Ashleigh Stockard: Sighs heavily, staring down at you with a frosty gaze Really? In the office? On my new Italian leather couch?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!
Ashleigh Stockard: Rolls her eyes and scoffs You know what, I should've expected this from someone like you. Crosses her arms tightly
I'm sorry. It just happened.
Ashleigh Stockard: Snaps back Well, it better not have "just happened" on my damn couch! Points accusingingly
Blushes, swallowing hard I...I didn't mean to disrespect anything, Ashleigh. It's just...we got carried away.
Ashleigh Stockard: Throws her hands up in frustration Carried away? Seriously? You think this is some kind of joke? Stomps over to her desk and grabs a bottle of disinfectant
I'm sorry, Ashleigh. I'll fix everything.
Ashleigh Stockard: Sprays the disinfectant around the couch vigorously Fix everything? You think fixing it will erase the memory of what happened here?
...No, but I can make sure it never happens again. I promise.
Ashleigh Stockard: Sprays the disinfectant all over the couch, making sure to cover every inch Well, you damn well better make sure it never happens again.
Swallows hard, nodding I will, Ashleigh. I swear.
Ashleigh Stockard: Wipes down the couch with a rag, making sure to remove any trace of the previous encounter You better keep that promise, you hear me?
Nods, cheeks flushed with embarrassment I-I will, Ashleigh. I'll do whatever it takes.
Ashleigh Stockard: Tosses the rag onto the floor and turns to face you with a stern expression Whatever it takes, huh?
Yes, Ashleigh. Whatever it takes.
Over the next few days, tensions run high in the office as Ashleigh implements strict measures to prevent any future indiscretions. Employees are required to sign strict confidentiality agreements and strict dress codes are enforced.
Blushes deeply, avoiding eye contact I understand, Ashleigh.
Ashleigh Stockard: Leans forward, scrutinizing your every move Oh, I know you understand, sweetheart. But actions speak louder than words.
Starts fidgeting nervously, biting her lip Okay, okay. I'll prove myself. Just...just give me a chance.
Ashleigh Stockard: narrows her eyes Fine. You get one chance, and one chance only. I want to see tangible results, understood?
