Chapter 1: World turned upside down

At the beginning of the week Alyssa Jamerson was a bored assistant for an even more boring and sexist government official with no power. Now she was Anthea James, Mycroft Holmes' mysterious assistant with twelve times more power than all her previous employers combined. And to think all these changes happens in the space of an hour.
It was a Monday morning, around ten o'clock, and Alyssa had the mother of all hangovers. Her boss was being particularly sexist and handsy today and she was 1 comment away from screwing the possible assault charges and breaking his nose anyway. She was halfway through a candy crush level on her outdated computer when the outer office doors slam open and in walks the most intimidating man she had ever seen. He was tall, silent and wearing a pristine grey three pice suit with blue accents. Every detail of him screamed important, arrogant genius and it intrigued her to no end. He slowly walked in twirling a wooden handled umbrella about like he owned the place and looking with the most analytical stare known to man.
"hello my dear, is Mr Froke able to grace me with his presence today?" The mystery man said as he stopped infront of her desk. Alyssa didn't even try to hide the fact that she was playing candy crush as she got up and walked towards the door gesturing for him to follow her. Alyssa opened the door and waited for the man in the suit to enter first before she followed in behind him. "sir theres someone here to see you."
"ah, thank you miss Jamerson" Mr Froke then proceeded to get up and walk around the other side of his desk. Mr Froke extended his hand to the mystery man "hello Mr Holmes, pleasure to finally meet you." Mr Holmes looked down at Mr Frokes hand with disgust and scoffed. Alyssa broke out into a huge grin and started to laugh inwardly as she watched her boss' face turn red with embarrassed. "Coffee! Now!" Mr Froke said staring at Alyssa. Her face went back to neutral as she replied with a slightly venomous "yes sir." And exited the room in order to go and make the coffee. When she returned the two men were exactly where they had been ten minutes ago, which she deemed as odd, and were just finishing up their conversation. She brought the coffee over to her boss' desk and then proceeded to try and get away as fast as possible, but apparently he had other ideas as he grabbed her arm just before she could leave. "Alyssa" he whispered getting his slimy mouth very close to her ear, which she defiantly didn't like "how about after I'm done here we lock the office door and have a little chat" that's it. That was so it. Three weeks of dealing with this grotesque pig and she was ready to commit murder. In a very calm voice she turned to him and said "with the least amount of respect possible sir, I've had just about as much as I can take with your groping and inappropriate remarks. I would rather spend my every waking hour with a complete asshole than let you lay a finger on me. I quit" she said as she turned around and started to walk out but as she did so she nodded towards the other man in the room "Mr Holmes"

"Miss Jamerson" he nodded back. As soon as the girl was out of the room Mycroft Holmes turned towards Mr Froke "well Mr Froke, I'm afraid I have to agree with miss Jamerson, you are an insufferable imbecile who can't get anything right. Expect your termination notice in an hour, good day" and with that Mycroft turned towards the door and begun to walk out.

On the way out he stopped in front of Alyssa's desk while she was packing up her things "miss Jamersom your skills and intelligence where obviously being wasted here judging by the enormous amounts of puzzle games on your computer and I'm in dire need of a competent personal assistant, so if you deem it a worthy experience I would like to offer you a job." Alyssa was slightly shocked to say the least, she was completely willing and prepared to just walk out of here and go and find a job at McDonalds. Mycroft obviously sensing her shock and apprehension added with that bored tone of his "we could always start with a trial day and see if your willing to take on the enormous workload." Alyssa was speechless this creepy smart guy had basically just read her mind, she was defiantly going to take this job even if it was just to get an insight in to the life of this ominous government worker. "It would be my pleasure sir." She said choosing not to extend her hand, learning from her old boss's mistakes. She almost saw a shift in the mans neutral mask as he plastered on a fake smile and said goodbye " good, I'll have my driver pick you up outside your house at 6:30am, make sure your ready by then." And with that he just strolled out of the office.

When Alyssa got back to her flat her roommate Max was already home, Max was a lieutenant in the British army and had only been home for three months. Alyssa and Max had been good friends since there uni days and had shared some sort of accommodation since they both graduated 5 years ago. "Oh my god that's awesome Aly I'm glad you finally told that creep to go do one!" Alyssa started laughing as Max was trying to cram another slice of pizza into his mouth. "I didn't tell him to go do one Max, if I had I doubt I would've gotten offered another job offer"

"WAIT! WHAT? You never said anything about another job offer, I thought I was gonna have to pay for your expensive shopping habit again" Alyssa picked up both plates and took them to the sink "HA HA very funny, and by the way going clothes shopping once every two months is not a 'expensive shopping habit'" Max just stared at her giving her that 'we both know you go shopping way more than that' look."anyway" Alyssa said trying to change the subject as quickly as possible "yeah this creepy genius guy that was in the room when I quit walked out and offered me a job. To be honest I thought I was gonna have to get a job a McDonald's" and with that Max started laughing and raised his glass "to creepy smart guy" Alyssa smiled and touched her glass to Max's "to creepy smart guy

Oh, only if either of them knew.
