CHAPTER 5

The mood was tense the rest of the day. Dunner came and went from his office, talking with everyone about the current projects and deadlines. They smiled and nodded, but the minute he turned his back they stripped off the makeup and scowled at him. Nobody dissed the behavior because they were all in the same mood. Well, everybody but me. After my little romp with the boss I was riding cloud nine on a new Harley, revved up and ready to go. That's probably why, when a group of the downtrodden passed by, I didn't react well to their conversation. It also didn't help that it was Delilah and Stacy. I swear those two stayed slim by all the walks they took around the floor.

"You think they gave him a bonus to take the job and now they're having to cut somebody out to pay for it?" Delilah asked her friend.

Stacy shrugged. "Maybe, but they probably waited for him to do these layoffs because Finner was too much of a wimp to do it. This guy's probably a yes-man who would get rid of all of us if he was ordered to."

That was a double insult; one for my great old boss and another for my great new boss. I wasn't going to take that, so I swiveled around in my chair and cleared my throat. "Could you two keep moving? You're lowering the IQ in the area," I snapped at them.

They turned to me with scowls on their mascara faces. Delilah was the more ingenious of the two, though that wasn't saying much, and recovered first. She nudged her friend and nodded at me. "Look who's got a crush on the boss. She's probably hoping to get on his good side and save her job."

"I-I didn't say that!" I sputtered out.

Stacy slipped a grin onto her pretty face. No matter how much I hated them I could never lie and call them ugly, at least not on the outside. "That's not what Alicia's telling everybody. She said you were with the boss a long time this morning."

I actually breathed a sigh of relief. If Alicia would have heard anything incriminating she would have told these two stooges about it. "So what? That only proves we can have an intelligent conversation longer than it takes you two to make a thought."

"You're right," Delilah agreed with me. I didn't think for a moment that she was being nice, and she wasn't. "He's not into fat people, and I heard he's got a girlfriend already."

That surprised Stacy and shocked me. "He does?" she asked her friend. Delilah frowned at Stacy, whose eyes widened. "Oh, right, I guess he does. Some model downstairs or somewhere."

Their acting fell flatter than tuba over a ten-story building, but I was flattered they considered me competition and played along. My big eyes filled with tears (of laughter) and my lips quivered (because I was trying hard not to burst out). "Oh, well, I guess that means everyone should stop trying to get at him.
