Seeing the new intern shiver in fear as Mr. Maslow asked him simple questions about his life made me glad that I never had to deal with James Maslow and his obnoxious face. There was something about James that people found threatening, if you would ask me I would say just his presence around me is enough to make me want to smack the shit out of him. James Maslow, although beautiful, was the biggest asshole to ever walk this building.

"Now please become accustomed with your desk," I could hear James' annoying voice as he opened the door and let the new intern enter before he did. I sat up straight and started to look through my e-mails. "You will be sitting across Mr. Schmidt here." James placed a hand on my desk as he pointed over to the empty desk across from mine. How dare he put his dirty hands on my desk…I just disinfected it!

"O-ok Mr. Maslow sir," The tone of his voice and his posture made him look like a lost puppy as he sat down and placed paperwork onto his new desk.

"Now Mr. Carlos Pena…" James started as he flipped through a couple of pages clipped onto the clipboard. Pssh, look at him trying to look like he knows what he is doing. I couldn't help but roll my eyes as I stared at the computer screen in front of me. "Mr. Schmidt?"

Damn it. I put on a fake smile and looked up to face my boss, "Yes sir?"

"I'm leaving Mr. Pena in your care." A sly smirk came across the bastards face as he walked over towards his office. This asshole! He knows that I have a monthly purchase order report due tomorrow.

"Mr. Maslow, sir," I began, trying to hold back the anger in my voice. "with all due respect, I have a report due tomor-"

"Well if you had worked on it instead of daydreaming in front of a computer screen all last week you would have it done by now."

"Y-yes sir, but-"

"End of discussion Schmidt." He cut me off as he opened the two giant doors that lead to his office. The ass turned his back towards me and entered his office "I expect Mr. Pena to know his duties by the end of the day. Have a nice day Mr. Schmidt." And without another word he shut the doors behind him.

I clenched my fist and took a deep breath before looking over to Carlos. He looked rather scared. Maybe because he just witnessed how ruthless our boss could be. I flashed him a smile and pulled out a file from my desk, "Nice to meet you Carlos, my name is Kendall. I hope we can become good friends," I held my hand out for him to shake.

A smile formed on his lips as he stood up and walked over to shake my hand. How rude of me, I made the new guy get up to shake my hand…that I held out in the first place. He seemed to calm down a little as he sat back down, "N-nice to meet you Kendall! I'm hoping so too! With a boss like him…I feel like I'll need a friend at the office."

I paused and stared at him for a bit. How long exactly was he planning on staying here? Nobody has been able to last with Mr. Maslow for longer than two months, except for me of course. But I started working here when his mother was the CEO of the company, so I have technically been here longer than James has. I chuckled as I tossed him a packet of paperwork, "Yeah, Mr. Maslow isn't the friendliest of people." Carlos nodded but looked confused as I handed him the paperwork, "Oh I'm sorry Carlos. I know you have already filled out paperwork with Human Resources, but Mr. Maslow needs you to fill this stack of papers out."

Carlos raised an eyebrow as he skimmed through the pages. I gave him a minute to look it over because almost every new intern is always confused with the extra papers they would have to fill out. "Seriously? What is this?"

"Mr. Maslow has the strict policy…I don't really know why but he makes all his employees fill out this stack of papers."

"But why?"

"I wouldn't ask questions if I were you…three interns before you, we had to fire the guy two hours after he was hired because he refused to sign any more paperwork that wasn't issued by H.R." I couldn't help but chuckle to see how quickly Carlos' expression changed as he started filling in the blanks. I couldn't put my finger on it…but I would say James had trust issues with his employees.

It was finally five minutes til' five o'clock. Five minutes away from going home, taking my slacks off, and having a binge Netflix session of Orange is the new black. I logged off of my computer and stretched my arms as the manila folder with the finished purchase reports sat on my desk.

"Finally we can go home after a long day huh Kendall?" Carlos spoke as he tapped on his desk with a couple of pens.

"Yeah," I smiled as I crossed my arms over my chest. Luckily for me, Carlos was a fast learner and he even helped me finish my report on time. Now all that was needed to be done was hand the report over to James. "so how did you like your first day Carlos?"

Carlos shrugged, "It was ok, I guess, but thanks to you it wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be. Literally, I was thinking to myself 'Carlos, what have you gotten yourself into?' when Mr. Maslow started giving me the talk about the office…" We both burst into a fit of laughter as the time neared five.

