Disclaimer: I don't own anyone other than Thea.
A/N: Thea is an original character and let's just all pretend that she is also working at Colden Books, and perhaps is an acquaintance of Margaret or Andrew at this point. I suppose this would probaby take place after the movie or is also AU, it depends on how you want to see it.
Caught!
Thea walked briskly towards the executive editor-in-chief's office. She had a bone to pick with her.
Knocking on the door, Thea impatiently waited for her call for her to enter the office. It was several long minutes before she decided she had waited long enough. Thea roughly shoved the door open.
Now, not many things could render Thea speechless. In fact, nothing had ever had her at a loss for words before, but when Thea saw what was happening in the office before her eyes, she was at a complete loss for words.
Margaret Tate - strict, uptight, never-does-anything- wrong, Queen Cold-as-Ice Margaret - had her hair down and was straddling, yes, straddling, Andrew Paxton and looked to be kissing him senseless. Her arms were wrapped around his neck, holding him as close as possible. Andrew's hands had somehow found their way up Margaret's skirt.
Meanwhile, Thea stayed rooted to the spot for what seemed like an eternity, trying to grasp exactly what this event meant. 'Does this mean they're together or does this happen when boredom sets in.' Thea thought confusedly. 'Hmm...probably the first. Although the second one has its perks.'
The moment they realized they had company, Andrew and Margaret jumped apart, seemingly breaking all the Laws of Physics that Thea had not bothered to pay attention to.
"Uh...we...we were just..." Andrew started to say but broke off when he saw the look Margaret was sending him.
Slowly, Thea came out of shock. Looking first at Margaret's dishevelled appearance then to Andrew standing there looking like a child caught eating sweets before dinner then back to Margaret. Realization hit her when she figured out just what this meant.
"Eeeeeeeee!!!" Thea squealed while jumping up and down excitedly. Suddenly she knew what she could do with this new information. She stopped jumping long enough to smile mischievously at the couple before running out of the room.
Margaret turned to send Andrew an exasperated glance before they both bolted for the door after Thea. "Wait!"
