Get ready to file that sexual harrassment suit, Buffy. There's no way he's allowed to make those kind of references to a subordinate.
Damn Liam....another man thinking with his dick instead of being fair to hard work.
Interesting, that Spike's younger than Buffy......thinking of a song lyric: "I'm smart, slick, lean and mean. No one can out bullshit me."
Author's Response: Indeed. As much as I loathe the issue of actual cases of RL workplace sexual harrasment, hopefully I won't offend anybody with the way I address it once the chapter comes up. It's just a comedy, not to be taken too seriously even though it has that unfortunate issue in it. As for Liam... just wait and see, that's all I can say without giving anything away, *winks*... it'll become apparent later on. LMAO - love the song lyric reference you have here. Ya know, there isn't a really huge age gap here and I thought why not for once have him be younger than her, so, that's the way I wrote it.... let him learn a thing or two from a mature woman. Glad you enjoyed darling and thanks so very much for the review. Smooches.

Yup, this is me, had an indescribable urge to get off the bed at 4:30 am, honestly don't know why I checked RL, since one eye is still shut, but I'm glad I did! (couldn't bother signing in though :P)
Chuckled throughout this! Poor Buffy, being the victim of sexism, glass ceiling... cuz that's what this is, right? *widens eyes innocently*
I love you honey, and you have created another gem...oh, and 'a booster seat' for Snyder? Priceless!!! *giggles*
*hugs you tight*
PS. I really did nothing! Just proposed a phrase or two simply for upping the word count! If anything I should be thanking you for giving me a sneak preview :P Luv ya!
Author's Response: LMAO - you just amaze me boo, you really do. Yeah, Buffy's getting the unforunate treatment of some ugly RL things out there, but this is a comedy and hopefully everybody can move past that to enjoy ML for the comedy its meant to be. I love you boo and everyone adores your salami comment - thank you soooooooooooooooo much. Hee hee, can't you just see Snyder in a booster seat - maybe a binky and blankie too, LOL.

Oh My God. If I were Buffy I don't know if I could stop myself from quitting. To put in that much time and effort to be given a "promotion" to being a bloody assistant? Oh and I totally hope Buffy puts him in his place for his "beneath me" comment. I just love Buffy's sharp tongue and can't wait for her to cut Spike down again... It's just so funny. :) Awesome chappy, sweetie, and eagerly awaiting the next one!
Author's Response: Tell me about it. If this were RL, I'd have committed murder by now. As for Buffy putting him in his place... giggles... you KNOW she will. She has spirit in this for sure and the sharp tongue you're hoping for, *winks*. Loved your review darling and hope you like ch 3 once its up - hugs you tight.

Three....Two....One....BOOM!!!!! I see the fireworks already! This is rich!!!! I'm totally lovin' it already! Great chappie m'dear, can't wait for the next!!! Hugs~n~Kisses
Author's Response: LMAO, indeed an explosion, but take cover, cuz next chapter is worse... runs and hides as the fuse is lit, heheheheheheh. Thanks for the review darling - hugs and kisses right back at ya.

Date: 02/01/2008 - 07:40 pm Title: Beneath Me
Oh, yea....saw it coming, but it was way better than what I imagined! Great update! Looking forward to the next one.
Author's Response: Oh good. I know some things are predictable, but I'm glad that I at least made it fun for you - thank you so much for the reivew sweets... hugs and kisses.

"He purposefully kept his eyes trained on hers and planted a lingering kiss to the top of her hand, rubbing two fingers to the inside of her palm which was hidden from Snyder’s view."
Okay, I know it's just a simple sentence. But that was so hot. I think I need a change of underwear. ;-)
"Glancing at the manual paper trimmer with its giant cutting blade, she swore if he looked at her one more time like he wanted to play hide the salami, she’d slice it for him so thin it’d fit through a piggy-bank slit!"
OMG! Bwahahahahahahahaha! So. Freaking. FUNNY!
I swear, you are the best at mixing steaminess and humor in a fic. I can't wait for the next update - you rock!
Author's Response: YAY - glad you found it hot - I'm a sucker for this kind of Spike, so God can just strike me dead now and get it over with, LOL. Ooooooh, that salami line, that was my friend Sotia's idea and it was soooooo Buffy I had to use it - glad you laughed at it, hee hee. And of course enjoyed the chapter as a whole. I tried to email you back but it came back with a mailer demon notice so it didn't go thru, damnit. SO please don't think I ignored your email, but it got kicked back twice on me. Thank you so much for the email and the review darling - it really made my day. Hugs you tight.

How sad, although it has never personally happened to me. Too often women are passed over in the workplace due to the lack of a penis. Great teaser, let the games begin! I will watch for more. Kelly
Author's Response: I absolutely agree, it is sad and it does happen, ughh. But I'm glad to see you're looking forward to more and liked ch 2. Thank you sweety for the review - kisses.

Date: 02/01/2008 - 06:52 pm Title: Beneath Me
great chapter. can't wait to read more
Author's Response: Thanks sweety, I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. Smoochies.

Date: 02/01/2008 - 06:47 pm Title: Beneath Me
Buffy.. almost 30.. Spike 23... play on words.. Beneath me.
Leave it to the Men running the business to give her more responsibility and no more money..
Enjoying...
Author's Response: Giggles, well, why not make him a bit younger - he could stand to learn a thing or two from being around an older woman - and hey, the gap isn't huge. Yup, corporate life and men - sometimes the sterotype is true unfortune as it may be. Thanks for the review darling - huggles.

Date: 02/01/2008 - 06:27 pm Title: Beneath Me
Oh god, I was laughing so hard at the "hide the salami" scenario! Keep up the great work!
Author's Response: Hee hee, that was a suggestion from my friend Sotia - I couldn't pass up using it. THanks for the review darling, glad you liked the chappy. Hugs.
Date: 02/01/2008 - 06:26 pm Title: Beneath Me

Author's Response: Thank you sweety - I'm glad you enjoyed it. Kisses.

