The New Supervisor

He stepped out of the elevator and was stopped by a flurry of expletives coming from the secretary’s desk in front of him. He arched an eyebrow as he watched papers being thrown in the air, while he could not see the person responsible for all the commotion.

“Hello?”

“Come back later!” A woman’s voice growled back.

“Are you alright?”

Finally, a head whipped into view barely above the desk, “Did you not hear me? Go away! I am busy trying to avert a catastrophe before the new supervisor arrives this afternoon!”

He contained a smile as he took in the wild red hair, freckled face & blazing blue eyes that glared at him. “Well, I’ve got some time to kill. Would you like help?”

She threw up her hands in frustration. “I’m looking for the schedule of appointments for the next six months. I left them right here & I come in this morning and they’re gone! Poof! Vanished!”

He grinned and pulled out a neat stack of papers from his briefcase, “You mean these?”

Her eyes widened in panic, “You’re the new supervisor?”
