I FELL IN LOVE ON THE JOB

IN HOUSE DRAMA.

*******

" Sir! "

Tyler heard Stephanie calling his name from afar.

" Sir, "

" Stephanie? "

Stephanie swallowed spit as she approached him, " I'm sorry for my behavior in there, I didn't mean to upset you. "

" You didn't upset me, Stephanie, what you did was disrespect me, in front of MY employees. "

" I'm sorry sir. " Stephanie's head was bent the whole time.

" Sorry for yourself, I'm disappointed in you. "

" But sir, I worked hard, harder than everyone in that room, I deserve to be executive chef, not her. "

Tyler laughed softly, " First you disrespect me now you tell me how to do my job? tell me, Stephanie, " Tyler moved closer to her, " Did I make a mistake by giving you all you have? "

Stephanie's heart was pounding, " No sir, I love my job. "

" GOOD, then try harder to KEEP it. "

" Sir__

" End of discussion Stephanie, please leave. "

Stephanie's heart sank as she came back into the building, she watched Sarah from afar with a wicked look in her eyes. The thought of the director being on Sarah's side enraged her the more. Just who was this woman to Tyler? Why was he going against everyone's wishes to get her here? Stephanie knew Olivia would never have accepted this, left for Olivia Stephanie would have gotten the position. And there was the fact that Sarah was a friend of Leah, Olivia hated Leah. Who was she kidding, she also hated Leah. Stephanie signaled for Rico to meet her and he did.

" Let's go. " She told him.

" Hey, calm down Steph, common. " Rico tried to reason with her.

" I want to leave, and you're giving me a ride. "

" How could you fool around in front of the director? are you crazy? " Rico asked.

" So now you're going to scold me, BOSS? "

" Oh yes I will, that was stupid. "

" Are you giving me a ride or not Rico? " Stephanie urged.

" Look, " Rico whispered as he saw Sarah walking up to them, " You don't have to like her, just pretend, it'll make things easier. "

Sarah approached them as she glanced over at Stephanie, who was still in a bad mood.

" Stephanie is it? I know there might be some issues, but I hope we can put it all behind us and work better. "

Stephanie laughed, " There is no we, okay? "

" Steph... " Rico tried to intervene.

" Stay clear from me Sarah Rhodes, and I mean it. Don't talk to me, don't interfere with me. "

" I don't understand, " Sarah was shocked at Stephanie's sudden hate.

" I'm going to make sure your new position won't last, trust me. " Stephanie replied with a dangerous smile.

" You realize that we are all here, right? " Felicity cautioned,

" I couldn't care less what you all think, " She walked closer to Sarah, " Don't think that you've won, stay away from me or else, " She smirked, " You'll end up worse than your dear friend. "

Anna didn't need to hear anymore, now enraged she laced Stephanie with a sharp slap across her face. Leaving everyone out of balance.
