I came back the next morning to a pile of paperback manuscripts piled high in a card board box outside my door. I slowly picked up the box and my bags of purchases and took my stuff inside. I took out a small clock/docking station for my ipod and I turned it on Thank You by Dide and I started decorating my office.I closed my office door and started humming and swaying my hips as I arranged a bouqet of purple roses and peocock feathers for my desk into a lime green vase , then I took out my different versions of Pride and Prejudice. I couldn't do it without Jane's guidance then I reached down to get something out of my purse when I saw a shadow behind me . I turned quickly and saw William hanging in my doorway. I glowered at him.
"What are you doing in here? Your ruining my good mood with your broodiness in my doorway."
"Oh I wouldn't want to do that now would I?" He asked like he was amusing himself by just dealing with me. He glided forward slowly until he reached my roses and laughed as he touched my roses. I slapped his hands away.
"I heard the music. Very calming in here. What's that smell? Are you burning a candle in here?"
"Well it's nice to know it's different in here unlike your sterile office. I don't want to work in something like a hospital room. If I'm going to be somewhere for eight hours a day I might as well enjoy my own decor. And yes I am burning a candle."
"Oh my sweet this office is deffinently different. Your different. Now get to work on those manuscripts before I file a noise complaint." He laughed at his own joke and slowly walked out of my office into his own not shutting either of our doors and started staring at me until I had to close my door. I shivered becuase he was just... emanding I guess I could say. William just gave off a feel of a man that wouldn't say or take no for an answer. He was a master. He was arrogant and as deep as he was beautiful . Or I was hoping he was.
Oh well . I can't just sit here and just try to figure out my handsome boss. I have a job to do
__________________________
These manuscripts were hopeless or so I thought . I wrote in red sharpy on one womans story about her winnie heroine. Give up and just get a dog. I stormed into William's office as I reached the end of the pile of stories and asked him.
"Are any of these Authors serious? Are you just giving me the sucky people to sort through so you can get all the good stories? Are you trying to torture me with people who have no clue how to write???" I shreiked after I threw him a copy of a five hundred page book about a horse being free in a pasture.
William looked at me funny and then smiled.
"You passed."
"I passed what William?"
"You passed my test. I had no idea of what degree of a book editor you are and you just proved you worth. You know trash from classics. So you will still have to work for better stories but your not at the bottom of the barrell as an editor anymore. Soo before I change my mind , get out of my office and be happy . "
"Your an ass but thank you."
"Your welcome ."
"William before I'm through with you, you won't be an ass anymore."
I smiled evilly.
"Uh huh. We'll just have to see about that Janey. Now move your ass out of my office."
"Yes sir." I said fake soluting him and walking back accross the hall to my office with a smile on my face.
Maybe William could be a Mr. Darcy? No, No. Maybe I'm just desperate I thought to myself and got back to work.
