entering the courtyard of a very large building, Anna accelerated her pace, following the people entering the tall building. She didn't notice that several pairs of eyes occasionally glanced at her and watched her very clearly.
Maybe because right now, she was the only one wearing the standard black and white attire, and looked very conspicuous.
Approaching the entrance, Anna tried to be as relaxed as possible and walked casually.
"Hey, you.." suddenly a woman's voice reached Anna's ears.
"Don't you have ears? Hey new kid."
Feeling soone was talking to her, Anna turned left and right looking for the source of the voice.
"I'm here."
"You're talking to ?"
"Who else is the new kid here?"
"Is there anything I can help with?" Anna imdiately approached the tall woman. 'Clarissa', was the na written on the natag hanging on her chest.
"I forgot sothing at my house, can you help get it?"
"Huh? B-but..."
"I have work to do now, and I don't have enough ti if I have to go back to pick it up," Clarissa interrupted quickly as she handed Anna a piece of paper with her ho address on it.
"S-sorry, but this is my first day…."
"Co on, don't refuse. The file is very important, and I don't have anyone else I can ask, you understand," Clarissa said again cutting Anna while glancing at the clock on her wrist.
"Ah yes, what departnt do you work in?"
"I-I'm in the cleaning departnt, Miss."
"Oh just Cleaning service? Yes, you hurry up. Ah yes, what's your na?"
"Anna."
"Okay, fine Anna. I entrust this to you. You hurry up, the Leader will be here soon. You can look for later on the fifth floor."
"Ah yes, I will convey this to your boss," Clarissa said again and then walked away leaving Anna standing in a daze.
Glancing at the address the woman gave her, a harsh sigh escaped her lips, from her current position to the woman's house, it would take at least twenty minutes if nothing traffic jams.
She never expected to experience sothing like this on her first day on the job.
With confused steps accompanied by a dazed expression, Anna turned around. Headed to the address of the woman nad Clarissa.
At least Clarissa would pass this on to her boss, so she didn't have to worry too much.
It turned out that the journey was not as short as expected. The bus she was traveling in stopped a few minutes on the way because of an accident involving two cars and several motorcyclists. Finally, the bus turned around and looked for another route that could be passed.
It took about an hour, Anna just arrived at the destination. Luckily there was a maid in the house, so she could easily enter the house and look for the file the woman she knew whose na was Clarissa.
After finding it, she imdiately rushed to leave the house by taxi, of course using her money, that was the money for food and also the rent for the bus to go ho. She thought that Clarissa would return the money because she had helped her, so she didn't hesitate to use it.
Only a few minutes later, she arrived at the office and imdiately headed to the fifth floor as the woman had previously said.
It was already nine o'clock, getting out of the elevator she set foot on the fifth floor.
"What took you so long?"
"There was an accident so the road was jamd," answered Anna.
"Okay, here. Co here," Clarissa said as she took the file in Anna's hand.
When Clarissa was that close, Anna could sll the faint scent of alcohol coming from her mouth.
"Now you help again," Clarissa said placing the file in her hand on her desk which looked very ssy.
"B-but..."
"You're the cleaning service here, aren't you? You go in and clean up the room inside before the Leader cos," Clarissa said again, pointing to the room behind Anna.
"It's your job, now co on in," she continued pushing Anna back, never once did Clarissa let Anna finish her sentence.
"Ah yes, just clean the room, and don't touch anything on the table," she said again, opening the door to the room as she pushed Anna in and closed the door from the outside.
Her steps staggered slightly, this was the result of consuming too many alcoholic drinks last night with her boyfriend. Finally, she did not finish the work she should have done last night, woke up late, and even forgot to bring a very important file and that's what makes her confused like this. Luckily she t the cleaning service, at least soone helped her, even if it wasn't much.
While on the other hand, for a few seconds Anna froze like a fool on the spot. She had just finished her race against ti, and now she had to do another job. Though she had not t her boss today.
Taking a deep breath, she then turned around and grabbed the doorknob, and opened it.
"What is it?" Anna hadn't taken step an inch yet, and Clarissa's voice had returned sound.
"Let go to the cleaning section first to confirm my presence, Miss. Then I'll be back…" said Anna.
"He'll be here soon, and I still haven't finished this. I only have two hands, although cleaning the leader's room is my job, but an exception for today because I'm very busy," Clarissa replied while tapping her index finger on the file in front of her.
"Well, there's not much ti, you go in," Clarissa said.
"You can leave after cleaning the room."
