00:00I looked up. It was Enzo, the assistant who'd been following Callan earlier.
00:04He seemed to be in a hurry and impatiently pushed me aside.
00:07I wasn't expecting it and stumbled backward.
00:09My knees slammed hard against the edge of a desk.
00:11Pain shot through my leg.
00:13The assistant didn't apologize.
00:14He barely glanced at me before rushing toward our manager.
00:18Excuse me, which one of you is Vanessa Blake?
00:20Mr. Vitale needs to see her.
00:21Vanessa heard that Callan wanted her.
00:23She practically ran over.
00:26I'm Vanessa. I'm Vanessa Blake. What's going on?
00:28The assistant looked her over. His tone became more polite.
00:32There's an opening for a secretary in the executive office.
00:35Mr. Vitale wants you to fill in for a while.
00:37Vanessa froze, then suddenly raised her voice.
00:40The entire office heard her.
00:42Me? Mr. Vitale wants me working directly with him?
00:46He personally asked you to come get me?
00:48The assistant frowned almost imperceptibly, then smiled and nodded.
00:52Yes. Grab your things and come with me.
00:54She couldn't hide her excitement.
00:57I don't really have anything to pack.
00:59I can go now.
01:00Great. Follow me.
01:02Then she deliberately walked past me.
01:04With the disgustingly innocent expression, she said,
01:07Sadie, move.
01:08Mr. Vitale wants me upstairs.
01:10You're in my way.
01:12Keep working.
01:13Maybe you'll get up there in ten years.
01:14I said nothing. Ignoring the throbbing pain in my knee, I quietly stepped aside.
01:19Vanessa strutted off in her heels, happily following the assistant.
01:23Everyone watched her go. The second she was gone, the office exploded.
01:26Okay, is Vanessa going to end up Mrs. Viltieri?
01:29He's obviously into her. He even moved her into his office.
01:32Hey, Sadie, didn't you come in with Vanessa?
01:34What's the deal with her and the boss?
01:36Hearing my name, I forced my emotions down.
01:39My voice was barely audible.
01:40No.
01:41Vanessa went upstairs.
01:43That left me as the only new intern in the department.
01:45My co-workers gossiped about her for a while.
01:48Eventually, they got bored, so their attention shifted back to me.
01:51Sadie, weren't you getting coffee for everyone?
01:53Sadie, I need to pick my son up tonight. Can you finish this for me?
01:56Sadie, I heard you went to a top school. You must be good at this stuff.
01:59Here.
02:00Before long, folders were piled high in front of me.
02:03By the time I finally finished everyone's random work, it was past eight.
02:06I stretched, then finally checked my phone.
