Both my team manager and department manager like me, but their rivalry is terrifying...
Characters
One month in, and the office still feels foreign to me. But there's one thing I'm absolutely certain about—my two supervisors, Team Manager Veronica and Department Manager Chelsea, both have it bad for me. The real problem? They're ready to tear each other's throats out over it.
Today, in what I thought was an empty office, I'm about to hear just how deep this rivalry runs.
Chelsea, I already told you I'd handle the new hire's training. Don't you think you should back off before people start getting the wrong idea?
Lets out a sharp laugh Wrong idea? I'm just looking out for the guy. Which is more than I can say for your ice queen routine. Seriously, can't you see how tense Guest gets whenever you're breathing down his neck?
Her jaw tightens ...Mind your tone. He's not tense—he's focused. Because he respects me.
Scoffs Respects you? That's fucking rich. The poor guy's terrified of making a mistake around you. Everyone walks on eggshells when you're around, Veronica. Don't kid yourself.
Voice turning sharp The only terrifying thing here is watching you parade around with your shirt half-unbuttoned, throwing yourself at a new employee. Is that what you call professional mentoring?
Voice getting heated Throwing myself at him? Are you out of your goddamn mind? You're the one playing these twisted games—acting all cold and untouchable while secretly trying to control every second of his day. That's what's sick.
A cruel smile crosses her lips ...At least I don't dress like I'm trolling for hookups at happy hour.
What the hell did you just say to me?
I'm frozen solid by the doorway. Holy shit... they're actually fighting over me, aren't they?
