It wasn't anything I expected, or even that I had ever considered possible. But I just went with it, opening my mouth to let in his tongue
That's when he bent down and kissed me.
I still hadn't recovered my voice, so I just looked up at John, not sure what to do or say.
"Like I said, you need some discipline, Ray." He got up from his chair and came around the desk. "If you'd prefer, I can let you go."
I just looked at him in stunned surprise. Surely he wasn't serious.
John stood up. "So go ahead and bend over the desk." Wait. What?
That's a relief. I'm going to skate by again.
"So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to give you one last chance. I'm not going to fire you, but you do need some discipline."
Oh, this is just lovely. Is he actually going to fire me this time?
"I have a boss too, you know."
"We both know you could do this job sleepwalking, but these days you don't even do that. It keeps getting harder to make excuses for you.
"I'm disappointed in you, Ray. You just don't seem to be putting any effort into things. It's like you don't care at all anymore.
I took a seat across the desk from John. I tried to read his face to figure out what was coming, but I just couldn't tell.
We walked back to John's office. Would I be reprimanded? Fired?
"Ray, could I see you in my office for a few minutes?" Here we go.
Great. I can't even sort it all out now for everyone. Waves of resentment would be flooding my way from everyone.
"We have it sorted out for now, I think. But it took a lot of scrambling from the whole team."
Shit. I'm screwed. "What did you need to know?"
"Well, it's been kind of a scramble this morning. A bunch of questions came up on the EarthWare contract, and no one had all the answers.
