This is my first Ugly Betty fic, and my first oneshot. I made this because basically we don't really get that much of a perspective on how Betty and Daniel's enemies really think of Betty.

I don't own Ugly Betty.

Wilhelmina

I hate that girl.

Her good points (for me): she's naïve, and clueless about this business.

Her bad points (again for me): she's smart and absolutely devoted to Daniel.

You'd think I would have booted her out of that office from day 1, along with her incompetent boss. I don't know where I went wrong. I've handled people like this before, I mean, I nearly have Alexis Meade following my every suggestion. And she still thinks that she's acting on her own. I'm just stringing her along. Waiting for the right moment to strike.

But Betty is Betty, and she somehow found the weak spot in Daniel's armor, which surprisingly isn't woman. I was astounded when she came back after the first week and then next…………. And suddenly, she and Daniel are friends. She works with him out of pleasure, not fear, as Marc does. That's not the way an assistant and boss are supposed to be, they're breaking all the rules.

Every rule that was ever made sacred, and most of them invented by me. They brake the rules about beauty, fashion….. At least Betty does, Daniel just stands back and watches it happen. It's like watching a train wreak.

The only thing she has that I haven't seen from any employee, as embarrassed as I am to say this, is this friendship or love for her boss, or……I don't know how to explain it.

But it's the only thing that I can't win over. It's the one thing that kept Betty from betraying Daniel. The one thing that keeps her Daniel's assistant. The one thing that makes her come back after she's suffered utter humiliation at MODE. And I don't have it, so I can't use it against her.

I hate that girl.


Alexis

I'll admit that when she came back after the first day, a small twinge of doubt appeared in my mind, but I managed to shove it aside. The first month……the twinge began to grow, and soon earned a small thought from time to time. After 3 months the twinge had grown into a full blown headache. Which was what she became.

I originally had a plan to transform her into a beauty, and then take her as my assistant when Wilhelmina told me how fond Daniel was to her. But Willy advised against it, saying she was a untransformable beauty, and that she had already tried bribing her, but it didn't work.

This was beyond belief. Who would be loyal to my scum-bag brother? I made a mental note that if Daniel was still around by the time I got back to MODE then I would observe those two endlessly.

And I have. For the past many weeks, I have come close to the point of stalking them. And I still don't know why they are so close. It's a chemistry, not of love, but friendship.

Amazing, the one girl with a heart in the fashion world and she has to be my brother's assistant.

I hope you liked it, because pretty soon I'll be coming out with a story that will be centered around a new character of mine. A few facts about her is that her name is Iriel, she's the half sister of 2 people in the Mode building, she adores Betty AND Amanda and …………she's only 14. This is situation is going to be uglier than Betty.
