Smart, capable, easily manipulated
My boss is, really, great. I never tell her that though, otherwise my job wouldn't be anywhere near as fun. She's gorgeous really as well, very young for her position and runs the place brilliantly.

But honestly? I have her wrapped round my little finger. I'm bloody good at my job, basically, and that makes me rather indispensible. I can get away with almost anything. I can come into work pretty much any time I want, treat idiotic customers just like they deserve to be treated, hire and fire staff and almost anything else you could think of. I once got a plasma TV installed in my office after threatening to go on strike if I didn't get it.

As for our personal relationship, I pretty much constantly berate and belittle her. She does her best to give as good as she gets, but she's more insecure than I am, so I usually have the upper hand - although she has managed to make me question myself a couple of times. It leads to some pretty serious sexual tension, which I play up occasionally, just to rip the rug out from under her when I can. We had a bit of a fling a few years ago, which wasn't a good idea really, but it leads to endless ammunition.

I don't know if we'll ever really get it on, and I don't know if I'll ever stop being such a complete bastard to her. But I do know that my job is awesome and it probably wouldn't be as good without her. But like I said, I'd never tell her that.
