Chapter 2 - Part 2.

All of Édua's colleagues watched the steps of the man in the suit with suspicious eyes, which is why his footsteps in the store did not let up even after two hours had passed.

Whatever he looks at, the disgusting taste of bile from his stomach contents begins to spread in his mouth. The whole store could go to the scrapyard as it is, but his superior wants to save the place at all costs, so he was sent to dig up the toy from the ground. He would prefer to film at home with his one-eyed cat Mr. Fluffy, with whom they hold a movie night every Saturday night. You'll have a lot of work to do with this shop, but maybe if you can beat it, you'll be able to move up the ranks. He definitely wanted to remove something from there, the grinning girl standing behind the cash register at the entrance. Simply, her whole being irritated and repulsed him with her excessively positive radiance. Still, it did not escape his attention - although she has an irritating radiance - that she attracts all eyes with her charming beauty.

Édua was overcome by a strange feeling no matter how often the man ventured near her, a strange anxiety began to take over her. She was terribly disturbed by the situation, as she never used to feel this way, there was no other person in her life with whom she felt anxious. You know, it's better to avoid the man, because he can bring her trouble.

- Thank you, my dear, take care of yourself dear - thanked the 85 year old aunt Marika, who is only seen shopping in the store when Édua is inside.

- Don't joke, the least I can do is pack the products into the bag for our favorite customer - Édi waved with his right hand.

The old lady was right, as she was finally able to go home. She handed the cash register to her changing colleague, who gave Édua sad looks as she was going home. She went back to the dressing room to get her bag from the locker, but the man in the suit was waiting for her outside the dressing room.

- Good day, Marcell Kovács, I'm the new area manager - he confidently extended his right hand to the girl, which she reciprocated with a smile.

Édua did not understand why the man's presence caused her tension, she had never experienced this with anyone before, the fear of the unknown slowly made its way into her mind.

- Edua Kiss, cashier and goods loader - she answered the man automatically, while trying not to break eye contact.

- I know, it wasn't by chance that I waited for you. The cash register itself has the longest time, which means it is slow. I expect my employees to give one hundred percent, you have one month to improve your time by ten percent! - the man didn't look like he was joking, he firmly pulled himself out and examined the girl with darkened eyes.

- I have not received any complaints, in fact, if you ask anyone, both customers and employees, everyone will consider me the best employee! Customers love me, my colleagues don't want to work on days when I'm not in, I give more than one hundred percent! And if you'll excuse me now, I'd like to go home, I'm not obliged to stay here outside of working hours if you don't announce the meeting in advance! Goodbye! - for the first time in Édua's life, she was a jerk with a stranger, no one could ever get her out of her rut.

She ran into the dressing room and hurried home. When she got home, as soon as she entered her room, she immediately threw herself on the bed. Feelings swirled in her that she had never experienced before. The question that was mostly in her mind was, why did that man upset her so much? Many times they tried to provoke her by humiliating her, but she was always able to handle it calmly, if only because it annoyed the haters even more. It was enough for this man to speak once, and Édua felt like her head would explode. She had an intuition that unpleasant situations would arise at her workplace as a result.
