Bayles, come on.
A little eye candy never hurt anyone.
It's not that simple,Rach.
Look, I get it.
He's a pain.
But you're better than this, Bailey.
Don't let him get to you.
Easier said than done.
But still doable.
You've dealt with worse.
I stareat her message for a moment. She is right. I had faced tougher challenges in my life than Logan Fucking Atwood.
You're right,Rach.
I can handle this.
That's the spirit, Bayles!
Now go show him who's boss.
Boss Bitch Mode:Activated.
Reading our conversation again,I'm a little less annoyed, a little more empowered. I lock my phone screen and get back to my work for the morning.

It's after lunch break,and I still haven't heard a peep out of Logan.
He's probably somewhere floundering with this project.
I laugh to myself at the thought of Logan fumbling his way through the project. The image of him struggling with a task that didn't involve charming women or flashing his money was amusing.
Yes, karma is indeed, a bitch.
I'm about to immerse myself in the pile of papers on my desk, when an email notification pulls my attention away. The subject line reads: "Re: Logan's Analysis." I raise an eyebrow.
Already?
I click it open, and the content of the email makes my jaw drop. It's from our head of sales, a man known for his absurdly high standards.
"Bailey, I'm impressed. The analysis that Logan provided was fantastic. Detailed, insightful, and it pinpointed several areas where we can improve. Not what I expected from a newbie. You're doing a great job training him. Keep up the good work. - Carl"
I stare at the screen in disbelief.
This has to be a joke. Logan? Impress Carl?
I slam the laptop shut, my frustration bubbling over.
He's been here for one day and he's already the office hero?
