�So Miss. Summers, well as you should know I am not the only boss here, if fact I have some one ahead of me. Wesley is in charge of most of the new young workers, they do all the work to get take care of the field. Fred out there is the secretary, she takes care of all the data we collect. And the person you have yet to see would be Ms. Cordelia Case, she is the head boss. By the way, stay far away from her, no one really likes her here. Ok would you like me to show you around?� Angel asked as he moved to the door. Standing in the door way, he leaned against the frame and looked over at Buffy. She had not moved an inch in her seat, just watching him walk is all she did.
Standing up they made there way in to the main office. He showed her the big seed room, telling her this is were all the data ends up. Walking through the offices he showed her all the other offices of people she would be working with. Walking outside he showed her the tractors and other equipment they would be using. Buffy turned to head back in side when Angel grabbed her arm and walked her to the other side of the building.
�What did you do that for Angel?� Buffy asked him ripping her arm away from him. �Shhhhh, quite.� Angel said.
�What?� Buffy asked.
�Cordelia just got here. If she sees you today here, she would flip.� Angel told her as he looked back around the building.
�Why would she flip, she knows you hired me right? Right, Angel?� Buffy questioned him.
�Yes, but she was not happy about it. She wanted me to hire a guy, because well Cordelia, is in love with me. She would think I hired you for your looks, and to fuck you, I mean hell she fired the last secretary because she looked at me wrong.� Angel told her.
Buffy started being confused, she was finding out that the main boss here was missing her marbles and was crazy. Angel swung around covering Buffy in his arms and picked her up off the ground. Walking to the back of the building he set her down, turned around to see Cordelia walking over to him. Angel pushed Buffy, she took it as to run around and go inside. Going around she went back in to his office and sat down at his desk.
Outside, Angel was trying to keep Cordelia off him. He kept pushing her away, as he put her hands on his chest. �Cordelia, man I told you a hundred times, I am not interested in you, and no I don�t want a relationship with you.� Angel said as he headed back inside to make sure Buffy was ok. Walking in to his office he found her sitting at his desk looking at the photos in his desk. She was looking all around his desk, being very noise. He smiled, thinking that Buffy was almost perfect in every way. Walking over to her his head started thinking of just what do about Cordelia.
�Buffy, can I ask you something?� Angel said scaring her.
Turning around like lightening Buffy dropped the frame she was holding. It went to the floor crashing. �Oh my god, Angel I am so so very sorry. I will do anything to replace it. I don�t know what got in to me, I am sorry I was looking through your desk�� Buffy rambled on.
�Buffy its ok, I am kind of glad you broke it, it was a gift from Cordy. But can I ask you something?�
�Sure what�s up boss?� Buffy asked.
His eyes focused right on hers and for a second Angel was on cloud nine, and was not about to leave.
�Would you like to talk about the job over dinner tonight? I mean if you�re not busy and if you don�t mind going out with an old guy like me that is.� Angel said turning away, he was shocked he had asked her something like that, but had so wanted to.
�Sure, what time.� Buffy said.
�I mean I know you most likely have plans and all, but it would mean a lot to get to know you better.� Angel started rambling on.
�Angel, I said yes.� Buffy said standing up. �What time?�
�Oh, sorry, how about 7? I can pick you up at your house, if you like?� He said smiling now from ear to ear.
�That�s just fine with me. See you at 7pm then.� Buffy said writing down her address and phone number and handing it to Angel. She smiled as she walked out of his office and down the hall. Standing at the end of the hall was a woman about Buffy�s height, black hair, and wearing some very slutly outfit.
�Just who the hell are you?� Cordelia asked as she put her hands on her hips.
�I am Buffy, Angel�s new assistant.� Buffy said as she made her way to the door.
�Oh. I don�t fucking think so, he would not hire a little whore like you. If I see you on the grounds once more I will call the cops.� Cordelia said as she moved to let Buffy pass.
�Oh you will be seeing me a lot, you hired me don�t you remember.� Buffy said walking out the door.
*7:00pm that night*
Buffy was up stairs getting changed, when the knock came at the door. Running down the stairs to answer it she was a bit too late. Mommy dearest had beaten her to the door. She saw Angel standing there and smiled.
�How can I help you tonight sir?� Joyce asked.
�I am here to see Buffy, my names Angel I am working with Buffy this summer.� Angel put out his hand to shake. Joyce smiled and took it.
�Oh come on in, so what are you two going to do tonight?� Joyce asked prying in to her daughters life some more.
�Well we are going to go out to dinner at this pizza place I love, then I figured I would dropper her back off here afterwards. If you don�t mind?� Angel asked.
�Well I guess that would be all right. Let me go see if Buffy is ready then.� Joyce said walking up the stairs, but Buffy had snuck in to the living room by then and went up behind Angel hugging him from behind.
�Oh, my, god Buff you scared me.�
�Sorry Angel, ready to go?�
�Yeah.�
Buffy yelled up stairs to her mom that she was leaving and walked arm in arm out the door with Angel. Willow started coming up the walk way as, Buffy and Angel were going down it. Buffy saw her and ran up to her giving her the biggest hug in the world. Willow and Buffy let each other go to breath.
�Hey what are you doing here Willow I thought you had to baby-sit tonight? What are you doing her now?� Buffy asked as she pulled Willow back on the porch.
Angel followed the two girls up the stairs. Sitting on the steps as the two were talking, he watched Buffy as her smile kept on growing. Willow was the girls name, Angel had remembered that, and she must be by the way the girls were acting Buffy�s best friend.
�So, yeah Buffy well I went to the writing class you told me to, and I meet this most perfect guy there. His name is Oz, and he is so smart. Buffy he is in a band too. God I wish I could talk to him.�
Buffy and Willow talked for about 10 minutes before Willow decided she was going to talk to Oz the next day. She walked down the steps, and past Angel, seeing the man sitting there Willow turned around in shock.
�Have you been there the whole time?�
�Yeah I have, my names Angel, I am Buffy�s new boss/friend.� Angel stuck out his hand for Willow.
�Nice to meet you Angel, sorry I took up so much of Buffy�s time, I just had to tell her my news.�
�Its ok, Willow, would you care to join us for dinner tonight.�
Buffy was standing behind Angel at the time shaking her head no, she wanted Angel all to her self to night. �Sorry Angel, but have to do some things on my own, but maybe some other time.� Willow said as she skipped down the walkway and back to her house.
�Sorry about that Angel, my life is well full of surprise like that.� Buffy said as the two continued down the walk to Angel�s truck. Smiling as Buffy could remember the night that truck had hit her. Angel opened the door, and walked around behind. Stopping for a second to stair up Buffy�s drive way. He saw the green truck that sat in the drive.
Sliding in to the driver side, he started the engine and drove down the road. Not saying anything he loved over at Buffy, it hit him. He had seen her before. It was her, that ran the red light, that night. The night that had changed his life.
