I was doing some work at a client’s place this afternoon, so they parked me in a room.

It was nice of them because only the big bosses had their own office rooms like that - everyone else there had to be in a cubicle. In fact, the room I was in was adjacent to the office of one of the bosses.

It was just a matter of time when I heard a voice from the next room, given the lack of sound insulation. I could hear practically every word the person in the next room was saying.

Which was a little worrying, because just a few minutes before I heard the voice, I let out a rather loud groan when I realised some mistake I had made. Thankfully I didn’t utter anything comprehensible.

But I soon forgot about my groan when I heard the voice.

It was a female voice. She was speaking on the phone, sounding rather sweet, or even cute.

Then I thought - there’s no way she’s a sweet cutesy young thing, since she’s a boss.

Okay maybe she’s a hot old thing, like Angelina Jolie.

I eventually ventured out of my room to take a peek.

I never knew old hags could sound so sweet.
