I slowly opened the door to my mailbox. I was tired and did not want to go to work. I found a small envelope that was sent to me from Cathy, so I was anxious to read it. However, I shoved it into my purse and left the post office. Hilde had managed to get Bill (boss) to have a meeting with me early this morning and I had 5 minutes to get there. I stared at the cab driver while glancing at my wristwatch. Finally the cab pulled up to were I work and I quickly paid. I ran to the elevator and pressed the button 6. When the doors opened I saw Hilde waiting for me.
"Well it's about time." She said looking impatient.
"Ya I am so sorry dear." I replied with a soft tone.
She sighed as she grabbed my arm and led me to his office.
"Well good morning Miss Dorlin." Said Bill as he shook my hand firmly. "Take a seat please."
I sat down feeling very uncomfortable.
"Now Hilde told me you wished to talk to me about a certain matter relating to the topic of the job as Senator?" He said smiling at me.
"Uh yes sir." I replied. "You see I really worked hard for that job and I really wanted it." "I thought that I could help people better by having that job." "It was very important to me."
"Hhmm." He said as he slowly got up from his desk chair. "You see Miss Darlin, the reason why I did not give you the job was because you have no commitment."
"What?" I asked very confused.
"I mean the fact like you don't really need the job to support yourself or something." "You see Lisa got it because I know she will stay with us and not leave to go to some other organization because she needs to pay the loan from the bank that she took out to pay for a 100,000 Mercedes." "Also Hilde won't leave me because she wants to start a family."
I was in shock! Was he for real?
"You see you are free." "What's to say you won't leave us for another."
"So your saying that if I was in major debt or married then I would have gotten the job?"
He smiled. "Exactly."
I couldn't say anything because I didn't believe what I was hearing. It was ridiculous.
"See you later Miss Dorlin." "I am sorry you didn't get the job."
I shook hands with him and then left the room with Hilde by my side.
"He is a insane!" I said walking towards my office. "I am sorry Relena." Replied Hilde.
"O I don't want to talk about it right now." I said as I plopped down into my desk chair. That's when I saw my purse and remembered the letter.
"Hilde can you hand me my purse?" I asked nicely.
She grabbed it from on top of the cabinet and came over towards me. I unzipped it and then pulled out the small envelope.
"A letter?" "From who?" Asked Hilde coming closer.
"Cathy." I replied.
I opened it and out came a picture of Heero and I from the wedding. I was sitting on his lap with an embarrassed smile on my face, as did Heero. Before I knew it Hilde had grabbed the picture and told me she wanted to show one of her friends how cute he was and she left my room. I just sat there looking at my door waiting for any second for her to come back, but she didn't. So I started organizing my paperwork.
All of a sudden people started glancing into my room saying congratulation to me.
"Ah thank you." I said curiously.
I shook my head when Hilde came back into my room.
"Hey what took you so long?" "What did you go around showing everyone?" I asked joking around with her.
"Actually yes." She said as I looked up at her surprised. "And I did more than that." "Omg what did you do?" I said getting concerned as to where this was going.
"I told Bill and the other co-workers that Heero was you fiancé."
"WHAT???" I said feeling outraged as Hilde winced at me."
"Well I thought that you would help you get the job, don't get mad at me." She replied coming towards me.
"Oh Hilde why?" "I mean were not engaged and besides the job has already been filled." I laid my forehead down into the palm of my hand as I began to feel a headache coming on. How could she do this to me?
"Miss Dorlin?" I heard a voice say. "I would like to speak with you in my office right now." I looked up to see Bill in my doorway.
"Uh yes sir." I replied getting quickly up from my chair."
He nodded as he left towards his office.
"O god Hilde what did you get me into?" I said looking at her.
"I am sorry." She said meekly. I sighed as I left room. What am I going to do? I thought.
