How to Become a Competent Henchman

I'm Lydia, a rookie underling about to start the job. My senior told me that to be a good underling, I had to be the boss's most devoted bootlicker: make him enjoy hearing what I said, make him take my side alone whenever I disagreed with a coworker, and earn the position of being closest to him, second only to him and above everyone else. It suddenly dawned on me, so I became the boss's wife. Now I stand on equal footing with him, The Outcast and above everyone else. Me: Senior! What exactly is wrong with this picture?! Please note: 1. Open ending, with a 1v1 extra. 2. The characters are extremely out of character. Theme: The Outcast, second only to one and above ten thousand.
