    ... chaos broke out in the back of the room. But next to her, Olivia sat with her hand over her mouth, clearly trying her best to stifle laughter as she looked directly at Nora.

Wonderful!How many times can I publicly embarrass myself in one day?Nora slid down her chair, covering her face with her hand.

It wasn’t even lunchtime yet, so the possibilities were endless.

✴✴✴

Thirty minutes later, the meeting wrapped up. Nora hopped out of her seat and sprinted out of the room as quickly as she could, nearly barreling into a few of the smaller interns in the process. There wasn’t going to be any avoiding David and his inevitable tirade, but if she could at least get to her desk on the opposite side of the floor, she could prevent it from happening in front of the entire office, further plunging her into a pit of her own embarrassment.

Once again, no such luck could be had for Nora as she fled the conference room and ran directly into David on the other side of the door. He must have gone out the exit on the other end of the room and waited for her, like a snake in the grass, ready to lunge at her neck at the first opportunity.This really is not my day, is it?

Her goose was cooked. But she was nervous and embarrassed, not only after what had happened in the meeting, but by the fact that she was now in the process of getting a new asshole ripped open in front of everyone in the office. She couldn’t help the verbal overflow.

There was also something about the way David had cornered her against the wall, shoving his stubby finger in her face as he screamed, that had Nora feeling genuinely scared. She had been in this position numerous times before, with someone else doling out the harsh words, making her feel like dirt. Less than dirt. Worthless and stupid. Nora’s heart was thundering in her chest and a layer of sweat began to form on her forehead as she pressed her body into the wall behind her, attempting to make herself as small as possible.

“I don’t want to hear your excuses!” he spat. Literally. “This is your final warning, Bennet. If you fuck up again-”

“Good morning Mr. Jarrick.” Someone appeared at Nora’s side, addressing David as they loomed over his stocky frame, abruptly putting an end to his verbal assault. ...
