Mr Sinclair

"Good morning Mr. Sinclair. Here is the report you asked for on the top ten upcoming models of VADE". She placed a file on his desk, hoping to get some kind of response.

 He was too busy staring down at his laptop to even notice that someone was standing in front of him.

She waited a little longer, not sure if to call him again or leave. She just got the job and was still getting used to her boss.

"What are you still doing here?" He questioned, without raising his head to look at her.

"Uh, well, I thought, I mean was telling you that I got you the...."

 "I heard you". He cut her short.

"Okay Sir, have a nice day" She turned to leave.

"How is that possible?" His voice came from behind her.

She turned back, confused. “Sir?".

"Where is my coffee?" He asked, still having his eyes on his screen.

 "Oh I'm so sorry Sir" She hurried out of his office.

"Oh no! What have I done? Why didn't I just listen to Mrs. Hubert when she was putting me through all this...oh damn it". She kept on mumbling to herself in front of the coffee machine.

"Hey what's up Jo, how's the new job going?". Came Tom's voice from behind, it startled her cause she thought it was Mr. Sinclair's at first.

"Oh, Tom you scared me... Disastrous is what it is! I can't even get the stupid coffee right. I just can't remember how he likes his coffee, is it black or with milk and sugar, if so, then how many spoons of sugar. And I can't go ask him because then he will think I don't know how to do my job and he will fire me and I really need this job, my entire life depends on this damn coffee right now!"

 "Whoa whoa, calm down Jo. You'll be fine. Why don't you just not add anything. Then take some milk and sugar along so he can put it the way he likes it, sound like a good idea?". Tom suggested.

Her face lit up immediately. “Oh Tom you're so smart, you just saved my job thank you". Gave him a friendly hug.

Tom laughed a little. “Calm down, Jo, I'm sure he won't fire you over coffee".

"I don't wanna find out". She sang before walking out the door hurriedly but careful not to spill the coffee.
