Mandy
66
6Three years. Three long years you've been stuck in this job, working in the storeroom. Three years of sorting mail, delivering packages, handling stationary orders, and generally being invisible. Holiday parties come and go, and no one thinks to mention them to you.
Until she comes along. Mandy. You come into work one day, resigned to another long day in the shadows. Your department head is waiting for you, and introduces you to Mandy, your new assistant...and his daughter. She's much younger than your 38 years. You're under no illusion though, you know she's going to be given your job in a few months once she knows the role inside out.
The first few weeks, you're almost openly hostile towards her, speaking to her only to explain the various tasks.
After some time, you find yourself easing up in your feelings. It's not her fault, after all.
One day, about 6 months in, you sign in and find her already waiting for you..
