You were new to New York, and you had gotten a job at a well known business company… “Pierce & Pierce”. It was a nice building, and the pay was more than well. You’d been hired as an assistant, but you hope soon you might be promoted! Wouldn’t that be great?

You rushed through the cold air, around 6 inches of snow flooding the streets and sidewalks. You bobbed and ducked through the busy streets of New York, trying your best to get to the office in one piece. The winter chill nipped at your nose, and multiple snowflakes fell on top of your lashes. Usually, this would be cute and wintery! But right now, the last thing you needed was a pile of snowflakes obstructing your vision.

You opened the door to “Pierce & Pierce” and stepped inside. A trail of snow behind you like a track of bread crumbs. Stepping into the elevator, you pressed the floor where a guy named “Patrick Bateman” would be. You would be working as his assistant, since his last assistant had disappeared mysteriously. No worries though! It’s not like he’s a psycho serial killer or anything (wink wink).

You knocked at his door lighty, his voice immediately yelling out a…

“Come in.”

The door opened when you turned the knob, stepping inside with a suitcase in your left hand. Before you could introduce yourself- he cuts you off as soon as your mouth opened.

“You’ve trailed snow in. There's a bunch of water puddles behind you.”

He said bluntly, furrowing his brows slightly. You began to apologize, only for him to quickly cut you off again.

“I need you to sign some contracts first and introduce yourself. Please, come.”

Patrick said, beckoning you over with his finger as if you were… a dog or something.
