My boss wants me

Prologue“ I can’t believe the old bastard did this to me ”I keep thinking as fresh, raw grief makes its way under my skin while I’m watching the coffin holding the person I most detest sink into the ground.“ Even from the grave, beyond death, the old maggot still finds a way to sink his claws into my life. Trying to tear my happiness away.” I say to Carter as we both watch.“ I guess the devil has finally met his match if this man still has a way to torment you from the depths of hell” he replies while tilting his imaginary hat in fake reverence. I wish I could just punch him across the face, to break that perfectly structured nose. I know that everyone, especially the women would go into fits on that one and I’m ready to take on whatever comes after but what good would it do my reputation to punch my best friend at my father’s funeral.I guess I could just blame it on my supposed grief. That would be very satisfying seeing as the smug idiot chooses to find the humor in my plight.

VanessaOh okay…No, shit! How could I have forgotten that. What do I do now? I can’t be in the presence of him and his family. Oh Lord! How did it get this bad?“ Can you just help me take this to him? I’ve been feeling this lingering pain in my chest all day and seeing him in grief might just cause my heart to give up. Please…” I give Leon my best puppy eyes but the straight look on his face tells me that I am not going to be successful in this one. “ You’re going to have to face the devil on your own this time.”“ You’ve been here in this house for about eight years and still haven’t gotten used to his presence.” Barry adds with a hint of laughter in his voice.“ Well, I don’t think anyone gets used to having the devil around” says my soul sister Tianna. I look at her, feigning sadness in my eyes and bat my eyelashes,“ how about you take it to him for me instead?” “ I’m with Leon on this one, you should face your fears by yourself. Plus I heard he’s in the study with his friends

Vanessa“I am very sorry for the trouble I caused downstairs sir.” I decided to take matters into my own hands as I could no longer handle the awkward silence with him typing away on his phone.“The truth is, I’ve been feeling dizzy all day and I guess it’s really because I’ve been a tad bit stressed out. Not that I’m being overworked because you people are great employers, but it’s just that…”“Can you just shut up if you have nothing smart to say.” He commands in a low and precise tone to stop my rambling.I blame myself for this one so I have no reason to be pissed.It’s like he gets off on issuing commands and embarrassing people at the same time.“ I would like to make you a proposition.”Wow he’s not firing me yet.“ I want you to marry me..”What! I look around in search of the cameras or his friends at least so that I know that he’s trying to play a prank on me but the serious look on his face says otherwise.“ What?”“ You do not strike me as a deaf person so I wonder why you

DimitriAnger, fury. That is all I can feel right now. No one needs to be told to stay away. I'm sure anyone in their right sense would know to stay away from me at the moment so I do not understand what Carter is doing pulling me off the punching bag that I'm enjoying hitting right now. He knows that there's no better way to get rid of my frustrations.“ What the fuck are you doing man? What the hell is wrong with you?Two questions in the same sentence and a serious looking face. Something must be going on with him. “ Why the hell would you question me?" I say as I take another swing at the object.“ Why do you keep hitting? He's been dead for at least ten minutes but you still continue to hit him. You already broke his skull. Tell me man, what is going on?"“ He stole from me. He fucking stole from me." I say as my voice drops.“ We both know there's more to it. It's not the first time anyone has tried stealing from you. It's not the first time you've killed any of the theives but

VanessaThe walk back downstairs happens too quickly for my liking. It usually takes forever to go around the house so why does the house feel too small? I'm trying to come up with the best words to say and there's nothing. I know they would ask why I didn't tell them all this while and I would have to come up with something since this moron just decided to throw the original plan away. Why did he ask for me to keep it a secret for a month if his mouth was going to get loose after two weeks? This rivalry with Stephan is just stupid. We get closer to the kitchen and I still have nothing.“I'm going to leave you here. My friends are in my study. I'm going to go see them."He doesn't wait for me to answer before he's striding away. I just want to run after him and give him a heavy tap on the forehead. Shit! Now I have to face them all on my own. My head is spinning. I hate confrontations but I have to face this one. Or I could just walk quietly to my room and face them another day. I'm a
