Sarah Galaxy could tell that today would be hell. From the moment she had woken up late, found her clothes ripped to shreds by her Tibetan Mastiff, Zeus, and then when she was halfway through breakfast and remembered she was going in today to find out who her new boss was.

She liked her current boss, Colin Gen. He was smart, funny, tall, polite and charming. He wasn't a pervert and he wasn't handsome so she couldn't form any sort of romantic attachment to him. Colin was the perfect boss but she had a feeling her new boss may not be so amazing. If he/she was then she'd be so fucking lucky. Sarah was getting a new boss because Colin was taking another job higher up in the company.

Zeus noisily barked around the cramped, dull apartment. He was creating a big fuss today and Sarah knew that the chances of her coming back and not having a single thing shredded or covered in pee wasn't very large. So she grabbed his collar and slide it over his furry, puppy neck. She rushed out to her old banger of a car and spent 5 minutes trying to get it to start.

"For fuck sake!" She shouted at her beaten up banger of a car. This would make her late as hell. "Like I'm not already late enough..." She murmured under her breath.

The only day Sarah really had to be in on time was the day she was late. She was supposed to be in at 11:00 am sharp, and she arrived at 11:30 am. She began to curse as she parked her car in the FOX company car park, only just missing her friend's car by inches. She grabbed Zeus and sprinted from the back of the car park to the swirling entrance doors. They rushed into the building and made their way to the top floor – her work station. Obviously it had to take 10 minutes to get to the very top of the tall building.

She burst through the double doors to see Colin staring at his watch and closing his mouth. His fuzzy, warm green eyes flickered towards Sarah's face and then down to her panting puppy. Zeus's tongue lolled out of his head and he had his head tilted to one side. He looked dumb.

"Well you are a bit late today Sarah!" He gave her no time to explain and just carried on. "I have a meeting to be in but I must remind you that your mutt cannot be in this building... Also your new boss is anxious to meet you and cannot wait for you much longer. He is even busier than I am."

Colin smiled gently at her. The creases on his 60-year-old face lightening up as he stared at her sweat dripping face. He couldn't be mad at her for long, he had always had a soft spot for her but she never took advantage of that. That's why he liked her.

"Sorry I am so late sir. Everything went wrong this morning. By the way my dogs name is Zeus... sir. May I ask where my new boss is? I'd like to start work straight away." Sarah's voice was slightly cracking as she took a tighter hold on her 4 month old puppies leash.

Colin pointed to a leather chair that was facing a large flat screen TV. He then patted her on the shoulder as he walked out. Her mind was beginning to wonder to last nights episode of Family Guy and she had to remind herself where she was and that she couldn't just start laughing.

Sarah took a deep breath, ran her long fingers through her equally long blonde hair and opened her mouth to speak but stopped suddenly. Her mouth was left open as she heard her new boss speak. Her pool blue eyes widened.

"Well, Zeus is a strange name for a dog!" Brian the dog was speaking to her as the fine leather chair span around to show the new owner of it.
