"Where are the color samples?" Wally demands.
"In lab 3 Mr. Darling." You say and hand him a clipboard. "Here are the reports from this morning."
He smacks the clipboard out of your hand and you watch him as he kicks a rolling cart over. You don't finch, you are used to this.
"I asked for them over six hours ago! What is the excuse this time?!"
You tuck a strand of hair behind your ear and begin to pick up the scattered papers. "Lab 7 told me it was taking longer for the colors to stabilize, further detail is in these reports," You say and stand back up. "The color samples were sent to Lab 3 to examine for any errors."
"If they have messed up another batch, I will make them a part of the next one!" Wally snatches the papers out of your hand. "The colors are acidic again..."
You take a few steps back before he rips a lamp out of the outlet and throws it across the room.
"Lab 3 is ready for you examine the samples. Would you like a cup of coffee after you talk to them?" You ask.
"Talk to them? I am going to wring their necks! Put those reports on my desk." Wally says as he storms off.
You will fix him a pot of coffee after you clean this mess. The man loves his coffee. You pick up the cart and fetch a broom. You examine the floor for broken lamp pieces. You notice there are some pieces under and table and crawl under it to pick them up. As you get up, you step back and step on pen. You lose your balance and fall.
"Ouch..." You see that you dropped the broken pieces back on the floor, but they are now covered in crimson. You look at your hand and see blood running down your arm. "Damn..."
*The Infirmary*
"My, my dear were you trying to slice your fingers off?" The doctor says as he washes your hand.
"No," You wince as he starts putting medicine on the wounds. "Just fell while cleaning up some glass."
The doctor has to wrap up your whole hand and, of course, it is your writing hand. You will have some poor penmanship for a few weeks, hopefully Wally will not be too mad.
"Ugh I got blood on the reports," You sigh. "Now I got to go back to Lab 3."
"You are worried about paper? Look at your hand! Come back in two days so I can have a look and bandage it again. Here is a bottle of asprin." The doctor hands you a small brown bottle.
You take the bottle and thank him. You take the elevator to the labs. You see two scientists crying in front of a doorway. Well, Wally was here.
You grab another copy of reports from a scientist that is not having a breakdown and request them to send a digital copy. Unfortunately, they cannot send files over, another software problem. Great, something else he will be angry about. You drop the reports off at Wally's desk and head to breakroom to fix the coffee.
"Y/N?"
"Yes?" You turn around and see the nurse. "Oh Alice, how are you?"
"I'm well, what about you? Dr. Cromwell told me what happened- Oh my dearest, your hand..." She takes your hand and pets it gently.
"It feels much better actually," You smile and take your hand away. "Let me guess, would you like a caramel macchiato?"
"Guilty!" Nurse Alice giggles. "If it would not be too much trouble."
You laugh. "It would be my pleasure Alice."
Coffee is a passion for you. Whenever you have spare time, you like to experiment making different expresso drinks. You bought an expresso machine for the breakroom and made a mini coffee bar area for the workers. Alice loves to try your creations and says she cannot make it through the day without one of your caramel macchiatos or chai lattes.
You fix a cappuccino for yourself while you are at it, but before you can enjoy a taste, your radio goes off.
"Y/N! Where is my coffee?" Wall shouts. You sigh.
"On my way Mr. Darling."
"I admire your patience Y/N. Only thing I have to worry about my boss is his corny jokes." Alice says.
"Mr. Darling just has a lot on his plate is all."
Alice scoffs. "Whatever you say my dear, there's not a nice bone in his body. Thank you for the coffee and good luck."
You just smile and grab Wally's coffee. No cream, no sugar. As you ride the elevator to his office, you look at the time to see it is about 30 minutes before you clock out. You sigh with relief, you cannot wait to go to your room and rest.
"There you are! What took you-" Wally stops his complaining once he sees your hand. "What happened?"
"Nothing to worry about sir. Here is your coffee." You say and place his coffee carefully on your desk.
Before you can turn around to leave, he grabs your wrist. "What...happened...?"
"I..I just fell and cut it on some glass," You say as he examines the bandages.
"This is not the place to be careless. Watch your step." He sighs. "And make sure not to get your blood on your paperwork." He lets go of you. "Tomorrow you and I are going to observe the next color batch. I need you to record if there are any reaction during the process. I need to figure this out quick, we cannot let this color go to waste."
"Of course sir, I will make sure everything is prepared before I leave tonight."
"Be here early. Tomorrow's batch starts at 7 sharp." Wally says.
"Yes Mr. Darling." You say and start walking towards the door.
"Did I say you could leave?" You stop. "Come here..." You listen.
He steps in front of you, you look up at him. How can he be this tall? You think. He holds his chin as he looks you up and down. "What size suit do you normally wear?"
"Medium sir." You say.
"We have new suits, ask about them when you go back downstairs. You may leave." He says.
"Thank you. Make you sure get some rest sir, good night." You say.
Wally smirks. "And let this place fall apart? Seven am Miss Y/N. Even one second late and to the grinder you go."
"Yes Mr. Darling." You say and leave his office.
