Love Stinks, Inc., An Uncollected Anthology Story (2014)
“The tops of the tall office buildings in City Center were shrouded in thick grayish-white mist, but Dyte could still see the faint outline of the white-spoked Ferris wheel from her office. It was one of the reasons she’d chosen an office on the tenth floor instead of taking the twenty-second floor penthouse suite, which she’d subdivided into offices for her managers.
Dyte liked to keep her people happy, which was also why she’d given everyone except a skeleton crew the rest of the week off—with... pay—and the skeleton crew were each getting a hefty bonus.
Love Stinks, Inc., had had a record holiday season, not in the least due to the last-minute advertising Dyte had managed to set up before she left the office on the 14th. She’d changed the focus of her company’s advertising from “love is for wimps” to “love happens more than one day a year.” She’d had to buy a few spells—a few very expensive spells—and curry favors from the God of Cable Advertising (yes, there was a god for that, too) in order to get it done on time, but she’d managed, and the results had shown clearly in her company’s bottom line.MoreLess
