Olivia greeted her new assistant with a smile. This was Draya's first job. "It's nice to finally meet you in person."
"Thank you for giving me a job."
Olivia knew Draya would be her assistant when she saw her video interview. She was the exact opposite of Alison. Very humble.
"It's good to be back in California."
"Yeah, I think that earthquake scared everyone. My high school cancelled our graduation."
"Are you starting college soon?"
"No, I don't really know what I want to do, so it would be a waste of money. Right now, I just want to work in the entertainment industry."
"I have to meet with my new OBGYN today. I need you to make sure my pregnancy is not leaked to the media."
"Do you need me to get you anything from a restaurant? It's almost afternoon."
"No, I'm meeting my fiance for lunch."
"Okay. What should I do the rest of the day?"
"How about you go hangout with your friends."
"Really? I'm supposed to be working."
"You don't have to work every minute of your shift. I'll call you if I need anything."
"Thank you Olivia."
Draya was a breath of fresh air. She was very organized. Olivia needed someone who could take care of everything without an attitude.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
Olivia didn't know Fitz was downstairs. She wasn't expecting him to follow her back to California. She promised they would be on their way back to Vermont in a few weeks. Vermont was calming, and there was always something to do in the nearest small town. Olivia and the President appreciated being able to sightsee without being stalked by fans. He was also happy that Veronica wasn't having mood swings in Vermont. The days were long with fishing, shopping at boutiques and making jam.
"Nothing."
"Do you want to spend the night in Vermont?"
"I have to be at work very early."
"Are you ready for your appointment?"
"Yeah, I think I'm feeling movement. It's like a feather in my stomach."
"I don't want you to overwork yourself."
"I'm not Fitz."
"Do you want to go shopping while we're in California?"
"No, I don't want to ship any more stuff to Vermont."
"Where do you want for lunch?"
"Onion rings."
Fitz smiled, he was starting to hate onion rings.
