"What's Mr. Lyman going to have me do, Donna?"
"I really don't know." Donna said, guiding her to Josh's office. "But,
knowing Josh, it will probably be something he can bother me with for the
rest of the day."
Stevie's eyebrows shot up as she detected an almost transparent undertone to
Donna's words ... almost transparent, but not enough to get by Stevie. She
made a mental note and filed it away for future reference as Donna steered
her into Josh's office.

An hour or so later, Stevie was ... well ... she wasn't sure what she was
doing. All she knew was it involved lots of papers, a rolodex, and a pencil.
She looked up at Josh as he leaned over to check her progress.
"Hey, you're doing a great job. Almost as good as Donna."
"Really?"
"Yep," Josh answered. "But not quite as good as Donna..."
"What does Donna do here?" Stevie asked.
"Well, she assists me." Josh said, leaning back in his chair. "She's my right
hand. I really don't know what I'd do without her. Sometimes she knows more
about what I'm doing that I do..."
Stevie smiled, an idea forming in the back of her head, "She's really pretty."
"Yes, she is." Josh agreed.
Stevie's eyes lit up at the sound of Josh's voice. Chi-Ching!
"Hey," Josh said, snapping Stevie back to reality. "Do me a favor, run those
papers out to Donna and tell her to come in here..."
"Sure." Stevie said, rising out of her seat.
"And, don't tell Donna I think she's a great assistant. She'll start getting
sassy with me."
Stevie paused at the doorway, unable to choke back the comment, "Isn't she
already sassy to you now?"
Josh rolled his eyes, "Just get going."
Stevie grinned, "I'm a getting, I'm a getting."
