I straightened my tie as I laid back in my latge leather office chair as I looked out the massive panes of glass behind my desk.
To think that this little company started as tiny accounting office, started by a snot noses brat that didn't know a lick of business make this feeling of greatness exemplify.
A soft knock agaisnt the dark oak of my giant doors arrived behind me.
"S-Sir, the i-investors are h-here" a stuttering mess of a prepubesent voice said after the knock.
It was Jerry or maybe Harry? I could never remember.
Slowly I get off of chair, wiped away any potential dust off my clothes.
Finally I wave a hand through my dark black hair before I sigh and walk through the door.
There was muttering as I opened my door, but they all stopped as I walked through, they all knew I had the utimate power over them, and they feared me.
That might make me sound like an awful boss, but a company is a machine and one loss clog can tumble it all.
But on the other had, I have to make sure my cogs are well maintained and many news articles will flash and discuss how even the smallest of my cogs will earn double or even triple minimum wage with a vacation week every six months, and plenty of sick days.
My investors will scream and whine that I am ruining the business by paying so much, but cogs must be maintained and you can't do that with shoddy or even broken tools.
Even Berry or was it Perry? Earns a nice fifity dollars an hour for being an intren...though he does also let me know what everyone think, and wants he is a mole to know my cogs aren't attempting to break themselves or if they need special maintenance.
So yes it could be well said my cogs fear me, but not because I am cruel but because I care, if I fired a person that person would never be able to find a job that pays so well, and cares so well.
Clearing my throat I look upon all my cogs working.
"Attention everyone, I apologize to you all, but I must say this, today we currently have the highest stock price out of all other companies or organizations, nearly double the second place, we have nearly quadruple the networth of the second place, and we have many subsidiaries and sister companies, all of this couldn't have done with out you," I say with a forced smile...when was the last time I smiled naturally? Probably...before mom passed...
Shaking my head I clear myself from those thoughts as I listen to the claps of my cogs.
With that being my background music I start to walk away, but suddenly;
"What the fuck!" I shout as I felt something sharp poke at my ass.
Quickly I turn around thinking that maybe Arry or maybe Carry? Did something only to find him a distance away.
Hmph must of been nothing...though a strange sensation almost as if my ass was alseep rippled through my body.
I shook my head walked into the investor room, where a room full of old craggy men sat around judging my perfect machine while they had no practical mechanical experience but instead plenty of theoretical trying to "fix" my "inefficient" machine.
"Ah, Rich, nice to see you," one of the men stood up and gave me his hand, I could never remember there names.
With a fake smile I shake his hand before sitting down.
"Everything is going up, we are expected to make unprecedented amount gross income," one of the other men said looking at a graph.
"Indeed, I can foresee, a doubling in our Air Travel business with the newest president being a first generation child of Polish immigrant," I state as I look towards the T.V where it was showing the President's speech from yesterday, his voice having a thick slavic accent.
"Hm agreed, that's very good and but what about your expenses, we could see a doubling or even a tripling of all of your-"
"How many times, must I tell you, I will not the cutting wages," I state simply as suddenly my entire body started to feel hot...and where they looking taller? No must be mind.
"Hmph it's a useless expense! Why not cut it a little bit or lay off some people! It seems entirely useless to pay your- like-um..."
Before my eyes the old man suddenly lost all of his wrinkles his gray and balding hair flowed blonde like a waterfall.
"What the frick!" I yelled...but it wasn't my voice...and frick? I wanted to say something else.
Quick looking down my tailor-made suit seemed to be a river I was drowning in.
I could feel my legs crawling upwards until they stopped just barely off the office chair.
Suddenly blackhair covered my vision making it near impossible to see.
"Nyah! What the frick!" I shouted out my eyes widden terror flowing through me as I could feel my body changing.
I quickly tried to jump off the now massive chair.
My pants quickly fell off my hip falling to the ground soundlessly.
I started to run away, my top dragging across the ground.
As I ran I could hear the screams of panic of all my cogs.
It was a terrifying thing...and it also sounded incredibly loud.
It wasn't much longer before I found myself in my office.
I could feel a red blush plaster over my face a I realized I had to stand on my tippy toes to reach the door knob.
After a bit of trail and error I was able to open the door.
Running inside I quickly close it before running over to on of the nearby conners, where a while back I put in a closet incase on of those cogs spilt something on me.
Once more it took a few attemps...and a few hops but I finally opened it.
There standing infront of me was a girl, she couldn't be older 8, she had long flowing black hair that dragged behind her, her eyes were wide and expensive, and standing utop her head was a pair of black cat ears and with those cat ears you could also spot a tai whishing behind her.
The little cat girl wore a black business top which looked like a dress on her small frame, like a child putting on her fathers clothes.
