"They're red honey"

Now to get these bags in the garbage bin. Deciding I might need help i go to grab someone for assistancer, I stick with the easiest to ask. It's not like i don't get along with my coworkers but with all the attention I got this morning I think its better to steer clear of gossip

"Hey Mara!" I hear in a hushed yell as I see Emily's red hair peaking from the corner.

"Oh hi Emily, think you can help me?" I ask holding a trash bag. She chuckles "Sure, but only if you tell me what you two talked about after I went ahead."

I smile at my curious friend "Alright but there's not much to tell."

After explaining Shawn and I's exchange, I head to get some coffee for me and the 'new boss' as the office has dubbed him.

That's when I hear some good ol' office gossip.

"Wow did you see Sarah's face when she got fired?!"

"I know right? You'd think she'd gotten her extensions pulled out!"

I snicker at that last remark

"But what about that new boss though. He's pretty handsome!~"

"True."

"Mhm."

"He seems like he'll actually treats as all nicely, AND he's put Mara in charge so you know he means business."

"Agreed. Mara should have been the secretary from the beginning. Her work is outstanding!"

I blush as the three praise me. It's nice to know people noticed my work.

"But how do you think they know each other"

oh no.

"Well Mara could'nt have known that long because we only just found out he was coming a week ago and she was confused then."

"OOooh could it be love at first sight?"

I walk out to stop that from becoming a rumor to spread around.

"Actually we bumped into each other outside when he was carrying his boxes. When we got up I helped him carry them over."

The women look shocked to see me but i see mischief in their eyes.

"I found out he was the boss when he came in and fired Sarah."

They take in my words but I can tell they don't fully believe me.

"By the way do you have Sarah's old work done? When you do put it in as your work not hers she doesn't deserve the credit."

This gets a laugh from the others

"True enough!"

With that I turn with my coffee back to my ddmy

"Oh, Mara!"

I turn to see one of the woman smiling

"Just thought I'd let you know, you may want to put you hair down for awhile."

confusion written across my face, she continues

"You ears are apple red honey."

I speed walk back to my desk setting the coffee down I try to process what just happend.

Do I like him?
