I do not own Peyton Tree Hill aka One Tree Hill…

New beginnings

Brooke's POV

Walking in hesitantly into the building. I take a gulp and breathe sharply.

"Hello, I'm Brooke Davis, I start work today"

"Oh you're the new sales manager, Lucas Scott will be waiting for you, I'll show you where to go, follow me"

Walking through the hallway, I received quite the odd looks, was there something wrong with what I was wearing? We finally reached the door. Junior CEO of the company, Lucas Scott. This would be the man that was running the show. It doesn't matter who it was but I was so appreciative that it wasn't Dan.

"Thanks,… sorry I didn't catch your name"

"I'm Theresa and stay away from Lucas, he's mine"

Okay, is there something wrong with the people that work at this company or what? Yesterday it was Dan, now it's some other guy. Do I have slut written on my forehead or something. Here goes, Knock , Knock… I slowly open the door. My eyes widen in shock. It's that guy from yesterday.

"You" there was no polite way to greet this imbecile. I pose with both of my hands on my hips. "Could this day get any worse?" I take a seat without the invite. I need caffeine, I can't handle this kind of stress.

"Would you like me to answer that question or was it rhetorical?" I just wanted to wipe that smirk from his face. What does he actually achieve from annoying me like this.

"Cut to the chase Mr Lucas Scott, where would you like me to start?" contrary to what he thought I'm here to work not gold dig off Dan, his father. Some character he was, now I know he approached me out of the blue. Note to self: stay as far away as possible from Dan.

"Well, I personally need to train you up on your new job, especially with your lack of experience. Actually I have a important job for you. Follow me!"

"Great… "

"Well it's nice to know you're enthusiastic about it" he gestures for me to follow him. I take the hint and obey. After two flight of stairs and 2 miles of abandoned office space, we reach the location. It's quiet, not a person in sight. "You're not planning on killing me are you?"

"Why bother, you could be of use to me… these are all our sales records before the computer era. Your job today will crucial in influencing my decision to keep you working for us here at Scott Corp. all the files need to be sorted by year, company name. I don't want to take anymore of your time. If you don't finish by 6pm, don't bother coming back tomorrow Penelope" like that he decided to leave me. Panic takes over my body and I mentally count all the files, too damn much to do.

"Wait, Lucas wait!!!" he doesn't bother to turn around, instead he waves. 9 hours to prove I'm worthy of this job.

File by file, company by company. It was 2pm and I still had more than half the room left. I haven't even eaten or drank anything. Determination was my source of energy. If I needed to stay all night I will but I'm sure a certain Lucas Scott would kick me out of the premises anyway. My eyes were drooping, there was so much old air trapped in the room, I honestly think that I breathing in dusk particles. It had no cooling, so I had to remove my shirt leaving me in my bra. Maybe I should take a power nap. I set my phone to wake me up at 2:30pm. I make room on the desk for me to spread out my body using my shirt as a sheet.

Lucas's office

"Wonder what she's up too? She hasn't been up to the cafeteria to get lunch or even to get a drink" Hrmz…..
