The Story (Part 2)

Soon, minutes seemed like hours. She had never done anything so sneaky like this before in her entire life. In fact, she had already regretted her decision to stay back that evening as all hundred and one things she could have otherwise done flashed across her mind. Yet, her curiosity had apparently glued her to the spot beneathe her desk, which was actually at a distant corner in the room. Nobody would figure there was a young lass hiding below her own desk after office hours. However, if she were ever caught, it would be unthinkable what kind of things would befall her and her future. She really felt stupid but I think she was pretty brave! (My kind of girl!!)

Anyway, of course, the Director came back to work as usual. A tall and tanned gentleman, and rather solemn-looking one. (Maybe that's the thing with after-office hours shifts: there was nobody to greet him, make him smile or get him angry.) The gal crept out from below her desk and tried to look at her mysterious boss. He would not be able to see her with his back at an angle to her. Besides, she was very clever to have chosen the perfect spot to observe him from. Under the silhouete, she was very well camouflaged. Unless, she ...... sneezed!
