Chapter 4

The next morning I got up, took a shower, drank two cups of coffee and made a mad dash to catch the express bus downtown. Only I missed the bus and had to wait for the next one, which dropped me off 30 minutes late. Despite my lateness, I stopped to get a bagel.

Old habits die hard.

When I got to my desk, my cubicle was empty and fear pooled in my gut. “Hey Fay,” I whispered to the woman in the cubicle next to mine. “What happened to my stuff?”

“Jarrod from IT came and took your computer and then the Wicked Witch packed up all your papers and personal things.”

“Shit. Did she say I was fired?”

Fay shrugged. “All she said was to tell you that she’ll be waiting for you in her office.”

Shit. Shit. Shit.

I was kicking myself for being late again, convinced that the Wicked Witch was going to use it as an excuse to let me go.

Then another thought crossed my mind. Was Mr. Reed having me fired because of my behavior in his office yesterday?

Knocking on the Wicked Witch’s door, I poked my head in. “Hi Laurie, Fay told me that you wanted to see me.”

“Yes, come in.” I took a seat opposite her desk and saw my personal affects sitting in a box in the corner.

“I don’t know what you did yesterday—“

“Let me explain!” I pleaded, cutting her off. She raised her eyebrows, which meant that I should pipe down and let her finish.

“As I was saying, I don’t know what you did yesterday, but Mr. Reed and Alice were very impressed with your work.”

My jaw dropped. “They were?”

That’s not what I expected to hear. Not at all.

“Yes. They were so pleased, in fact, that they have promoted you to the Special Projects team. Effective immediately.”

“They did?” I couldn’t believe what Laurie was telling me!

“What did you do up there, anyway?” My now ex-boss asked, leaning over her desk and eagerly waiting for my response.

“I wish I could tell you, Laurie,” I said with a vindictive smile. “But everything Special Projects does is confidential.”

“Right.” She sat back, clearly disappointed. “I guess you should grab your box of personal items and head on up to Special Projects.”

Laurie stood and held out her hand, a gesture she had never made toward me, even when I was first hired. “It was a pleasure working with you, Cassie.”

“Thank you, Laurie,” I responded, shaking her hand with a satisfied smile on my face.

Then, I picked up my box and left without another word.

~~~

I set my box on the Special Projects reception desk.

“Cassie James reporting for duty,” I said a bit too cheerfully.

The receptionist was on the phone and waved me toward the chairs. Covering her headset microphone she whispered, “Someone will be right with you.”

That someone was Greta.

“Cassie! So good to see you again.” Impeccably dressed, just like yesterday, she led the way to her office where I took a seat. “Are you excited to become a fulltime member of the Special Projects team?”

“Oh yes,” I replied enthusiastically.