"I'm sorry you had such a horrible first day, I know…Mr. Maslow is an asshole, but look at the bright side…."

"….go on! I'm waiting to hear the bright side!" Carlos said eagerly as I tried to come up with something in my head.

"…well we make Mr. Maslow look good…and smart." We both started laughing again before I stood up and grabbed the folder on my desk. "Well I better go give this to Mr. Maslow. I'll see you tomorrow," I waved good bye to Carlos as he started for the elevator.

I took a deep breath before knocking on James' doors. There was no answer. I knocked again, and still no answer. He was probably having office sex with one of his office sluts, and I did not want to walk into that scene. I knocked one last time before sliding the file under his door and turned around to leave, I shivered in disgust as I walked. How could all these pretty girls that work here even want to sleep with a douche bag like James Maslow.

"Mr. Schmidt!" His voice called from the other side of the doors, making me stop and turn around. I walked over to the door and knocked again. "Schmidt…come in here please."

Oh no…gross! I shook the nasty images out of my head as I turned the door knob. "Yes sir?" I asked peeking my head through the open doors, and there he stood in front of his desk. No girl or smell of sweat and shame either. Thank goodness.

"Why is there a folder on the floor?" He leaned his back against his desk as he placed his hands in his pockets and crossed his right leg over his left. The tone of voice he was using…I could already tell I was going to have to hold myself back from punching the son of a bitch. He motioned for me to come in and waited for my response.

"I'm sorry sir I was not sure if you were still here or not an-" I began to explain myself but he cut me off. Again. Asshole.

"You were not sure? Schmidt…did you see me leave my office since lunch?" He stood there, with a firm expression on his face.

"W-well no, but-"

"But nothing Schmidt. Even if I wasn't here what am I going to do with a file that's lying on the floor?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Maslow," I said with clenched teeth. "I just thought that I would slip them in so you could have a look at the report whenever you had a chance."

"And why would I look through something I found on the floor Mr. Schmidt? Is that what you do when you find something on the floor? You look through it or inspect it?"

Seriously? This ass really knew how to push my buttons. "No sir, I just thought you weren't here and that the office might be locked an-"

"I didn't hear you trying to open the door."

"Well that was because I heard no response when I knocked an-"

"Next time just come in, anything you want me to look at you best place it on my desk." He walked over and sat behind his desk. He then held his hand out and stared at me with a hard to read expression. "Now hand it over, this will be the last time I accept anything that has been on the floor."

It took everything I had to keep myself from kicking his ass, but I was months away from getting a promotion and I couldn't screw that up. I picked the manila folder, walked over to his desk, and hand him the file. "I'm sorry sir…it won't happen again."

He didn't say anything he just opened the folder and started looking through the report. I took that as a chance to leave before he opened his mouth again. I turned around and started for the door when he spoke. "Wait!" I froze and turned around slowly.

"Y-yes Mr. Maslow sir?"

He tossed the file aside and stood up to grab his briefcase, "These are unacceptable."

Excuse me? I shrugged any bad thoughts in my head and looked at him with a confused expression. "What do you mean unacceptable sir?"

James slid on his coat and let out a annoyed sigh, "I mean…I will not accept these. Make them like Jennifer did when she worked here,"

I shook my head in disbelief, which Jennifer could he possibly be talking about? We've had three working here in the last year, and none lasted more than three months. It had to be the blonde one, she had a knack for Microsoft office. Either way…how could I possibly make them like she did?! "B-but sir why can't you accept these? They have the same information like Jennifer's reports did."

"They aren't neat like Jennifers."

They aren't neat? Seriously?! This man…this man was the devil. I stood there speechless as he walked past me and over towards the elevator.

"I expect the reports ready by tomorrow morning." The elevator doors opened and James walked in and turned to me as he pushed a button. "Same format as Jennifer's last three reports. Have a nice night Mr. Schmidt." And the elevator doors closed as he flashed a smile my way.

I crumpled the papers in the file as I walked over to my desk and powered the computer on. Looks like I had a long night ahead of me…and I do not get paid over time. Just my luck; I have the world's shittiest boss and he hates me. That mother fucker hated me. There was no other explanation.

Ok, so the story is kind of picking up slowly….but it's just the first chapter. :D I'll be switching from Kendall and James' point of view every chapter. So next chapter will be from James' p.o.v. :3 Expect some Kames love in the near future. ;3
