Allen Rivera has four assistants: Fiona Lake, Lucas Tucker, Ray Cooper, and Juliet Stewart.
The assistants generally have between one to three years of experience. Among Allen's four assistants, only Fiona has been with him for two years; the others are newcomers who joined the office this year.
Last time Jane McCain asked him why he was so tired, Allen half-jokingly said: "Because I have so many assistants."
Having a capable assistant can make his work twice as efficient, but managing a bunch of newcomers significantly reduces his work efficiency, not to mention the time and effort needed to teach and guide them.
Especially with the year-end approaching, Allen has to conduct performance evaluations for the assistants, summarize their performance, and handle miscellaneous paperwork, which occupies a lot of his time.
No wonder he was so keen on getting Purple Summers to be his assistant back then.
The assistant who opened the door was Ray Cooper.
