Amy looked at the medicine soup, and she was quite thirsty now, so she reached to it and drank it all.
"It tasted good, and do you have more?" Amy wiped her mouth, and she felt better after drinking this soup-like medicine. Or she would need to ask for a leave from work today.
"Yes, I do. You can come downstairs to have more." It was the first time that Robin had seen someone asking for more medicine.
"No problem." Amy felt very well now, and she walked to the restroom, looking at herself from the mirror. Her face was red, the color of an apple, and she thought that she maybe had a fever.
'No way.' Seeing red face, everyone would think that she was still drunk. So she put a thick makeup on her face and now her face was not red anymore. But she didn't know that she looked very pale now with her face extremely white.
After this, Amy put on a pink dress, and tied her hair into a ponytail. Now she looked very cold and strict.
She went downstairs, and Robin was frightened by her face, but he dared not to say anything, because he thought that maybe this was in fashion now. He never understood what the young people loved.
"Amy, do you still go to work today?" Robin asked carefully.
He saw that Amy couldn't even walk straight, so he was worried about her.
"Yes. I can't ask for one more leave now, and it's not easy for me to get this job." Amy said. Because of her, two people were fired, and the whole company now must be gossiping.
"That is right, and it is good for you to continue working." Robin thought that Amy was a nice lady who had her own ambition.
After the breakfast, Amy went to work by bus on her own. As usual, she got off the bus earlier, so she could walk to HD Group.
She went into the office right on time, but very weirdly, Richard seemed to be late today.
'Mr. Carter didn't show up today, and he's always right on time. So why was he late for work?'
Amy cleaned the office, and also made a cup of coffee for him, but he still didn't show up.
Amy was bored, and she had no work to do because of Richard's absence, so she was walking around the office freely.
"Amy, come! I brought you some snacks!" Hannah talked to Amy at the front door.
She brought a huge pack of snacks for Amy, but she couldn't tell Amy that all these snacks were sent by Andy. Andy gave them a pack of snacks, respectively.
"Wow, those are my favorite! Thank you, Hannah." Amy took all the snacks happily.
"Amy, do you want to come and visit the Sales Department? I heard that Mr. Carter would not come to work today, because his ex-girlfriend was coming back from abroad. They broke up three years ago. So, Mr. Carter is going to win her back. You know, his ex-girlfriend! Maybe they are making out in bed now." Hannah shared this rumor with Amy.
Amy heard that Mr. Carter's ex-girlfriend was coming back, and she suddenly felt unhappy.
"Let's go, Amy." Hannah didn't realize what Amy was feeling.
Amy also stopped herself from being unhappy, and it had nothing to do with her even if Mr. Carter's girlfriend came back. Why would she feel unhappy?
"Alright, let's go then. I have no work to do right now." Amy shook her head, and then followed Hannah to the Sales Department.
"Too late now! Amy was not single, and maybe you can wait in line." Hannah said to that man in a funny way.
And then came another burst of laughter.
Suddenly, the laughter stopped, and a man stood by the door. Everyone dared not to say anything.
"Amy, I think you should know where your office is." Richard said coldly.
All the people in the Sales Department were frightened, so they kept silent.
Richard saw a man whose arm was behind Amy's chair, and he felt very uncomfortable.
"Mr. Carter, you are back. I am coming back to the office right now." Amy put down the coffee and stood up hurriedly, while Richard looked around the people and left.
"Oh my god, Amy, it's my fault. Now Mr. Carter found that you were not in the office, so he will definitely punish you for this." Hannah knew that Mr. Carter was very strict to Amy.
"That is fine. I am leaving now, and I will come visit you next time." Amy said goodbye to others.
"Amy, be careful. Just keep silent no matter what Mr. Carter said. Hopefully in this way, he will not be so mad." Everyone was worried about Amy, while Amy was very happy to see that so many people cared about her.
"I know. Thanks, and bye." Amy said goodbye again and then left in a hurry. But she bumped into someone outside the department.
