What Leave Did She Take

Serenity had been waiting for nearly an hour in the reception room of Hufford Bank. On the other side of the glass wall, the bank's staff were still providing customer service diligently.

Her waiting time was the longest but it gave enough time for her anxiety to calm down.

She picked up her glass and found that it was empty. After a few minutes, the receptionist walked in and wanted to refill her water. She asked, "When will President Linde be available?"

The receptionist found this woman too stubborn. The former had made herself clear just now about President Linde's availability but here this woman was, still asking the same question. The receptionist's tone was a little unpleasant as she said, "President Linde doesn't have time for you today."

"Then what about tomorrow?" Serenity refused to give up.

"Not tomorrow either," said the receptionist.

"Then when is he free?" asked Serenity.
