My Insufferable Boss

10

Today we are finalizing a deal with a very influential client duo of ours. Well not that important but we've been trying to lock them in for months. It's these two friends who have an IT company called Steve & Ryder. They are two fairly young guys who started off their company about 5 years ago and immediately blew up, they made this spyware software which the market loved. They have been making several other programs and now are currently looking for some lawyers as there have been some cases about fraudulent matters as well as copyright and piracy issues basically just people trying to sue them because they have money now so they are kind of desperate.

Most of our clients are older established businesses, signing on people like Steve & Ryder would make our cliental base more diverse leading to newer younger person types wanting to sign with us.

However, I personally wasn't the biggest fan of them the last time I got to meet them. Even though both of them are nearly 30 they act like frat boys, they just were very disgusting and lewd with me. I don't think I can handle working with them if they sign on, so I'm just going to ask Nayel if I can be removed from this account.

I knock on his door and step inside after hearing a come-in.

Nayel recently got a haircut, his hair more trimmed from the sides kind of like an army cut, he looked hot I hate to say this.

"Yes?" Nayel raises an eyebrow.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" I ask.

Nayel leans back in his chair and points to the seat opposite his desk. I nod taking a sit in front of him.

"What can I do for you, Maria?" Nayel asks, his tone flat.

"I would like to be removed from the Steve & Ryder account"

"Well we haven't officially gotten that account yet but why do you want to be removed? Are you planning on a leave of absence?" Nayel asks.

I shake my head, "No, no. I just don't want to work with them"

Nayel furrows his eyebrows, "Why? This would be a major account for you, plus the commission"

I shrug, "I just don't feel comfortable sir"

"What happened?" Nayel asks straight up.

I gulp, "I know I should technically be talking to Holly but she's out sick this week but" I pause, and Nayel nods, "The last two meetings we had with Steve and Ryder, made me very uncomfortable. They kept making moves at me and making remarks about my body. Ryder even grabbed my ass 3 times. I'm just not comfortable working with them. I'm sorry"

A look of rage passes Nayel's face as he fixes his tie, "Noted but I need you for the meeting today, if we get the account you won't ever have to see them again. My word. I'll make sure they don't try anything with you today"

I nod as I get up, "Thank you, sir"

....

I walk into the conference room dreading the meeting. Instantly Ryder's eyes were on my body he was ogling me, undressing me with his eyes and I absolutely hated it.

"How are you doing hot stuff?" Steve winks at me as I sit opposite him. I roll my eyes waiting for Nayel to join us.

"So much attitude I love it" Ryder licks his lips hungrily.

"Get a drink with us after this, what do you say?" Steve wiggles his eyebrows at me.

"I can't I'm working" I mumble opening the contract I bought with me.

"Aw boo hoo, how about you leave work early and we'll pay you the amount you missed out on," Ryder says and the boys laugh making me cringe.

"You're disgusting" I spat at him.

"Can't wait to see your hot ass every week" Steve smirks as his eyes fall to my chest and suddenly I feel exposed and violated.

"Why don't you walk over to the door once, let me see that ass again" Ryder grins.

I open my mouth to say something but Nayel walks in, "Gentlemen" he nods at the men and sits down next to me.

"Shall we get straight into the contracts or do you still have any concerns?" Nayel asks.

Steve and Ryder exchange a look and nod, "No I think we're good. Let's make it official" Ryder smiles and then winks at me. I basically throw up in my mouth.

Nayel takes the contract from me, "This is the one I asked for right?"

I nod, "Yes sir"

"I don't know how you get any work done around here with an assistant as hot as yours Mr. Nayel" Steve smirks at him.

Nayel scowls and looks over at me, Ryder's eyes were fixated on my chest as Steve was going through the contract.

Suddenly Nayel grabs the contract from the table and slides it back to him, he flashes a blatantly forced smile at Steve and Ryder, "Actually, I don't think Jefferson Legal wants to represent your company"

I turn my head to stare at Nayel confused. Steve furrows his eyebrows, "Why not sir?"

"At Jefferson Legal, we do not work with anyone who makes our employees uncomfortable. We do not condone workplace harassment" Nayel says getting up from his seat and opening the door, "You have been harassing my employee every time you're here, please get the fuck out" Nayel spats.

"Harassing?" Ryder huffs, "We just give her a few compliments"

"If she didn't want any compliments maybe she shouldn't dress like a whore" Steve mutters angrily.

"Do you want me to get security? Get out!" Nayel barks. The men collectively glare at me one last time before heading out of the room.

"Screw you, we have plenty of people who want to represent us" Nayel rolls his eyes as Steve flips us off. They are literal childern.

I suddenly look down at my dress, I was wearing a grey sleeveless dress that fell to my knees, did I actually ask for their compliments or what?

"Are you alright?" Nayel asks turning to me.

"You didn't have to do that because of me, their cliental would've been beneficial to us" I bite my lower lip, nervously.

Nayel grits his teeth, "It's not worth working with harassers"

"I'm sorry" I look down at my hands.

"Why are you apologizing?" Nayel asks and I simply shrug.

"Your dress is fine by the way. Even if you were naked they still have no right to harasses you and touch you. They're just pathetic assholes" Nayel says.

"Thank you" I smile at him, he nods and walks out of the conference room.
