My Dear Prince of Darkness

"VALERIE YOU ARE FIRED!"  My direct supervisor Kevin yelled slamming a termination letter down on the the table between us.

"What are you talking about?"  I demanded.

Why would I be getting fired?  I had worked with the company for two years now, had never been written up, had never broken a rule.  Why would I be fired?

Unless.....

No, no way, there was absolutely no way this disgusting pig was firing me because I turned him down.  He couldn't be, right?

"What grounds?"  I asked Kevin slowly narrowing my eyes.

"Your performance has gone down the drain Valerie."  Kevin said smirking.

My performance had gone down the drain....

Right, this had nothing to do with my performance and no amount of times he said would change that fact.

"Give me an example."  I said slamming my hands on the table.  "Where has my performance gone down?"

If he wanted to claim that was it then he would need to prove it to me, otherwise I would happily go above his head.  If he thought I was easy to bully he had another thing coming.

Kevin had begun to squirm under my defiance, good he better be squirming.  I would be damned if he was going to get one up on me.

"I don't need to show you anything."  He said beginning to look cocky again.  "However...."  oh there it was.  "I'd be willing to overlook it if you're willing to scratch my back, if you know what I mean."

And there it was folks, this had nothing to do with my work performance and everything to do with me rejecting this sleaze a few weeks back.

"I will pass."  Grimacing I tried to not even think about how disgusting he was being right now.  "I will just take this with the higher ups."

Turning I started making my way to the door, I couldn't continue to look at that disgusting pig any longer.

The sound of chair legs scraping against the ground came from behind followed by quick footsteps.  It seemed that Kevin wasn't going to let me leave that easily.

Picking up my pace I quickly reached the door and began opening it only to have a meaty hand fly past my face before connecting with the door before me.  With a loud bang it was slammed shut trapping me inside.

Whirling around I came face to face with a very red faced and crazed looking Kevin.

"What the hell are you doing?"  I hissed backing up a few steps so he wasn't directly on top of me.  "MOVE YOUR HAND RIGHT NOW!"

"Or what?"  Kevin cackled beginning to lean in close.  "What is a defenseless woman like you going to do to me if I don't?"
