"Really? No plastic surgery? Let me check that face of yours!"
Ruby Carter said as she reached out to grab Elena Finnegan's face, but Elena deftly dodged and said with a firm voice, "We've just met, the first day as colleagues, and you want to rip each other's faces off?"
There were passers-by nearby, staring at Ruby Carter to see how she'd make a fool of herself, embarrassing her into finally backing off.
But she was merciless with her words, "Someone as low as you doesn't deserve to be my colleague!"
With that, she strutted off towards the outdoor parking lot with a triumphant sway of her hips.
Meanwhile, outside, the snow was still falling.
It seemed to be getting heavier.
Like blooming buds, dense and splendid, they opened brilliantly in the sky, adorning the world with resplendent whiteness...
Elena Finnegan didn't let the incident with Ruby Carter affect her mood.
She stood under the eaves, quietly admiring the pure white snow for a while.
