"That's Jim," Toby pointed out to me as Jim walked into the room. He was telling me all the new people's names so that I didn't have to awkwardly ask them their name and then tell them to hand me things that needed filing. "And behind him is Karen." I heard Michael call her exotic and I rolled my eyes.

Toby has been much more personal to me since he asked me on a date. He told me about his divorce and his daughter, Sasha. I told him about how I was engaged but found the man had cheated on me so I broke it off. That was about a year ago. That's also why I had quit my job. My ex was my old boss and I couldn't take having him watch over me. He also treated me like Michael does to Toby.

"All the new employees to the conference room!" Michael announced. "Amber, can you get the training video?"

I nodded and went to my desk to grab the tape. I reluctantly helped Michael with this training video... if you could even call it that. Pam reluctantly helped me video tape him and Dwight rapping. At least I had gotten most of my work done that day. I walked into the conference room and put the video into the player.

"This is the new office hottie," Michael said pointing at me. "Her name is Amber and she is the file clerk."

"Hi everyone," I smiled as I turned the TV on and walked out of the room.

"You're not going to stay and watch what we made together with Dwight and Pam?" Michael asked sounding shocked.

"I'd rather not," I mumbled as I made my way back to my desk.

On my desk was the rest of Toby's pile that he had given to me this morning. I got to work scanning in the rest just as Angela came in and handed me the smallest pile of paperwork I've had to file.

"Just to let you know, I tend to do my own filing unlike the other people in this office," She addressed right as Creed came in with his box of paperwork.

"Oh, well, thank you for keeping up with it," I smiled. She didn't and stormed out of the room.

Creed put his box next to my desk. "That's Andrea. You'll get used to her," And he left.

"I thought her name was Angela?" I turned to Toby.

"Creed doesn't know her name. I'm done trying to get him to remember," Toby mumbled.

I turned back, put the rest of Toby's pile on the scanner and started sorting through Creed's pile since Angela's would take 5 minutes. As I was going through Creed's papers, I found some bean sprouts stuck to a nasty piece of paper towel. This is disgusting. I threw it out and attempted to start working again but the smell of the sprouts and the towel were so overwhelming. I took my garbage and threw it away in the break rooms garbage. When I got back, Kevin was standing at my desk with a pile of his paperwork.

"Where should I put this?" He asked innocently.

"Uhm," I whispered looking at my desk. I pushed Angela's small pile over and pointed. "Right here is fine Kevin."

He put the pile right where I told him to, almost spilling my coffee. I gasped and saved the mug from toppling over.

"Oh," He whispered. "I'm sorry."

"That's totally okay Kevin."

"Oh, alright."

"Everyone in the conference room for the ceremony!" Michael yelled through the door.

Kevin was the first one through the door followed by Kelly. Toby held the door as I walked through. I wonder what this meeting was about. Sorry, this ceremony.

In the conference room was a table with chairs on it. Everyone piled into the room, which was very cozy. I stood up next to Toby with Dwight up against me. I could see Toby's face beginning to flush and I felt my face beginning to flush too.

"Stamford employee's up on the chairs," Michael stated. "Except you Jim. You're not a new employee."

Karen, Hannah, Martin and Andy got up on to the table while Tony stood against the table.

"Tony," Michael started. "You need to get up on the table."

"I don't think I can," Tony mumbled.

"Okay, well, we will help you," Michael said as he grabbed one of his legs.

Tony tried getting on the table with Michael's help. When Michael clearly couldn't do it alone, Dwight stepped in and grabbed tony around the waist.

"Michael," I said.

"We can do this," He responded.

"Michael, I don't think-"

"We can do this!" He exclaimed.

I backed off not wanting to push this any further.

"Michael, it's not going to happen," Tony stated.

No we can-"

"Stop," Tony said turning around.

Michael got off his leg and Dwight stepped aside.

"We could have done it we just-"

"No, Michael, I think I need to quit," Tony said.

"It's the first day. You can't quit on the first day!" Michael exclaimed shocked. "You know what, you can't quit because Dunder-Mifflin doesn't hire quitters. You are fired."

I shook my head and walked to the annex. I would have to shuffle his paperwork according to who got his accounts. I took Tony's files from the cabinet and put them in a draw so that they wouldn't get mixed in with the other papers on my desk. Toby came in shaking his head and sighed. He was feeling the exact same way. He sat down, stared at his desk for a second, then got to work with Tony's papers.

