Scott was crossing his arms. It even felt strange for me seeing him like that. He looked like the kind of guy that hated being angry with the others. Well, who doesn't?
"Vincent! I told you Mia was starting today! Why were you in the room while she was..." He looked almost embarrassed.
"It isn't a big deal, Scott" I cleared my throat. The two looked at me.
"Yeah listen to her, it's not a big deal Scotty" repeated Vincent with a smirk.
The three of us were once again at the office. Scott was sitting again in his chair, right behind the desk, and Vincent, as he seemed to be called, and I were in front of him.
"No, Vincent...! I know you have done this on purpose!" Scott continued "I should have seen this coming..."
Vincent was a strange guy. I was feeling uncomfortable around him. Besides our first meeting, he seemed to be a… weirdo? He was all purple. No kidding. Like a walking grape. For the clothes I imagined he was the security guard in there - he was wearing a gold badge, with "security" written in there. The only thing that make me a little nervous was that smile. That white smile. He was always smiling.
"You are going to be under my sight all this week" Scott told him "Now more than ever"
"Aww… Come on, Scotty~ I'm your security guard, remember?"
Yeah, Vincent was supposed to watch the children, not be watched by Scott. These two seemed to be into an old fight. How long do they had been working together?
"I'll be watching the kids, if anyone needs me" the grape finally said, standing up from his chair "I'll meet you later, sweetheart~"
I almost jumped of the chair.
"Don't call me that!" I merely shouted at him. Gosh, I hated that sort of people. After that, I turned again to Scott. He was looking at me as if he wanted to apologize.
"I'm really sorry you had to meet him" he told me with a sad face "We are always the same people working in here, but when someone new enters the team, I'm always afraid... "
"Afraid of what?" I asked him. He sighed.
"Look Mia. V-vincent is always hard to deal with. That thing that just happened… Is his normal behaviour...! Every single day. I don't even know how I have grown used to it"
I looked again at the door, right where Vincent had just disappeared.
"Well, putting this aside, you know what to do" Scott was fast changing the subject "If Vincent causes you trouble, here I am"
He tried to put up a smile, but he failed. So I decided to calm him down with one of mines. Seems like that week would be a little harder than planned, I thought. But I wouldn't let anyone keeping me from having a good time in the job.
