The flowers in the garden kissed by the morning dew signifies a sunny glorious morning when the chirping of birds wakes up Athena from a good sleep. This should be a good sign to start the day. She inhales the morning fog as its drapes around the Manor giving a blurry silhouette to the surroundings as she stands before her window enjoying the scenery with cool misty air at six.
"You should eat everything for sufficient energy. You got a taste of your job yesterday and Tuesday must be tons of workload waiting for you." Breakfast is too much but nobody skips it in the Manor.
Margaret is fussing over her, going back and forth between the kitchen and dining hall serving her more food that she barely touches. The concerned aunt even offers to pack her lunch but she says NO. She already mentioned last night at dinner that she has stubs for free meals, didn't she? Why is she mothering me? She looks at her two cousins with a frown who both chuckle. Luna and Glacilda are still in bed at 6:30.
"She does that 'til you say stop. We had our own share of frowns growing up under her watchful eyes." Marybeth whispers as she leaves the table. "My surgery starts at 7:30. Have a good day."
KGP Building is along the way to Good Shepherd Hospital so Mark drops her off. When she crosses the street to the coffee shop, a pang of nervousness had crept over her while thinking of being officially employed today. What's in store for her especially meeting Ranner again? Chiding herself, she can't be nervous. She did an impressive research and it would be the highlight of her day. Plus she still has ample time to check emails before the boss arrives at 8:30 so nothing to be nervous about. It's only 7:47.
She steps out of a crowded elevator at 8:26. She waited in a long queue never expecting that Cafe' Ingles is crowded at this hour. The guard outside the reception greeted her but the mahogany desk is empty. Jeremy is nowhere. The hallway is clean and quiet missing the constant chatter of the employees inside.
