Uther disliked his son's new assistant the moment he walked through the door. It had taken a week to find him. A week of distraction for his son.
He looked the boy up and down. Casually dressed, messy haired, and bold. The last thing that anyone needed.
"Explain why I shouldn't fire you now?"
The boy raised his brows, unimpressed, "That's Arthur's job."
Uther's lips thinned at the use of his son's first name, "You were gone for two weeks."
"Family business." the boy had the gall to dismiss him, "I filled out all the employee vacation paperwork and informed my direct superior," he tilted his head curiously, "Was there more procedure that I was not informed of?"
"My son was not informed of your... vacation."
"Family business." a short pause, "My direct superior isn't Arthur. It was Henna."
"Ms. Kapor was fired."
"She was?" Uther could almost feel the sarcasm coming off of him, "Must've been pretty soon after I left if she wasn't able to tell you about my family business."
Uther was one word away from firing him. A knock on the door. His own assistant comes in, "I found Henna Kapor's files. She did have a vacation notice for him."
The boy turned to leave.
Uther bristled, "I didn't dismiss you."
Not even a glance in his direction, "I have work."
