| told Theo about this when | returned hthat night.
However, | did not share Queenie's and Florence's names with him. All | told him was that Sandra had defended
me.
There was no discernible expression on Theo's face after he heard what | had to say, and he said calmly, "Just
because she spoke up for you doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing.”
| did not understand what he was hinting at and tilted my head to look at him. "Theo, you don't think Director
Tyler is a good person?"
The man shook his head. Then, worried that | might overthink things, he explained, "Director Tyler is talented,
and | admire her. | just don't want you to trust someone simply because they did you a small favor."
| smiled when | heard his explanation. "Got it. | understand what you mean. | just felt embarrassed about the
way we were so suspicious and interrogated her previously."

"How about this? I'll increase her pay after she has completed the events scheduled for next week. What do you
think?"
"Alright," | agreed.
Since that counted as compensation, | felt much better about things.
"How are you feeling today?" Theo changed the subject. He cared more about how | felt than he did about other
people.
| gave him an 'OK' sign. "Everything's fine. I've clarified everything | don't understand, and things will go even
smoother tomorrow." "My wife is so smart and talented. I'm sure she can shine like a star whenever she goes."
Theo complimentedlanguidly as the corners of his lips curled upward into a bright smile.
| looked up at him and saw the affection in his eyes. "That's enough. People are going to call you a potter
praising his pots."
"Nothing to be afraid of since my wife is so talented."
With Theo's encouragement, | becmore and more comfortable with my job every passing day. | could even
notice tiny systemic mistakes from tto time. That cas a delightful surprise to Sandra.
The first t| attended a departmental meeting, Sandra praised and recognized my work.
"Wanda might be new to the job, but
she's attentive to details and was able to spot system errors before even a week had passed. That's truly
admirable. | hope everyone will learn from her, and | believe our project will be a success."
Everyone applaudedthe minute she finished speaking, and that madefeel slightly bashful. "Mutual
communication is the way to go about things. It'll be difficult for our project not to succeed when we have a
director as responsible as Director Tyler and such esteemed colleagues working on it."
"Well said."
| thanked Sandra when the meeting ended. "Thank you for believing in me, Director."

Sandra smiled. "You did well, so of course, | believe in you."
| returned to my desk. The job might seem simple and plain, but in my opinion, every job brought value to the
table. It was simply a matter of whether the employee could achieve that or not.
As for myself, | aspired to carry out clerical tasks to the best of my ability. | would deem myself to have
succeeded when | could not only organize data but also make constructive suggestions to the team.
I was full of motivation, yet | kept getting set up.
A departmental emergency meeting was held that afternoon. Data errors had caused the tests ran that morning
to fail, meaning plenty of thad gone down the drain. | was the person in charge of that data.
| frowned and muttered to myself, "That doesn't seem right. | cross-checked the data multiple times. How could
there be an error?"
"Wanda, you're human, not a robot. It's only natural that mistakes were made. But that's alright as long as you're
willing to own up to it. However, this mistake is pretty severe and will delay the project's progress."
Queenie's hypocrisy was no doubt rubbing salt into my wound. I looked at her...
