Salem has always been a loner. She doesn't care about anyone but herself and her family...she doesn't want to care. Shes what you could call a cynic of sorts when it comes to romantic relationships but she finds dating fun. She's the Co-Ceo of a pop...
Well it's Monday, quite literally the worst day of the week. I say this because I have to work with men who think they're smarter than me and they also think I fucked my boss to get the position i'm in.
But in all actuality they're just immature dumbasses who barely know how to code. And they also don't know that me and Damien built this company together. I had the option to become the CEO but I'd rather not be in the spotlight. Basically no one outside of the company knows who the COO is and i'd like to keep it that way. Also no one in the company knows that Damien and I started the company together. They just think that Damien hired me for shits and giggles. I'm honestly fine with it because I get to avoid the press most of the time, and when I do have to talk to the press I end up doing it through Damien.
I end up getting ready and wearing something pretty casual. Thanks to Damien the workplace is very casual and most times it just feels like i'm hanging out in a cool ass studio apartment with my own personal office.
I finally get out of bed and take a shower, wash my face, brush my teeth and get dressed. I make my daily cup of tea and head out to work.

I decided to walk today because it's been pretty nice outside, and my job is just a couple of blocks away. I turn on my music which mostly consists of Lauryn Hill and Floetry.
I'm glad i walked today, the city is vibrant and there's a lot of people talking, walking, and laughing.Which makes my mood a bit better.
As I enter my building and say good morning to everyone important my Damien calls me in to his office. This is strange because he usually gives me a chance to look over my work and then ask him questions about everything.
I walk to the elevator, and as soon as the door opens I see one of the coworkers that I hate the most. I get in and as soon as the door closes he immediately has something to say. "Well well well it looks like you're going to your boyfriends office to give yourself up just to keep the position you so desperately wanted."
I look over at him and roll my eyes.
"you know what Mr. Brown, I've had enough you are a disgusting self absorbed pig who can't get over the fact that me a black woman has achieved more than you ever will, what nobody knows is that I built this company with Damien and i choose to stay in the shadows. I have let you walk over me but i refuse to continue to do so, and if you so desperately want my position as COO you can go work somewhere else. I will not hesitate to fire you, and you know i have the power to do so. Oh and I saw your girlfriend the other night when I was out clubbing. She was with a man that looked nothing like you, maybe you should go check that out."
He looks at me like a fish out of water unable to say anything. I give him and tight lipped smile and as the door opens I throw in a quick. "Have a good day."
