He’s definitely the worst boss ever.The only reason I’m still his secretary is because I have debt up to my eyeballs; thanks to student loans and an ex that conned me into letting him use my credit cards. I’m counting down the days until I can quit and tell him to get his own coffee and lobster rolls. My calendar says that between both my jobs, I only need to work for him for three more months.You see, Mr. Mccalister has no idea that I, his “mousey little secretary” has a night job just so I can quit as soon as possible.That is until I end up at a bachelor party for his brother.
