freaky friday • the nursery nurse

board of directors

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

sat around the table were mia, carly, jodie and marjorie (as reece, marjorie, mia and siobhan). a board of directors meeting had been scheduled for later that morning, how unfortunate.

carly was insanely worried at the fact that on roger's right was marjorie, as she's now siobhan. she knew marjorie would snap if roger even looked in her direction and that wouldn't end well. reece had told her all about what he'd done over the years.

herself and mia were sat together which was much to mia's dismal but they had to as 'managers'.

the gathering commenced and roger began by addressing performance levels among the staff.

"jodie, has she been improving at all? if not then we will be letting her go." roger questioned carly (marjorie). before carly could answer, jodie's head snapped at the sound of her name.
"yah? what's up?" jodie (as mia) remarked with a daft look on her face.

mia (as reece) facepalmed and groaned.
"what? you said my name." jodie (mia) kept on going. she still did not understanding the severity of the situation.
"mia maybe you should- leave?" roger choked up. he assumed this was another one of mia's plans to ridicule him and he wasn't having it.

"oh totes sure!" she stumbled when she stood up and then tripped through out of the doorway. roger huffed and continued,
"god she never gets any better," he mumbled to himself.
"pardon?" mia heard and piped up, momentarily forgetting that she was reece. "i meant continue." she corrected herself.
"yes. so, jodie's performance..."

the meeting carried on for roughly half an hour before hell broke loose again. everybody was keeping up their act successfully until roger went to wrap his arm around his girlfriend, 'siobhan'.

marjorie had been waiting anxiously for him to do this and so had everyone else, purely because of the reaction she'd give. mia knew roger wouldn't react well. he would most likely explode at siobhan later for embarrassing him, he had done it to her far too many times.

as roger slithered his arm around marjorie's right shoulder mia intervened. she darted up and placed her body half covering carly. she started, "father i think this meeting is over with. wouldn't you agree?"

"reece sit yourself down," roger ordered.

"no. in fact, i really need siobhan's help over at my nursery. the computer system crashed earlier." she shot back at him.

he scanned his eyes over mia's and siobhan's bodies with squinted eyes and shook his head in dissent. with a wave of his hand, he concluded the meeting and stormed out of the room.

the three had begun to filter out of the space. once carly had given her apologies and left, mia caught marjorie on the threshold of the conference room.

"hey marj, you've never looked better." she winked at the woman.

marjorie shifted her eyes away from her and replied, "what do you want mia?" she was clearly shaken up by the encounter.

she sighed, "no i didn't do that in your defense. i was simply getting bored and i couldn't be bothered to listen to your complaining." mia rolled her eyes and went to walk off but marjorie's words stopped her.

"mia do you think somethings going on with roger and siobhan at home?" it killed her to ask her enemy a question but her thoughts were drowning her. earlier with vivian was weird. for starters, how flirty she was with siobhan, the cold and heartless witch. second was the question she asked. she only asked mia because she spent twenty years as his puppet. surely she'd recognise the signs.

"it seriously took you that long? everyone knows he isn't the greatest. she's only in it for the money marjorie. and anyway, there's nothing you could do about it to get her out." she walked out as soon as she finished her sentence. 

marjorie was left speechless and feeling helpless. she could only hope that vivian would be able to save her.
