"Morning," I say deadpan, not even looking at her, Nic just nods in her direction and carries on walking pass her. She irks him just as much as she annoys me.
"May I get you some coffee Nicholas?" She says standing as we walk pass her, her white blouse particularly low cut today, not surprisingly. Nic ignores her and strides down the hallway to our offices, not even acknowledging the fact that he was being spoken to.
"You are the floor receptionist Miss Gale that is not your job and not what we pay you for," I can't help but huff out.
"I know Nath- Mr Greyson," she says quickly recovering herself to not call me by my first name like she did my Brother and she nervously chuckles when my brow arches. Neither Nic or myself mind if our employees call us by first names, but most of the people who do, have earned the right to do so. But this girl really does annoy me, she always has and I can't help but scowl towards her. "Sorry, Mr Greyson," she says with a nod, "I was just asking if you needed anything?"
"Me or my Brother?" Her face goes red, her eyes widen as she looks between me and the empty corridor Nic went towards. I know, I know, I'm annoyed I'm at the office and not with Ryan right now, so I'm taking it out on Molly, but I really don't like this girl. I can't help it. "There's nothing and if we do need anything we will ask our PA's ourselves, now... back to work Miss Gale," I say, putting emphasis on her name.
"Yes sir," she says sheepishly.
"Oh and Miss Gale?"
"Yes Mr Greyson?"
"You've been warned in the past and I don't want to have to remind you that your treading on thin ice. Please don't leave the desk unmanned like you did yesterday, if you do, please let Emma know so calls can be transferred to her. I don't want important calls to be missed again," I say with a burning gaze. We have some very important calls coming today that will finalise some big projects and we really can't afford there to be a mix up.
"Yes Mr Greyson," she says deflated, her shoulders slumping and lowering herself on her chair.
I walk away while she mumbles under her breathe, I don't have the patience to ask her to repeat herself so I continue down the hall until I reach the foyer of our office. "Molly pissed you off again?" Emma says with a smile as I round the corner.
"Don't get me started on that woman, she just annoys me."
"So your the bad cop today huh?" Nic chuckles, sitting on the corner of Emma's desk.
"Thought I'd give you the day off," I shrug looking at Nic while he smirks at me, "any messages?"
"Erm... the Baxter project is ready to start construction next week. Larry has all the contractors he needs and signed everything off this morning so it's all good to go and Brody is finalising the legal documents for the Miller project."
"Good... and the Campbell account?" Nic asks.
Emma brings out a stack of paperwork, a smug smile on her face as she answers, "construction starts in three weeks, Larry has already sorted everything and handed it over to Paul, he asked to have a meeting with you both and Linda with the concept art. He's booked in for Monday morning first thing so there won't be any delays," her hands rest under her chin, looking between us like a puppy waiting for a treat and I have to admit, Emma is damn good as our PA. "And before you ask, the Hudson project is on track to being finished as early as Wednesday, Malcolm wants you down there Tuesday so I've booked out your morning already, I'll be in the office so Chris will be with you for experience. I know it's his first day back off vacation and I've already sent him the details of where to be that morning."
