jibber jabber, monotone voices, and fake laughter of females trying to appeal to fellow male coworkers; it was all noise to her. the stretch of the hallway just seemed to get longer and longer, the workers on the sidelines only lowering their voices when her presence emerged in visibility and walked past them. she walked with an aura of power, and ultimately didn’t really care about how they viewed her. she was their superiority in all actually, so the rumours that spread about her could be taken as legitimate for all she cared. sometimes it was fun to play the big bad wolf, she didn’t have to worry about being screwed over or stepped on. no, she would never allow that.
she would never allow that to happen to a friend either-- a legitimate friend that is. for someone who could be as cruel as her it was almost like seeing sunshine on a rainy day when her behaviour was genuine and sincere with an individual. and maybe that was another reason people were staring at her as her heels treaded the maroon flooring of the corporation; besides her was another female, hani’s height making her take the shorter counterpart despite the both of them showcasing heels. the more significance of this scenario wasn’t the fact that she was seen actually outside of her office for once, but for the observation that she seemed to have an innocent interest in the second party: joy, as she was nicknamed to.
her face stayed consistent with positive expressions, wavering between smiles embraced of laughter and snickers at the comments of distaste she would make. you know, distaste at some of the things and people in the room she was telling joy about. “that over there is where they go for the water dispenser.” notice how she said they, it was an obvious separation of herself and the associates of this company. “there’s actually an employee room around the corner and down the hall, but, i thought the cliche giant blue water cooler would be a fun touch to incorporate too.”
and off the pair went, hani’s comments ranging from ‘see that guy over there? he’ll try to hit on you but he has a girlfriend. poor girl is oblivious,’ to ‘this entire block section are quality workers,’ which were remarks that could be heard by anyone in a decent ranged distance, her intent of hiding what she had to say, whether positive or negative being nonexistent. “if anyone tries to pull a fast one on you, let me know. i got you your own office cleared and set up for you near mine, it has luxury accommodations and everything, should we set the room up together? miss financial manager.”
