"Ashley must be rubbing off on me..." Adeline thought to herself, as she waddled her way to Ms. Pollock's office. Adeline never thought she would ever do this, blackmail her own boss. But after seeing how wonderful Ashley's life was, she couldn't resist. Adeline reached Ms. Pollock's door, and knocked to see if she was inside.
"Come on in!" Ms. Pollock called out from her office. "It's not locked!"
Adeline waddled into the office, and struggled to fit her wide hips into a small chair.
"Why hello Adeline!" Ms. Pollock said with a smile. "What surprise to see you here. I hope your having an excellent start to the semester."
"I'm having a good time so far." Adeline replied, still struggling to fit in the chair. "The first class was rough, but I got the girls under control."
"That's wonderful news!" Ms. Pollock exclaimed. "So what brings you here?"
"To be honest I'm here to talk about my salary." Adeline said cautiously. "I've been working here for eight years now, and I feel I have proven my worth to this school. I think I have earned a bonus."
"Adeline, it is true you have worked here for quite a while. And you have been one of our best teachers since the moment you got here." said Ms. Pollock, still flashing a smile. "But, money is tight. This is a private school after all. We just cant afford to give you a raise now. But don't worry, just be patient."
"Alright then, fine." Adeline said, a sly grin forming. "While I'm waiting for my raise. I guess I can spend my time talking to immigration about that Russian maid of yours. Her name is Tasha, right?"
"Wait, what?" Ms. Pollock said, her grin quickly fading.
"That's right, I know Tasha is an illegal immigrant. But don't worry, I have other way's of passing time. Maybe I could talk to the papers about the Buttercombe WASPS, and how they haze incoming freshman. I'm sure the press would just love to hear that story. Or maybe-"
"Okay...okay, fine. I get your point." Ms. Pollock sighed, recognizing the seriousness of the situation. "What do you want Adeline? Just name it, and it's yours."
"Excellent, glad to see we are on the same page." said Adeline, grinning like a fox. "First of all, I want a raise. Second of all, I want my cabin to be upgraded with the best amenities. And third of all, I want a permanent get-out-of-jail-free card."
"Fine." Ms. Pollock sighed. "Just don't spread any secrets. Is there anything else you want?"
"Yes... could you help me out of this chair?"
