She smiled, "stop. I'm alright with my pay." She sighed, "I'll get to work, I was just telling you that I got here."

"Wait before you go. I have a job for you" he told her softly as he leaned back in his chair. "You are going to let me take you to dinner later, alright?" he requested
"Sir," she sighed, "I don't want you to feel obligated to take me out because of last night." She leaned against the door frame, "I'm happy to help."
"I don't, but you know I'm a nice guy like that." he told her with a smile. "I want to" he told her as he gave her a couple documents to look over. "Read through these and get them back to me when you can" he told her
"Alright," she nodded and walked over to take the papers. "Sir," she asked, "If I may ask, where are we going?"
"Just the new Italian restaurant in town. Make sure you dress nice." he told her with a smile. "Come back later and I might have another job for you" he told her with a wink before sitting back down at his desk
She smiled with a small nod, "sir, I'm sorry if this comes out as rude, but I don't think you should be taking me out. Your girlfriend wouldn't approve of that."
"You mean ex?" he asked her as he signed a couple more papers. "I told you we broke up last night" he said as he looked back up at her
She nodded, "alright. I'll go do my work." She said, backing out of the office.
About three hours later he called her desk and asked her to come into his office.
((Would she do anything he told her to?))
((Would she do anything he told her to?))
((Yeh,))"Alright," She got up from her desk and took the papers she had gone over. "You called, Sir?" She knocked.
"Yes come in" he told her as he pulled a seat out for her. He the sat back in his chair. He pressed a button and he ordered no one else to show up for a little bit. "I have a special job for you, if you're interested?" he told her s he got up behind her nad gently rubbed her shoulders
"Uh. Okay," she shrugged but she was a bit nervous not knowing why he was acting like this.
"As you can tell how stressful this job can be. I haven't even slept right for the past 4 months. I'm getting more aggressive with my employees and I don't want to be like that. He then moved in front of her looking down at her, "You think you can help me out a little?" he asked as he gently lifted her chin up. By the angle he was in, he knew that she knew what he was asking for
Her eyes widened for a second but she realized she wanted it, with him. She didn't say anything for a second before she leaned up slowly and crashed her lips against his.
((You wanna take this to pm, or skip?))
She came into work the next day, tired and upset with Derrick for not showing up to pick her up to go to their supposed dinner. She'd gotten ready and waited but then she gave up and went to bed. She cried herself to sleep, figuring she totally misread him and he didn't like what happened the day before. She faked a smile to her co-workers as she went up to her office.
Derrick sent her an E-mail. "Hey, how come you never answered my emails or texts? I told you something came up, and I couldn't go" Which was the truth, he sent her like 5 emails and 3 texts, but she never replied
She looked up from her desk, surprised he was there so early, "i uh didn't see them." She said, her brow furrowing. She moved to get her bag and looked for her phone. She found it and sat up. She realised there were three texts and five emails. Her face softened as she looked back up at him, "sorry. I didn't see them until now."
"It's fine. Sorry I couldn't go. I am taking you Tomorrow night if you like?" he replied and then began walking the halls making sure everyone was doing their job right
"Yes, of course," she said and smiled a little when he left. She blushed a tiny bit and smoothed her hair behind her ear before going back to work.
He stopped at someones desk and looked at their progress. His eyes narrowed as he seen them playing games on the computer.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he asked sternly
((Can you play as the employee for a sec?))
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he asked sternly
((Can you play as the employee for a sec?))
((Sure))The employee, Zack, quickly shut down the game and stood up, "sir." Like he was in the army.
"I'm trying to run a fucking business here, and all you wanna do is play games" he told him sternly. "Get in my office.. Now" He demanded as he walked back into his office
Zack's eyes widened as he followed him into his office, "please, sir. I need the money," Angelique looked up and saw Zack begging.
