The Asshole

Douglas Whitworth sat lazily in his luxurious chair, watching the camera feeds he had stationed across his mall with hungry eyes. Mr. Whitworth had taken ownership of the Cedar Park Mall upon his father’s death ten years prior, grateful for the chance and the inheritance waiting for him upon his dad’s demise. Instantly, Mr. Whitworth, as he liked to always be called, implemented changes to maximize profits, filter clientele, and forge the mall into his vision of a money-making engine.

Leaning back in his chair, Douglas observed intently as he patted his profoundly spoiled belly. Strangers would deem him overweight, people that knew him deemed him a fat fuck of a man, but both categories were beneath Mr. Whitworth as far as he was concerned. His balding head was strategically covered with what hair that remained and fixed in place with oodles of hairspray. It was a hairdo that fooled no one, but bolstered his ego nonetheless. His sausage-like fingers rapped upon his wrinkled yet obscenely expensive suit as he decided his next step.

Mr. Whitworth was ready for phase two of his grand scheme, yet his mall was still littered with holdouts. He wanted nothing less than the upper crust, not the mallrats or riffraff that still trickled into what he called “his house.” Mr. Whitworth would keep raising rent and standards until only the elite remained. Then his vision would be all but complete and the money would flow like salmon during spawning season.

It was great to be rich and important.

Taking a moment to peel his eyes from his slew of monitors, Douglas looked upon his lavish and grotesquely spacious office. Every necessity required was catered in glorious fashion, including the opulent snack trolley, fully stocked bar, and a side room with a bed. The bed was there for frequent naps as well as “intense negotiations” he had with desperate or paid for women. (Truth be told, they were often both) Pictures with celebrities and politicians littered his walls as well as mock awards, articles and tributes to himself. This was Douglas’s throne room and here he felt like the god he knew that he was.

Satisfied with the grand vision that was his office, Douglas returned his focus to his monitors. Here he observed who entered his mall, what needed dealt with, and women that might be in need of his “services.” Douglas made mental notes for later, including addressing employees that needed release. A score of the custodians were on top of the list.

Douglas stood then to fetch a drink, giving his chair relief from his nearly 300-pound girth. He then thought better of the endeavor and sat back down, calling in his secretary to fetch it for him. Douglas watched the shapely blonde twenty-something pour him his scotch on the rocks intently, admiring his newest employee’s curves. Soon they would sit to discuss her future at the mall and just how bad she wanted that raise.

Accepting his beverage, Douglas watched his secretary leave, hiding nothing in his lustful gazes.
