The boss's wife, Marisa, comes in when the boss, Peter, is out of town doing deals, etc. I've gotten used to seeing her come in and hear the gossip mill, that she is in, fucking that fellow or/and that one. These men are apparently hand picked to please her and provide her with some diversion when she is in the office. I've been a loyal employee for five years so I just try to stay out of the way and keep quiet.

Then, on her last office visit I had run out of printing ink and went to the supply room, I walked in on our young office helper, Tim, really slamming it to Marisa. They both saw me but kept going and I ducked out quickly. After five years of loyalty, the next morning there was a pink slip on my desk. I was fired.
