“Darcy!!” barked the harsh voice from the door.
Darcy jerked away from where she was bending over to retrieve some papers from the bottom drawer of her desk.
“Oh! Mr. Blankenbaker. I…I didn’t know you were coming in early today.” she stuttered guiltily.
Instead of answering he stared at her with unnerving intensity causing her to shuffle her feet and fidget with her hands.
She knew she was in trouble now because she hadn’t followed the rules. She tried to think of something to say, to explain.
“Maybe he won’t be too displeased because my shift doesn’t start for another 5 minutes.” she thought to herself nervously. She looked at his face but was unable to meet his gaze. Her boss, Roy Blankenbaker was a very attractive man with blond hair and piercing green eyes that could stare through you until you felt like he knew your every secret. She had been working for him just over a month and in that time she had gotten to know that he was very stern and hated it when his rules were broken. He made sure the mistake was never repeated.
