Then she would go over to her desk, sit in her high back office chair, and set to work. She would look decent. She would be clean. Professional. No longer the worst of society.
Her buzzing phone eventually pulled her out of her fantasy. Her taxi had arrived. She picked up the stack of printed notes from her bed, skimmed through them one more time, and put them back on the bed. She then opened her drawer, retrieved a notepad and a pen, and put them in her handbag. With a final look in the mirror, she left her apartment and headed out to Buckler & Associates.
