Part VIII “Come in.”
Sally opened the door and entered Une’s office. Her superior turned from the window. She gestured for Sally to have a seat. “Hello, Sally,” Une said as she settled back behind her desk. “I take it that this is not a social visit.” “No, it’s not. I want another assignment.” Une studied her for a moment. “I must admit that I have been waiting for this.” “You have?” “I realize what a difficult partner Wufei can be. May I ask what prompted this?” “He doesn’t trust me,” Sally said. “Therefore, I can’t trust him.” “I understand.” Une pulled up a file on her computer, scanning the information quickly. “You’ll have to work alone for a time until I can find partners for each of you.” “I understand.” Sally rose to her feet. “I would ask that Wufei not be told of this until the new partners are available.” Une frowned. “If you think that is best, Sally.” “I do.” “Very well.” She watched as Sally opened the door. “He isn’t going to like this.” Sally paused. “I know,” she said quietly. Without glancing back, she left the office. |