"This is the third time I've seen you playing games on your computer.. I gave you two chances. I'm sorry, but I have to let you go. You'll get three more weeks of pay. That should be enoguh time to get you another job" he told him and then let him leave
Zack's eyes widened, "please, sir. That wasn't me! This was the first time! I swear!" Angelique appeared in the door way and slowly knocked the door, "Mr. Stapleton?" She asked slowly.
"So you're calling me a liar now?" He asked him as he shot up from his chair. "After I've seen you with my own eyes???" he asked him, his voice raising slightly. He didn't even hear her knocking
Angelique winced at his raised voice, she hated it when he was like this.Zack panicked, "no! Sir, That was Zakk Evans that you caught playing! This was the first time!"
"Mr. Stapleton?" Angelique tried again.
He sighed heavily and slumped back in his chair.. pinching the bridge of his nose, "Zack, just pack you things and leave. I'll contact you if I need you again" he told him
Zack slumped in defeat and nodded, "I'm sorry, sir." He turned around to leave."Zack?" Angelique squeaked. "I'm sorry.." She said and hugged him. "You can stay over when your rent gets.." she trailed off.
"Now come in" He hollered out as he leaned back in his chair and rubbed his eyes.
"I-i just wanted to check if Zack was okay," she said in her low soft voice. "I'm sorry for disturbing," she said quietly, scared he'd fire her too.
"Wait, I have some papers for you" he told her as he reached into his bottom drawer and pulled out a small stack of papers. "Can you look over these and revise them for me?" he asked, all traces of anger gone
She nodded and walked into his office to take the papers. "Sir," she checked her watch, "you're break is in 10 minutes, do you want me to get you lunch?" She asked him as she reached his table.
"No thanks. I'm not too hungry, but thanks anyways" he told her with a smile and handed her the papers. "If you can, I need them back by the end of the day" he requested
She nodded, "anything." She said, taking the papers and looking at them, "Mr. Stapleton?" She asked softly, "would you mind if I leave about an hour early? I have to go check on Zack.." She said, a little apprehensive.
"Why would you have to check on him for?" he asked her as he stood up. "This is because I fired him, wasn't it? And don't lie to me" he told her
She nodded and looked down at her shoes, "I have to see if he's okay. He's had a bad life."
"And you think I haven't? I watched my mother get shot by my own father because he was a lousy drunk. Only then to see him take his own life.. I moved to a foster home where I was constantly beaten for the slightest things.. I still hurt from that.." he told her as he sat back down in his chair. "I run a business here. And a business is only as strong as it's weakest link. Ad I cannot tolerate any weak links" he told her
"I'm sorry, sir," her eyes widened and tears welled in her eyes as she heard what he's been through, and she thought her life was bad, "I-I didn't know. I-he's-he's a close friend," she said, "i'm sorry. I should go back to work." She turned around and hurried out of her office.
He then moved to his computer and began typing a long memo to another company. He also sent a letter of recommendation about Zack, urging them to give him a job.
She went to her office and put the papers there before going to the toilet and crying softly at the flash backs she had. She hunched over as she clutched her tummy because she was really hungry and tired. She fell to the floor as her knees gave out.
It was now Derrick's break and he got out of his office and went to the break room, where he stretched out on the small couch there
She lifted her head to the ceiling and willed herself to stop crying. She breathed through her nose to calm down as she closed her eyes. She opened her eyes and washed her face. She wiped the smudged make up and everything before leaving the toilet. She stared at her shoes as she walked to her office, because she knew it was still a bit evident that she's been crying. She hoped she wouldn't run into Derrick.
"Wait a second" he told her through the open door of the break room. He still continued relaxing on the couch
She closed her eyes and hoped she looked normal. Or as normal as she could without make up. She knew she looked bad without any. She turned to him and went over, "yes, sir?"
"I'll have you know that I already got Zack another job. They said they already talked to him. He even sent me an E-mail thanking me. But if you really want to, you can go check on him" he told her
Her whole face lit up, "really?" She asked, "thank you, sir! You have no idea how much I appreciate that." She wished she could hug him but she didn't want to start crying again.
