Episode 19

OLIVIA:

“I can’t believe him!’’ I threw my purse on the sofa, as I slumped behind my desk, feeling angry and frustrated.

“Mrs Grunt, Please…’’

“Mrs Olivia,’’ I corrected him with a stern look, “My husband’s name doesn’t need to come in everytime someone addresses me.’’

Marco placed some papers on my desk. “And what’s this, Marco?’’

“It’s Marcus.’’ He corrected shyly.

“That’s cute, but you look more like a marco, you know, like Marco Polo or Peter Pan.” I laughed slightly, while he smiled nervously. I had never had an assistant before, I wasn't handling this the way I was supposed to. “Did my husband pick the pink flowers?” I asked and to which he nodded. Galen knew how much I hated pink flowers. He did this to personally irritate me.

“What about the overall arrangement and decor of this office? This is far different from what I sent in.”

“I'm sorry, Mrs Grunt.. Sorry, I mean, Mrs Olivia. But Mr Grunt sent in a new arrangement plan last night and requested we ignore the first one.’
