*ring ring*
*ring ring*
You opened your eyes to the sound of your phone ringing, reaching over you make out the words 'John D(boss)',
"shit" you mumble, you forgot that you were supposed to go into work at 9:30am today, clearing your voice to make it sound like you were awake, you answered your phone.
"Hey sorry I woke up a little late, and there's so much traffic" you lie as you run to the bathroom and try to fix your hair. You hear a shuffle from the phone before you hear your boss speak
"The roads are clear. Don't lie to me, you're still home aren't you?"
"... Y-yes- I'm sorry I guess I forgot to set my alarm last night, I'm almost ready I'll be there as quick as I can"
"Ugh,, listen, there's a meeting at 11:25, I want you to be there, do you understand?... I need someone from every department there and you're inquisitive,,,, but in a good way, so I need you there,, okay?"
trying to listen to everything he was saying you threw on a button up and tucked it into your pants
"yes sir I understand, I'll be there"
*beep beep*
After the phone hung up you tossed it onto your bed and finished getting ready within 10 minutes. It's now 10:27 and you grab your phone, keys, an apple for lunch and you run to you car and turn it on. As you're driving you can't help but think about how your boss sounded on the phone, he sounded mad but also rushed, frustrated is the right word, but he seemed distracted by something, shaking the thought of him away you play music in the car.
As you park your car, you turn off the music as soon as the song ends, figuring you have time to listen to the rest of Call Me By Your Name, checking the time 11:01, you pull down the mirror to make sure you look good for work, fixing your hair and rubbing the stress from your face, you take a deep breath and get out of your car. Walking in you see your friend who works in the cubicle next to you, talking to your other coworkers Julia and Malcolm, you walk up to him and greet him with a dap up,
"hey Wyatt, have you seen John? Is he mad-?"
"Ahaha of course he is, you pissed him off dude, he was walkin around asking for you, and I *think* he put a note on your desk, not sure tho, he was like, standin there for a few minutes" he said while laughing
You felt dread seep into your body as you look at your work space, chuckling in fear as you walk to your desk, a little sticky note on your computer read
"11:25 Y/N.
you better be there."
Groaning you take the post it note and throw it in the little trash bin next to your desk. You set your stuff down and go clock in, then return to ask Wyatt about any work that your department has received in the start of the day.
