Desires Grip: The Boss's Demands

_Chapter 8: The Boss's Demands_

As Emily sat in the corner of the company café, savoring a piece of cake and trying to blend in, She couldn't help but feel like an outsider. The other employees seemed to be gossiping and glancing her way, but she tried to ignore them. She knew she was the new girl, and  was determined to prove herself.

Just as she was starting to relax, Shawn stormed into the café, his presence commanding attention. "Emily, follow me," he barked, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Emily felt a shiver run down her spine as she quickly got up and followed him to his office. What did he want now? She wondered.

As they entered his office, he closed the door behind them and turned to face him. "I don't pay you to socialize, I pay you to work," he said, his eyes piercing. "I expect to see results, not you sitting around eating cake all day."

She felt a surge of defensiveness, but she bit her tongue. "Yes, sir," she replied, trying to sound calm.

Shawn walked over to his desk and picked up a file. "I have a new project for you. I want you to increase our social media presence by 20% in the next two weeks. Can you handle that?"

She nodded, feeling a sense of determination. "Yes, I can handle it."

Shawn raised an eyebrow. "Good. I expect to see progress reports every day. And Emily?"

"Yes?" She replied, looking up at him.

"Don't disappoint me," he said, his voice low and menacing.

She felt a shiver run down her spine as she left his office, wondering what she had just gotten herself into.

As Emily settled into her new role as marketing director, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease around her new boss, Shawn. His behavior was unpredictable, and his demands were mounting. He seemed to take great pleasure in making her life difficult, and Emily found herself walking on eggshells around him.

Despite the challenges, Emily was determined to prove herself. She threw herself into her work, pouring over marketing strategies and brainstorming innovative ideas. But no matter how hard she worked, Shawn always seemed to find fault.

One day, as Emily was working on a project, Shawn stormed into the room, his face red with anger. "What is this?" he thundered, slamming his fist on the table. "This is not what I asked for. Do it again, and this time, get it right."

Emily felt a surge of frustration, but she kept her cool. "I apologize, Shawn, I.. I mean  boss. I'll redo the project immediately."

Shawn glared at her, his eyes flashing with annoyance. "See that you do," he growled, before turning on his heel and stalking out of the room.

As the days went by, Emily found herself growing more and more exhausted. Shawn's demands were relentless, and she began to feel like she was losing herself in the process. She wondered if she had made a terrible mistake by taking this job, and if she would ever be able to escape Shawn's tyranny, this was indeed a deal she made with the devil.
