Chapter 8 Late Again

• [AVA]
• I couldn't remember the last time I had sweated so profusely. There were visible sweat stains under my arms, and I silently thanked myself for choosing a black office shirt on my first day. The thought of enduring stares if anyone noticed my nervousness was unbearable. By reacting this way, I was practically giving Brian a reason to suspect that I had done something wrong. Well, I had, by sleeping with him, but he didn't know about it, right?
• So why did he look so angry? And why was his immediate request for me to come to his office? Nothing made sense. I couldn't fathom how I could have messed up so quickly. Did Ms. Olsen have a hand in this? Did she inform Brian that I didn't deserve to be here, making a compelling argument for my dismissal? Did he call me into his office to personally express his regret in recommending me and his desire to see me gone?
