"You can't tell me what the hell to do," Adam glared at her. His face was turning a deep shade of red that she briefly wondered if he was boiling from the inside out. She heard the door open and internally sighed as multiple footsteps headed her way.
"The hell I can't," she glared right back at him. She put her hand on Justin's shoulder and pushed up so she was now standing on the fence so she could be eye level with the fuming man baby. "I guess you forgot the last time I put you in your place so let me use small simple words so that you can understand," she tightened her grip on Justin's shoulder so he took a small step closer to her. "Yes I am a bitch and this is MY ranch, I own every single building, animal, and person on this ranch. Those men that you say are your boss are MY employees, I pay them, I am their boss. That means I am YOUR boss. And guess what, you nitwick, that means I am THE BOSS BITCH. As YOUR boss bitch, that means that I get to tell you what to do. I am the one writing your paycheck, not them, you would know that if you ever looked at it, that is my signature at the bottom, not Owen's, Jackson's or any of the other men in that house, my name, you cretin." She dug her fingers into Justin's shoulder a little more but both of them knew that only they felt it or saw it. "Now, given that I am your boss, that means I have the right to tell you what to do on MY ranch and you agreed to it when you signed the contract to work on MY ranch. Since you are now breaking your contract, that means I have the right to fire you. Oh, and if you decide to try and file for false termination, I'll go ahead and burst that bubble right here and now. It states in the contract that I can fire you for any reason that I see fit, and guess what? Threatening MY animals warrants that you are a threat to not only animals but my staff as well, which gives me the right to fire you. Oh and one more thing, I guess you forgot about it but I have cameras everywhere on my ranch, which means I have on record you threatening my animals so don't even try and waste anyone's time with false reports either. Now for some clarification on your simple pea sized brain, those men are not pussy whipped, they just respect that this is MY family ranch and they don't have a problem with having a BITCH as their boss, it's called not being a misogynistic asshole, you prick! Now as for Justin, yes he is this bitch's best friend so that earns him special titles and respect around here but that's because he has fucking earned the role. He has been there for me for years through the good times and the bad times, he has proven his loyalty to not only me but my family over and over and he has NEVER disrespected me. He has earned the role of being my best friend and right hand man and if you don't fucking like it, get the fuck over it because I do not care."
Spotting movement behind Adam, she grinned, "Oh Officer Romeo, Ayden, thank you so much for coming. Please escort this," she sneered down at him, "thing off my property and Officer Romeo, I give you full permission to access my camera footage, I want to press charges for threatening animal abuse and threatening me as well. If you find any other charges, I will be more than glad to press those as well."
"Yes Ma'am," Romeo and Ayden nodded as Romeo pulled his handcuffs out of his utility belt.
"YOU BITCH!" Adam lunged toward her but she remained still on the fence. Romeo quickly tripped Adam, making him face plant into the dirt. Ayden pressed on his spine as Romeo quickly handcuffed him. As they moved to pull him up, Alice just raised her eyebrow at him like she was questioning his sanity.
"Anyway," she said calmly, "Steve, once Justin is done making Zero's bottles for me and the rest of his chores, I want you to take him out on the company card and make sure he has a great weekend off. I don't want to see either of you until Monday morning, am I understood?"
"Boss!" Justin gasped while blushing.
"Crystal clear, Boss Lady," Steve smirked mischievously.
"Owen Blackbourne and Dakota Lee, I need you to check over the financial papers and find out why I am finding discrepancies from my books and what is inputted into the computer. Dr. Sean Green and Axel Toma, you will be assisting the vet today on our new mustang and giving everyone their yearly vaccines. Lucian Taylor, North Taylor, Jackson Burton, and Marc Lee, you will be heading to the grocery store, our supplies are starting to run low. Gabriel Coleman, you have a meeting in an hour to speak with a new client on creating personalized gear for our animals, I am tired of everything looking so plain. The directions have already been emailed to you. Corey Henshaw and Victor Morgan, our security clearly needs to be updated so that is your responsibility. Brandon Henshaw and Silas Korba there are some posts and fencing in the very back field that is rotten and falling down, that needs to be fixed immediately before MY horses are released for their afternoon exercises. I won't risk wildlife coming in and startling them and potentially getting hurt in the process. Nathan Griffin, Jasper Becker, and Yevgeny Ravensthal, you will be training the new helpers on their hand to hand combat and gun training. Now, if that is all, I have some work to do. Any questions?" She raised her eyebrow again in a 'I dare you' motion while staring down Adam who was fuming.
"No Ma'am," everyone said at once.
"Man, that was so fucking hot," Luke loudly whispered to Gabe who just nodded while adjusting himself.
"Did you hear what I heard?" North asked Silas.
"Yes, I did," Silas nodded.
"She said she owns us," North smirked.
"Of course that is all you heard," Silas chuckled.
"Oh I heard everything but I don't fucking care about the rest," North continued to smirk as they walked off toward the rest of the group.
"Justin, I've changed my mind," she said as she blatantly ignored Adam's screams as Romeo and Ayden dragged him away. "I will make Zero's bottles before I tackle what I need to get done today, Mr. Henshaw and Mr. Morgan will take over your chores. Steve, get him out of here," she bent down and kissed Justin's cheek before turning back to Steve and pointed her finger at him, "Do not do anything reckless and I mean it, I want him back first thing Monday morning."
Steve's mischievous smirk only grew while he nodded, "yes Ma'am."
"Boss Lady," Justin sighed as he grabbed her hips and lowered her to the ground.
She hugged him then smiled, "Go have fun, just not too much to where you want to leave me."
He chuckled, "Never, Boss, I told you, you are stuck with me forever." He tapped her nose, "see you Monday morning, Boss."
A throat being cleared had her turn around and blush as she looked up at Dr. Roberts, "Well, do I dare ask why Romeo's cop car is here and what the hell just happened?"
