Eavesdropping on conversation was unethical, and Electra knew that all too well. Yet, in order to preserve her dignity, she liked to think that there were certain exceptions to that rule. For example, if the speakers are nearby you and their volume is loud enough that it is audible to you, then it should be no surprise that you naturally hear what they are discussing. Upon arriving to that conclusion, the young woman listened intently as she stocked the shelves of the general store -- apparently, there has been rumors of someone robbing businesses late at night when employees and customers are absent, and they have been getting away with it. ‘Nonsense,’ she thought incredulously, ‘I would’ve heard about it if that were the case.’ The only other explanation was that it just occurred... maybe, but... unlikely.
Finished with her task, she disregarded the customers and walked in the opposite direction of them in the aisle. She turned sharply around the corner and almost collided with another person prior to her swiftly stepping aside beyond their course of action. Thankfully, their bodies never met, especially since the person was none other than her boss. “I am so sorry about that, Mr. Silverstein! I wasn’t watching where I was going.”
“Actually, I’m glad I found you. I finished stocking the shelves as you requested -- what else are you wanting me to do? I am ready to work. ♪“ She smiled, brushing her hands together in preparation of another job to keep her busy and not think of other matters, including miscellaneous work and sleeping. “Also, how are you?“ Electra sincerely asked, since she hadn’t seen him since she got there.
