Debbie is shocked when her new boss, Baxter, orders her to start wearing a mini skirt to work. Determined to ensure her future at the company, Debbie sets out to gather evidence against Baxter and bring him down.
The hum of the office fluorescent lights buzzed like angry hornets as Debbie wrestled with the temperamental copy machine. She jammed another stack of invoices into the tray, wincing at the paper jam warning.
“Well, what have we here, a new girl?”
Debbie spun around and came face to face with the head of her department, Mr.
Baxter. She smiled as she introduced herself, but a chill passed down her spine when he ignored her outstretched hand and leered at her.
“You need a makeover if you want to keep working here. You’re dressed like an old lady.”
“Excuse me?” Debbie asked.
“This isn’t some charity bazaar. In this office, we like our women to look polished.”
“I’m here to do a job, Mr. Baxter.” She held out the crumpled bills in her fist.
Baxter frowned and leaned in close. “Are you telling me you don’t care about this company’s image? Is that how you plan to succeed here, by being sassy to your boss?”
“No, sir, but…”
Baxter’s eyes narrowed.
“If you aren’t willing to adhere to my rules, then you don’t belong here. You’ll never get anywhere if you don’t take advantage of your…feminine assets.”
“I’ll tell you what, new girl. Sort out your look, show me that you want to be here, and I’ll personally mentor you.
And if you aren’t willing to adapt, I’ll expect to see your resignation letter on my desk.”
Baxter patted her shoulder and left Debbie wondering what she’d gotten herself into. She was here to work and to be respected for her abilities, not her appearance.
In the past, she’d always refused to play dress-up to satisfy some jerk boss’s urges to eyeball her, but resigning wasn’t an option this time.
Debbie returned to her task, her mind already planning the next steps.
