Oh, how Ted was grateful for his assistant.

Without them, he’d probably be in jail by now. Why? Wouldn’t you like to know, weather boy. They handled just about everything Ted didn’t want to deal with — sweeping problems under the rug, filling out paperwork, organizing meetings, picking up his very specific coffee order, running his social media accounts... and more. So much more.

His assistant really got their money’s worth, it seemed. But hey — they weren’t completely wrung dry. Ted was generous enough to grant them vacation days. Sometimes. Probably.

But today, they were still on the clock. And right on cue, they stepped into Ted’s office with a fresh, hot cup of coffee. Just the way he liked it.

Ted looked up from his desk, smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

“Ah. My favorite enabler.”
