Blair got up early the next morning and put on some makeup. She put on some eyeliner, lipstick, and foundation. She didn’t go for the full monty, but it took Long enough. Some important foreign clients were visiting their company today. Blair was going to be her boss interpreter. She didn’t want to Look like a slouch.
The young interpreter got into the office by 7 a.m., but she was far from the first one there. The reasons varied. Some were trying to get work done before their actual shift. Others took an early shift deliberately so they could get off earlier in the day. And someone had to turn on the lights. Breakfast in hand, she walked towards the elevator.
She pushed the button and waited for the doors to open. While she stood there, her boss, Percy Jameson, and his mistress, Filberta Wright stopped in front of the elevator to wait with her. Filberta was not only Percy’s mistress, but Blair’s immediate superior
For some reason that Blair couldn’t figure out, the mistress hated her
This was a persistent problem, starting from day 1.
She was under thirty, while Percy was in his late forties. His wife spent most of her time in the United States. So he had something on the side. This was a secret that everyone knew, an open secret among the employees.
But to keep their jobs, nobody talked about it openly.
The doors opened, so Percy and his mistress walked in. Blair remained out in the lobby.
“Come on, Blair. No sense in waiting there forever,” he said, pressing the “open door” button to keep the car on that floor.
She looked at the boss, but Percy didn’t seem threatening. It was a friendly invitation.

The fact that he was nice to Blair was exactly why Filberta was hostile to her in the first place.
Blair was fresh out of university, but she was already team leader. She got that position too easily. At least Filberta thought so. She was convinced that Blair must have done something for the boss. She believed Blair sailed by on her beauty, instead of earning her spot.
She even thought her degree was because she had used her feminine wiles.
And she got paid insanely well. She was still on probation, but the company had already provided her with all kinds of insurance, meals, an apartment, bonuses and dividends. If you counted the bonuses, she earned at least $20, 000 a month.
Actually, with Blair’s skill, the pay was well-deserved. She could have found an even higher-paying job somewhere else.
But she stayed put. Her current company was mid-sized. She didn’t like all the rules that larger firms might impose. And she was worried that if she took a job at a firm that was too small she might have to take on more than one job.
Hearing Percy’s invitation, Blair smiled at him and replied politely,
‘Thank you, Mr. Percy, but I’ll wait for the next one.”
Then she pressed the “UP” button of her elevator and continued to wait.
Percy gave her one more look and smiled. He didn’t insist, and simply let the elevator doors close, going up with Filberta.
Blair breathed a sigh of relief after the elevator was gone. Before long, the one she was waiting for came.
As soon as Blair reached her desk, Filberta said, “Blair, could you see me in my office?”
Blair put her breakfast on the desk and went to Filberta’s office.
The woman was paging through a file. Hearing the knock on the door, she didn’t look up.
