Although Emma looked graceful in her flirty floral surplice
dress that flounced below the waist, everyone could hear her coming down the
hall. She walked fast and she walked loud. Thump, clump, thump, was the sound
she made promenading from her desk to the copy machine. “Here comes Emma” was
on the minds of her co-workers. Co-workers were then greeted by Emma with a
cheerful grin and a bubbly “good morning, how was your weekend?” as she passed
by.
Emma had only worked in her new role as assistant to the Community
Outreach Director for 3 months, but she was the best candidate of the
twenty-four that had applied. She was thrilled when she was offered the
position and hoping this was the beginning of a new career. It did not take long to before Emma was part
of the work family, she fit in so easily and they felt as if she was their
daughter.
The office was buzzing, and everyone was so happy when they
received Emma’s group text message: “Alex asked me to marry him last night! I
am still in disbelief.” The picture boasted her boyfriend Alex bent down on one
knee, looking up at Emma who was beaming while her face bore amazement and
excitement.
