An exasperating and repetitive sound of tapping on wood could be heard through all the corridor that connected every office in the sixth floor, yet, she didn't noticed it, even if it was her hand and fingers the ones that made that noise she was so immerse in her emotions that she couldn't hear anything but her thoughts, and those thoughts screamed that she should totally scold the psychiatrist she worked with for being extremely and unforgivably late.
Right at that moment Katherine was like a bomb full of rage, waiting for the smallest action to explode and scream to everything that moved, plus the tapping was working as its clock, slowly counting the seconds left for her to do that.
The girl suddenly stopped her hand from making that repetitive movement that created the awful sound, not because she was asked to, but rather because she became interested in something else. Footsteps coming from the stairs.
She quickly turned her head and saw a young man casually walking towards the office number 64-A, he was wearing a light blue shirt, a dark blue vest and a scarlet tie. The man was carefully reading some papers, not paying attention of what was around him, and that means, not knowing that Katherine was looking at him with pure rage.
"Morning Doctor" she said dryly and with annoyance, startling the man that had just arrived, he looked surprised to see her and that only bugged her even more.
"Good morning Kate" he replied happily and with a smile, totally ignoring the blonde's dead stare "It's great to see you this early!".
And then she exploded.
"This early?!" She hissed angrily as she stood up, trying to keep herself from screaming with all her forces "Doctor, I arrived here at seven and you weren't here! I mean, I know it's your office and everything, but you should be more responsible".
"Kate..." The doctor interrupted her with a short chuckle, while feeling truly confused and slightly worried of what Katherine was talking about.
"What?" She replied, holding in the anger she had inside.
"It's six forty-five" he said approaching her and looking directly at her eyes, in some other time Katherine would feel totally intimidated by those deep, dark, blue eyes, but right then she was enraged, therefore, she wasn't thinking very well.
"What!" Her voice was suddenly high pitched and she didn't knew if she should laugh or feel even angrier. She decided to chuckle to don't say anything that might offend her boss.
"It's six forty-five" the man repeated as he slowly placed his hands on her shoulders in an attempt to calm her down "You're fifteen minutes early, no one is late, calm down".
She laughed with irony, not believing a single word of what the doctor said, and placed her left hand on her hips, but once she raised her right arm and glanced at her wrist her mouth formed an almost perfect "O".
The small hand of her little golden watch was almost two lines away from the seven and the large one was very close to the eight, she couldn't understand how her watch could be showing almost 6:40 when approximately five minutes ago it marked 7:00.
She was astonished and slightly afraid that her expensive watch was already broken, Katherine immediately thought that the most probable thing was that she misread the hour, but at the same time she was almost sure that it had said seven when she arrived at the medical centre.
"Well..." She said staring to the floor and trying to avoid making eye contact with the doctor as a bright blush came to her face "This is pretty much the most awkward moment in my entire life".
The doctor simply laughed and took out a pair of silver keys of his left pocket, then he inserted one of them on the handle and turned it to the left, with a soft clicking sound the door was unlocked. Katherine only thought of how calm the doctor took the "situation" that just happened.
