Autumn went behind the partition to the sink. Drinking is the boss’s responsibility, but cleaning up is mine.
To erase the traces of the drinking party, it seems like a thorough office cleaning is needed. Of course, before that, I need to open the door wide and ventilate. To do that, I have to wake up the boss.
Oh, I almost forgot something important. Something that must be done before waking up the boss. Autumn stealthily approached the boss.
At first glance, it seems like the boss is deeply asleep. Nevertheless, just to make sure, Autumn shook the boss’s hand right in front of his eyes. The boss showed no signs of movement.
Autumn quietly stepped back and placed a chair under the wall clock. It’s now 9:17. Since the office hours start at 9, it seemed like setting the clock 2 minutes earlier would be sufficient.
After doing that, wake up the boss. Make up an excuse about cleaning and send the boss out. Then, set the clock back to the original time. That was Autumn’s plan. It should work like a charm.
Autumn, perched on the chair, raised the clock to adjust the minute hand. Then, to make sure the boss hadn’t woken up, she turned her head.
Then, her eyes met with the boss’s. The boss, in the same sprawled-out position, was watching her. Yikes. Autumn held her breath.
“What are you doing?”
The boss asked in a groggy voice. When did the boss wake up, anyway? The boss is a colorless fellow. At times like this, it would be nice if he pretended not to see even if he did.
“What am I doing? Haha, hahaha.”
Autumn laughed and then spoke.
“The clock seems off, so I’m trying to set it right.”
“Really?”
The boss said nonchalantly and sat up. Then, he checked the time on his phone and glanced at the wall clock.
“The time is ridiculously off. It was working fine until yesterday.”
The boss’s tone was meaningful.
“Is that so? Is it defective? Haha, hahaha.”
Blaming the faulty clock, Autumn forced a hollow laugh. It’s bound not to match. While the boss’s attention was on the phone, I had turned the minute hand.
It didn’t matter; Autumn quickly realized she had only dug her own grave. Since the boss’s attention was on the clock.
“Hmm, it’s 9:18 now.”
The boss emphasized the 18 strangely forcefully. Autumn flinched. This means he exceeded the arrival time by more than 18 minutes.
However, Autumn isn’t one to be cowed by such a level. She quickly regained her composure, pretending she didn’t know anything and adjusted the clock to the time the boss called out.
“Boss, today…”
“Yeah, you’re late again.”
Autumn’s attempt to subtly divert the boss’s attention failed. Now it’s time for ‘Protect your quitting time like your life.’ Autumn rolled her eyes.
“Protect your quitting time like your life.”
Next is, ‘Do you know how much 20 minutes is worth in money?’ and then it continues with ‘You, who only receives a fixed salary without doing anything, can’t even keep one arrival time, right?’ The boss’s repertoire is always the same.
“Do you know how much 20 minutes is worth in money? You, who only receive a fixed salary without doing much, can’t even keep one arrival time. Does that make sense?”
Autumn quickly nodded. So many words she wanted to say were swirling in her mind. Please, just one lecture, boss.
“It doesn’t make sense, absolutely.”
Words different from what was in her head came out of her mouth. Even if it didn’t make sense, there was nothing she could do. Autumn had to protect her quitting time like her life.
After work, she has to earn money through private tutoring. That’s why there’s a reason for not being able to keep arrival time. There are days when she has classes until late at night. There are also days when she has to make up from dawn. Autumn doesn’t intentionally arrive late, regardless of the reason.
“But it’s not like I’m just receiving a fixed salary without doing anything. I manage all three convenience stores. I have to fill in whenever a part-timer is missing. There are also miscellaneous tasks assigned by the boss. That’s also the job of one secretary.”
“Humph.”
The boss snorted. The flow of whether the boss’s criticism, reproach, scolding, or nagging momentarily stopped.
During that gap, Autumn thought of a way to make up for her position. So she quickly went to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of hangover remedy, and presented it to the boss. It’s a hangover remedy prepared for the boss who frequently becomes a mess.
“How much is this one?”
The boss asked with a displeased face. Is one bottle of hangover remedy enough to make up for being late?
“Of course, it’s free. Should I charge you for the hangover remedy, boss?”
“Yeah. You’ve been doing that so far. Got memory loss?”
The boss’s blunt reply came. A meticulous guy. He hasn’t forgotten that.
“Haha, boss, you have a great memory.”
Autumn, who has committed a crime and something to request, can’t afford to provoke the boss.
