"Paul Levesque, get in my office now!" Stephanie yelled over the intercom, Paul stood in the bathroom staring at the wall above the urinal. He closed his eyes and zipped his pants up. He considered sneaking out the back door and wait for the call, she wasn't as scary over the phone. He stared at himself in the big mirror as he washed his hands, then the door swung open.
"Dude, she really wants you in her office, you'd better get in there before she comes for your head." His friend Shawn stood next to one of the urinals, "she's walking around asking people if they've seen you, that's when you know she's pissed off."
"Fuck." Paul sighed, "you think if I hide out in here I might be able to not be found. I don't wanna get yelled at today."
The door swung open again, this time it was his boss, "where the hell were you? I called for you over the intercom twice. And I also called your cell phone twice, are you trying to ignore me and make me more angrier?"
Paul gulped, "no Miss McMahon, I was going to the bathroom, I didn't hear you call for me." He dried his hands off, "is everything okay? You seem really upset right now." He tried to suck up to her.
"No, I'm not okay, and you ignoring me isn't helping at all." She looked at Shawn, "get out, I need to talk to Mr. Levesque alone." Without word, Shawn jumped from the urinal to the door and outside, "you have to take my car and go get Madison. Her daycare closes early today and I can't go get her, I'm doing paperwork right now."
"Why do I have to take your car?" He kept his distance, fearing that she might reach out and slap him for asking questions.
"Because, I have her carseat." She handed him the keys, "it's the black Range Rover, I know you've seen it before."
"Okay, yeah, I know what you're talking about." He took the keys and shoved them in his pocket, when I pick her up, what do you want me to do? Should I bring her here?"
"Yes, of course bring her here. Where else would you take her?" She turned around and opened the door, "and don't take Shawn, please."
"Sure." He nodded and watched her leave, he stood with his head poked outside the door until she was out of sight, then he took out his cell phone and pushed the walkie-talkie button, "Shawn, meet me in the parking lot in five minutes, we have a job to do."
And sure enough, Paul looked at his watch when he got out to the parking lot, it was four minutes later and Shawn was standing beside Paul's car, "what are we doing?"
"Going to pick up Stephanie's daughter, Madison, her daycare called late and said they have to close early today, that's why Stephanie was so pissed off today."
"Paul, she's always pissed off, at everyone, and you let her take it out on you, don't just say she was pissed off today." Shawn looked confused when Paul didn't unlock his car, "wait, how are we getting Madison?"
"This very nice Range Rover here, Madison's carseat is already in there, so, she handed me the keys, you aren't even supposed to be with me, she told me not to take you." He unlocked the new, black Range Rover, "since we aren't using my gas, I'm taking my time driving around, we aren't in a rush, right?" He started the car and put it into reverse.
"But even if you aren't using your gas, what's the problem? You're like one under her, you make almost just as much." Shawn buckled himself in, "and hey, why didn't she want me to go with you? Does she really not like me that much?"
"Yeah, you could say that." Paul backed out of the front parking spot and slowly circled around the lot, "duck for a second, just in case she's like, watching me or something. I don't doubt that she would spy on me."
Shawn put his head between his knees until he felt it was safe to come back up, "she's overbearing, how the hell do you put up with that?" He reached for the radio and hit power, "you're glasses are in your car Paul. You know you aren't supposed to drive without your glasses."
"It ain't my car. Stephanie doesn't know I'm supposed to be wearing glasses." He pulled a paper out of his pocket, "turn the navigation thing on, and hit the number 2, it should come up with the daycare place's address." He waited as Shawn pushed the buttons, "that's all she told me, I have no clue where this place is."
They drove past the daycare center twice before realizing the navigation system told them to turn, "this is it, right here." Paul pulled into the small parking lot and shut the engine off, "damn, I would love to have Steph's car, that thing is nice." He pushed the keypad and locked the SUV, "I wonder if I could trade in the Mercedes."
"Paul, come on, you don't want the same car as that bitch, I like the Mercedes better." She covered his mouth, "something tells me bitch wasn't the right word to say here."
"You think?" Paul put his hands on the counter, "um, I'm here for Stephanie to pick up Madison McMahon, she's at work still, I'm sure she called and said that Paul Levesque was coming."
"Yes, here's Maddy's bag, she's almost out of diapers in there too." The woman walked to a crib, "she was taking a nap, but here she is, she's such a sweet baby."
Paul took her into his arms and smiled for a second, "alright, thanks, I'm sure you'll see Miss McMahon tomorrow, have a nice day." He slowly carried Madison to the car, "now we're going back to mommy's office, where I prey she'll be nice to me for once."
"Pshh, yeah, right, Stephanie doesn't know how to be nice. You know, she's gonna regret the day she needs someone's help outside of work, cause there's no way she has friends, nobody will ever help her."
