The Cloudy Booth

"Do you mind if I excuse for a while?" I asked while I tilted my chin in the direction of the restroom.

"Sure, I'll wait for you right here," Abigail said as she stood aside and waited for me to go to the restroom.

"I'll be quick," I said as I jogged to the restroom.

While I entered the restroom, I went to the corner of the basin and made a wide grin to tilt my face left and right to check my teeth. Thank god all clear without the mess. I still remember back to last time there had chili stuck in my teeth and I had been talking to my colleagues for more than an hour.

I swear that was yikes!

And I hate Bruce never informing me in the first place. Instead, he laughed at me. Asshole.

"I'm sorry. I've to go answer the call of nature." I shrieked and jumped after I heard the voice and followed by the pretty redhead entering the bathroom.

"Oh god! Abigail. You scared the shit out of me." I exclaimed with a sigh.

"I'm sorry, Robyn. I didn't mean to scare you." Abigail said apologetically and she seemed like couldn't take any longer. She made a beeline for the furthest stall and answer the call of nature.

I chuckled as I couldn't believe a girl who was an adult in a professional outfit acting like an elementary school student in a split second.

She was too cute, wasn't she?

In the meanwhile, I started washing my hands and finally I get rid of the greasy stain. Right after I finished cleaning my hands, the sound of a flush echoed from the stall, and I knew it was the sign of Abigail had done her business and coming.

I leaned against the wall and waited for her to wash her hands so I can pass the paper towel to her.

She chuckled in the hint of shyness and she finally stood next to me to start washing a hand as she said, "I think probably that's too cold for me."

"You gotta wear a thick jacket, especially in your department. Your place could be an igloo. I have no idea how your teammates can stand with the full plus aircond low temperature." I shook my head and handed the hand towel to her.

She thanked me and exhaled with a smile, "You're right. Perhaps they are Eskimos."

I laughed and said, "Are we ready to go?"

"Yea," she beamed as we left the restroom.

"Well, I think you already know our workplace only has four levels, right?" I asked as I turned to stare at her as she nodded her head and made a soft hum.

"So, just now you already visit our department and our next door would be a human resource." I smiled and added, "Do you wanna hear every department has their special name?"

Abigail grinned and she looks like quite interested as she nodded her head and waited for me to go on.

"Okay, so I think that quite make sense our department put in the same level. For the finance department, they are the same level as our general manager's room. So we call your level the realm. Finance team, we call them as resources because mainly your department is controlling the fund."

"So, for administrative and human resource is recruit level. Administrative team to be called as call center and human resource called as a recruiter."

"Well, the last pair would be our very important base in this firm. I think this quite makes sense they put in the lowest level because they're playing in a very important role and support the ground. I guess you might know the last two departments, right?"
