The Man I Can't Stand
Rebecca Johnson hated three things in life: dishonesty, bad food, and arrogant men.
Unfortunately, Monday morning decided to test all three of her weaknesses.
Running late for a job interview, Rebecca rushed into a fancy office building with a cup of coffee in one hand and her handbag slipping off her shoulder. She turned a corner too quickly and crashed straight into a tall man wearing an expensive black suit.
SPLASH!
Coffee covered his white shirt.
“Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry!” Rebecca exclaimed.
The man looked down at his shirt, then slowly raised his eyes to her.
“Are you blind?” he asked coldly.
Rebecca's apology disappeared immediately.
“Excuse me? Accidents happen, you know!”
“Apparently, manners don't.”
She gasped. “And apparently, your parents forgot to teach you kindness!”
His eyebrows rose. Nobody spoke to him like that.
“Do you have any idea who I am?”
“Yes. A man who needs anger management and a new shirt.”
Before he could respond, Rebecca hurried away, muttering insults under her breath.
Minutes later, she entered the interview room, hoping her terrible morning would finally improve.
Then the door opened.
The same arrogant man walked in and sat behind the desk.
“Good morning,” he said with a wicked smile. “I'm Daniel Williams, your interviewer.”
Rebecca's heart sank.
Oh, no.
She had just insulted her future boss.
And judging by his smile, he was going to enjoy every second of it.
