My stomach dropped “Someone complained?”

“My father ine why else they’d call”

Andi responded, but only loud enough forother than cos called coet thee plastic panel on the side of the machine closed and stood beside me

“Hi, Val So nice of you to stay late to help Zara bring all your copies to your office” She hefted one of the stacks in her arrasp

Valerie yelped and teetered, nearly toppling over

“They’re insanely heavy, you should drop those off asap” Andi turned her by the shoulders and showed her out of the copy room as collated packets slid off the top of her stack

“Don’t let her get to you I’m always here for back up”

Without Andi, I’d have lost e, saying and doing the things I couldn’t because I needed this job

“Thanks for savingI shouldn’t”

“Oh, you most definitely should”

“Not when I’ve got soposition” I lifted the second stack

“Don’t let them walk all over you”
