If I had been early yesterday, today I clocked in exactly on time using the biometrics. I was determined to seriously avoid that guy starting today. I focused entirely on my tasks, making sure my work was flawless. I didn't bring lunch again. Since nothing in the canteen appealed to me, I just snacked on banana chips and drank some juice. "Aren't you going to eat any rice?" my colleagues asked. "No. I don't really like the dishes today, and I'm not that hungry yet." I was actually feeling a bit queasy. I figured my period was probably about to start, which explained the discomfort. After the lunch break, I returned to my cubicle only to find a single red rose lying on my desk. Huh? Where did this come from? There was no note, so I had no way of knowing who sent it. I didn't talk to any
