Part I (Revised)
It was a bad day. No. It was an awful day. She had slept in, so her hair was awful since she didn't have time to take a shower. Her car had refused to start so she had to take the bus. But the bus was also late! When she had finally arrived to work, it was 10:30. But that was only the beginning. After that she tripped in the stairs right in front of Wufei, she tore her tights on a nail, tearing her skin at the same time, she dropped her coffee on her laps, also in front of Wufei, she hit her head under her desk, while trying to reach her pencil and her computer got infected by a virus. On the top of all that, she was in the middle of her period, caught with a terrible flu which was giving her an infernal headache caused by her sinus congestion. Her nose was red and aching and she was now out of tissues. She got up carefully, trying not to hit her knees or toes on anything. The room was turning a bit. She realised that the medicine she had taken was not non-drowsy after all. Slowly, she made it to the door without any harm. As she took the doorknob in her hand, the door opened right in her face, hitting her forehead violently and making her fall on the floor with a noisy "screeek." "There goes my skirt!" She thought resigned getting a hand to her forehead to see if it was bleeding. It wasn't but she would have one of these bumps. She looked up to see Lady Une's secretary staring at her.
"Major Po! What are you doing on the floor?"She asked, brilliant as usual.
"Sunbathing" thought Sally sarcastically. "What a question!"
"Nothing." replied Sally, trying to get up without the help of the secretary who didn't seem to want to help anyway. It took her a moment since she was wearing high heels and the room was still going round, but she made it. She smoothed the wrinkles on her skirt, trying to find where the seam had rip. She did not.
"I have this letter for you." Said the little secretary holding out a white envelope covered with Chinese characters.
Sally took it without getting her eyes off it. She knew that writing. Whose was it? Her dad's? No, it was too perfect. Her mother-in-law's? Maybe, though she could not figure why that old witch would write to her. Lady Une's secretary broke Sally's train of thoughts.
"By the way, your bra is very nice" She said, closing the door.
Sally looked down. It was her blouse that had makes that sound. It was ripped right under each of her breasts, showing clearly her red lace bra. Sally turned scarlet and sighed; at least, she had her jacket to cover up that mess. The envelope still in hand, she managed to get to her chair and sit. Then she bends on the envelope but her nose began to flow. She pinched it with one hand, trying to reach the tissues with the other hand. Her hand only met the empty box.
"Damn!" She cursed.
Again, she got up, holding her head back to prevent her nose from flowing. She tried to snort. It was useless. Slowly she walked toward the door when it opened.
"Is everything alright here? Lady Une's stupid secretary told me…" Wufei stopped his sentence, stunned by what he was looking at. Sally with her head back and a hand on her nose walking with a tore up blouse showing her bra. Adding to that the tore up tights and the coffee on her skirt. Wufei turned red and went out without saying any other words. When the door was closed, Sally heard him laugh like she never had before. Tears were probably running down his cheeks by the time he got back to his office. Sally sighed, her eyes filled with tears.
"That does it!" she thought.
Carefully, she got back behind her desk and put her jacket on, without getting her head straight. Then, she took the phone and dialled Noin's number.
"Lucrezia Peacecraft talking. How may I help you?" asked a soft voice.
"Noin, it's Sally."
"Oh! Hi Sally, how are you?"
"Bad, real bad."
"What's the matter?" asked Noin, concerned.
"I'll explain it to you, but before could you bring me a Kleenex box, and FAST!"
Noin was laughing loudly, holding her aching sides. This was too funny. She was sitting in front of Sally who was blowing her nose with the tissues she had brought.
"So Wufei laughed! I didn't think that was possible…" She remarked, still laughing herself. "This isn't your day, I hope for you that'll end soon." She added, getting up. "Do you want me to get you something for that bump of yours, it's getting quite violet." She asked.
Sally touched it to see if it had got bigger. She removed her hand instantly, it was really painful. She smiled at Noin, well she tried.
"Gonna be alright. I need a proof to sue that stupid girl."
Noin grinned, walking toward the door.
"Well, I'll get back to work. Oh! One more thing, take the day off tomorrow, will you."
Sally rolled her eyes, laughing. Noin closed the door. As she walked to the elevator, she shook her head, smiling. Sally was impossible! Sally got back to her work. She just could not take the day off tomorrow; there was that big meeting with West division. She just had to attend it since she was the one talking about the recruitment campaign, the most important project for the years to come. Speaking of that, she had to fix some parts of the executive summary that Wufei had forgotten about. Trying to find the rough copy in that mountain of papers she had on her desk, she fell on that letter Lady Une's secretary had brought her. She had forgotten about it. Carefully, she unsealed the envelope, letting a small piece of rice paper out. With the same care, she unfolded it and started reading. Her hands began to shake as her widened. She could not believe it. Her day had been awful, but this was overwhelming.
