    “All I can say is good luck and watch out,” he said, giving her the new badge and continued on with his business.
    Veronica clipped the badge to her blouse wondering what he meant by wishing her luck. She walked over to the elevator and pushed the up arrow waiting with a group of people for the doors to open.
    She climbed onto the elevator and pressed the button for the seventh floor and checked her watch. She had five minutes left before being late for work and by judging on how many lights there were lit up she was going to be late.
    One after one, the elevator emptied itself until finally she was able to get off and race to her desk outside the door of Mr. Ross’s office.
    She took her seat and placed her belonging’s underneath her desk and logged into the computer system, “This looks so bad…way to go Veronica,” she said to herself under her breath.
    After a few minutes, the office door opened and two men were walking out laughing and shaking hands, “It was good to catch up with you sir…oh, this is my new secretary Veronica who obviously is late,” said the younger of the two.
    Veronica looked up in shock at the handsome man who made the comment and then smiled at the older gentleman who had his hand stretched out to her, “Nice to meet you Veronica,” he said with a wink of his eye.
    “It’s nice to meet you sir” Veronica said blushing after what her boss had done, the two men parted ways and her boss walked into his office not saying a word. “Are you coming?”
    Mr. Ross yelled from inside his office making Veronica jump as she reached for her pen and pad of paper, “Yes sir Mr. Ross” she said as she ran into his office.
    “First off, don’t call me Mr. Ross because that is my father’s name, you can call me Henry and secondly, you are late,” he said staring at her as if she had committed a crime.
    Veronica couldn’t help but stare as he stood there in his office looking like Clark Gable. He had dark slicked black hair and was wearing a tailored suit that fit him very well.
    You could tell that he was very fit and his cool blue eyes stared back at you as if they could peer through your soul, “Yes Mr. Ross…I mean Henry. I’m sorry I was late sir.
    It took me a little longer to get here than expected,” Veronica said nervously as she had her pen and paper at the ready. “I don’t care what your reasoning is for being late, I want you here on time and ready every day. Do you understand me?” Henry said beginning to live up to the standards that people had warned her about.
    Veronica nodded her head and raised her pen to her paper as her boss began to give her his agenda and errands she would have to run.
    “My dry cleaning needs to be picked up by one, I have a woman coming over tonight for dinner so I need you to pick out some candies or chocolates since you women are pretty much all the same, and I have a lunch date with the Vice President of the company so make sure you have a table reserved at his favorite restaurant and that should be all for now,” Henry said without even giving her a glance.
    Veronica turned and walked out of her boss’ office and sat back at her desk looking over the to-do list and was shocked at what he had said to her about getting his lady guest a gift.

    Women were definitely not the same even when it came to gifts, even when it came to Veronica herself. Veronica was an educated woman who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and was only working this desk job because she needed to save up for a place to stay while she looked for a job in her field of work.
    But if there was one thing that she knew it would be that she wasn’t going to let it get to her even if he used his intimidation techniques to get rid of her.
    Veronica did as she was told and made her first stop to pick up her boss’ dry cleaning which happened to be nothing but his boxers. The second stop was picking up some chocolates
