The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

She did not have any other work on her hands, and as for the meeting later... Well, she could not care less about doing such menial tasks as pouring coffee for them.

I'm more than capable of doing a better job than Chase, but no, he gets to write about the interview! Is it because I'm a newcomer?' Rita found it impossible to swallow her frustration. "I must get the front page headline next month. Just wait, I'll make everyone at New Capital Times regret ever treating me like this!"
