The Wrong Woman

Sean stuttered, "M-Mr. Hoffis, d-did I mess up this morning? Or did you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed?"

Elio's voice resembled a blast from an ice cellar, sending chills down the spine. "Sean, why did you send me an adult film last night? Are you trying to get yourself fired?" Sean started to sweat profusely. He gulped and anxiously explained, "M-Mr. Hoffis, I sent it because you requested a romantic animated movie.

"Considering you live alone, asked for the movie late at night, and usually don't watch animations-especially romantic ones-I assumed you were hinting at something else."

Elio narrowed his eyes and said through gritted teeth, "Candice wanted to watch it. I don't know a thing about romantic animated movies, so I relied on you for a recommendation. And you've managed to botch it entirely."

Sean's eyes widened in shock, his mouth hanging open. He was so stunned that words eluded him for a long moment.

After a deep breath to quell his anger, Elio loosened his grip on Sean's collar. Stepping back, he warned, "If Candice ends up hating me or gets a bad impression because of this, you better start packing."

Startled, Sean quickly lowered his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hoffis. I'm truly sorry. I'll find a way to fix this. I'll do whatever it takes to restore your reputation."
