Minutes had turned into hours since Mr. Hendricks asked Amy to wait outside his office. By now, Amy was sure that she was going to lose her job. The events of the week buzzed through her head in a loop. On Monday, Mr. Hendricks' morning black coffee was late, on Wednesday, she had mis-filed the contracts in another client's file and she had double-booked him on Thursday.
'Don't be so hard on yourself', she thought to herself. After all, Mr. Hendricks could be very intimidating. With his tight-fitting suits, expensive shoes and watches, the rich musky scent of his cologne, and his neatly groomed hair. 'You're drifting, Amy, that man is about to fire you', she caught her train of thoughts. Beneath the charming exterior of Drew and Murphy's next name partner, he was also a very hard-to-please boss. There were days when Amy would not hear more than ten words from him. She was surprised he was even taking the time out to fire her himself.
Resigning to her fate, Amy unclasped her hair. Her long tresses fell down her shoulders and ran along her chest all the way to her waist. As she sat with her supple toned legs crossed, tiny beads of sweat ran between her thighs, her body on fire from all the anxiety. She opened the top few buttons of her white linen shirt that was finding it hard to conceal her ample bosom. 'Who cares if it's inappropriate, I'm getting fired anyway, could at least be comfortable'. She adjusted her belt making her tight skirt ride up a few inches, to give her thighs some more room. 'I can finally breathe', she thought, as she waited for the executioner to deliver the final blow.
It was forty minutes past midnight and the entire office floor had cleared out. Mr. Hendricks walked out and noticed Amy. "Come in", he said. 'Not so much as an apology for making me wait six hours', she thought, 'but it's Mr. Hendricks, he does what he fucking pleases'.
"Amy, your probation period has ended. We do not find you the right fit for this job and will be terminating your employment effective immediately. Please carry your things out."
