Cecil promised herself to not think too much about the tomorrow's day and she actually achieved it. The night before that she casually got home from work, feeded and went for a walk with her dog Berto and then they both were lying on the couch watching one of her favourite series while eating home made Saltimbocca*. She was toasting and turning in bed way too long but finally felt in sleep.
The morning after she wake up and dressed up more representatively. Black long to her knees skirt, white shirt with more details around the buttons, black casual jacket and high heels. Simple but really professional as it should be. She believed this outfit was about to save the day simply because she wore it the first time when she met Mr. Rambosey and now, she wanted to meet her new boss with the same lucky clothes. She was trying so hard to calm down and not freak out during the whole time in the bus on her way to work. Every day she changes three buses because even the fact that she was comparatively well-paid, she couldn't afford a car. She always wondered when she will have the chance to buy one when she had to pay her bills and the rent for the apartment where she lives in. Even if she saves money her whole life, she would never be able to save enough and start a new decent life. And she also doesn't believe bank loans.
By the time she finally arrived in the office everyone around her was whispering and giggling. The only one person who was really doing something useful on the computer in front of him was Benjamin, the only one in this office who she had no trouble talking with. She decided to cheer him up by startle him a bit:
- You started early today!
He jumped out of his chair, as Cecil expected, and she tried to hold up her laugh. He was probably the only one who easily makes her smile with his clumsiness and ineptitude. He sat back down already used to her sense of humor. She sat on the desk right next to him on his left side as always.
- It won't be the first time I have a new employer. And you shouldn't be so excited. Most likely, this one will be like the old Rambozi, he won't give a dime to whoever works for him as long as there are no problems with customers. He won't even know we exist. Get ready, because having a new boss means double the work.
- I thought the new bosses were doing everything possible to please the team.
- It's obvious that this is your first job. The new ones try to show "authority" or in other words "I am the master, you are the slave, you must obey me".
She knew he always liked to exaggerate, but her stomach tightened painfully.
It was eight o'clock, the beginning of the working day, but no one showed up. Everyone waited with bated breath for at least ten minutes, she herself too, although she didn't show it, but nothing. She laughed at the situation. Great authority showed nothing. Not being on time was the thing that left the worst impression on her. How can she respect a man who has worse manners than even the people she grew up with. Anyway, ten minutes had passed anyway, and she was only pretending to be doing something.
After a full two hours, she was so concentrateed in her work that she didn't even notice how everyone fell silent and stood up suddenly. The only sound in the room was the tapping of keys on her keyboard. All eyes were on her and she still didn't realize what was happening. The only one who tried to pull her out of the trance she was in was Benjamin. He kicked her rather roughly. She froze in place, then turned her gaze in the direction of the visitors. The man standing in the front position was looking at her murderously.
