CHAPTER 12

“Ozzy took a liking to you.” Karen was the first to speak once we were back in the car.

“Karen, I’m not interested-”

“That’s the killer.” She sighed. “

“I don’t know what to say.”

“There’s nothing to say. It isn’t your fault. It’s just a fact.” She smiled at me. “Don’t worry about it. It’s not the end of the world.”

“I should have stayed at the office. I’m really sorry.”

“I’m glad you came with me. At least now I know where I stand with Ozzy. I really need to focus on my studies instead of guys. So enough talk of guys, we are really gonna have to start looking at dresses for you.”

“Ugh, I don’t even wanna think about the banquet.” I shuddered.

“Don’t worry about Cat. E-Z won’t let her get with in fifty feet of you.” She giggled and I rolled my eyes.

“Enough of that, let’s get back to work.”

“Adira, could you come to my office please?” I nearly dropped my stapler as the voice crackled through the speaker.

“I’ll be right in.” I hurried across the hall.

“Adira, thank you for helping out. This is Mr. Myers, he is head of Human Resources.” I turned to see an elderly gentleman.

“Nice to meet you, Adira.” He took my hand in his arthritic one and gently squeezed it. “Howard here tells me you filled in for Veda.”

“Yes sir, I mean I’ve done what I can.” Which really wasn’t much more than sorting and stapling papers.

“Ah, I see. Well, I thank you for your willingness to assist us. You know we have an important conference next week.” I nodded. “Well we have a suspicion Veda and Julissa were wrangled away from us at this precise moment to cripple us at the conference.”

“You already know Veda wasn’t doing the work I needed for the conference. Those cases of paper should have already been sorted and stapled. How much more do you have before you are done? Do I need to bring in someone else to help you?” Mr. Wallace was red faced and sweating.

“No sir, I’m already done. I completed the last of the packets before lunch today. It would have been earlier if I had known where all the folios were.” Both men stared at me. I didn’t know what to say.

“Young lady, do you mean to tell me you finished three cases of paper?”

“Yes sir. I mean all I have to do is get the packets into the portfolios. They arrived while we were at lunch. I’m so sorry, is that going to be a problem?” I had the sinking feeling I’d done something very wrong.

“The only problem is we were told by Veda it would take her the better part of two weeks to get it all sorted and ready.”

“Oh. Well in her defense, I haven’t done anything but that all day. Perhaps her other duties prevented her from doing as much in one day.”

“I think what was keeping her from getting her work done was the amount of money she would make by sabotaging our conference presentation.