Pam walks into the annex and hands me Oscar's paperwork. By then I've already sorted through Creed's, filed Angela's and have just started scanning Kevin's.

"Michael took the air out of all our tires," She tells me.

"What?" I blurted.

"Oh great," Toby sighs not looking up from his work.

"Bob Vance is actually filling them up as we speak though," She goes on. "So we can all get home, thankfully."

I don't who Bob Vance is but I am grateful to him. I thank Pam for bringing me Oscar's papers and she leaves. Back to scanning Kevin's which have stains all over them. I figure out what he had for lunch in the last week of February. I guess it doesn't matter though since it's all just going in a file and not to corporate. After scanning the rest of Kevin's papers, I wasn't motivated to work anymore. I was excited for my date with Toby. I looked over at Toby who was trying to do work on the computer but was obviously distracted. He then got up, smiled at me, and left the room. I shuffled over to Kelly's area where she was listening to music.

"Kelly,"

She looked up and took out her head phones. "Oh, hey Amber. What's up?"

"I need some help," I whispered. "I have a date this Friday and I know you have a good fashion sense."

"I would love to help you pick out an outfit!" She yelled going on a clothing website.

I sat down next to her and looked at the clothes she was showing me.

"Do you know where you're going?" She asked looking through the dresses.

"Uhm, he hasn't told me anything besides to be ready by 7," I mumbled not wanting Toby to hear if he did come back to his desk.

"Well," Kelly began. "If you don't know where you're going then I don't think a dress would be good. You want something fancy just incase you got to a fancy restaurant but you don't want something too fancy incase he just takes you to the movies."

"I don't think we are going to the movies," I giggled.

"Who are you going on a date with anyway?" She asked now looking through the skirts. "Is it someone in the office or not? What's his name or her name? I don't care if you're gay. Oscar is gay. He got a a few weeks of vacation because he threatened to quit and Jan gave him vacation and a company car to make him stay."

"That's nice but I'm not gay," I claimed. "And I don't think I should say. I don't know if he wants everyone in the office knowing his private life."

"Oh...," Kelly went quiet for a while showing me skirts and blouses that would look good on me.

"Oh!" I exclaimed. "I like that skirt!" I pointed at a black pencil skirt with a silver design on it.

"That is so cute! Let's find a shirt to match!"

I paid for the fast shipping since it was already Tuesday and my date was on a few days away. I thanked Kelly for the help and went back to my desk in a cheerful mood. I felt motivated to finish my work. I looked over at Toby who came in as I was paying for the clothing. He looked much better and less distracted. I smiled as I finished my work for the day. I didn't realize how long I was with Kelly since it was almost time to leave. I haven't finished what I wanted done today but that was okay. I didn't have much to do and tomorrow I would get all the paperwork from the new employees and file them. They were new so I am hoping that they don't have much to file. I wanted to start doing data entry as soon as I could.

Ryan came in to get Kelly but I guess he thought that getting Kelly meant that while he waited he could flirt with me. I ignored all advances and got ready to leave. He seemed to ignore my attempts to ignore him as he only made more advancements. I looked at the camera disgruntled ready to yell at Ryan when Toby came over.

"Ready to go?" He asked.

I looked at him a little confused and then I realized he was saving me from the wrath of Kelly..., and saving Ryan from my wrath.

"Yes," I answered turning off my desk light. "Good night Ryan," I said slamming the door on my way out.

"Ryan has a big ego," Toby explained as we waited for the elevator.

"I can see that," I mumbled looking at the floor.

The elevator opened and we stepped in. Jim ran up to the elevator and held the doors open for Karen. Jim stepped in and pressed the 'close doors' button. He looked back at me and suck out his hand.

"Hi, I'm Jim," He said.

I shook his hand. "Amber but, you probably already know that because of Michael."

"I'm Karen," Karen shook both me and Toby's hand.

"I'm Toby," He replied.

"Oh! I like your necklace!" Karen exclaimed pointing to my neck.

"Oh! Thank you!" I smiled.

The elevator door opened and we all got out. We all said good night to each other and went our separate ways. As I was leaving the parking lot, I saw Toby staring at my car leaving with a smile on his face. The Toby smile.

Updates will happen whenever I can. I've got time in the semester to actually write now so hopefully I will actually be updating this story more often then my other stories which, I am working hard on. I just don't have the motivation right now. :)
