Chapter One – First Day on the Job

The seltzer water wasn’t helping Linda’s nerves at all. Her stomach was still rolling from her morning sickness that day and the thought of going to her first day of work wasn’t helping at all. She swallowed as she surveyed her appearance in the mirror. Even though she was the picture of professionalism according to just about every article written in the last five years on the subject, she was feeling incredibly underprepared.

Her boss, Samson Rockwell, was the head of a large marketing company and he had a reputation for ruling with an iron fist. Whether or not that was true, she had no idea, but she would have to find out soon enough.

Jane met her in the lobby again. Good morning, she said. How are you?

Very well. And you?

Great. Nervous?

Incredibly.

Jane laughed, which sounded like tiny bells to Linda. "It’s normal to be nervous on the first day, but I know you’ll be fine once you get into the swing of things. There are a couple of things I want to tell you before we get
