COLLUSION

Just a little taste

-Aliyna

Who knew that returning to work wasn't going to be easy, like I knew I was gone for a few months at best 6 weeks but did everyone forget to function while I was gone or something?

Sitting in a director meeting with my highest paying employees, trying to get an insight on what all of them have been up to since I have been gone, trying to get a taste of the projects that I have left them in charge of since my departure.

And what are they serving me?

Absolutely. fucking. nothing.

These morons who sit before me with their multi thousand dollar suits, watches and hair-do would not even remember their own head if it weren't attactched to their necks. 

"So your telling me" I take a second to register my words "that I gave you 6 months with more than 2 million dollers in resources to get this project off the fucking ground and on top of all that, I give you the best team we have to achieve that, not to mention an extra month and a half due to my departure and you have done nothing?" I stare point blank at the man to my right, his crisp blue bulladro suit is pissing me off because its my money that I pay him with that he was able to pay for that.

"In almost 8 months you haven't done the one thing I asked you to do? and that was to get off your ass and start working for the money i'm fucking paying you for?" My anger starts to show as my words become harsher and harsher.

The tension in the room is thick, but i'm not done "Give me one good reason, why I shouldn't fire you on the spot" 

I wait for his response, there is none. The silence in the room is defeaning and its going to drive me insane. More than the man on the right whose about to loose his job.

I sigh before returning my focus to the door where security stands "Security, please escort him and out and ensure that he packs up his office"

Two securty guards immediately come forward and attempt to take his ass off of my seats

"No wait please, Miss Lodge I can fix this just give me more time" he pleads.

But his pleas are no good, I gave them one job and that wasn't even that hard.

"Pleaing for more time isn't helping your case" His back his against the securirty guards as they escort him out.

Man have I missed this.

"Would anyone else like to tell me what they have been up to for the past few months?" I speak to all the other powerful members of my directors board, waiting for one of them to slip up so I can fire him next.

"The Cosmetics line was a hit" one of the directors that sit on the left side hands me a folder, I make a stern eye contact with him as I gesture for one of the assistants to hand me the folder.

I open and examine the contents of the folder as he continues speaking "Consumers and the intended audience are really loving the products we are putting out there with this line and theme, they are leaving great reviews which have upped our sales by 37% in the last month since you've been gone." I return my attention to man speaking.

"the past week I have gathered a team to start designing a new line following the familiar model and plan as the last for maximum sales and revenue, that way we can follow a design that people will like and that we know will sell" He finishes speaking.

sales being increased by almost 40% in only a month and a few weeks is very good, I would know because the cosmetic line was my idea, however Jason put the plan together.
