My Sweet Boss And I

Know what you want; reach to where you can, Never let anyone hold you back. So, there we are; standing from across each other. He was in the elevator and I was outside. The emotions have filled the air and neither of us knew what to say. Maybe I handled things the wrong way. Or maybe I even regret the way I reacted to what had happened. May be we both do. I am very sure you are completely lost, why don’t I take you back to the beginning? ***I am Princi Jona. I went to school as any normal kid but always got bullied. But not to worry, all those times I have spent hiding from a bully made me realize that I had an interest in Archeology. Knowing what had happened in the past and digging out memories of other people helped me to bury my own problems. Because it turns out focusing on other people’s problems was much easier than dealing with my own. Although my childhood therapist told me it was not healthy. Even though Archeology was the dream, I ended up in business manageme

When the sun shined through my curtains, I got up and took a shower. I went down stairs and sat next to my mom.She was sitting while my dad was in the kitchen running here and there. I leaned towards my mom and asked “Why is dad in the kitchen?” “He said he is going to cook for you so that you are going to be energetic when you go out to find a job.” She explained.Now I am getting nervous because he is putting too much pressure from now. I had breakfast then went out for job hunting. There was no satisfying place for a business manager. I looked to all the magazines I could find to get a satisfying job but ‘Nada’ There was nothing. Even if I find something and I happen to get an interview, I end up blowing it. For some reason they don’t hire me.It’s been two weeks since I have left MWD and I am still unemployed. I went to my therapists’ office at the time of my appointment. I sat down in front of DR. Goodman and sign out of exhaustion. She said in her elegant voice “You look exhaus

Oliver whispered his answer “He is sitting there because he is the boss.” “What?” I whispered back in disbelieve. “Why, do you know him?” Oliver asked. “He was the guy I was stuck in the elevator with.” Oliver got shocked and stared at Shawn’s hands. His hands were still blood red. The man sitting next to Shawn asked “What happened to your hand sir?” Shawn looked straight at me, smiled a bit and answered to the man next to him “It’s nothing.” Oliver looked at me and said “What have you done?” Before we could say anything else to each other Shawn started the meeting. Everybody was paying attention except me. I was still in shock with what had happened. I still can’t believe that I smacked my boss so hard the elevator made an echo. I felt so ashamed. The meeting ended and I snuck out of there as fast as I could. Once we reached our office Oliver cracked up. His laugh made me even angrier. “What’s so funny?” I asked madly. “How are you not laughing? You know I thought this thing o

I got off work early to visit MC. I took a taxi to her place. Her life is going as bad as mine. Her father keeps coming home and picking a fight with her mother and on top of that she still hasn’t made up with her brother. Like I usually do I started complaining about my ignorant boss. MCs’ mom walked in around seven when I was about to walk out. I remembered that tomorrow is Ice cream night so I reminded them. “Mrs. C, don’t forget tomorrow is Ice cream night.” Both MC and I smiled at her mom but at a tired her mom said “Oh, I don’t think I can make it this month. Sorry girls.” She went up stairs. That was weird. She has never missed an Ice cream night so we went up stairs to see if she was fine. She had closed her bed room door. We got closed and we heard her on the phone. What she was saying wasn’t really clear but the one word we heard coming out of her was “My love.” Both of us looked at each other with our jaws dropped. We quickly ran to MCs’ room and shut that door. We sat for

The day went by and we finished yesterdays report so Oliver asked me to take it to Shawn's office. But I refused and asked him to take it. Five minutes later he got back. I got confused because when I used to take the report to Shawn it would at least take me thirty minutes to explain the report to him. "How come you're back so soon?" I asked him. "Well, I gave him the report and came back." I was still confused "Didn't you explained it to him?" "Why would I do that? Our job is to make the reports and give it to him; it is his job to read them." "Then why have I been explaining it to him for thirty minutes?" Oliver smiled "Well I don't know much but he looked pretty disappointed when he saw that it was me who gave him the reports. It was as if he was waiting for you." "Yeah, well he can wait as long as he wants. I intend to focus on my job from now." The next few days I made sure to ignore him completely. So he decided to come to my office. I opened my laptop and acted like I w
