Sugar Coated

"Dear Secretary, please go and get me a cup of coffee," Victor chanted that Friday evening. He looked away from his laptop screen for a while and relaxed his hands to avoid Repetitive Strain Injury...managing a company was hard.

Dear Lord, was the woman deaf? Victor gritted his teeth, she pissed him off. Victor might seem rude but Angelica was a hurricane, jokes aside, she was always over-enthusiastic, like she had 6 bowls of cheerios in the morning. Well, maybe, Victor thought and he was ready to walk up to that Angelica Smith who was sorting some files in an oak cabinet.

"H..huh?" Angelica yelled as she came out of her deep thoughts of thinking how to properly arrange the files. Victor stared at her with a plain expression and she gulped. She knew that he would sack her...why not? She screwed up more times than a polar bear farted. Angelica tried not to chuckle as she thought about the polar bear, but Victor stood up and marched up to her.

"I told you to get me a cup of coffee, are you deaf or WHAT?!" Victor yelled as he totally lost his temper and Angelica jumped and she accidentally hit the flower pot which was in the corner and it shattered into tiny pieces like Victor's patience.

"Boss, I..I..am s..sor," Angelica muttered but Victor silenced her in a firm voice," Not one more word, leave my office for the day and tell someone else to send the coffee and you may go home for the rest of the day!"

Angelica was happy, she got half of the say off, which means, she would be able to go the mall and get that sexy top she wanted and she could also get her Candyfloss some treats. Victor saw her beaming face and he so wanted to prick her imaginary bubble.

Angelica made her way to the door but then Victor decided to shatter her dreams," I am cutting half of your salary this month, dear secretary,"

Angelica turned around shocked and she noticed the smirk on Victor's face,"You can't do this boss, how am I gonna survive in this cruel world? How will I manage to take a shower if I don't have money to pay the water bills? How will I feed my Candyfloss? How will I ..." Angelica started whining and Victor just buried his face in his hands, see, that's the kind of crap he has to go through everyday.

"ENOUGH!"Victor yelled and Angelica shut her mouth. Victor walked up to Angelica's face and he had an angry look. Angelica looked down, the white marble floor had a brownish stain on it, damn..the janitor is getting lazier...

"Miss Angelica Smith, you have broken half of the things in my cabin this year, and you should be thankful that I am not cutting your whole salary and I am not done yet, you give me headaches every time and you interrupt me in my work all the time...so I am forced to take actions against you and I really don't care about your damn Candyfloss!" he scoffed and Angelica gasped.

"How can you say such things against my baby cat, I agree that you have issues with me but don't bring my Candyfloss in all this..."

The office scene faded out and this was what normally happened every single day but Victor was used to her and he did not intend to fire her.

Things went on normally until one day, Victor got Angelica along with him for a conference in another region and that's when things started to change...
