Her meeting with her boss had left her fuming. Megaera sat violently in front of her desk, and her coworkers knew it was better to leave her alone. She stared at the computer screen, infuriated, unable to think about anything, her thoughts blocked by the fury. She only left that state when a pen she was holding tightly broke, leaving her hand full of thick black ink.
-Goddamnit! What else?- she said rising from her chair and heading to the bathroom.
It was early morning, and as she passed in front of the office kitchen she saw how her boss was sitting down on a table, sharing coffee with one of the supervisors. A stab of rage went through her heart. She pushed the bathroom door, violently, and it slammed against the wall.
-Calm down, you're not going anywhere with this attitude.- she told herself, yet it was hard.
Megaera placed her stained hands under the sink and let the warm water soak them. Some of the ink immediately ran off, but there were dark stains everywhere. She took some of the liquid hand soap from the dispenser next to the mirror, and paused to look at herself. Her eyes were wild, and her hair was all over the place. Breathing slowly she washed her hands meticulously. Again and again, until her skin was red from all the rubbing but there was no trace of ink.
Before leaving the bathroom, she did her breathing ritual once more. "It will pass" she thought "he doesn't deserve you being mad like this".
However, it didn't pass. During the whole morning, the mere sight of him made a voice inside of her scream in anger, and the sound of his voice was the most annoying sound on earth. By lunch time she had decided she needed to get even, she would have her revenge.
