Katie started her work week.

Katie got to work early and made sure she got Henry's coffee, long black with no sweetener. Henry gave her another long list of tasks to be completed during the week. Henry seemed somewhat dismissive akin to a slave master not caring about dolling out more work to his obedient slave.

Katie felt somewhat disappointed that she got no acknowledgement for the mountain of work she had completed the week before; a part of her yearned for his acceptance. She got to her desk and started working on the assignments Henry gave her. Closer to lunchtime, her phone buzzed.
