Here is a new Percabeth story. Remember that this is AU and I don't think that this is how the characters actually are.
Enjoy!

Percy closed his laptop and leaned back in his chair. Man, it had been a long week of 'working.' He couldn't wait to go out with Jeff and Sam tonight. It had been a long time since his last trip to the bar down on Call Street.
"Isabelle!" Percy called.
The short blonde appeared in the door. "Yes?" She looked annoyed.
"You want to go grab me a snack from the vending machine?" Percy smiled coyly, hoping he could seduce her again.
"No!" she exploded. "You hired me as your secretary but all I've been doing is running your errands for you. I'm done! I quit!"
She turned around and started gathering up her stuff off her desk. Percy hurried over to her.
"Isabelle," he put a hand on her shoulder.
"No, Percy. I'm out of here," she glared at him. Grabbing her purse and a folder, she stalked over to the elevator.
"Crap," Percy muttered.
Jeff, hearing the commotion, stuck his head out of the office next door. "What was that?"
"Secretary's gone," Percy explained and walked back into his office. Hopefully Isabelle would come back around. Although she had gotten furious at him before, it had never been this bad.
Whatever.
On Monday, Isabelle didn't show up for work. Not on Tuesday, or Wednesday either. Percy, not ever working one full, hard day in his life, didn't know what to do with all the phone calls he was receiving and all the mail he was getting. Sure, he was CEO of Waveshift Inc., but he hadn't gotten there because of his hard-working abilities.
Thursday morning, Percy got to the office early (10:00am) and typed up a flyer that said:
Secretary Position Open
at Waveshift Inc.
Must have at least 15+ years of experience and willing to work for the CEO himself. Call (732)-477-8121 if interested.
Feeling satisfied with himself, Percy printed the flyer and asked one of his employees to hang them up everywhere and email them to important people.
The next day, Percy had scheduled twenty interviews. Man, people were anxious to work for him!
The first interview went okay. The interviewee was a pretty brunette but she didn't have any experience. Percy dismissed her and crossed her name off the list. The next guy was probably seventy years old. Percy felt bad but crossed his name off, too.
Person after person, nobody stood out to Percy. Panic started to settle over him… what if nobody was skillful enough for Percy's taste? He needed someone that could actually do the job because he had no clue what the secretary was supposed to do.
The last interviewee was a strikingly beautiful woman, wearing a formal skirt and blouse with her blonde hair tied back tightly.
"Hello, I'm Annabeth," she stuck out her hand.
"And I'm Percy, nice to meet you," he replied.
Through out the interview, Percy was hypnotized by her beauty. He didn't hear anything she said. He was paying attention to her perfect cheekbones and bright eyes. Her eyes were a startling grey, which Percy found very attractive. She didn't seem to be wearing much makeup; her intensely gorgeous looks seemed natural.
He zoned back in when she said, "And that's all."
"Perfect," Percy said. "You can have the job."
"Really? But I have no experience, sir," Annabeth looked confused.
"Eh, you'll be fine. Show up here tomorrow at ten." He put a hand on her shoulder.
"Thank you," Annabeth said, obviously grateful. "And I'll earn $100 an hour?"
"Sure." Percy could care less about how much he was going to pay to be with her five days a week.
As Annabeth walked out of his office, Percy couldn't help but noticing her perfectly shaped body. Yeah, it might have been a little risky hiring her, but Percy wanted a woman like her working with him five days a week.
Jeff walked into his office as Annabeth left. He wolf-whistled.
"Is that your new secretary?" he asked.
"Yeah," Percy grinned, satisfied with his choice.
"If she becomes your new girly-friend, you're going to have to call that redhead up and tell her you guys are done. Forever," Jeff pointed out.
Percy sighed. He had a messed up relationship with a waitress named Rachel who worked at his favorite bar. They had been together for quite some time, but they just fell apart when Rachel caught Percy with another girl. Percy couldn't help that he got bored of her. But last Friday, Rachel was working again and Percy was feeling up to a fun night…
"I'm not done with Rachel yet," Percy replied.
Jeff laughed and ran a finger through his already spiked up hair. "You're a player."
"And you're not?"
"Touché, touché."
And with that, Percy left the office for the night. He was looking forward to spending more time with Annabeth, and winning over her heart. She seemed like a strong, confident, businesswoman, but Percy's charms never failed. Why would she be the exception?
