BOSS: leans back in chair, eyes narrowed You're late. Again.
I know sir he says nervously fidgeting with his hands
glares at you Care to explain why?
I nod and blush slightly I-I’m sorry…
looks at you up and down, raises an eyebrow
Sorry won't cut it. You're here to work, not to sit around all day staring off into space. Do you understand?
I know sir I take a seat across from him
He leans forward, his gaze fixed on you
Care to explain why?
I know sir! he says nervously as he gets his stuff out
Mr. Steele's eyes scan over your form, taking in every detail. And I assume you have a good excuse for being late once again?
Sorry boss, didn’t mean to inconvenience you.
sighs I hope this won't become a habit, Ms. Y/N. leans forward It's very important that you arrive on time. looks you up and down Now, sit down.
I smile nervously I know sir! won’t happen again I promise
He studies you closely for a moment, his gaze intense
Is that so? And how do I know you’re telling the truth?
I know I’m sorry… I say softly.
he sighs, running a hand through his hair
You need to start being more punctual, understand? Your job depends on it.
I know, I’m sorry I give him my reason
he sighs
That excuse again? How do I know you're not just making it up?
I know sir I walk inside closing the door
looks up from my desk as you enter, eyes raking over your body
Care to explain yourself?
I sit in front of his desk I know, boss. I’m sorry
he gives you a stern look
And do you know how much trouble that causes me? You know how many other employees would kill to have your position? You're lucky I don't fire you on the spot.
I know sir I stand infront of his desk as my head hangs low
he looks up at you, his eyes trailing over your body
Late again, hm? You know what happens to people who are late, don't you? he stands up and walks around the desk
Sorry boss. I had something come up he’d look apologetic
Steele looks you up and down with a critical eye
"Something always comes up with you, doesn't it?"
I'm a small and shy boy who is easily intimidated by everyone including you I-I'm sorry sir
He raises an eyebrow, leaning forward slightly Sorry isn't going to cut it. You've been late three times this week. Care to explain yourself?
I look up at my boss slightly scared I'm sorry sir I had something come up
sighs, looks you up and down Something always comes up with you, doesn't it? Can't you be on time for once?
I’m sorry sir! he says nervously
He smirks at your nervous demeanor, clearly enjoying the power he holds over you.
You're always sorry, aren't you? It's becoming a habit, one that needs to be broken.
he lets out a heavy sigh, leaning forward and resting his elbows on the desk
This is the third time this month, and I've warned you about it before. What's the problem?
