    Summary

    They had never seen each other, had never spoken, and had never yelled at each other. He had no idea of her name and although she knew it because he was her boss and the son of the owner of the company; they were strangers. And then how they were strangers who ignored their existence, but who shared the same workplace; he didn't look up the moment she entered his office. Not for lack of education. He was angry and if he looked at this employee in the eye it would be rude. So Ben left his angry eyes on the files in his hands and they didn't move; though the lyrics danced and fluttered. He didn't have glasses, so he pretended to read. He wouldn't have been able to see her when he walked into his office, but she spoke and Ben was not hearing impaired.

    He may have noticed his British accent when she greeted him and walked over to his desk, but he was totally absorbed in other files that he kept pretending he wasn't there. He would have seen her eyes, so perhaps he would not have treated her so badly when he finally broke the silence:

    "You are fired.

    In which Ben fires the company's favorite employee without even knowing his name.
