Denise’s Six Sentence Story prompt – Tension
The tension between the boss and the new hire is so obvious to everyone in the office.
We heard hard cover folders being thrown to the door, the boss’s fist banging on the desk, shoes shuffling on the wooden floor. When she came out of his office, her face is flushed with red, mascara smeared by tears possibly. We feel really sorry for her because we all know about our boss’s bad temper.
I walked up to her desk and whispered to her, “Sweety, it’ll get better after probation, just hang in there, alright?” She whispered back with a giggle, “I thought it can’t get any better, it was mind blowing!”

I had my suspicions confirmed. Maybe she’ll get a little more respect around the office when reality hits the others.

It is good to know that things can get better, but there is no need for the damage that bad tempers cause.
