First Day
The door to the office flung open, bouncing off the wall behind it. A woman stepped through, an irritated look on her super model face. “You Anne James?” she growled.
Blast it. She’d be working for this intimidating woman? Anne jumped to her feet. “Y…y…yes.”
“Follow me.” She gestured with a well manicured hand. She didn’t wait for Anne, already moving along the hallway.
Anne hustled to keep up, the taller woman’s strides longer than hers. It didn’t help that the woman was in pants and she was in a restrictive skirt.
“I’m Stevie Carr.” This Stevie Carr scowled at the people hurrying to get out of her way.
“Stevie, I see you got a new play friend.” A handsome man in a navy suit hung over a cubicle wall.
That made her pause, Anne almost bumping into her back. “Bite me, Eric.”
Her comment only made the man grin. “I’d love to, Stevie. You tell me when and where and I’m there.”
Was that a blush on the back of the woman’s neck? “It’ll be a cold day in hell.”
“For you, Stevie, I’ll wait.” He laughed, a deep rumble. “You girls going to powder your noses?”
That got a snort. “Why don’t you powder my a$$, Eric.” And they were moving again. “No fu**ing profanities in the office, James.” Anne was told.
