I knocked on my boss's office door and he asked me to come in, which I did.

When I entered, he was seated in his chair with his back facing me, engaged in a phone call. I had no choice but to wait patiently until he was done.

As soon as he ended the call, he turned around to speak to me. That was when our eyes met. I froze instantly in shock.

I had just realized that the person I had spoken to so rudely earlier was actually my boss, the same man I was supposed to be serving coffee every morning.

At that time, I had no idea who he was, and I definitely didn't intend to be rude.

His earlier behavior had felt inappropriate, which was what triggered my response. But now, standing in front of him, all I could feel was embarrassment.

The surprise was written on both our faces. I became so shy I couldn't even look directly at him. My face burned with heat, and I quickly dropped my gaze.

I didn't know what to do or say-I just wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole. I wanted the moment to end immediately.

He kept looking at me, just as surprised as I was. After a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke.

"Are you the new intern?" he asked.
"Yes, sir," I replied in a low voice.
"Were you told what you're supposed to do?" he asked again.
"Yes, sir."
"Good," he said. "Take these documents and work on them. Bring them back when you're done."

I took the documents, still unable to fully calm myself. Just as I was about to leave, he added, "You'll also be bringing me coffee every morning. I like it hot, with a bit of sugar."

"Yes, sir," I answered quickly. That was all I could manage. I couldn't find any other words, so I hurried out of the office.

Once I stepped outside, I took a deep breath. I was still trying to process everything that had just happened. I had serious issues with my boss today-enough to possibly get me fired if things had gone differently. Yet, somehow, I still had my job.

Then I paused and thought to myself, why didn't he fire me?

I knew I had disrespected him, even if I didn't know who he was at the time.

And even though he had behaved in a way that pushed me to react, I still couldn't shake the feeling that I had been lucky.

Anyway, I was just grateful I didn't lose my job. Now I needed to find Jenni and tell her everything that had just happened.
