The office has abruptly gone silent with the first two booming
footsteps after the elevator dings, signaling Mr. Hall’s arrival.
It’s as if even our clients know not to call lest they interrupt
the silence because not a single phone rings as we collectively
hold our breaths. I swear, even the weather holds its breath as
the sun retreats behind gray clouds on what had otherwise
been a bright and sunny morning.
It’s now or never, I think to myself as Mr. Hall, the owner of
the small accounting firm where I work, stomps past the
block of ugly gray cubicles toward his darkened office behind
my desk. I’m the only one not concealed by three cubicle
walls, so I have nothing to duck behind like my coworkers do
whenever he roams the floor, the lucky bastards.
Jessica, the only HR employee we have, is out on her
honeymoon for the next two weeks, the lucky bitch, so I need
Mr. Hall to sign off on my maternity leave. All he has to do is
sign a few papers, which will only take a few seconds. Yet
every previous attempt I’ve made to get him to do so has been
met with a cutting eye and a sharp,
“Not now.”
I’m the lone, brave (not really) soul who sits up straight
and plasters on a strained smile to greet him as he approaches
my desk like an angry bull. If his thin-lipped and narroweyed expression didn’t give away his shitty mood, his clothes
certainly do.
His gray blazer is balled in a tight fist, his brown patterned
tie is wrinkled and pulled loose around his throat as if he tried
to rip it off in frustration, and his white button-down sleeves
are shoved up his thick, veiny forearms instead of artfully
rolled up as some men do by the end of a long workday. Then
there’s the fact that his usually perfectly styled, thick, black
hair is a tangled mess like he’s been repeatedly ripping at the
strands.
So even though he looks ready to murder someone, I pull
in a deep breath and open my mouth to greet him in a cheery,
professional manner. I don’t get much further than a barely
audible,
“Good morning, Mr. Hall.” I cringe and clear my
throat, knowing I need to speak with more confidence if I
want to get his attention. “Mr. Hall, I just need a moment of
your time,
” I say as he looks straight over my copper-red
head as if I’m not here. “Please, Mr. Hall, just a minute for
you to sign—”
“Not now, Sunny,
” he barks without looking at me as he
barrels past my desk, swerving around my outstretched hand
with the documents I try to hand him.
“Mr. Hall!” I shout with rising panic, knowing that once
he closes himself off in his office, there’s no telling when
he’ll come out again. I have an appointment with my
gynecologist after lunch that I can’t miss, so I can’t wait
around hoping to catch him before he leaves for the day,
whenever that is, since he usually leaves well after everyone
else has clocked out.
