Chapter 1
I really have no idea how all of this happened. How I landed this job; how I fell in love with Dick, how I moved into Wayne Manor. I have no idea. But, I think it started when I got fired from my job.
"Ms. Roth!" "Ms. Roth!" Ms. Roth." "Ms. Roth!" "Roth!" It felt like the world was yelling my name. I sat at my desk, writing away. See, I'm a lawyer. And lawyers…are under stress. Especially when you've got;
A helicopter boss who doesn't even think you can breathe right.
A hot colleague who doesn't even know you exist
That slut of a secretary who always get promotions
One best friend
Namely; Letterman, David, Audrey, and Kri. I mean, I love Kri, but working with your best friend can make you snappish. And I mean snappish. Like, once she yelled at me for making five hundred copies of the wrong document, and I yelled at her for tripping me over.
"ROTH!" I snapped to attention as I heard Letterman scream my name. He came striding over to my desk. He had his cell phone attached to his ear, a cheap looking suit from the Men's Warehouse, and big rubbery clown shoes. He looked…slick. His hair was slicked back, and he had a sleazy grin. He was the epitome of lawyer and boss stereotypes. Wasn't I lucky?
"Yes, sir?" I sat up and shoved my document out of the way. He rested his elbows on my desk, and rocked back and forth. He held his cell phone between his ear and shoulder.
"I get it, babe. You want it! But…I can't…I'm at work…." I blushed, until I realized he was probably talking to his wife. Whom he was cheating on. With Audrey.
Audrey, my feelings aside, is a very pretty girl. She had long flowing blonde hair, pale skin, and huge blue eyes. Facial wise, at least. She had huge bulging breasts, and they were definitely implants. Normally, you couldn't tell…but everyone in my office could. When she came here, she had normal, ample b-cups that went with her body. But ever since she got that raise, and then that promotion, the implants came. And don't leave out butt implants. They were not as big as KiKi's, whose were natural, but nicer.
"Uh…sir?" He held up his hand and kept talking. I awkwardly sat there, looking around. He hung up and looked around.
"Roth?" I held up my hand and he looked at me. I felt like a child in kindergarten. I was twenty-two years old, dang it.
"Yes, sir?" He looked around my desk. It didn't look like he liked what he saw.
"Ms. Roth; why is your working place such a mess?" I mentally rolled my eyes. He was always condescending towards me. It was like he didn't like me. I was always under his radar, and he was always waiting for me to slip up. Looking around, my desk really wasn't that messy. Sure, there was a pretty large amount of random drabbles on my desk, a couple rubber bands, and pens. But my desk at home was messier. It's all in perspective.
"I don't know…w-we've had a lot of…c-cases lately…" I scratched the back of my neck out of impulse. He had a look of disgust on as he inched away from my desk. I wiped some sweat from my brow. Letterman made everyone nervous. Even Audrey. I grabbed my purse, and a box of manuscripts, and got ready to head out. But, just as I stepped out the door, my name was called.
"ROTH!" I dropped my box and hurried back in. Letterman had a disapproving look on his face, a handful of manuscripts, and a ticking watch. As I trudged over, he dropped the stack into my unprepared arms. I stumbled to the ground, and he stared down at me.
"Ms. Roth...I'm going to need you to take work home tonight." My eyes went wide. I couldn't take work home tonight, I wanted to say. Tonight is Kori's twenty second birthday dinner. The party is next Friday. Besides I have a life, I wanted to scream. But why would I yell at Letterman? I silently nodded and he left. I frowned and trudged out the door. Life…was terrible….when you're a lawyer.
So, this is my new story. If you want to understand the plot a bit more, Google 'The Undomestic Goddess'. It's an epic book! Review and Favorite. Grammar Nazis and Flamers welcome.
