"And here is where you will sit." Dot told Clary as she showed her to her desk. "Over here is where Alec sits."
"Hi, welcome to the madhouse." Alec greets Clary with a wave of his hand, typing away on his laptop.
"He's Magnus's PA." Dot continues. "You will be his second PA. The one who goes on all the errands around New York. I'll leave you in Alec's capable hands."
"I don't know what Dot has told you, but you will be working from 8 until 6, and will be on call the rest of the time. Weekends included. Ma-Mr Bane has a habit of calling his assistants at all times of the day and night regardless of what you're doing. You must stop what you are doing and cater to whatever he has asked you to do. Understand?"
"Yes. Always have my phone on me."
"These errands can be anything from getting coffee and lunch, to picking up his dry cleaning and even taking his cat to the vets."
"Understood."
"I'm here if you need any help, however, I have my own tasks to do. Here are all the tasks you have to do daily when Mr Bane is in the office." Alec hands Clary a piece of paper with detailed notes on all the tasks she has to carry out. "Mr Bane is not in the office today, but he could call. You have to be ready to do anything he asks of you."
"Right." The phone rings.
"Hello, Magnus Bane's office, Alec speaking."
"Alexander, what's doing on you never answer the phone so formally when I call."
"Your new PA starts today."
"Ah, yes. Put me on speaker"
"Done."
"New girl. Get me 20 scarves from Gucci." Magnus hangs up.
"You heard the man. Go!"
"Where am I meant to take them after I've got them?"
"Here."
Clary walks out. Alec calls Magnus back. "Hello love."
"Did you have to scare her like that, Magnus?"
"Of course, I have to instil fear into her."
Alec shakes his head. "Only you babe. Only you. But why did you send her out for scarves you don't need til next week?"
"To keep everyone on their toes."
"Alec!" Clary calls out.
"Babe, I've gotta go. Clary's coming back. Love you."
"Love you too."
"Alec, what am I meant to pay with?" she says as she walks over to Alec.
"My fault, here." Alec hands her a company card.
"Who were you talking to?"
"My husband. He was just wondering what time I'll likely be home tonight."
"Awe, how long have you been married?"
"Nearly 10 years. Don't you have some scarves to collect?"
"Right. Yes. I'm going."
Clary walks out and Alec breathes a sigh of relief.
