When Diana opened her eyes in the morning it was almost 9 o’clock. She
overslept, because she had not got a wink of sleep almost all night and drowsed off
only at sunrise. Her mood matched the weather outside that was very depressing.
She took a quick shower, dressed up, and hurried to work without breakfast.
Although she had been thinking all night she didn’t make a decision what line of
behavior to take. The best way was to pretend as if nothing had happened. She
hoped to slip to her cubicle unnoticed but at that very moment her mobile rang and
Silvia asked her to come to Mr. Robinson’s office. Diana had nothing to do, but to
face the reality. When she entered the office Silvia told her that a message was left
for her by Mr. Robinson who had gone to Chicago. Diana couldn’t refrain from
sighing with relief when she heard the news. On her boss desk Diana found a short
memo which read as follows:

Please read the contract and make amendments where necessary. I’ll get in
Next to it there was a printed copy of the contract. She also noticed a name
with a telephone number written on the calendar. That was it. She tried to
memorize the number and went quickly to her working place. She left the contract
on her desk and hurried downstairs out of the building. Five minutes later she was
sitting in a cafe, dialing a number.
