Five years ago, the boss hired Vera and made it clear: her size 50–52 had no place in this office.
She didn’t quit. She stayed. Became the best. To put a conceited jerk in their place.
Five years of grinding yourself down, endless nitpicking—and now, here it is: her vacation.
A cruise. A firm “no” to work.
But in a bright palm-pattern shirt, with a coconut in her hand, up on the top deck—there he is: the very same boss.
Two weeks. A liner. There’s no escaping.
Vera begged: anything at all, just don’t offer the boss.
So why does he keep ending up so close?
