Alice reached her office by running in case she missed the due time. She clicked her Id card to the machine at the door that flashed a bright red " Access ". The clanking of her heels turned many eyes to her but she didn't care. She had an important presentation and she couldn't be late. She ran to the lift and missed it by two seconds .
"Bloody Hell " she muttered under her breath.
She went to the staircase and climbed missing two steps. She ran the first two floors and staggered herself for the rest. She reached the fifth floor. Then she pulled out her compact and applied a bit of foundation. The image in front of her was pretty but a bit sweaty. So she fanned herself and dabbed a tissue to her neck and some to her face to dilute the powder and give her the 'natural ' look. She pouted and clicked a few selfies . But then she had a sudden realization of being late and she ran inside.
The work came piling. There were minutes of the meeting to printed, documents to be delivered. There were calls to be made and forwarded to her bosses. There was work checklists and allocations. Alice was working for 3 years and she was good at it.
Her boss called her for the presentation which she explained very well. She was praised which made her feel like she was the 'Best Worker ' and nobody can work like her. The boss informed that she had to work with her junior today. She obediently smiled and went back to her desk.
Her junior was Lizzie Crumbs. She was older to her by a year. She opened the resume and personal details.
Name : Lizzie Crumbs
Age : 29
School Qualifications: ,
Reasons for changing jobs : First job.
When Alice saw that she laughed to herself. She had a habit of speaking to herself quite often.
What a loser. What does she think she can achieve if she joins at such a late age ? Ohh the boss told me that she had personal problems at home. So what ? Is that the reason you throw away your career ? What a loser. But then not everyone is Alice Keys...I.e. me the perfectionist. A successful career and a perfect family.
She snorted while putting down the file and went back to work. Lizzie was supposed to come at 10am.
It was 10.30am
Is she supposed to be late ? Even I was never late in my entire career but she is late on her very first day.
Alice was typing on her keyboard very loudly . She checked her wristwatch every 5 seconds.
It was 10.50 am.
Lizzie Crumbs reported to her . She was pale faced with dry lips and disheveled brown hair. Her eyes were stoned and bore no expression like a robot. Her oversized dress was crumpled at the sleeves which failed to hide her skinny body. She had a leather bag which looked ruddy and old.
"Hi , I'm Lizzie Crumbs. Nice to meet you."
"Lizzie, why are you so late? Are you sure this is your first day !!!"
Alice's voice was raising by one octave every sentence. Her chest was slightly heaving and her perfect makeup face was showing a frown.
