually don't." She grabs her margarita and sips it. "Even after almost two weeks. You are one the best assistants I had. While your trial period has only begun, I can tell you i'm already pleased with your work."
"Thanks... I really appreciate that."
"Also, to prepare because this month is going to be some late hours. We need them to accept our offer. No matter what."
" Don't worry. You will get it."
"We will get it." He emphasized as he raises his glass she raises her and clings it with his.
"This was nice." MJ says. " Keep taking me out like this and I'll have to work harder."
He smirks and continues his drink.
