Christmas Shenanigans

Amy hummed along to the Christmas music, that played softly through the speakers in her office. It was a quiet day in Carter Industries for the female CEO, mainly one filled with paperwork that needed to be signed and a few phone calls. The snow fall was slow and light, but Amy would stop to take in the drifting flakes.

"Do you ever do any work?" a voice asked from the doorway.

Amy turned to see three familiar faces just inside her office. All three were grinning and full of mischief in their eyes.

"Do you? Because if memory serves me correctly, all of three of you still live off of your trust funds and don't work to earn an outside income," she retorted as she moved back to her desk to sit in the large comfy chair.

Oliver stepped further into the room, until he was just on the other side of the desk. "Come on, Amy, not all of us finished our schooling," he said as he looked at her through his lashes.

Amy rolled her eyes at his pathetic excuse attempt, before she turned her attention to some paperwork on her desk. "Is there any particular reason why you're here? The three of you, troublemakers," she asked as her eyes scanned the details of the inventory list that had been provided to her.

"Just wanted to visit our favorite person," Tommy answered as he joined Oliver.

Amy's hand paused in picking up her pen as she looked at Tommy, with sharp eyes she studied the three men in front of her with a frown. "What did you do this time?"

Luke burst into laughter, he knew his sister would be suspicious of their sudden appearance. "Told you," he sang aloud.

"Oliver, Tommy, what did you do?" she asked as the two avoided her gaze.

Neither answered her question. She turned her eyes to her older brother. "Luke, what happened?" she demanded with an annoyed sigh.

"We may or may not have covered your lobby downstairs in fake snow. And put mistletoe in every elevator," he answered with a proud grin on his face.

Brown eyes were rolled, as Amy pulled up the security feed to her lobby. Sure enough, her lobby was covered in fake snow. "Of course you did this. Well, it certainly looks festive," she admitted with a soft smile. "Just leave my office alone, if you're going to be redecorating the building."

Three grown men all smiled as they ran from the office. Amy suspected they were off to do more holiday decorating of Carter Industries, but didn't dare stop their fun. Instead she grabbed her phone and called security to forewarn them of the incoming tricksters.
