Chapter Fifteen

LUNA

By day three at my new job, I was starting to wonder if I was the type of person who could get away with murdering my new boss and disposing of his body. I’d watched enough true crime that I thought I had a pretty good handle on what not to do, but I wasn’t sure yet if I had the disposition for homicide. However, the more he pushed, the more likely I was to get there, that was for damn sure. The man had gone out of his way to make my life a complete misery between the hours of eight and five.

Keeping my composure while secretly wanting to jab a pencil into the man’s eye was getting harder and harder. He fought me every step of the way on everything I did, from converting his joke of a filing system to digital in an effort to free up space and boost him into the twenty-first century, to the type of Post-It notes I’d stocked—he hated the pop-up style ones and thought the bright colors were childish and ridiculous.

I worked tirelessly to prove I could do a good job, reminding myself over and over that my first paycheck was still a week and a half away, but sometimes even that didn’t feel like enough to keep me from losing my cool.

If he wasn’t riding me about the million and one things he thought I was doing wrong, he was complaining. Complaining about the kind of work he was getting now that we were officially open for business and taking on clients, complaining about the lack of delivery options in such a small town, complaining about the fact that most everyone who walked into the office already knew the gist of our first meeting. It was one thing after another until I was convinced the man just didn’t know how to be happy.

Ignoring his tantrums seemed to be the only thing that worked, so on day four, I rerouted all the calls that would come in at my desk to the phone in the conference room up in the loft area on the second floor, and buried myself in work, digging through the boxes of files—Nate’s current and inefficient system—and scanning each and every page into the digital folder I’d created.

I’d been so lost in my work that I’d lost track of time as the hours rushed by. With the very last document scanned and digitally put in place, I closed the lid of the very last file box with smile, a firm sense of accomplishment making my chest feel light and loose. Pumped on adrenaline from finishing the most boring, menial task in the world, I hefted the closest box up and started down the stairs with it. One down, only fifteen more to go, I thought as I hit the landing.

“Jesus Christ, what are you doing? You’re going to fall and break your neck.”

“Ha! I wouldn’t give you the satisfaction,” I replied right before Nate rushed over and yanked the box out of my hands.
