A local diner was my first destination of the day. Mr. August woken me out of my sleep just to get espresso and crepes. I didn't have a appetite for any food. I had an appetite for a reason why we are always meeting somewhere, at different times and places without the rest of EFX Companies.

My attire was all over the place. Dingy sweatpants. White, wrinkled, stained from grease t-shirt. Department store brand sneakers and a messy ponytail that is probably nappy. Last but not least my prescription glasses.

"May I ask why we're here?"

"Aren't you hungry? You'll be needing it for today."

"No, I'm fine."

"Well, since you don't want to eat, we will not take breaks until I am done doing what I have to do."

"I'm sorry but what are you talking about? I am very confused."

"Since you are my assistant, I expect you to look your best but it seems like that hasn't happened. I am giving you the opportunity to come with me on a shopping spree to a new wardrobe."

"Mr. August, I don't have a good taste in clothing anymore. I go to the store, get whatever fits and leave with without thinking twice about it."

"That's your problem. Nobody should just throw on anything and be done! I can't stand to look at you majority of the time."

"That's pretty harsh."

"I can be less harsh if you put more effort, lets balance this out. 50/50?"

Seems fair. If this unexpected shopping spree was to help me get on my bosses good side by just wearing some designer heels and coordinated clothing, I am absolutely not hesitating.

I'm up for the challenge.

"Fine, I'll do it. Under one condition..."

"What is it?"

"I won't wear anything that makes me look raunchy."

"This is strictly business we're speaking of. If your slightly interested in the raunchiness, I wouldn't mind, I could use an extra client or two that'll be reeled in."

He stood up and stood his ground strongly. He unbuttoned his two first buttons after putting on his coat, exposing a bare, caramel chest that could possibly feel like silk.

"Are you ready?" My boss asked me. I nodded and starting to walk towards the door leading to outside.

"Ready whenever you are."

He led the way through the streets we walked. Being still tired from last night, I yawned deeply as I followed after Mr. August.
