"FUCK!"
Ben froze. He leaned so his right shoulder just met the solid wall. The exclamation had come through the open door two steps ahead of him.
The door that was his goal.
"Mother FUCKING son of a shit SUCKING bitch...," Ben blinked at not only the words but their intensity. The violence they carried. But it was the growled, wordless, primal sound that followed that touched him the most deeply. It suddenly seemed to verge on a sob as much as the obvious anger.
He licked his lips as he inhaled slowly through his open mouth and held it for a count of two before he released it slowly. The room fell into silence, or the volume had dropped close to that, so he quickly stepped forward. With his right shoulder even with the nearest edge of the door, he spun so he could look into the room.
"Charloβ-."
"GODDAM shitcunt whore-fucβ-," shoulder-length strawberry-blonde hair flew as an angry female face looked up from the open laptop on the table in front of her, "oh, ah, oh GOD! AAHH... SHIT."
Ben jumped back two steps. He fought his flight response as he sidled to his right.
"BEN! WAIT!" The voice had morphed. It wasn't a command. It was a request. A... begged request. He steadied his feet and stepped squarely in the doorway.
"Charlotte. Are you... okay?"
Her bluish-grey eyes that looked at him were wide, but they settled after an instant. The woman whose imperious rule they all admired and feared in unison looked... vulnerable. Was that the word? Shit. Psychology classes had honed a natural ability to read people and it seemed a useful enough trait for a career in sales and marketing. At least until the robots took over.
"Shi...," he said, "no. You're not okay."
She offered a harsh laugh but her expression softened. Her smile wasn't one of joy. But it wasn't one of her sarcastic smiles. He'd learned those in the first week, why he was in the position he was in at this moment.
"No, Ben, I am most definitely not okay," her voice was choppy, "but, surprisingly, it has nothing to do with the August marketing update."
Then her smile did convey amusement.
"That's why you're here. Because I tore Marianne and her team fresh assholes. And she's too lame to face me herself. Sent you, 'cuz your part was the only one I didn't shit all over."
"Uh, um... Iβ-."
"Stop, Ben," her tone shifted again, to apology, "she did. I'm happy she did. You're really the only one in this entire god-forsaken building I want to see right now."
She nodded at the armless chair on the other side of the table. As usual, the desk at her left arm was strewn with folders and papers and a monitor with the highest resolution available on the market that sat unused among the jetsam that surrounded it.
"Will you sit down? I promise I'm not mad at you. In fact, you're the best reason I have for staying sane right now."
He nodded and let his expression convey his confusion as he stepped into the office and sat down. He set his phone on the table. Charlotte manipulated her mouse for a moment as she gave her laptop screen what he could only describe as a glare. Then her mouth tightened in a grim smile.
"Take a look," she spun the laptop and nudged it backwards so they could both see the screen.
"Oh... shit! Is that your... house? You've been robbed?"
"It is my house... but I'm not sure 'robbed' is the right word," she said as she clicked and different rooms came into view.
He'd never been to her house and couldn't recall any coworkers ever claiming to have been either. It was the sort of ultra-modern design, high, open spaces with lots of glass, that he'd seen in magazines and on television, but only via drive-bys in real life. The design most likely placed her in either of the two areas around the city where such places were common but any available outdoor views were through windows and they showed only swaths of hedges and trees which didn't offer further clues to the location.
She'd regularly hosted events for the staff, but always at hotels or parks or restaurants or once overnight at a nearby mountain resort. Her desk had always been bereft of family or personal photos and beyond the more than a rumor but not quite a confirmed fact she had a husband, any allusions to her personal doings she simply ignored or redirected back on others.
"Uh, huh?"
"Here, scroll down," she grabbed her mobile phone from its position atop a pile of papers on the desk and tapped at the screen before she flipped it and set it down where he could read it. He let his confusion show as he looked at her but she did something between a shrug and a shiver and tapped the table next to the phone. He read.
"Whoa," he said, then grunted. Her only response was a grim laugh.
"Go ahead," she said, "I need to know I'm not overreacting."
