"Oh, Ms. Marigold, did you hear you won the 'queen of the night' award?"
Marigold turned away from the person speaking, her colleague and department's number one gossiper, Vera.
"I've never heard of that because I left the event earlier," Marigold shrugged. She was on her way to her workstation when she was stopped by her supervisor.
"Ma'am? Did I make any mistakes without realizing it?" Marigold inquired confidently.
"Our new boss wants to speak with you, Mr. Jude," the supervisor said. Marigold responded with a timid nod. "All right, I'll go to his office."
"Good and you're here earlier than your working shift. I'll take care of your belongings first. Please entertain Sir Jude."
"Okay, I'll go ahead," Marigold said and walked to Mr. Jude's office.