Date: 02/01/2008 - 06:24 pm Title: Beneath Me
I so loved this chapter, darling! Espeically when they came face to face again. I feel slightly bad for Buffy, one can only imagine what those expectations of Spike entail. *weg* Loving the characterizations, the details, the humor but above all I love you, magnificently done!
Author's Response: Thank you so much darling, I love you too. I do feel Bad putting Buffy in this position, but hey..... evil here, LOL. The tension in that office is just palpable, isn't it? Mwahahahhahahhaha!!!

Date: 02/01/2008 - 04:01 am Title: First Impressions are Everything
lol that was great! can't wait for more i wanted to ask you about another story you posted awhile ago i can't find it anywhere...it was about spike being the queen's guard in London and buffy was a tourist who teased him...what happend to it? i really liked it
Author's Response: Hi sweety, it's god to hear from you again and I'm so please you enjoyed chappy 1 of ML. You're talking about Her majesty's Guard. I took that off TSR to work on it as a origiinal fic for epublication - I felt bad doing it, but I went off the advice of a friend when making the decision. I'll be updating ML soon and I do hope you enjoy ch 2 just as much. Thank you so very much for the review darling. Hugs and kisses.

Oh my gosh! I am sitting hear cracking up @ the library...they're gonna kick me out i just know it. Thank you for the best intro of a story. I'm hooked already
Author's Response: HHAHAHAHHAHA, I sincerely hope you didn't get kicked out. Reading comedy in a library - not of the good, LOL. But I'm glad to have entertained you sweety and glad you liked the first chappy. The secondisn't far behind from being posted. Thanks for the review darling. Smooches to oyu.

OMG! *Squee!!* That was just perfect! Absolutely perfect. I'm so glad to see you start posting again, and this story looks so delicious already. I love your 'Take-no-shit' Buffy, and paired up with womanizing Spike, I can already see the sparks flying. Great premise sweetie, can't wait to read the second chappy!
Author's Response: Hi sweety, it's so good to see you here and know that you liked the first chappy. Gotta luv a strong Buffy and a willful Spike with an ego the size of the moon. You can bet it's gonna be an interesting road they'll go down in this fic. I'm so hapy to see you here and of course thanks a mil. for the review darling. Huggles.

Date: 01/30/2008 - 11:13 am Title: First Impressions are Everything
Oh, I always love your Spike and Buffy interaction. This is so many shades of awesome. Can't wait for more
Author's Response: WOw, thank you so much sweety. I enjoy this type of Spike/Buffy personality the best. Makes the getting together all the more satisfying in the end. THanks a million sweety, smooches to you.

Date: 01/30/2008 - 07:25 am Title: First Impressions are Everything
Ohhh.... I love it so far. Good start and way to go Buffy. I do hope she doesn't have to move out her apartment if she will not get the promotion!
And Spike really should look up how to pick up a woman :)... or how to pick up a woman with success :).
Sad that I will leave for 3 weeks holiday without Internet.... ok holiday is good.. no internet not. I have to reread your story than :).
Author's Response: Giggles, well, SPike and his big mouth and ego = a bitchy Buffy when he misreads her totally, LOL. Please enjoy your holiday darling and I do hope when you come back and catch up, that you'll enjoy ML. Thank you so much for the lovely review. Hugs.

Date: 01/30/2008 - 06:58 am Title: First Impressions are Everything
Great start!
Author's Response: Thank you darling. Smoochies.

Yup, me and the boy both used to be in telemarketing, he sticking with it longer and ending up a closer, and my mother used to run her own business and take me to conferences......so ask away if you need details. He's IT for a nursery supply company now, and he laughs at the babied sales people that complain about having to take their own orders. Seriously, most of them don't even have to stump for new accounts, and take 2 hour lunches. We had to be on the phones constantly, or we got yelled at for goofing off. It was all about numbers, man.
Author's Response: OMG, and I remember how frustated some of the sales people were and saw the stress and hurry and bustle al over their faces, wearing them down. It's not something I would ever want to do and even my lowly job was made stressful. THank you for the review darling and I'm glad you enjoyed chappy 1. Huggles.

Date: 01/30/2008 - 01:41 am Title: First Impressions are Everything
Bloody brilliant! I can't even remember the last time I laughed out load while reading! More? Please? :)*

Author's Response: I had a great break, thank you. Had lots of family in and out of the house for over a month and then had fun writing like crazy. So I'm pleased you like the first chappy. I wanted to start it all off with a bang of banter and attraction. Thanks for the review darling, huggles. Hope ou enjoy ch 2 once I post it.

Author's Response: Hahahahhaa, you always brighten my day with your wit and charm, I adore you sweety. I'm so thrilled you liked the start of ML - I can't resist comedy, its a weaknes of mine, hee hee. The bad boy and snarky queen of De Nile - never fails for an interesting sort of relationship, huh? Thank you so much for the review my friend, huge hugs and kisses to you.

OMG I am so late to the party, and believe me when I saw you had started a new story, I thought my birthday came early. Love the storyline, lots of potential, and hey it's you so I know it will be good. I'm so glad you are back and back with a vengeance. Whatever your new writing method is, it seems to be working. I will look forward to any and all updates. Don't go away for such a long period of time again
!
Author's Response: Hahahhaaha, wow, I'm flattered and soooooooo pleased you liked the intro of my new story. I'll try not to go away again for so long - of course the holidays and having family in an out like a revolving door didn't help, but at least my new method seems to allow my writing to get me Thank you so much for the lovely review darling. Huggles.
