Connor found the HR department room. He knocks and goes inside.

Connor: Hi, good afternoon I'm Connor Lexico I'm the newly hired intern.

After he speaks the HR personnel peaks at her wrist watch and shakes her head.

Kathy: 1-5 minutes is understandable but 15 minutes in your first day?

Connor: I'm sorry 

If he can bury himself from the embarrassment then he's willing to be buried alive.

All he could say is sorry in front of Kathy.

Kathy: I know this is your first day but please refrain from being late. Our boss here is very strict here when it comes to tiredness.

Connor: Yes ma'am, I'll be as early as possible.

Kathy: I'm in a good mood today so I'll go easy on you.

Kathy let out a big smile that makes Connor feel at ease. At least he did not get an ear of scolding. 

Kathy shows the workplace that Connor is gonna stay for months.

Kathy: Ok, your table is here it's literally in front of the boss's room. Since you're an intern, your task is just running some errands, doing some minor paper works and assisting him and that's probably it. 

Connor: What does assisting the boss mean? 

Kathy: hmm, his secretary is on maternity leave and he needs some extra hands on some stuffs and probably you'll be joining him in his meetings but probably not. 

Kathy smiles at him as he nods.

Connor: Ok. got it

Hours had pass but he haven't seen the boss that he's been waiting for. Connor doesn't have anything to work as of now cause it's still his first day at work. All he does is familiarizing and  reading the company book. 

Kathy: Connor, I'll head first. byers

Connor: ok bye

After a few minutes  Connor decides to head home. So he prepares his things and head out

He sprints and shouts when he saw the elevator closing and saw a man standing inside.

Connor: WAIT!!!!

After shouting the guy inside presses the button to prevent the door from closing. Connor pants as he enters the elevator.

Connor: Thanks for opening the door.

The guy ignores him and continues looking at his phone.

Connor thinks that this guy is a snub.

After pressing the ground floor button he grabs his phone in his bag and scans his schedule for tomorrow to divert the awkwardness that he feels.

He glances at the guy beside him and he notice that he was the same guy that he saw before 

jeez he's the same guy again? No wonder he's stubborn, is he deaf or mute? why on earth  I care about this guy , Connor thought

As  soon as the elevator opens,  Connor avoids the guy immediately by walking fast. The guy was about to step out the elevator when he notice that the handkerchief was left behind him. He picks it up and is about to hand the thing to the younger guy  his with a while ago but it's too late for him to give it back because Connor just drifts away and nowhere to be found.
