When Blanca began to turn away, someone bumped into her from behind. She lost her balance and fell to the ground. Her elbow hit the wall and suddenly she felt a pain. “Ouch!” she cried. Blanca lifted her head and saw a young woman holding a glass of water in front of her. To Blanca’s surprise, the young woman made no apology for what she had done. Instead, she sneered, “Who does this guy think she is? I hate this kind of people most. I can’t understand why they would sell themselves just for a job.” As soon as she said, everyone burst out laughing.
Blanca was now white with rage. She had got deep abrasions and bruising on the elbow, but she didn’t care about that. She picked up the papers on the ground and stood up. A faint smile played on her face. “Is that funny?” she said.
And the surprising thing was, the laughter of the crowd died away.
“Tell you the truth. You are right. I am here because I have a very close relationship with someone. If you’re not happy with it, you can resign right now,” Blanca said with a smile on her face. She put her hands on a table and leaned forward, looking at the middle-aged woman. “You guys worked here longer than I. I’m sure you all know its strict rules. If the chairman knows you work lazily and bully new colleague, do you have any idea what he is going to do with you?” said Blanca seriously. Her voice was quiet but every word was clearly heard.
The middle-aged woman’s face went white and said in alarm, “You, you’re not making any sense. No one is bullying you!”
