When Tragedy Hit
Emma
Dutifully marching on, I stepped onto the executive floor where my office
was, holding the usual two cups of coffee in my hands. Arriving at my desk,
I put down the cups, my purse and laptop bag, before checking the time.
Even though I had been working here a little over two years, I always gave
myself a little pat on the back for making it here at seven-thirty on the dot.

Making a good living and happy with my job, I was proud of my
reliability and ability to always make it in time to get everything ready
before my boss—the CEO of this multinational IT conglomerate—before
his arrival at eight o’clock sharp. Dean Allen, too, was known for his
punctuality and professionalism. We were the perfect match for working
together.
As I launched my laptop, I took a sip of my coffee and thought about
Agnes, his old personal assistant who had retired when I took over. I smiled
as I remembered the first thing the elderly woman had said to me. “It’s no
secret that Dean is a bit of an introvert. But when it comes to work, he can
be ruthless. Always polite, of course, but he doesn’t tolerate a slacker.
Always be on time, always be on top of things, and you’ll soon find that he’s
an incredible boss.”
Ever since that day, I had taken her advice to heart. Being a Virgo, I was
organized, hardworking and highly efficient. Despite the fact that I had only
applied with little over three years of experience, Agnes had seen my
potential during the interview and recommended me highly.
And now, I knew the ins and outs of my boss’ mind—well, at least when
it came to business. Picking up his cup of coffee, shielded by its insulating
cover to keep hot, I opened the door to his office and stepped inside.
But I stopped in my tracks at the sight of the scene before my eyes.
Wearing yesterday’s clothes with the tie loosened around his neck, Dean
was lying on the sofa with his hand splayed over his eyes. I froze for a
moment, surprised by the novel situation. Was I supposed to wake him up?
Or quietly walk in, place the coffee on his desk and leave?
“Come on in, Emma. I’m awake,” I heard him whisper, ending my brief
dilemma.
“Oh—Good morning, Mr. Allen.” I took a step closer, looking away as if
to give him a chance to get up. Much to my surprise, he didn’t lift a finger.
“Do I smell coffee?” he said in the same defeated tone.
“Um—Yes. Should I—”
“Yes, please.” Without opening his eyes, he extended his hand in the air
for me to hand him the cup. As soon as I put it against his palm, he clutched
it and sat up, lowering his feet sans shoes onto the floor. I glanced down to
see his shiny Italian shoes tossed carelessly next to the sofa. “Thank you.”
He didn’t look up. Instead, he hung his head and lifted the cup up to his
nose, taking a big whiff.
