Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Like this morning, you were pretty helpful with printing those documents, right? Just take it easy."

Lizetta was torn between giving Laura the benefit of the doubt, considering perhaps she hadn't had a chance to delegate tasks to her, and the creeping suspicion that Laura was singling her out. After all, she couldn't help but notice, from the snippets of office chatter, that not every newcomer was treated this way.

Laura's smile tightened momentarily before she managed to regain her composure.

"Of course, it's my duty to look after new hires. It's great to have enthusiasm, but there's no need to rush.
