17: Father/Daughter

Anger, confusion, guilt, and overriding all of that was a longing desire for Nicole. I could still feel her taste on my lips. I wanted more.

It was crazy. I'd only been on a couple of dates with her, and even that was being generous by including that first night we spent out at the bar, and yet this sure as hell felt like a breakup for a relationship that had lasted a lot longer than that. I suppose the bond we'd shared was just that intense. Just that powerful.

And now it was gone. Gone mostly because of me, though there was that angry part of me that thought Nicole wasn't being entirely fair. Then again, considering everything I'd done to her I suppose she had the right to not be entirely fair getting pissed off at me.

As I stared out across the cubicle farm I found myself getting even more angry than before. I was angry at the company. Angry at the situation I'd been put in, though more than anything I was angry at one man in particular. And so as soon as the elevator doors closed I made my way over to the elevator myself. I was royally pissed off, and there was one person in particular I needed to talk to about it.

Well, to be fair I probably should try to talk to Nicole as well, but she wasn't going to be easy to track down. She’d be long gone from the lobby by the time I got down there. I knew exactly where dear old dad was, though. The architect of all of this misery. He was up on the top floor. Nice and easy to find.

I focused on my anger as I traveled up to the top floor. I let the hate and anger flow through me. By the time I reached the top floor I had a good head of steam going. I was ready to do battle.

"Excuse me Miss Zeidner, can I help you?" His secretary asked as I breezed past her. I stopped to give her a quick smile. She really was a pretty thing. I could understand why dear old dad wanted to keep her around, even if I was frustrated by the double standard she so clearly represented. A double standard that had a direct impact on my own life.

"He’s in the board room?" I asked, nodding in that direction.

"Yes. They're having a meeting with the board right now and…"

"That's all I need to know, thanks," I said. And I pushed past her.

"Miss Zeidner! You can't go in there! Erica!"

I ignored her as I moved into the board room. Both doors open and slammed shut behind me. I was a spoiled little rich girl, was I? Well. Spoiled little rich girls ignored the help, and that's all his secretary was. Even if she did provide some extra services above and beyond what secretaries usually provided to their employers. Outside of dramas about business in the 1960s, that is.

The men in the board jumped and turned to face me.
