I received a reply almost immediately, even before the lift had reached its
destination.
Olive:'LOL! Gotcha.. did you meet them then ? Did you freak ?
tell me everything! Does Jared look as hot as ever? N'aawwwww, sorry babes,
had to be done. You know me!xoxo'
Yeah, I do know you, you fucking witch. Heads
are gonna roll when I get home ! I thought to myself.
I quickly text her back before walking into my bosses office for no doubt
my daily bollocking for absolutely fuck all.
PEARL:'Awww yeah ! I'll totes
fill you in, if you survive the blow to your head when I knock you the fuck
out when I get home tonight xoxox' -- message straight back,
OLIVE: 'love ya !
xoxox'
The next hour and a half went by VERY SLOWLY... Like super slow mo- but real
life. My boss was talking at me and I was writing down everything he wanted
me to do for the remainder of the day, which ended up being like a small
novel of chores to do on his behalf. I absentmindedly typed them down in my
phone.
"And thats about it for the time being Pearl, thank-you very much indeed." My
god even his voice was boring... Get me out of here asap.
"Oh and could you pop over to the cafe and get me a Ham and Cheese sandwich
on wholemeal bread, no butter, no salad just a smidge of mayonnaise and a
sprinkle of black pepper." He looked me up and down, his eyes assaulting
every part of my body. My god I wanted to punch him in his sly, pervy face.
"You look really good today, that skirt hugs you in all the right places"
Christ in cashmere I have to get out of here before I throw up all over his
ugly suit. Fucking creep.
"You got it boss, I'll be right back" I say in the cheeriest voice I can
muster, trying to hide my utter disdain.
I almost sprint out of his office, which is surprising for me, and make my
way to the lift. I punch the button to the 10th floor so I can get my bag
to get myself some lunch too. I walk to the receptionists desk where my other
good friend Amy is situated and she throws me a sympathetic expression...
"That bad huh ?!" she tentatively asks.
"Mate, if I could KILL him with my bare hands and make it look like an
accident, we'd be fake crying at his fucking funeral next week. Gauranteed."
"I'm sure he's not that bad Pearl, he's always been very nice to me. Maybe
you just misunderstand him ? I think he's quite a good boss." After she said
that her face dropped, because mine must have been a picture.
"Not that bad ? Misunderstood ? Amy, why don't you just go and get off with
him ? Just walk right up to him and snog him, christ, go and have his babies
if he's that perfect. This is a man who asked me to SPELLCHECK the word
JOURNALIST. He's the editor in chief of a fucking Newspaper Amy ! Fuck me.
Right, I gotta get out of here, I need some lunch and your mind has clearly
taken a swan dive off a cliff,so I'll see you in an hour" She smiled at me
and flipped me off but she knew my point was valid. More than valid.
-"Ohhh I could eat something... It's kind of boring waiting around..."
Shannon. Fuck. "Hey, mouth almighty" he said smiling.
