On Edge

Three days later…

"You're fired! Get out of my sight!" 

The leaders of the department whisper to one another, "isn't this her fifth time firing someone?"

"If you count the three from her afternoon rounds yesterday, then."

"Almost ten over the past three days."

"Shh, stand straight, or she'll fire one of us next." They all carefully whispered to each other when they saw Everest trying to calm Belen Astares.

Seeing how distracted she was with him allowed the leaders to resume whispering, "secretary Everest isn't making it any easier."

"We need secretary Noah. He's the one who knows how to calm the Madam's storm."

"Too bad he went on vacation…."
