❄Suaviter in modo, fortiter in re❄| ⚕=equivalent exchange=⚕ | pinned ya! Oh, hey. Eliza was late. She was perfectly aware that she was. It was a shame, really if it haven't been for bad luck following her around that morning. Stopping at the door of the Conference Room, she smoothed her hair first and whilst she did so, the succession of unfortunate events came back to her - actually, she had been at their floor earlier on, an hour early for the meeting in fact so she decided to clean her desk first but in so process, accidentally hit the cup of tea she got for herself with her elbow. It spilled on her skirt, and due to surprise, she jumped on the spot resulting to a broken heel.
It was quite a start, really. But everything was okay now. She got herself cleaned up and had fixed her shoe. The only thing was that she wasn't sure if their Department Head was going to buy her reasons.
"Better find out for yourself." She whispered so that only she could hear.
Sighing, the brunette stepped inside and grimaced slightly upon seeing Ms. Schultz already there. Just as expected.. "Good morning, maa'm. I apologize for coming in late." Where were her reasons? Locked up. Because as soon as she spoke up, she felt that she was only going to make a fool of herself if she still presented the cause of her tardiness so...off to a seat it was.
