My boss's boss

I got to the office and there was Nathaniel sitting comfortably in his big chair. He had only said "Come" when I had knocked on his office door instead of the usual "you may come in" . He's probably not in the mood to play around,as if he is ever in the mood.
Sidney"Sir, you called for me to.."
Nath"Yes yes, put that on down. There's something more urgent."
Something did a flip in my stomach. More urgent? Last I remembered him saying urgent was when 8 gangsters had their guns aiming at his head, me in a death grip by their leader and he buying time with a long speech supposed to help find the password to a non existent gunnery he had hidden beneath his office while our backups were on their way.  More  urgent?
Nath: " Sidney, I'm not Josh. Josh is my boss."
Sidney: "You have a boss? Sir, I know; everyone in this agency knows, that you are the overall boss"
Nath: "Are you here to tell me what you think you know or to keep quiet and listen to me?"
Sidney:" Sorry sir"
Nath:" Josh has been viewing your profile and progress. He wants you at his place this evening. (Sigh) Says you should wear this"
He handed me a shiny black dress which I honestly think would fit my little sister better. It was to small, to short, too...not business like.
Sidney :"Sir..."
Nath :"Go"
I reluctantly but helplessly got up and made my way to the door.
Nath:" Sidney?"
I turned round quickly, hoping he would tell me to put down the dress. I had turned round to quickly because something about his eyes had changed immediately I looked at him. Was it pity? Hurt? Triumph? Or maybe even love? I couldn't quiet catch it but I knew one thing, whatever emotion he had hidden was not meant to be on the face of almighty Josh."Good luck" was all he said and with that he waved me of. I walked out of the office and it hit me, what is Josh's address? I turned round and knocked timidly on my boss's door with my heart in my mouth. I'm bothering him aren't I? He would have me beheaded for disturbance.
