“Man! Shelter this gentle green-eyed kitten in this dreary weather!”
The stranger blinked. He looked me over from head to toe.
“—You’re original. This is the first time anyone has come on to me like this. And what happened to the gentle green-eyed kitten?”
“—In complete loneliness, she fought hunger and people’s indifference. In your safe, strong hands, the green-eyed kitty will find her happiness.”
“And what do you get in return?”
“—O-o-o! The kitten won’t stay in your debt. She’ll purr in your ear and lick you from head to toe.”
Remembering how the kitty snuggled up and got food from a little packet, she continued.
“—Don’t worry! She’s affectionate and grateful—you’ll like her!”
The stranger nodded, satisfied.
“—Come on. Show me your kitty from her best side.”

I just wanted to place a kitten somewhere! But the attractive stranger misunderstood me. I kicked him between the legs and ran out of the apartment, hoping we’d never meet again.
Now he’s my boss and he’s offering me a deal: a relationship with him—or getting fired! What am I supposed to do now?
