It wasn't as if she was going to get promoted or anything. Maybe it was just to.. Talk. Oh god no. If the woman just wanted to have her in her office for a few hours to have a "good old yarn" then Alyss was quitting. Small talk didn't generate well from her. It was like she'd be born without being able to keep truths that you weren't meant to bring up in a conversation in.

Eventually making up her mind, Alyss folded up the memo, placed it in the breast pocket of her shirt, raised the hand that the piece of parchment had just recently been in, and knocked on the door. Heck. The woman Ms. Vivaldi might even have good news. Like they'd invented a drug to cure all pessimists.
Sophia was really unsure if she was doing the right thing by this promotion. But the woman, according to her file, had been a good employee. Always on time, reliable, a hard worker, loyal. There were few other candidates who would have been a good find as this one.

Besides, the woman was on her way now so there was no backing out now. She couldn't just say 'I'm sorry, I was going to promote you but given your unhappy attitude towards me and the competition you present me with, I've changed my mind'. Nope; Sophia, no matter how much she wanted to do that, she couldn't.

And there it was... the knock she had been expecting.

Pretend she's not there? Tempting. Adjusting some papers spewed across her desk, she instead drew a deep breath.

"Come in please," she called through the wood.
