80 Uninvited Tensions and Awkward Encounters
The morning sun streamed through the floor–to–ceiling windows of Emma’s spacious, modern office. The light danced on the sleek surfaces, casting a warm glow over the room. Emma was deep in conversation with Jada, her trusted assistant and friend, meticulously planning the day’s schedule. The calm, focused atmosphere was disrupted as Inga, Emma’s colleague known for her brashness, barged in unannounced. The door swung open with a thud, echoing through the room.
“Ever heard of knocking?” Emma’s voice was calm but carried an edge of irritation as she looked up from her desk, which was adorned with neatly organized documents and a sleek, high–tech laptop.
Inga, caught off guard by Emma’s directness, felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her. Her cheeks flushed a deep crimson, contrasting sharply with her stylish business attire. “I just forgot to knock. Is it worth making such a big deal about it? I’ll remember next time,” she retorted, trying to mask her discomfort with a dismissive wave of her hand. She tossed a stack of documents onto Emma’s desk and turned to leave, her heels clicking sharply against the polished wooden floor.
The documents, however, had other plans. As Inga strode away, they seemed to leap from the table, fluttering in the air before striking her back and cascading to the floor. The room fell eerily silent, the sound of the papers hitting the ground reverberating through the space. Jada and Emma remained too engrossed in their work to give the scene more than a glance.
“Don’t go too far. Just because you’re sitting in the vice president’s seat doesn’t make you any better!
‘Inga’s voice was laced with bitterness, her resentment palpable.
Jada, unable to contain her frustration with Inga’s attitude, chimed in with a sharp retort. “Quite the accomplishment, isn’t it? Why don’t you try being vice president then? If you’re not capable, stop whining here!” Her words were a mix of defense for Emma and annoyance at Inga’s constant jibes.

Inga, perceiving the VP position as rightfully hers until Emma’s unexpected ascent, felt a surge o envy. “We’ll see how long you can keep that position. Just having good looks won’t cement your place. Lack of expertise, and you’ll be ousted anyway!” She spat out the words before storming out of the office, leaving the documents scattered on the floor, a testament to her hasty retreat.
Emma and Jada exchanged a knowing look, deciding to ignore the papers. It wasn’t until Jackson, another colleague, entered the room that someone finally acknowledged the documents strewn across the floor. Jackson, ever the mediator, carefully picked them up, although he wondered if leaving them as they were would have sent a stronger message to Inga..
