"She just told me you fired someone for talking, is that true?"

"Well, yes."

"Who did you fire?"

"Mrs. Woods."

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "You are fired."

"What?!"

"You heard me, get the hell out. Don’t take anything that you didn’t bring with you."

"But…"

Her eyes shoot open, "Don’t give me that dumb ass speech about how you run this company and all that bullshit, just get the fuck out."

She turns and pulls me after her as she exits the room. I make sure to look at the plate on the door and realize that Dick is his name. Now I wonder, did the name make him a dick or did his parents just know.

Before I could wonder for to long, Ashley had pulled us both to a stop next to a cubicle, "Mrs, Woods?"

The crying girl from earlier looked up at us, "Yes?"

"You’re not fired and I’m giving you two extra weeks of paid vacation whenever you want it."

Ok really, who the fuck is this chick? "Who are you?" Seems I’m not the only one wondering.

"I’m Ashley Davies."

She gasped, "Oh, Mrs. Davies, I’m sorry about talking and everything, it won’t happen…"

Ashley laughed, "It’s alright, I’m the one that should be sorry. I encourage talking, it makes employees happier and more efficient I believe."

"But Mr…"

"I just fired him."

"Oh…"

Ashley smiled at her, "You can have the rest of the day off, Mrs. Woods."

"Thank you so much!"

"No thank you. So does this mean you will come back to work for me?"

Mrs. Woods smiled, "Well… Maybe if I got a raise…"

"Done."

Mrs. Woods mouth droped, "I was just kidding!"

Ashley smirked, "I’m not."

Mrs. Woods squealed and threw her arms around Ashley, jumping, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"No problem."

Mrs. Woods finally let her go and they exchanged goodbyes before Ashley began pulling me back towards the head offices.

She walks to a door which she opens only barely allowing me to read the plate on the door, ‘Presi.’

"Ashley, we can’t go in here!" She pulls me in anyway, before shutting the door behind us. I look around the room, "it’s smaller then I imagined."
