Greedy, mean, bossy, careless, disrespectful, rude, narcissistic... That's all everyone has been saying about him, and she never heard otherwise. All these words were running through her head as she was on her way to apply for his secretary. The salary of Onceler's secretary was her only hope at the moment. Despite knowing that his secretaries never lasted long, she was determined to prove him wrong. She couldn't afford not to. With her life already crumbling, she was ready for a change.

This was my first real fanfiction I ever completed. Please, do not judge my writing too harshly. All canonical characters from the Lorax movie belong to Doctor Seuss and Universal Studios. This is a fanfiction about the Onceler and his family (wife and daughter), and how his actions affected them. Enjoy.
