I thought I would never survive that ring incident. Those aunties added 30% more to my ring budget. But Leng looked very happy wearing it. I suppose it was worth it after all.

The Director called me in today. Told me I was doing a good job, that I was very hardworking, that I had a lot of talent, and other compliments I’ve never heard, not in such quantities in all my years at the bank. Then silence. “But,” he said.

I knew where this was going.

I knew even before he said “But”.
