1 The act of falling

Damn I'm late!!

I finally got a job after searching for over two months and on my first day, everything is going wrong.

It all started last night when both light and water were cut off and I had to use one water bottle to take my bath. I looked like trash, but it could have been worse.

Anyways, the only dress that wasn't wrinkled turned out to be a mini gown but I had to wear it.

"We're here," the driver said, and I quickly paid him and ran out. Taxis are expensive but waiting for the bus would have taken more time.

I ignored the watchful eyes of others who took in my disheveled appearance; tossled hair and short gown. I got into the elevator hoping that my boss would be one who showed up once or twice a week.

After the elevator stopped, I stepped out, took a deep breath, surveyed my desk and did things that only delayed the inevitable.

I looked at the door that had the mark, Alex Wang, CEO.

Is he in there?

I looked around like someone in the fugitive before pressing my ear against the door.

No sound.

My hands were on the door knob and I slowly turned it, trying to make as little noise as possible.

"WHAT THE FUXK ARE YOU DOING!!!"

I fell.
