Subject: Screw You
Mr Sazuki,
Since we’re talkingabout first impressions, the one you left the night of the gala was also less than impressive. I found you rude and condescending. After a second meeting, that opinion hasn’t changed.
I rub my eyes,certain that I am reading wrong.
I sent a polite and professional email. Why would Miss Williams respond so rudely?
I shove the phone face-down into the bed.
After a few deep, intentional breaths, I lift it again, prodded by a mixture of curiosity and annoyance.
I’moh-so-grateful that my ‘lackluster background’ and ‘incomplete musical degree’ managed to squeak past your sky-high expectations for an employee. What a benevolent boss you are.
Please note that no amount of money you could ever shove at me would make me accept a job at your foundation. I wouldn’t work with you for a million dollars.
I let out an aggravated huff.The job market in the US is extremely competitive. To be offered such an impressive salary when she has not even completed her degree is unheard of.
There is more to the email.
I struggle to compose myself before finishing it.
Lastly,I do not plan to ever keep my opinions to myself. Just because I don’t agree with everything that comes out of your mouth does not mean that my opinions are invalid.
Your fear of hearing dissenting opinions is a mark of questionable character. I trust that you will reflect on yourself and what kind of employer you’re being to the people who have no choice but to suffer at your company.
Lastly, thank you for trusting me to do the ‘smart thing’ , which I’ve decided is to stay the hell away from you.
Regards,
Dejonae Williams
Director of Kiss My Black Behind
I re-read her last line.
Such insolence.
Such disrespect.
I have never in my life been spoken to that way, not in person and certainly not through an email.
Does she know who I am?
I bounce off the bed and pace my room.
Dejonae Williams is pure, unbridled defiance. But I have been able to tame far worse than she.
Grabbing my phone, I call Akira.
She answers on the first ring. “Ryotaro.”
“Miss Williams requires more convincing.” I look coldly through my bedroom window. “I would like to show her that no woman says no to me.”
