I present a case of two unruly assistants

There is a reason we can’t have an HR person in my company – aka me and my two lovely assistants

Leah aka the manager of Hellfire

and Tara aka Madame Hellraiser in the pictures below respectively

We trash talk constantly at our weekly meeting and today’s edition might get someone fired.

Leah: Omg Bridgerton is —

Tara and Me screaming and waving our hands at the camera telling her to STFU

Leah: What is wrong with you guys, it’s only 4 hours long? You should be done by now.

Me: Fuck that. I’m waiting until June when the second part drops. I am NOT going to give myself blue tubes by watching it so soon and having it cut off

Leah: nooooo, but you have to watch it now. Because those last four minutes of that last episode. I gasped! And the scream that I scrumped fan self

(no that’s not a typo and you if you say it outloud you’ll realize how adorable her past tense of scream is)

Me: no! I’m going to prove peer pressure doesn’t work on me

Leah: It’s not peer pressure. It’s. Just. Your. Turn.

EXSQUEEEEZE ME?

I clutched my pearls.

Me: Tara are you going to let her talk to me like that?

Tara: Yes

Me gobsmacked because I thought we were on the same page but sweet Tara is only holding out until school and dance season is over to watch aka a matter of days

Tara: You need to know how it feels when someone leaves you on the edge like you have done to me with your books. You need to know the emotional trauma—

Me: —whoa whoa whoa, don’t you turn this shit on me

Leah continues to insist I need to at least part 1 a week before part 2 drops so I can be left hanging on that ledge.

What a coupla sadists.

Guess what ladies?

I forgot to say…

Respectfully….get wrecked.

But also?

Now I have intrusive thoughts telling me to experience the exquisite pain of starting it without the end being available for a while yet.

Damn you both.

I especially may have to break the seal since Igniting Cinder has these vibes shoved in a modern universe on account of Cinder visiting a fairy realm of only night where the Vampires throw balls and live in cold castles. Oh and something something fake engagement…

Okay so no one is getting fired this time. But I feel this newsletter that publicly reveals them abusing and bullying me is a sufficient comeuppance.

HaHA! Take that!

But seriously, if you didn’t know I have the best FREAKING assistants who help keep the books flowing– you know now.

And I shall keep putting it on blast until everyone knows.

Hellfire Team is the D R E A M T E A M baby!!!
