Birthday Special! Okay, now enjoy.
Autumn's POV
Sitting outside of her office, I was scared. I will admit it. This is the fifth time I was late and this is not good. My co-worker, Leah, told me that our boss, Ms. Matthews wanted to see me immediately once I entered the building. I am totally not freaking out right now. Such a lie.
I am shaking out of nerves so much, I might as well be at the North Pole freezing to death. I have to calm down fast, maybe the situation is not bad as it seems. Okay, I'm only kidding myself. I'm going to get fired today. What other explanation explains why want to see me? Eat and chat. No, this is not the Ellen show, no matter how much I wish it was.
"Ms. Black, she will see you now," The secretary tells me, leading me to the devil's office. She sounded so creepy when she said that. She probably gets that from Ms. Matthews.
Not to be rude but in truth our boss is the devil herself. She is very disrespectful in more ways than one. She treats her employees like trash and how she is still here is beyond me. Everyone is scared of her including me.
Knocking on the door with nervous knuckles, I know I'm going to die. Crap. Just go in, Autumn!
"Come in!" Slowly pushing the door, it creaks making me cringe at the sound. Even her office is scary. Just like her.
"Take a seat." No questions asked, I do what she asks. I sit down on the black leather seat keeping my heartbeat down by my deep breaths.
"Do you know why you were called in here?" She taps her long polished nails on the desk board, patiently waiting for an answer.
"N-no," I stutter not wanting to be here other than my bed. I felt like a child being scolded by her parents when she broke a vase. It was utterly ridiculous I was feeling this way but I was and I hated it.
"Are you sure? Miss Black, you should think again if you want a job," She states, her cold eyes staring at me. Straight in the eye that sends me shivers down to my spine.
Why are you so scared Autumn?! She's just a person.
I cough while straightening my body posture, attempting to build the lack of confidence that I desperately need.
"I'm so sorry about this morning. I had a emergency with my-"
She slams her hand on the desk hard. I jump in fright at the sound. "Did I ask?" You did ask, that's why I was answering you back.
"No, I didn't so shut your trap and listen." I flinch at her voice of tone. I was listening the first time, she didn't have to be so rude.
I nod, not trusting my voice to speak. I want to cry so bad but it will get worse if I do.
"Now, now. Did you hear the news?" She grimaces wickedly, I didn't like where this was going. I'm getting a terrible vibe from her and I didn't want anything to do with it or her.
I shake my head unsure of what she's applying and what does the news have to do with me.
"The company's CEO is going to make an appearance. Ah." She moans making me want to get of the sound out of my head by hitting my head on the desk multiple times and clogging my ears for the rest of my life.
"I hear he is a young one with sexy looks and get this he's loaded." She gushes like a schoolgirl and then leaning forward on her desk, her cleavage nearly falling out.
Eww. I'm going to throw up.
I gag but I recover it with a forced smile. She didn't notice as she was busy talking about la la land and whatever psychotic plan she had with the CEO. I space out not hearing a word.
Until she said something I couldn't ignore, "And you are going to help me," She said, now taking a pen that sat on her desk scribbling words on her notecard that was in reach.
Win him over. Steps to be his future wife.
Step one....
What what?! Win him over, help her be his future wife. No way in hell I'm I doing that. That's it she's crazy!
"The rumors are true. People are saying he's looking for a future wife and I'm going to be just that and you are going to help me," She spoke still talking to herself. Is she that conceited? I'm not even listening and she failed to recognize it.
"Help you? Why?"
"Because darling you have no other choice, you will help me or you will be fired." She leans back in her chair, smirking like she was the evil queen.
"Don't you have a son? Miss Black, what's his name again? Xavier? Alan? Michael?" She questions, laughing like it was all of this was a grand joke to her.
I clench my fists in anger. How dare she first threaten my job and second blackmail me and then try to threaten Issac.
Oh, she's is a b*tch alright.
"Haha," Her fake ass laughs again, "It's poor little Issac isn't it?" I grit my teeth, containing my anger inside. I want to slap that smirk from her face and fight her but I can't do that.
She's still my boss and I need to fight this maturely. Go to the board of directors and explain how unprofessional she is being and end this harassment. Not only for myself but other employees. Who knows what she's done with them, blackmailing them to do things for her own benefit.
She is the one who needs to get fired and that is exactly what I will do. If you think you will threaten me and my son and get away with it you're wrong. Ms. Matthews you are going to regret this.
Putting on the most fakest smile in my life, I get up from my chair offering a hand of agreement. A handshake.
She smirks in victory, likely thinking that she's won this battle but that's the furthest from the truth.
She's the devil and she's sick. There's no way I'm going down without a fight.
She shakes my hand, a now real smile plastered on my face.
She has no idea. I always wondered why they say keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Kill them with kindness.
The thought alone made me happy. This b*tch is going down.
