—million dollar man
you're screwed up & brilliant, look like a million dollar man. so why is my heart broke? — kendall roy x officeassistant!reader ; ✎° ༶
You've just finished topping off your coffee mug when someone else enters the break room.
You glance up, giving the man a kind smile. "Want me to pour you a cup?"
He pauses, studying you for a moment.
Do you not know who he is?
He shakes his head. "No, thanks."
You nod, placing the pot back into the machine.
"I don't think I've seen you around here before. You new?" He asks, leaning back against the marble counter, crossing his arms.
You blow on your coffee for a moment, looking at him with wide eyes as you take a sip. You shake your head then. "No, I just started not quite two weeks ago."
That explains it then, Kendall thinks.
You extend a hand toward him. "I'm Y/N. I work just down the hall as an office assistant."
He slides his hand into yours. "Ken. Mail room."
He doesn't entirely know why the fuck he lies about it—himself.
He should be irritated by the fact you're working here—standing in one of his—rather, his father's breakrooms—drinking his coffee, while he pays your bills, all while you have no idea who his son and, at the very least, hopeful, heir is.
But to be treated like anyone else for a moment... to just loosen and relax while talking to a pretty girl—there's something about playing pretend in this moment that he finds appealing. So, he allows the ruse to continue.
You wrap your hand back around your mug. "I'm surprised they make you wear suits down there."
He blanks, but only for a moment. "Job interview, hoping to move up a couple floors."
You smile, and he finds it adorable. "I hope it goes well!"
Your phone chimes then, signaling the end of your break. "Well, I have to get back to work, but it was nice to meet you, Ken."
"You too."
You turn to head out of the breakroom, until he speaks from behind you. "See you tomorrow. Maybe."
You turn, looking at him over your shoulder, curls falling down your back as you give him another warm smile. "Maybe."
kendall roy may have the world at his feet and more sycophants than he can count at his beck-and-call, but what he lacks is any sort of real connection. with anyone. including his parents, siblings, even his wife and child.
enter you, new office assistant to waystar royco. some nobody...who comes to mean everything to him.
your life starts out in a tiny apartment while you barely scrape by, until a new friend comes into your life, brightening your days. he gives you something to look forward to when you come into work every morning.
and then you learn the truth...and that you've been being lied to for weeks.
not only do you feel humiliated for being so stupid and blind, but also somehow used. until he explains what your brief conversations, and lunches, and texts have meant to him.
reluctant to part ways, you forgive him, if not cautiously—now paranoid that one wrong step could land you in hot water and cost you your job.
until somewhere down the road, a question is asked that changes your life, ensuring you'll never want for financial stability ever again.
plotting:
reader only discovers the truth after a co-worker of hers catches her & kendall coming back from lunch together one day & she's all "how the hell do you know kendall roy?!"
"ken...kendall roy? he said his name...no. he never said—"
"are you like...sleeping with him or something?"
"no! of course not!"
the next day ken thinks all is well & good, until she barely speaks to him. he pushes her to find out what's wrong & she lets him see just how upset she is. goes so far as to tell him she's afraid to tell him she is, bc she's terrified it could cost her her job.
he apologizes profusely, desperate to fix things just as they're ready to break, afraid to lose her. so he tells her just that.
perhaps a bit reluctantly, she forgives him.
but now that the cat is out of the bag...he can start taking her on proper dates that aren't just down the street for lunch (which he paid for every time, btw).

Personality Quiz, Secretarial Training Program in Waco, TX, 1959 (NARA ID 7280725), shared in session on self-analysis/improvement.
Happy secretaries at a 1959 Dallas conference (NARA ID 7280640).
Don’t forget the importance of “good-grooming”! From The Modern Secretary, Dept. of Labor, (NARA ID 7280719).
“The Modern Secretary,” Dept. of Labor, (NARA ID 7280719).
The TYPEWRITER was essential to the “emancipation of women.” Really??? Not the right to vote? Not birth control? Not the equal rights movement? From “The Modern Secretary,” Dept. of Labor, (NARA ID 7280719).
Proper folding technique is essential! From The Modern Secretary,
“An Ode to the Secretary,” FAA record (NARA ID 7280704).
PANDEMIC PERSONALITY QUIZ! Do YOU have what it takes to be a 1950s secretary?
Another post by Miriam Kleiman, Program Director for Public Affairs, who failed the test (see below). Huge thanks to her colleagues at the National Archives at Fort Worth, archivist Ketina Taylor and education specialist Jenny Sweeney. who shared this great quiz and beautiful tribute in their Text Message blog posts: “Flashback! Secretaries of the 1950s and 1960s: Do You Have What it Takes to be One?” and “An Ode to the Secretary. “
The pandemic offers each of us the opportunity to reflect on who we are, reassess, and make needed personal and professional changes. We offer this quiz and additional info as both a humorous reflection and an important reality check. As we mark this year’s Women’s Suffrage Centennial (see our amazing Rightfully Hers: American Women and the Vote exhibit) we reflect on what’s changed... and what hasn’t.
Background: The Labor Department’s Manpower Division, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, offered helpful tips to federal administrators through secretarial and clerical training programs in a number of cities. The National Archives at Fort Worth holds this Bureau’s records (RG 300) dating from the late 1950s to the late 1960s.
In the 1950s, the #1 job for American women was secretary, and that (rebranded as “admin assistant”) is the same today. Women still comprise more than 93% of the field.
From CNN Business.
Do YOU have what it takes to be a 1950s secretary? Take the quiz and share your score!
Miriam’s test:
Stay tuned: Keep it together during the pandemic: Wear a Girdle!
