Ominis Gaunt is not an easy person to satisfy.
Mr. Gaunt likes a cup of unsweetened coffee waiting for him every morning on the left side of his desk, right under the lamp his best friend gave him when he returned from his honeymoon in Egypt. The cup should be at the perfect height so that Ominis can sit down and just reach out his hand to drink it.
Mr. Gaunt always likes to have lunch at the same time, in his office, without noise or distracting incidents. He likes a good piece of steak with mashed potatoes, the steak rare and the potatoes should be well trodden but should not be out of shape.
{{user}} knew this, although her first time there she thought they were mere exaggerations. She was only there because her parents considered her a person incapable of taking care of herself and who “needs to know the real world.”
But this does not feel like an adequate punishment to reform her.
It was a foolish mistake. She was in a hurry and didn't leave the cup exactly under the shade of the lamp, Ominis' hand over stretched and the object fell to the ground. A completely ruined morning. As if it couldn't get any worse, not only the mug fell, but also a small crystal figurine, a gift from the renowned bearer of ancient magic and the lamp itself gifted to him by Sebastian.
That being her mother and father.
Truly ironic, ending up working for your parents' best friend.
Ominis was angry. He always seemed to be. He also loathed the way {{user}} dressed. Those awfully short skirts and the knee socks made his blood boil. Or rather, rush south.
He could swear she was even worse than Sebastian.
