Sometimes life is like a box of chocolates, and sometimes life is like a box
of chocolates left out in the sun all day.
Today, it turns out, is a melty, disappointing chocolate sort of day. Not
only did I step in gum while wearing my favorite shoes on my way into
work, but I also fired up my email to find some wonderfully disturbing
information.
“Knock knock,” I say to my boss, Nicole Hart, as I step hesitantly into
her office to address said email.
Truthfully, I’m always a little hesitant to step into her office because,
whew, this woman is a force to be reckoned with. There’s a reason she’s
CEO of the agency. She’s kind to me (in her own way), but she’s like a
tornado of confidence. You need a helmet and a safe place to take shelter
when she focuses her attention on you.
Like now, she’s sitting at her desk in her immaculate gray pin-striped
skirt and silk blouse—red lipstick painted perfectly on her full lips, blond
hair pulled back into a sleek, perky ponytail that has a magical flip on the
end. But all those surface-level attributes are nothing but a misdirection. It’s
in her eyes you see the truth. The alert, bone-chilling, feline ferocity. Her
keen mind is why she’s the top agent in our industry and lands enormous
deals for clients like Nathan Donelson, famous quarterback for our city’s
NFL team, the L.A. Sharks. The woman is all sharp edges and absolute
dedication. She’s an inspiration.
“Please tell me you’re asking to come in and it’s not the beginning of a
joke.”
“I could tell you that, but then I’d be lying.”
She cuts her eyes to me, and I smile. She’s worked with me long enough
to know I’m not going anywhere until this is over.
“Who’s there?” she asks like she’s in the middle of a root canal.
“Needle.”
“Needle who?”
“Needle little smile to brighten your day?” I give her one as I shuffle
into her office.
She looks up from her keyboard—posture ramrod straight—and her eyes
bounce from my reddish-brown hair, down to my yellow sneakers, and back
up to my face. Nicole misses nothing. She’s an assassin who’s just
identified her target’s weak spot. God, I want to be her.
She discards my fabulous joke. “How many pairs of those shoes do you
own?” She’s referring to my bright yellow sneakers.
“Four. I was wearing my red pair this morning, but I stepped in gum and
had to change into these.” I raise my foot and wiggle it proudly. “Smelled
delicious but left a nasty squelching trail.”
“I’m guessing Marty had something to say when he saw those. Do I
need to humble him?” Her attention is on her keyboard, somehow still able
to talk as her fingers fly across the keys. The thing about Nicole is she’s all
bark and…
