Bossing the Boss

Boss gets taken down

Chapter 1

“That’s it,” fumed Tom as he stormed into the lunchroom. “I’m not working for that bitch any more. As soon as she comes back from lunch, I’m going in there to give her a piece of my mind and quit this lousy job.”

Suzanne Stevens might own this pharmaceutical company, but being rich and successful didn’t give her the right to treat him like a piece of trash. He had a degree in business, but she acted as if he was some sort of office boy, relegating him to mindless busy work and always looking down her nose at him.

He had to admit she was a good-looking woman with facial features that would make a model proud and long chestnut hair tucked up in a tight professional bun. And even underneath those conservative business suits, he could tell she had hot body.

At 33, she was about the same age at Tom.

The former Homecoming queen had brains to go with her beauty. During college, she had stumbled upon the solution to a problem that had been plaguing the medical community for years and quickly translated her formula into a small fortune, which she used to start her own company.

More successes followed and the company quickly grew. She poured all of her energies into the company, never wasting time on a family or even boyfriends.

Tom had started working for her a few months ago. His situation quickly soured. Suzanne had managed to hide her bitchy side during the interview process. Once he started working there it became clear how much she enjoyed stepping on men.

Well, he wasn’t going to take it any more.

Tom grabbed a sandwich and was figuring out exactly how he was going to tell her off when he saw his friend Jodi from research waving him over to her table.

Jodi was the only thing about this company that he was going to miss.

She was just a few years out of college, working for the company as a junior researcher. Jodi wasn’t a great beauty, but was a cute girl with a great personality. They had hit it off at once and had become close friends.

As soon as Tom reached her table, Jodi could tell something was wrong. She asked what the problem was and Tom poured out his story.

“Is it really that bad?” she asked.

“Worse,” he said. “She even makes me get her coffee. That’s the worst thing of all.”

Jodi suddenly looked interested.

“Do you get her coffee every day?” she asked.

“Yes, and she seems to enjoy every minute of humiliating me in front of the entire office,” Tom said.

“You know,” Jodi said. “I may have something to help you.”

“What do you mean?” Tom said.

“Well,” she answered. “I’ve been working on a new as part of a top-secret military project. I haven’t even told my bosses about it because I’m afraid it won’t work. It’s supposed to re-align brain waves so that the person who takes it is unable resist the commands of the first person they come into contact with.”

Tom was skeptical.

“That sounds like science fiction,” he said.

“But it works, I think,” she said. “I’m afraid to test it because if it doesn’t work, my bosses will think I’m a complete idiot. Maybe you could slip it into Suzanne’s coffee.

“Since you’re going to quit anyway, it won’t matter if it doesn’t work. But, if it does work, maybe you could get her to treat you better.”

Tom was intrigued.

“What do I have to lose?” he said.

Jodi arranged to slip a vial of the to Tom before he left work. He would try it out the next day.

What’s next?
