I walk to the dining room, looking at the cheesy bread laying on the plate with that creamy mushroom sauce in a tiny bowl next to the plate. My father sits beside my mother. He starts drinking my most favorite orange juice. My mother is the best of making orange juice. But she doesn't like oranges at all, how ironic.
"Good morning, dad!"
"Olivia, so you start working today?"
"Yes, dad. I'll go at 8."
"Well, please take care of yourself, sweetheart. I don't want you to have any big problems at your office anymore."
"The office now is different that. I'm sure I won't make any."
After I finish the breakfast, I put my boots on. I bought the boots in France last year. It was expensive but because of color was unique, I decided to buy it. Today is the first day of autumn. I don't have any plan for today except working for 8 hours long. The clock shows me 8.02 AM. Shit! I'll be late to catch up the bus. Gosh, the pavement is quiet and there's no bus anymore. Great. I'd better walk to the office. I walk fast and I don't even pay attention to my surrounding.
"Geez! What are you doing?" I hit a stranger accidentally and my coffee spills onto his luxurious coat.
"I'm so sorry. This is a mess."
"Yes it is! This is my favorite coat. Ahh....the coffee will not fade."
"I'm so sorry. Can I buy you one?"
"I bought the coat in Greece. I wonder how you can buy this in Greece now."
"I have to go, I'm late. Please call me and tell me for the new coat I should buy." I hand him my name card. He takes the card and observes my real face and my face in the photo.
"I'm so sorry. I'm going now. Bye!"
He's still standing there. Looking at me curiously, mysteriously, and thoroughly.
