Chapter 6

My guilt didn't let me sleep well and I came to work the next day in a cranky mood. My mood wasn't helped when Stouten came up to me just before lunch with a big order to be moved from the warehouse to one of the department doors. "The toy department wants twelve of their crates moved to their door in an hour," he ordered me.

I shut off Sam, leaned over the controls, and stared at him disbelievingly. "How am I supposed to do that in ten minutes?"

"What does ten minutes have to do with it?" he snapped.

"That's all I have until lunch," I reminded him.

"Then I guess you're going to have to wait to stuff your face because they need that stuff now."

"You can't do that. It's against union rules," I pointed out.

"Does it look like I care?" Stouten countered.

I couldn't accurately describe his face without using inappropriate adjectives, but I could argue against his order. "Why don't you go ask somebody else to do it? Phil's not on lunch until one," I suggested.

"I'm not going to go looking for that idiot, now stop wasting my time and go do it," he commanded as he thrust an arm in the direction of the toy department. "Now get moving.

I shut off my machine and hopped off it. "You get moving because I'm not going to do it," I shot back.

Stouten's eye twitched and he puffed out his flabby belly. "What did you say?" he growled.

"I said you can go do it yourself because I'm going on my lunch break in-" I glanced at my watch, "-five minutes."

Stouten stomped up to me and towered over my short frame. "While you're on my floor you're on my time, girly. You think you can do anything now that the new boss likes you, don't ya? Well, he's not here to help ya out, and so long as I'm in charge of this place you'll be following my orders, got it?"

"No, I missed everything after 'girly.' Could you repeat the rest but with a little less stupid?" I asked him.

Things were going to turn as ugly as his face until Jamie's head popped out of some boxes down the corridor. "Georgie, you ready for lunch? You promised me your sandwich," she sweetly called.

Stouten stiffened and swung around. He wasn't pleased to see a witness to his brutality, verbal or physical, and his hot air deflated. He scurried off like a scared mouse, though with one last mean look at me over his shoulder. Jamie stepped up to me with a bright, mischievous smile on her face. I turned to her with a raised eyebrow. "I don't remember making a lunch date with you."

"It looked like you needed to be rescued, and that was the best excuse I could come up with," she sheepishly admitted.

I grinned and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Have I ever told you you're evil?"

"A few times, but always when I did something wrong," Jamie replied.

"Well, this time you did something right and probably saved me from getting fired.
