The next day
Omniscient
Kandi recognized Tamika the moment she stepped foot into her office. And although she probably should've been nervous she had no such feeling.
Instead she felt hot all over. She felt like fate had dropped from the heavens and straight into her lap. This untouchable woman from the club who she shared banter with every night now seemed... touchable.
She now had access to just how extraordinary this woman was. She was a boss and of course she expected nothing less by how large her tips were.
Kandi was planning on seeing how long she could play this game. Treated like an after thought by her boss during the day and have her eating out the palm of her hand at night.

"Good morning Ms.Scott! I have the coffee you requested.." I smiled as I sauntered into her office.
She was standing by the door with her phone pressed to her ear as she held a finger up to me, signaling that I give her a second.
I sat the coffee onto her desk and stood by it waiting for her to end the call. From my time here I've observed that she could be very rude. She didn't seem to care for anyone but herself.
As my mind drifted back to our current state I took in her present disposition. She hadn't said much on the call but she was showing signs of obvious irritation.
Her body language was tense, her brows were knitted in anger, and when she finally spoke her tone confirmed it all.
"I don't care what you have to do. Keep pressing for a better deal!" She spoke through gritted teeth.
A few minutes passed before she spoke again to end the conversation. "Check back in with me later with a better deal and we'll discuss."
Moments later her phone was away from her ear and she approached her desk immediately grabbing the coffee cup. She brought it to her lips and sipped it before letting out a satisfied hum.
She sat down at her desk not even glancing in my direction as she went back to her work. The next thing I knew Johnny Gil's 'Rub You the Right Way' played softly throughout her office. I stared at her in awe not believing myself eyes.
Was she really not going to say 'thank you' or at least acknowledge me.
"Um.." I said as I cleared my throat breaking the awkward silence in the room.
"I've sent you a list of everything I expect done before you're done for the day. That'll be all." She said in one breath without ever looking up at me.
"A 'thank you' would be nice.." I mumbled as I turned on my heels and made my way for the door.
"Excuse me?" She questioned much like she did yesterday.
"I said 'yes ma'am.." I said with a sarcastic smile as I turned to briefly glance at her before heading for the door.

"So you mean to tell me, the woman who comes in here with a suit looking for you every night is your new boss?" Tiny asked causing me to nod, reluctantly.
"Oh that's bad.." She said in response to my nod.
"How?" I asked as I adjusted the wig onto my head and placed my melting band on top.
"Because she'll figure you out eventually and what if she thinks you're like stalking her?"
She made a good point. One I surely hadn't thought of before. Unfortunately, I didn't really care. I was more concerned with winning this imaginary game before anything else.
