“Our Time Is Your Money”, that was the slogan for the company Time Investors. It’s wasn’t a major investment company but it was pretty well know. At the helm of the location in Cheyenne, Wyoming was the CEO Peter Power. Peter was a 50 year old, rich, Caucasian man, who had used anyone he needed to use to get to where he is now in the company. Peter was an average man, 5ft 11 in tall, about 200 lbs, and somewhat of a muscular build for a man his age.
On this particular morning Peter Power was on a conference call with some of his subordinate managers, who had to report how they did the last quarter. Peter didn’t care about the job as much as he cared about having money and power. As he took the last sip of his glass of whiskey, he muted the phone call he was on and flipped a switch that notified his assistant that he needed something.
Within 30 seconds his assistant, Alexis Chavez, was in his office. Alexis was a very pretty woman. She stood a mere 5 ft 4 inches, was around 140lbs, divorced, and was a mother of 2 children. No one ever assumes she’s divorced because she’s still on the younger side at 26 years old.
“How may I help you Mr. Power?” Alexis asked
“Ah there you are Alexis, I need a second glass of whiskey.” Mr Power said in a somewhat demanding tone.
“I’ll be right back with your whiskey”
“Wait, before you go I must say you’re looking extremely gorgeous today, did you do something with your hair? New diet? Seems like you did something.”
“I don’t feel that’s an appropriate comment to make Mr. Power.”
“I’ll decide what’s appropriate and what’s not so hurry up and go get me that whiskey already.”
With that Alexis closed the office door and headed down to Mr Powers personal break room to get a glass of whiskey. When she got there another girl called Valerie Rodriguez was cleaning.
“God I don’t understand why he has to be such a jerk!” Exclaimed Alexis.
“Did he hit on you again?” Valerie asked without being surprised
“Yes, it’s so annoying. He doesn’t understand what it’s like to feel diminished like that. It’s not the example I want to set for my daughters.”
“Well hey between me and you I may have a solution to humble old Mr. Powers”
“How’s that?”
Valerie pulls out what appears to be a dropper with a creamy brown color to it.
“You want to drug him?!?!”
“Of course not! I went with this woman who knows how to do like witchcraft kind of stuff and I mentioned you in a conversation and she gave me these. She told me that if you put a drop in his drink and a drop in your drink that a chemical reaction would occur in your head that would help him understand you.”
“At this point I’ll try it just so I can get him off my back.”
With that Alexis poured the whiskey and out a drop of the chemical in his drink. She got herself a cup of water and put a drop and she chugged it. She then headed back to Mr. Power’s office.
“Here’s your whiskey sir.”
“Took you long enough Alexis! You may be pretty but you’re not that smart are you?”
With that Alexis set his drink down on his table and left the office.
As Peter Power took a sip of his whiskey both himself and Alexis at first felt super lightheaded. Like if they’re heads were just floating, they’re bodies felt light as could be. Then with a instantaneous crash landing feeling they came back to. Only different this time.
