Boring intro: Phew! Chapter 3 is here! I had a busy week, so I'm happy it's up by today. Here's a link for the cubicle map: drawings/d/1ksPLqHboi25VHQRHNZNJWUw_JO13GBDb7odN2owv0G4/edit
Apparently, the last one didn't work…
This chapter's a little bit different. Enjoy!
JON POV
I took a deep breath and prepared to knock, but froze before my hand could make contact with the door. The muffled voices of two women shouting stopped me in my tracks. It sounded like they were having a fierce argument.
Through the door, I could hear them fighting.
"You shut up, Daenerys!"
"You know I'm right."
"Like fuck you are!"
"Then prove me wrong, horse-face!"
I pondered idly on whether I should knock and interrupt them. Would they even hear me? After a short moment of thought, I rapped softly on the door. Immediately, the clamor ceased.
I heard another quieter, indistinct voice. Then the door creaked open. I clutched my briefcase with both hands, trying to look professional. I hoped my face didn't reveal that I had heard them arguing.
The door creaked opened, and my breath hitched.
A slender, petite woman with flaming red hair stood in the door. She stared at me with wide-set blue-grey eyes, like the ocean on a stormy day. Her expression reflected mine-pleasantly shocked.
She smiled at me warmly, and I grinned back, genuinely happy and relaxed for the first time in months. Her teeth were slightly crooked, but that only made her more endearing. Despite her unconventional features, this woman-my coworker!-was absolutely stunning.
I cleared my throat.
"Hi, I'm Jon Snow. Mr. Lannister told me to come to Cubicle 7. Am I in the right place?" I asked.
As if I had shaken her out of a trance, the red-haired beauty gave a start.
"Um… It-it's that one," she stammered, pointing to the empty desk.
I thanked her quietly and headed toward my workspace. I opened my briefcase and began setting up.
Only then did I look around the room at my other fellow employees. Next to me was a gorgeous woman-she looked just like a model out of a magazine. She noticed me staring and turned towards me.
"So, Jon… do you need some help?" she purred, leaning towards me.
I didn't want her "help" (as she put it), but I had to admit, I was feeling somewhat lost. I told her so, and she slunk closer to me, almost leaning on my chair, with a satisfied look on her face.
"I'm Daenerys," she informed me, "and the girl with the red hair is Ygritte. Sansa's sitting next to her."
I groaned internally as Daenerys moved even closer to me. Ygritte shot Daenerys an angry glare, and Sansa glanced between the two of them with concern.
Three very different, beautiful women, with obvious rivalries between one another. And me caught in the midst of it.
Well, Jon Snow, I thought darkly, this is some job you've gotten yourself into.
Chapter 3 was from Jon's POV. I wanted to try it out, but I'm not sure if it was too repetitive. What do you think? Do you want to know what's going on for Jon? Or should I just focus on Ygritte. As always, I'm waiting for your reviews!
