~Casey Halls~

*beep beep* Ugh, five more minutes please. *beep beep* Okay, okay I'm up. I slapped my hand on my alarm clock, and pull my comforter off my body. Mmm I have an hour and a half to get for work, I got this. I turn the shower on and while I wait for the water to warm up, I turn on the coffee maker.

*meow*

"Good morning Ralph, are you hungry?" Ralph is my baby, well technically he isn't a baby. He grew out of the kitten stage but I still treat him like a baby.

Ronnie, my other cat, brushed up against my legs as I take out the cat food from the cupboard.

Is it raining outside because I swear I hear water oh crap my shower! Almost tripping over my babies, I race back to my bathroom and strip my clothes off of me, then I proceed with my morning routine.

                              •••

"Good morning Casey" Lydia at front desk greets me a hello as I fast-walk past the lobby to the elevators.

"Hold the door" I press the open doors button on the side panel of the elevator. Mr. Castle runs in and the doors close leaving me trapped alone with my boss.

You see I work for Wesley Castle, he's like the Tony Stark in Iron Man. Anyway, Mr. Castle owns Castle Incorporated. He works in technology and basically provides us phones, tablets, computers, self drive cars, I mean anything involving a computer he's behind it. I'm his assistant, you know the person who goes on coffee runs, plans their next meetings, set up dates and times for parties and such.

"Good morning Casey" Mr. Castle says as we get off the elevator. I follow him to his office and place his breakfast burrito and his hazelnut flavored coffee on his desk.

"Good morning Mr. Castle, I hope you enjoy your breakfast" Mr. Castle takes huge bite from his burrito. I hand him a napkin which he takes and wipes away the crumbs from his mouth. "You have a meeting with Nick Wells today at 11:35am where you'll be discussing the new watch prototype." Mr. Castle straightens his tie and nods at my information.

"Thank you Casey, could you please call my girlfriend and tell her I can't make it to dinner tonight?" No, not that snobby rich brat.

"Of course Mr. Castle, anything else?" Please let there be something else I have to do other than call that witch.

"No, you can go" Letting out a sigh, I saunter back to my office. It's right next to Mr. Castle's office, which on the top floor. I have a big window which gives me a perfect view of the city.

"Hello?"

"Hi Emily"

"Who is this?"

"It's Casey, you know Wesley Castle's assistant" faint whispers were heard on the other side of phone.

"Oh? Well is there a reason you're calling me because I am currently shopping and I just found the cutest dress for me and Wesley's date tonight" Oh boy, how can I tell her now?

"Um yeah, about that....... There isn't going to be a date tonight beca-"

"WHAT DO YOUR MEAN THERES NO DATE TONIGHT?!" Wow okay, is that.... yep that's blood in my ear.

"Mr. Castle has to cancel the date for tonight, I apologize but he can't make it." I lied. I'm not sorry, I surprised he doesn't break up with the brat.

"I bet there is someone else, he is always spending time at work"

"Well he does own the company, everyday Mr. Castle is coming up with new ideas to make better phones and even cars"

"That is no excuse for him, I mean now what am I supposed to do tonight? I cancelled everything to have this one night and now it's ruined." Okay now I feel bad, underneath that snobby, mean, whinny demeanor is someone who just wants attention.

"Who are you on the phone with?" Mr. Castle is standing in the doorway. 'Emily' I whisper to him.

"Send her over to me, I'll take it from here" Thank goodness!

"Emily, I'm transferring you over to Mr. Castle's office." She says something else but I cut her off when I transfer her over. Leaning back in my chair, I run a hand threw my straight brown hair. On my computer, the time is 7:03am. I look out the window, a flock of birds pass by. The sunrise is absolutely beautiful. No matter how stressful the day, I can always count on nature and the view to cheer me up.

I'm so invested into the breathtaking view that I wasn't aware of Mr. Castle standing beside me.

"I'm sorry Mr. Castle, I didn't hear you come in."

"It's quite alright Casey, I would get distracted by this view too. It brings a sense of relaxation to the office. When I bought this building everything was nice but this..... this right here caught my attention. I thought it would make the whole building a peaceful environment, a calm setting for work."

"I totally agree, sorry if I'm pestering too much but how did everything go with Emily?" Mr. Castle gives off frustrated sigh.

"Well she yelled at me for not telling her that I'm canceling and having you do it especially when she despises you. Then she yelled at me for canceling because she bragged all of her poor friends that she was going on a date with a billionaire and they weren't, then she said she is on her way to collect my wallet because apparently I owe her a dinner."

"Why can't you just reschedule?"

"I said that but she said 'Why wait for you to spend money on me when I could spend money on myself right now.'"

*beep* "Ms. Halls, could you please inform Mr. Castle that Ms. Emily Hough is here."

"Will you please come downstairs with me?" Um excuse me? You just said that Emily despises me and you want to go down there? I take back what I said about her, I don't feel sorry for her at all. She's just using him for money, she also likes to rub what she's got in other people's faces. So no I don't think I want to go with you downstairs, you go by yourself Mr. Wesley Castle.

"Of course, I would love to go with you" I know what you all are thinking and let me tell you, I'm no coward and I'm not going to say that to my boss and risk losing my job. So I followed him to the elevators. As soon as the doors opened, a furious Emily who was tapping her foot against the marble floors was waiting for us. She was angry when she saw Wes- I mean Mr. Castle but when she saw me anybody a mile away could see the smoke coming out of her ears.

"Wesley, we need to talk and YOU! Your coming with me" Emily demanded. On second thought, maybe I should've stayed upstairs. We trudge behind Emily into the lobby.

"On the way here I thought I should make a list of what you both owe me" What I owe her? She starts reading 'respect' on her list, oh my god this is going to be a long day.

So what did you think? I'm sorry if there were any mistakes. I will try to fix them but this was the first chapter. The next chapter will be in Annie Davenport point of view. I will try to update every week for this book but I make no promises.
