I FELL IN LOVE ON THE JOB

XAVIER TO THE RESCUE.

" Steph, Steph! calm down. " Xavier cautioned as he pulled her aside, " What are you doing? "

" She can't stay here! " Stephanie pointed at her, " She can't stay here! "

" These fights have to stop, you can't keep doing this. "

" She keeps getting on my last nerves. "

" She is your superior, what the hell Steph? " Xavier felt like he had to remind her.

" f**k you, Xavier. "

" Try treating her with respect, just because you're f*****g Rico doesn't mean you can't identify who's boss. "

Stephanie arched a brow, " She's not my boss. "

" These fights have to stop if you want to keep this job. "

Stephanie chuckled, " Are you threatening me? who the f**k do you think you are? "

" Let me repeat myself, just in case you didn't hear me properly. These fights have to stop if you want to keep this job. " Xavier replied with a stern voice.

Stephanie wasn't sure why Xavier sounded that way, but she was compelled to retreat. Lacing one final look at Sarah, she said, " And if I knew anything about Leah, which of course I do, I would never tell you. Never! " Stephanie retorted dashing away.

" We'll see about that. " Sarah whispered to herself.

Xavier turned over to Sarah as he drew out a long breath, " I'm so sorry about that, I can't believe she's still__

" Thank you, Xavier, " Sarah smiled handing his phone over to him, " Is she someone special? "

Xavier glanced at his screen and sent Sarah a brief discomforting look, " No, it's... it's uh, it's nothing. "

" Oh, okay. " Sarah shouldn't have meddled.

" If she pulls this stunt ever again, I'll deal with her myself. " Xavier replied with the same stern voice as before.

Sarah heard him the first time but she didn't take him seriously, but when he repeated himself, she had no choice but to question her resolve. She was curious as to how Xavier was planning to carry out his claims. As far as she knew, he was only a chef, not even an executive. What power did he possibly have to get someone fired?

" You'll get her fired? " Sarah wanted to be sure she heard correctly.

" Well, we can't keep working together if she's not willing to behave. "

" I'm more convinced on how you plan to do that, you may have forgotten that she's one of your boss's lapdog. "

Xavier smiled, " Yeah you're right, she's a LAPDOG. "

Sarah arched a brow.

" I'll catch you later. " Xavier knew he had to put a stop to where the conversation was leading to.
