In the evening, Veronica changed into her uniform in the changing room and began her duty shift as usual.
She first gathered the riot squad on duty for a tour around the core area and the workshops, then proceeded to the inmates' canteen to supervise the prisoners' mealtime after their work detail.
Having been transferred to work as a prison guard for nearly a month, she had become quite adept at her job.
"Veronica, have you had dinner yet?" Her colleague Isabella came over and whispered a greeting, "Let's have dinner together later."
"Sure," Veronica agreed.
"It feels rather uncomfortable to supervise prisoners eating on an empty stomach. I was planning to have dinner before coming over for the night shift." Isabella chatted with her, "But then I ran into a colleague from Block Two on the way here, and she told me that there was 'spicy hot pot' in the canteen today, so I came straight over."
