Reno's Life: Chp 9
Elena walked into her office, slumped down into her chair, and lay her head on the desk. Tears filled her eyes as she began to cry softly to herself. Her day was going horribly wrong.
Elena woke up late because she forgot to set her clock one hour forward. Her car refused to start that morning, so she had to run to work in the pouring cold rain. Her last clean uniform was soiled with mud. They were out of coffee in the lounge, and now there were rumors in the building that Tseng and the new employee were going out. Could her day have gotten any worse?
Just as things began looking their worst, a soft knock came to the door.
"What is it?", Elena asked grumpily. Probably Reno. My bad day wouldn't be complete without him doing something stupid, she thought to herself.
"Delivery for a …Ms. Elena?", the person replied.
Elena curiously stood up, walked over to the door, and slowly opened it. A delivery man with a rather large bouquet of flowers was patiently standing there.
"Who are they from?", she asked as she took the flowers from him.
The man shrugged and went on his way. Elena looked for a card. She found one, but the only thing written on it was "For 'Lena". Elena smiled for the first time that day. She knew exactly who it was from.
As the hours went by, more and more deliveries were being made. Elena's office looked like some sort of garden. Employees with allergies had trouble walking by her office. Each order of flowers made her feel more and more special. Her bad day soon turned into a good one.
Reno could be a real jerk, but at times, he could be a real sweetheart.
But where did he get all the money for this?
A few doors down, Reno was leaning back in his chair, holding a small, rectangular-shaped plastic card in his hands.
"I wonder how ol' Tseng would react when he finds out his credit card is missing, yo".
