Dinner and a Glass of Deceit
One drink too many at a Christmas party led to the worst date, and night, of Chelsea’s life.
Maura, her new boss, and her coworker Sonia were lingering at her house after an evening of tedious mingling. Hosting the office Christmas party was a pain, but it was just one small sacrifice to make in exchange for getting on the good side of her office mates, Chelsea reminded herself. She sipped on a glass of wine as she struggled to remain awake. Stay focused, she thought as she willed herself to engage. A bad impression today could leave a lasting legacy in the worst way possible.
