When Blanca arrived at the company, it was exactly 8:59 AM, and she let out a long sigh.
She was almost late!
As the chairman, Matthew didnât need to worry about the time. But Blanca read in the Employee Handbook yesterday that employees late for work would be deducted fifty dollars from their pay, fifty bucks! That was enough for several meals! Thinking about this, Blanca sat down at her desk. As soon as she did, a girl came over and said, âMiss Gregor wants to see you.â
âOkay, thanks.â
Blanca sighed in her heart. Why did she always feel like a student who was called on by the teacher for being absent-minded in class?
She took her badge and walked towards the office. As soon as she entered but before she turned around, she heard Anna Gregorâs resolute voice, âShut the door behind you.â So Blanca carefully closed the door, turned around, and saw that Anna was working at the desk.
Anna seemed to be very busy. She was in a professional suit in the style of a capable and strong woman. At this moment, she was gracefully leaning on the chair and staring at the stack of documents on her desk. When she noticed Blanca, through those red lips of hers Anna said, âTake a seat.â
Blanca then sat down squarely.
She was sitting there for ten minutes, but Anna didnât say anything else. Blanca felt like she was walking on thin ice.
Was it about her work?
It shouldnât be though. She barely did anything serious yesterday - all she did was read the Employee Handbook...
Was it something personal then? This didnât seem possible.
Blanca kept her head down and stirred with her fingers as if she was going to pull them off. All sorts of crazy ideas were flooding her mind. She looked up to check on Anna every now and then. Twenty minutes later, Anna suddenly put down the files in her hand. The files landed on the desk loud.
âMiss Gregor, is there anything you would like me to do?â Blanca seized an opportunity to ask.
Anna let out a chuckle, then glanced at her watch, âYouâve been in here for twenty-two minutes straight, Blanca, have you got too much free time?â
âMe? Iâm not...â âIâ wasnât that busy.

But Anna interrupted her before she could finish, âBlanca, right? You are the chairmanâs wife, of which I think all of us are aware. But I wonât go easier on you because of that. You work for us, and you are under my supervision here.â
âOkay.â Blanca stood up quickly like a student who did wrong and was scolded by the teacher with her head down quietly.
âYouâve been here all day, anything youâd like to learn about? Ask away.â
âNo, nothing.â
â...Iâm having doubts about why we recruited you. Was it only for that you are the chairmanâs wife?â Anna seemed mad, and that made Blanca even more anxious. Blanca frowned, but she was biting on her lips and didnât say anything.
Blanca wasnât a fool. She could tell that Anna was harsh on her, but it was different than the HRâs picking on her. Anna seemed unsatisfied with Blancaâs work performance.
Even though Blanca wasnât sure what that was about.
âDo you not know what you did wrong?â Anna asked.
Blanca nodded a few times. Somehow she seemed to have overreacted, so she stood there in silence instead.
Blanca was typically a clever girl. Why would she back down in front of Anna? Blanca was feeling defeated. Perhaps in a big company like this, a girl like her was never able to fit in as well as those productive college grads did...
