I was starting work at the office, with a mug of coffee and a briefcase containing papers, money, etc. in both hands, prepared for a new week of endless amounts of work. 

Took to my seat, pulled out a ballpoint pen of my pocket from my doctor's jacket and began writing down some stuff upon a notepad.

Deep down, I wasn't sure if my antidote was worthy of release. Despite the concern, I did not overthink due to recalling the paragraph from Winston's book called Tricks to Life.

For five hours, I hustled hard. Butt pressed on the seat. Eyes glued to the work. Tough fingers gripping the body of the ballpoint pen. Mind laser focused on the task at hand.  A man on a mission.

Lunchtime approached.

As I was having lunch, my fellow colleague with a pompadour wearing a checkered shirt and denim pants, Dennis tapped my shoulder.

'Sir Bob, you are being called ', said Dennis

'All right. Where?', I asked

'Mrs. Fritzgerald's '

'All right'

I closed my lunch box, slipped up my mask and walked into the research room.

'I have something to tell you, Bob', Mrs. Fritzgerald said.

'What, madame?', I asked.

'You shall see'

What is she trying to tell me?
