After Being Seen as an Enemy, My Brother Lost It

Working undercover for a secret government unit, I was tasked by my boss to deliver some documents to my brother's company.As soon as I stepped into his office, some intern blocked my path. "You must be the new assistant?"She scanned me up and down, her gaze finally settling on the file in my hand. With a sneer, she added, "Trying to suck up to Mr. Lancaster on your first day? Take a look in the mirror, honey. You're nothing special."It finally hit me, she thought I was competition.But my brother hadn't mentioned anything about a girlfriend. I was about to explain when a burning hot slap landed across my face."Slut! I'm going to be James' assistant! You can forget about ever being his girlfriend!" She grabbed my hair and threw a cup of scalding hot tea in my face. "Such a young age and already trying to seduce men. You're probably just a cheap piece of ass that's been passed around!"I curled up on the floor, desperately protecting the file folder with my body.That seemed to piss her off even more. She snatched the folder and tore it to shreds in front of everyone in the office.Then, with a sickly sweet smile, she turned to my brother. "Mr. Lancaster, your new assistant is pretty bold, trying to come onto you. But don't worry, I've already taken care of her."..."That bitch really has some nerve, thinking she can get with Mr. Lancaster. She's going to regret messing with Brittany Caldwell.""She probably doesn't know that even though Brittany's just an intern, her dad's a big shot at the company. All the skanks who've tried to get with Mr. Lancaster before have ended up crying and begging for forgiveness."Brittany Caldwell looked down at me, her eyes overflowing with contempt.In the next second, she grabbed my hair and yanked me off the floor.A sharp pain shot through me, and I gasped, involuntarily. That just earned me another slap across the face."Whimpering like that, who are you trying to seduce?" she spat. "I'll tell you what, Mr. Lancaster is out of the office today. You better put those trashy little thoughts away. Or I swear to God, I'll ruin you!"I clenched my fists, trying to control my anger.Just as I was about to explain, my phone rang.It was my boss.I reached for it, but Brittany snatched it up first.She put it on speakerphone for everyone to hear."Riley, are you there yet?""Have you seen Jim?"Brittany went ballistic.She screamed into the phone, "You old hag, are you that desperate that you're pushing your daughter to sleep with our Mr. Lancaster!?""And how dare you even say Jim's name, you lowlife piece of garbage!"My boss was stunned. She started to reply, but Brittany hung up on her."Brittany, why are you even wasting your breath on her?""Just look at her. She probably comes from some trailer park trash family. She probably heard that Mr. Lancaster was hiring an assistant, and saw her chance to climb the ladder."One of Brittany's cronies stood beside her, hands on her hips, giving me a once-over.I grit my teeth, trying to ignore the ...
