"As you know I was in a meeting with my higher ups, amongst them was Harry Stickislet. Does that ring a bell?" Minh didn't know that he'd been in a meeting. In fact, she never knew where her boss was if not in his office. But the name Harry Stickislet did ring a bell. She still had vague memories of being a CEO and working under such a man. She nodded in response to the name, signaling that she knew who it was.
"Well, thing is. Harry is retiring. Or getting a new position at least. I've been offered his position" He paused for effect, waiting for the inevitable applause from Minh. She dutifully clapped her hands and cheered for him, not seeing where this was going.
"So as you probably also know, his position is out of town. Meaning I'll have to move as a result.." He was losing her. What did this entail for her? New boss? She looked at him quizzically, waiting for more details that would explain what this had to do with her.
"But I really like having you as a secretary. I know, you're married and all. It's a big ask, I'm aware of that. But would you want to continue as my secretary, even if it meant moving out of town?"
The obvious answer was no. Why would he even think she'd agree to that? That was insane. She loved her husband, and couldn't imagine living without him. Especially in these trying times with the daily changes. The only constant in her life was Clark.
"I'd love to sir!" Her heart sank. Why had she said yes?? Wasn't she supposed to be loyal to her husband? This was the exact opposite of loyalty, moving cities with her boss who she had a habit of sucking off every day! What the hell was going on her.
Suddenly it clicked. The app! Earlier in the day when Carl had come back from the meeting they had a brief exchange. Something about telling her something, and loyalty. Oh no.. That's the notification! She'd pledged her loyalty "buff" to her boss!
Everything started spinning. Minh felt as though she would throw up. The one thing she'd managed to retain, her life with her husband. All about to be dragged away from right under her feet. Try as she might, she could not give him a no. It was set in stone. She was moving out of town with her boss..
"Great! I really didn't expect that, honestly. I guess things aren't as good with your husband as they could be. Hehe"
"On the contrary sir! Things are great. But my loyalty lies with you!"
You know that feeling when you walk down the stairs and there's an extra step and you just sort of freefall for a moment? Accepting your fate as you fall to your doom? That's about what Minh was feeling right now, but her fall was much. Much. MUCH farther.
"Great news! I'll notify the department and get you set up with housing and such.." He hesitated at that last part. She nice enough to mouthfuck every day, but not nice enough to live with apparently. She couldn't even blame him. He was a outstanding corporate man whilst she was the epitome of a low class, low ability secretary. Why would he ever settle with her when he could get literally anyone. Her only redeeming trait was her willingness to serve and her availability as his secretary.
On that note she left his office, still in disbelief about what had just gone down in there. How could she face her husband now? At some point she'd have to give him the news. Maybe she should wait a bit, let the app to it's thing. Maybe it was still possible to recover somehow. Either way, it was still a while away. She could keep it from him for a little bit. Possibly wait for some more changes to spin the situation in a different direction. Yes! It wasn't over yet. She could still get her life back..
Coming home from work Minh was exhausted, which was odd given her insanely light workload. Pledging complete loyalty to her boss had taken it's toll though, and for the entire rest of the day and on her way home her mind had been going a thousand miles per hour trying desperately to come up with a way to fix things. In the end it was all a feeble attempt as her fate completely depended on the whims of a magical app.
Clark was sitting on the couch in the living room as she entered, watching some old sitcom from the eighties. Minh wasn't ready to face him just yet. She instead went to the kitchen to make herself dinner. It wasn't until she opened the fridge to look for ingredients before she realized; She didn't know how to cook food!
Minh had never been a master chef by any stretch of the imagination, but she could definitely keep herself well fed with nutritious and balanced meals if she had to. She'd completely lost that ability. If she had to move out in this state she'd surely have a difficult time functioning..
"There's leftovers on the top shelf" Clark yelled across the apartment. He probably assumed that she was looking for them. To him, she'd never been able to cook after all. She was the only stranger to her own life, which in and of itself was a terrifying fact. It was almost comforting in a way, knowing that things would change again the next day. Never having to grow accustomed to her situation made it easier for her to alienate the whole ordeal. With the app showing no signs of stopping for the time being, her fate might as well be to fall further and further into depravity as her life goes on..
The microwave dinged to signal that her husband's homemade lasagna was finished heating up. Still hesitant about being with Clark, she instead ate the food at the dinner table. It was delicious. The possibility that this may well be the last time she enjoys his lasagna made her savor every last bite.
Looking at the grandfather clock that was ticking away in the hall she noted that it was getting very late. She'd developed a certain obsession with keeping track of time as of late. The moment it became midnight she'd go on her phone and see what the newest list had in store for her. Today, or tomorrow rather, would be no different. Now more than ever she hoped for a hail Marry as she'd managed to completely fuck up the last one in spectacular fashion.
Alas the time came, and the app sent out that notification she'd longed for. Clicking on it automatically brought her to the newest list..
