“THIS SOUNDS FANTASTIC, Ada.”
My personal assistant smiled weakly. “Is it?”
“Well...isn’t it?” I mean, sure, thinking there was always room for improvement was a good attitude to have in life, but we couldn’t pressure ourselves to be perfectionists, you know?
Ada squirmed on her feet. “I guess it is, but...”
“Just say it. There’s no need to—”
“I accidentally hit Send,” my PA blurted out.
“You what?”
“And our analytics show that 99% of our recipients have already read it.”
F! M! L!
And that was flip, by the way, and not the other F-word, since I had already quit cussing the way others had quit smoking. I had been doing a lot of soul searching since That Day, so yeah...
Flip. My. Life.
I looked at Ada...and reminded myself that there was always room for improvement. Plus, she already had tears welling in her eyes, so...
“It’s fine, Ada.”
She brightened. “Really?”
I glared at her. “No, of course it’s not!”
“Are you going to fire me?” Ada asked shakily.
The tears in her eyes were now rolling down her cheeks, and I just...
“Yes, I’m going to have to ask you to quit—”
Ada started wailing in earnest, in a way that would have made any banshee proud. But since she wasn’t, I was sure it meant she had learned her lesson, and so it was time to tell her the truth.
“I was joking.”
The tears immediately stopped, and Ada gaped at me. “F-For real?”
“Yes, Ada. For real.”
“That was the most awful, hurtful—”
I crossed my arms over my chest. “Would you rather I fire you for real then?”
“But I have a great sense of humor,” my PA said with a sniff, “so I forgive you for it.”
This was what I got for hiring a twenty-year-old college dropout with a heart of gold but a mind permanently lost in the clouds.
