Iabsolutely hate my boss.
No. That’s not right. It doesn’t feel strong enough. I utterly loathe
him.
If he was on fire, I’d throw a stack of files into the flames, the same way
he drops them onto my desk every morning. If he was drowning, I’d tell him
that he should have managed his time better and learned how to swim before
he jumped in the water. If he found himself stranded on an island, and I knew
the location, I would turn off my phone and hope the sun roasts his stupidly
perfect tan into charred bits. Bits I’d remember later when cutting into my
nicely seared steak.
Yes. That’s about right. I think that sums up how I feel about the man.
The man.
I roll my eyes as the phrase flits through my mind. He is the literal
definition of the man.
The one who makes an obscene amount of money and has no qualms
flaunting it with his designer everything. The one who has his nose held in
the air when he walks past the sea of desks toward the elevator—an elevator
he refuses to share with anyone else while he’s in it. Let’s not forget he’s
considered a savior to the board when he comes through with creative ideas
to keep our company at the top of all the others.
Every man here wants to be him, and happily settles for being his
doormat, while every woman wants to slide into his pants.
And yeah, I can admit it—he’s hot. Because why wouldn’t the CEO of a
fortune 500, the asshole of the century, and bane of my existence, be New
York’s hottest bachelor?
I mean, it’s just like every romance book you pick up and swoon over.
Only, here’s the thing. He’s not some redeemable asshole and I am not some
shy, timid wallflower—at least not when it comes to him.
Nope. It’s the exact opposite. He is a dominating whirlwind of force that
crushes anything in his way, never looking back at the havoc he’s wreaked.
While I’m the uncertain waves in the ocean, going from soft kisses upon the
shore to torrential waters as soon as his breeze hits me.
Where he’s hard edges and high cheekbones, I’m delicate and soft curves.
While he commands the room with his presence, I’m happy to sit at the back
and dip out early so I can watch TV on my couch.
But then there’s the fact that while I’m not the best socialite, I can also be
a firecracker with a bad mouth, and an even badder bite. (I know that’s not a
word; don’t correct me when I’m venting.)
