Lana had gotten used to her new boss quickly. He wasn't half as bad as her old boss was. But then again he could be bad when you pissed him off which had only happened once and it hadn't been because of something she herself had done. It had been the person who called while he was in a meeting and had insisted on calling back until he got James himself on the phone.
"Mr. Johnson?" Lana knocked. She heard him sigh. "Yes, please come in." Lana opened the door slightly poking her head in. "Its Mr. Lando. He wont quit calling. He insists upon talking to you. What would you like me to do about it?" James sighed and got up. "Please excuse me gentlemen." He walked out shutting the door. "Lana how many times has he called?" Lana sighed. "He's called every five minutes for the past hour." James growled. "Is he on the phone?" Lana nodded and handed it to him pressing the hold button so that they could talk.
"Ah. Yes, Mr. Lando. What can I do for you?" There was a lot of yelling coming from the other end of the line, which Lana couldn't make out. "Oh I see. Well, could you please call back a little later and we can discuss this. I am in a very important meeting ri-" Mr. Lando had cut him off and was yelling again. James sighed and handed Lana the phone. "Could you please deal with him? I have got to get back to my meeting." Lana nodded and sighed waiting for James to leave.
Putting the phone to her ear she spoke calmly. "Mr. Lando. I'm sure you really need to speak to Mr. Johnson, but he is busy. Please call back in two hours when he is not going to be busy. And if you call back before two hours is up I will file charges of harassment towards you. Good day to you sir." She hung up the phone and turned towards the door hearing slight laughter. She shook her head and sat back down answering more calls and filling things.
An hour passed and it was lunch. The men who were meeting with James had left a while ago and he didn't look to pleased. Knocking softly Lana spoke. "Mr. Johnson. I'm going out for lunch would you like anything?" She heard him get up and open the door. Anger was clear in his eyes and on his face. "Did Mr. Lando call back?" Lana shook her head. "No sir." James growled and pulled her into the office shutting the door. "Listen." He pressed a button on his answering machine.
It was Mr. Lando calling. Lana listened and was taken aback. "Sir I don't know how he got your personal number. I-" James raised a hand. "Just go get lunch." Lana nodded and spoke softly. "Do you want anything?" James shook his head and motioned for the door. "No." Lana nodded again and left quickly.
When she returned she ate and again knocked on James office door. "Sir. I have your mail." She heard him curse and he flung open the door. "I am busy. Please go back to your desk and do your job." Lana had been so surprised she had dropped his mail. "Y-yes sir." she backed away. James slammed the door hard and went back to what he was doing. Lana picked up the mail and when back to her desk.
Finally the day ended and she left the keys on her desk for James. Picking up her things she left and headed home. Once she got there she realized she didn't have her key. "Oh damn it!" Turning around she headed down stairs. The clerk didn't have a spare key and she asked that he hold her papers and things in a locked box. He complied and did so.
Leaving the building she headed for James's house only knowing where it was because he had asked her to bring him some papers she had one evening. Approaching the building she sighed knowing all to well that he was probably upset still. Not really caring just wanting to go home and wash up she entered the building heading for his penthouse apartment.
Lana sighed and knocked. "James? Are you home?" The door was opened rather ruffly. "Yes. What is-" He stopped talking. "What are you doing here Lana?" He blinked slightly shocked. Lana looked a little hurt by the way he had addressed her presence. "Well, I set my keys down with the car keys and I was wondering if you had them?" James nodded. "Yes, I was just about to call you." He had the phone in his hand. Lana smiled. "Please come in. Sorry if I seemed a bit rude before. I was just shocked." Lana nodded. "Its all right." She smiled and entered the large apartment.
James went into another room and came back out. "Here you go." He smiled but noticed how she looked around curiously. "Something wrong?" She turned around. "No, its just really nice here." James nodded. "Yeah." James watched her. "Lana." Lana looked at him. "Yes?" he sighed. "I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to scare you or anything. I was just really pissed. I hope you can understand that it wasn't anything against you." Lana nodded. "Yes, I understand." She smiled and headed towards the door. "I really need to be going though." James nodded and followed.
"It is getting rather late. Would you like me to drive you home?" Lana blushed slightly. "Sure." She smiled and they headed out the door. The drive back to her house was silent. Neither had much to say. James stopped outside her apartment building putting the car in park. "Thank you James." Lana smiled getting out. "You're welcome Lana. See you tomorrow." Lana nodded and head inside the building. James drove off and she went upstairs ready for sleep and a nice warm bath.
"Mr. Johnson?" Lana knocked. She heard him sigh. "Yes, please come in." Lana opened the door slightly poking her head in. "Its Mr. Lando. He wont quit calling. He insists upon talking to you.
