Alien Boss — Selina Coffey

Amy was a CPA, stuck at a CPA firm working for a man who seemed to hate everything and everyone around him. She didn't really like public accounting, and every day she went to work thinking it was time to get out of public accounting and start working for a large corporation, or at least start her own accounting office. Good accounting jobs for the larger corporations were hard to come by, and no matter how many times she applied, she rarely ever got so much as an interview. Mark was the CEO of such a large corporation, and after firing his CFO because he was too busy drinking as opposed to working, he hired Glommer and Glommer Associates to do his financial statements, payroll and tax returns. While this worked just fine, it was much more expensive than hiring a full time CFO but after the last one he was hesitant to hire anyone to be in charge of their books. Amy got the new account of Carren Enterprises and while she normally has one of her bookkeepers pick up the information, she decides it's about time she met the CEO of her largest account. Mark and Amy clash from the moment they meet, but at the same time they can't help but feel attracted to one another, and Mark offers Amy the job of CFO on the spot. With Amy in her dream job, will she be able to separate work from personal, especially when she finds out that Mark isn't exactly from this planet? Author's Note: This is a 10,000 word short story.
