Who: Mia, Mark, and Glibt What: Another mortal let in on the secret When: Thursday afternoon Where: Mark's office Warnings: Language.
Used to weird occurrences around the office, Mia wasn't upset about Tuesday night's show. The way he'd come out? Well, it was just so entirely Mark. There was no possibly way that she could be angry with him for that. She remembered coming out to her own parents and how nerve wracking it had been, so she couldn't be mad at him for the actual act of coming out. It was the fact that she'd been lied to. Not to mention, Mia couldn't help but feel absolutely horrible for Maggie who seemed like a perfectly nice woman and who Mark had obviously used as nothing more than a beard to mask his true feelings. Coming out was a deeply personal act, but she'd been Mark's assistant for five years now. They were close and he certainly knew her sexuality. She hated to think that he hadn't thought he could trust her with his own.
Mia started out Thursday telling herself that she wasn't going to continue brooding about the situation, but at work she was surrounded by it. The sour look on her face as she sat behind her desk simply wouldn't disappear. She knew it wasn't about her, but she felt betrayed and having to field calls from the media and questions from Mark's colleagues about the whole thing wasn't helping her mood in the least.
Nor did it help that the writers had taken her obvious annoyance in stride as their newest material for the afternoon. "Obviously, she's upset because now it's been confirmed that she'll never be able to fuck him."
"It's called Anderson Cooper Syndrome," Samarth commented after Kevin spoke.
"Get. Off. My. Desk." Mia pushed Kevin off of her desk as she stood up with files in her hands. The look she shot at Samarth might have caused a lesser man to piss his pants. "It's not the fucking Writer's Room Comedy Hour all day, okay? I'm not in the mood."
Ryan shrugged at her from his place leaning against the door frame. "You're pissed because he didn't come out to you first. It's a completely legit thing to tease you about because it's ridiculous."
"I never said I was pissed, and even if I was, it wouldn't be because he didn't tell me first, it'd be because he blatantly lied about it for a year and used his boyfriend's sister as a decoy. Which is even worse, because I'm almost positive his sister is actually gay," She said, rather loudly all things considered. Even as her cheeks colored, Mia pursed her lips and turned on her heel, stalking towards Mark's office door. She was mad at him, certainly, but she still had to talk to him.
