A furious boss

My phone rang the moment I came into my office, it was as if the caller was timing me all the while as I came to work.

"Hello," I pick up the call.

"Come to my office right now, we need to start planning on the project." The boss said in a commanding tone.

Listening to him, one will think he's talking to a maidservant, without being aware he's talking to me.

Hearing his words made me smirk in glee.

"I'm sorry, it seems you've called the wrong person." I said in a voice of pity, "I can redirect you to the person you intend to call. If only you'll wait for a…."

" Am I not speaking with Osy?" He asked in a confused tone.

Without being near him, you can hear the confusion and feel it *just kidding. How can someone feel another person's confusion?*

" Why are you making it sound as if I dialled a wrong office line?"

" Oh that, I switched the paper with BB. You can call her office line, and ask her to come up there for the project discussion. I'm no longer in the same group as you. "

" How dare you change your papers with another?" He growled into the phone," go to her office right now, and exchange papers with her. I want you in the office in fifteen minutes." He commands like the boss he is.

Unfortunately, that kind of command doesn't move me at all. You can say am immune to the use of such a tone.

"You said it was incidental, right? I don't think you should have any problem with the change. After all, it might have been BB who picked the same number as you did.

Have a fantastic day discussing the plans with her, I need to complete my task with my group.

Have a wonderful day. " I disconnect the call.

" Good riddance," I sigh, leaning on my chair, I close my eyes for a bit.

The boss won't mind at all should he see me resting, after all, I've gone far in the work allocated to me. He has no reason whatsoever to shout at me.

Working through my next line of work since I've prepared the databases for the workers, and have done a payroll analysis.

I entered the next part of the assignment, mail merging.

The end of the year party that's coming up in four months needs to be prepared, and not only that, but I have to send mails to the workers who're due for promotion.

This way, they can prepare themselves for the promotion exam that's to take place next month.

I brought out the file and read through it. Correcting the mistakes I saw on it before I started tying it into the system.

The door to my office opened, and BB walked in, her face not as bright as I've gotten used to.

She looks like a person who had a Collision with a train on their way to work and survived to tell the tale of the encounter.

"Good morning....."

"Let's swap papers." She dropped mine on the table, "I need mine back."

"What about the promise I made?" I look at her in question as I tried to think of her reason for returning the paper we swapped.

"Forget about it, I don't need it anymore." She says with a long look," I want to get back to the group I was in before we swapped."

" But you agreed to swap with me. Why did you suddenly change your mind? You would rather not get some juicy gossip on him anymore?"

I tried to bait her with one thing I'm quite aware she can never say no to, but surprisingly, she said no to it.

" I don't need to collect juicy secret facts about him. Just exchange the papers with me, I need to go complete my task." She says impatiently, gone is the BB who would rather stay over for gossip than work her arse off.

"What made you change your mind?" Asking, I rummaged in my cupboard for her paper.

"The boss did." Taking the paper from me, she stormed out of my office before I can ask what the boss did.

That mother.....

I sigh.

I'll teach him a lesson.

My phone rang at the moment.

"Come to my office for a discussion." He disconnects the call immediately.

" Come to my office for a discussion." I Mick him, scoffing as I did so.

Presently, I feel like running away from this office to a faraway place where the boss can never find me, even if he has the backing of the gods.

It's just too damn frustrating to work for someone like Osy.

Meka like I heard is an always serious man who takes no shit from anyone, but none of what I heard he did can be compared to that of the devil's incarnate.

Mar is by far the worst.

He's like the Devil himself, come to torture the entire world.

I walk out of my office, and straight to Dozzy's Office.

I don't care whether the boss sees me or not, all I care about is the fact I won't allow him to control me.

In no way will I rush to his office just because he called me? I'll take my time, and make an appearance when I wish to, and not because he asked me to.

"What's up?" Dozzy smiled when he saw I'm the one who came in. The frown he initially had dissolving like sugar deposited in water.

"The boss called me to his office."

"I thought you swapped with BB?" Dozzy asked confused.

" He forced her to give it back to me, so I'm back to being in his group." I sigh.

" You don't like it?" He joked, laughing at the top of his lungs.

"Let's exchange then since you love it." I roll my eyes at him.

" Nah, I want to avoid raising the anger of the fiery boss." He frantically shook his head.

" And you call yourself a friend?"
