About The Assistant
Two women. One office. A fight to the death. Laura has sacrificed a lot for her high-powered career - her marriage, the chance to have kids. Now, finally, she's in line for a big jump up the corporate ladder - all the way to the boardroom. But there's a fly in the ointment in the shape of beautiful Vanessa, a lowly assistant who seems to have it in for Laura. Vanessa is PA to Hank, the most powerful executive in the company, a man whose support Laura desperately needs if she is to secure the job of her dreams. Repelled by Laura's naked ambition, fiercely possessive of her boss, Vanessa deliberately sabotages Laura's every attempt to make a good impression on Hank. Laura threatens and cajoles but Vanessa just won't play fair. Soon their mutual dislike escalates to an all-out war. But career-obsessed Laura has always been willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead. And if Vanessa stands in her way ... she's going to pay the ultimate price.
