CHAPTER EIGHT

Alone at the Office

BY THE TIME four o'clock rolled around, Serena called in and said that if anyone wanted to leave early they could. She told Regina she preferred everyone get home safe. That was one admirable thing; she made sure everyone that worked there felt valued and respected. Of course they had to earn that respect each day by working to their potential. It was an agreeable arrangement.

Regina let the staff know that an email would be going out by six a.m. to let them know what the status of the storm and office hours would be for Friday.

Half of the staff flew out the door when Regina announced the news. The rest diligently wrapped up what they were working on and trickled out the door before five. More often than not, Regina worked well past eight.

She didn't understand what all the commotion was about. In the three years she worked there, they only closed once because there was over two feet of snow and the governor called a state of emergency. They couldn't have opened if they’d wanted to. Only essential people were allowed on the roads, mostly medical and law enforcement workers.

Regina sat back in her seat and enjoyed the silence. She found it easiest to bang out all her emails at night just after everyone left. No one was asking or telling her anything. Above all else, she didn't have to listen to Jackie and Maria talking about the brothers they were newly dating.

That situation was way too bizarre. It was only a matter of time before someone started to say the wrong thing and the fighting would begin. Those two were the most catty in the office. For now, it was fun for them to be besties. Regina knew there was no pretty way for it to end. She warned them against the ramifications of it. It was almost like dating someone at work.

She also warned them that when it did take its ugly turn for the worse, she didn't want to hear or see it in the office. Serena would never allow someone to leak out negative poison into the attitudes of the staff. She’d been around long enough to see how fast it could spread like wildfire.

Serena didn’t have a policy on inner-office dating. How could she? Her husband was her partner. Her only policy was to come to work with a smile. Leave the frowns, fights, and festering for home.
