'knock, knock,knock'
I guickly swalloed my gulp of chocolate and wiped the frosting off my lips as i gather myself to greet the person standing on the other side of the door.
'Come in its open'
'Hi Alicia, have you sent the fax as yet?'
'Ummm i was just about..'
'Get on it right away, and i also denied your request for a vacation on friday, we have a meeting to attend in Chicago'
Before i could open my mouth to rebut he closed shut my office door and left, if he had slammed it any harder my antique clock that held glued to the wall would have fallen off its fixing right onto the floor.
I was mad that he addressed me with such anger i never had that problem while being under his mom, guess having a little bit of will power gave him a whole lot of ego, making things even worst from the time i started working here I've never requested any vacation days ever and Friday is my mom's birthday, the 3rd birthday i'll have to miss in a row because something work related always came up.
And this was one time that vacation day would really come in handy so i wouldn't have to look forward to being away for the weekend with Mr Big Ego of a boss.
