Lola Davis
I sat in my office reading this spread for this local magazine. I sigh as I just gave up, my boss wanted me to find a new look for the magazine. I was fine with the look we have focusing on black women. I didn't know what else it needed.
"Ms.Davis Mr.Carter want to see you in his office." My assistant Natalie said.
"Ok." I said.
I stood up and pulled down my skirt and walked to my boss office. He sat in his chair reading papers, I cleared my throat and he looked up.
"Hello Ms.Davis." He say.
"Hello Mr.Carter you wanted to see me?" I asked.
"Yes well I have come up with a new look for our magazine I was thinking more petite women with lighter skin." He said.
I scrunched up my face and looked at him.
"So you're saying you want to change the face of the magazine to white women?" I asked.
"That's not what I'm saying I said lighter." He said.
"So what's wrong with the magazine now?" I asked.
"People are focused on more women with light skin and petite bodies and that's what I want." He said.
"As a black women I feel offended because you're degrading black women." I said.
"See that's what I brought you in here for...I'm hiring a whole new staff so." He said looking at me.
"So Wait you're firing me because you want light skin workers wow." I said shocked.
"Sorry but we've got to let you go." He said.
I nodded and tucked my lips in.
"YOU UNCLE TOM ASS MOTHER FUCKER!" I yelled as I pushed all the things off his office.
"JESUS CHRIST SECURITY!" He yelled.
Security immediately came in and escorted me out of his office.
"Let me get my shit." I said walking to my office.
I went to my office and grabbed my things. I sigh as I did my walk of shame to the elevator. I sat my things in the back of my car and pulled off from the office.
I pulled up to my condo and sigh. I didn't even want to go in, my thoughts were interrupted by my cousin Anessa calling.
"Hello." She said.
"Hey wassup." I said.
"Where you at?" She asked.
I stepped out of my car and closed the door.
"Home why wassup?" I asked.
"You home early." She said.
"Yeah I got fired." I said.
