AN: Sorry. This is very very silly. Even moreso than the other two if that's even possible.

Fired III (the third in the short, silly, corporate-cultured SxR series)

Her eyes just glazed over.

This morning her new supervisor waddled in like a penguin and slapped the latest annual report of their competitor onto her table.

"I want pages 3 to 60 read, and all their critical factors summarized in 500 words or less by noon." he rasped, "I will be watching you." he added with a scary gleam in his eye, hovering over poor Risa who tried not to inhale his morning breath. She didn't know what to make of this sudden onslaught of work. She was just a clerk... who entered data and did simple little things that required little brainwork. Since when did she summarize competitor annual reports? More importantly, who the heck was this weird new supervisor? Was it normal for new supervisors to pop in just like that?

Speaking of which, this guy has been staring at her non-stop for the past hour at a distant table, which was really really really scary, and Risa began to grow self conscious and fidgety. Did she have something on shirt? Was her shirt see-through? Was her bra strap in place? Questions swirled relentlessly in her confused and tired mind. She took a sip of bitter coffee, and rubbed her temples.

In addition to everything, she had one more thing to worry about. Rumours. She could hear gossip about her in every corner of the office. Sick of the constant whisperings behind her back, she had deliberately walked toward a pair of women who were clearly talking about her.

"Excuse me..." she started.

"Why hello! Ms. Harada! What a beautiful morning, I hope you do have a nice day!" they said almost in unison, their fake smiles twitching.

But anyway...who cares about those slutty, gossiping women who all stared at Satoshi all the time for inconceivable reasons.

Trying to concentrate once again, she jabbed a finger at the first word on the first line.

"Risks and Management Fa..."

"What are you doing, Harada san." Satoshi stated, magically appearing behind her. "You are supposed to be working on this," he pointed to a stack of papers that had somehow appeared on her desk. In my office, of course."

"But..."

"That's an order, as your supervisor." he said.

"Then I refuse to obey you." Risa said defiantly.

People in the room sighed in irritation. This was becoming a daily occurrence. Satoshi would randomly order Risa around and she would always fight back. Why do they even bother? They were always so godamn loud too. If they wanted to argue, they should do it outside away from people who actually wanted to get some work done.

"Would you rather be working on that ugly, boring piece of garbage, or my constructive, and useful project?" Satoshi said in absolute monotone.

Risa scowled. "I'm not going to do what you ask, and that's final. You're not my supervisor."

"Well. Suit yourself." Satoshi said, sounding a little pissed. But he backed off and retreated to his hiding quarters, where he tried to think of more creative ways to coerce Risa into his office. After all, using physical force all the time gets a bit repetitive and boring. What he needed was a challenge.

Obviously, hiring a leery man who stared at her and assigned weird boring jobs didn't work. Maybe he just had to wait it out. After all, it was still early.

At 11:45, Satoshi paid Risa another visit.

"Which will it be? My work in my office, or this random guy's random work?" Satoshi said.

Risa looked fiercely at him. "This is all a trick, isn't it? Who is this guy and what is this work? I want answers. Answers, Satoshi san!"

Meanwhile, the penguin of a man still sat there pretending he wasn't looking in her direction. The only times he got up were for coffee.

"And, he's giving me the creeps! He's been looking over here for the past two hours! I demand to be removed from his line of sight this instance!"

Satoshi smirked. "As you wish. Harada san, pack up your belongings (you can leave the annual report on the table, the caretaker will take care of it), and follow me."

Not really thinking, Risa stood up and muttered things like, "Anything to get out of here..." and followed him.

It wasn't until she was in front of an office with a gold sign that said something like, "Satoshi Hiwatari, President" that she froze, her mind frantically trying to find meaning in everything.

It didn't take much for Satoshi to shove her in and shut the door.

The mysterious penguin man was nowhere to be seen the next day...
