I Used To Be The Boss Novels & Stories

I was about to take a step when someone shouted, "Marie J! What have you turned my restaurant into?!" Oh, Lord! It's my boss! My job!!!

He was my boss, and I was being disrespectful. — The biggest idiot, I should have never let you go, he replied. — I called you many times, hoping for your redemption, and you didn't answer. Then you came just to tell me that it was better for me to be far away. You mentioned the press, your family, and other nonsense. You're a contradictory person, you're just confused, and you confuse me too. Now I'm completely far from everything I love because of you. So, your message doesn't serve me or solve anything for me, I responded to the message.

She put her popcorn aside, her attention fully on me. “Do you remember when I worked at Jaskey’s and I found out my boss cheated me?” Her eyes darkened as she remembered the event. “Yeah. I remember. I did say that if I found him, I’d beat him to pulp.” “Well, technically speaking, you have. Jace…” I shook my head. “Jason is my boss’s boss.” “What?” She cleaned her ears like she hadn’t heard right. “Are you f*cking serious right now?” I nodded my head in all seriousness.

“And honestly, if I’m dying here, I’d like a little mood music too. Got any classical?” I buried my face in my shoulder, trying not to laugh as the boss’s expression shifted from confusion to frustration. The boss’s smirk grew as he twisted the pliers menacingly. “Did you know,” he said, “I used to think your country was a land of dreams. Turns out, it was a nightmare.” He crouched in front of Nora, lifting her hand. “You see, my boss there? He made every day hell. And my girlfriend?” He laughed bitterly. “She thought it’d be funny to cheat on me with my best friend.”

“I wish it were the latter, but you’ll need to poison him.” “Really? Your boss is an asshole? I was hoping you’d get a good boss this time around.” “Me too,” I say, feeling sad that Mr. Crawford hates me and will most likely make my job difficult. I’ve had horrible bosses all my life. I always worked part-time jobs in college, and the bosses never made life easy. I was looking forward to a nice boss this time around, but maybe I’m unlucky. Maybe I was a horrible boss in my past life, and karma’s catching up to me now.

How dare he think that I would still be in love with him after breaking me. His face was clouded with anger. I don't give a fuck. I gasped as he harshly grabbed my arm. “You should learn how to talk respectfully, because I'm your boss." He gritted. What! My boss? Is he the new CEO? What about Linus, when did Logan become the CEO? “If you want to keep your job, you better watch your mouth, because I can't promise to be merciful." He added, and yanked my arm away.

Danny replied with his voice quieter and almost hesitant. “As my what? What did you just say?” I cut in with a voice laced with bitterness, and I concluded with sarcastic laughter. “As my boss? The one who was always there just to tell me what to do, to make me feel guilty for things that weren’t even my fault? Is that the meaning of boss?” My hands clenched beside me. “I don't need you as a wall to just stand beside me and you can stop sponsoring me if you like.”

“Do you realize you never called me sir, even though I am your boss?” “Technically, you are not my boss. You are just the CEO of the company I work for now. And I did call you sir, the day I found out you were the CEO,” I recall how I wanted the ground to swallow him whole when I found out he was my CEO, and he loved it more than anything. “Oh, that’s true, and I can remember how much I loved it. You sounded so beautiful calling me ‘SIR’, and I am your boss’s, boss’s, boss’s, boss, so I am still your boss.”

He says the last part in a mimicking voice. "Of course you do. I gave you a tough time down there." "Not as much as my boss will be giving you from now hence forth." "Your boss." I puff out my lips. "So you also have a boss?" "I do." "Oh, wow. At least you have a boss. At least you're employed and make money just like me." I open my mouth and widen my eyes now remembering Collins. "My ex didn't have a boss and he blamed me for it."

It was nice to talk about something than business. I told Stephen that I had been trying to prove myself for a time I had forgotten how to be humble. I had forgotten who I really was what I really wanted. "I was so busy being the boss " I said, "I forgot how to be Hannah." I forgot what it meant to be me to be a person, not a business owner.
