Mara's first day at work was better than Gray had expected.
She complained, of course, when Gray handed her a fat stack of files first thing in the morning.
"Really? You're giving me this on day one?" Mara's jaw fell to the ground as she pointed at the stack of folders on her desk.
"I just got here, Gray. What happened to easing me into the job? Orientation? Coffee?"
"You said this job is not that bad." Gray just gave her a look.
"Yeah, I said that, but it doesn't mean I'm suicidal."
But despite the complaints, she got to work. Her complaints were more of a bark than a bite. Gray also knew her well enough not to take them seriously.
Mara settled into the vacant desk they had cleared out for her near his office. With a coffee on her desk, she started flipping through the pages with focus.
She thought that since it was her first work, then might as well be good.
