The rain was pouring heavily outside. The drop were hitting the kitchen window.
Melina Yán, young engineer and the company lapdog, was preparing herself to present the biggest project of her life for which she has been working months on. She hoped that this could help her get the promotion she was long awaiting for and raise her social rank among her peers.
Half dressed with only a black pant, half a toast in her mouth, she was hastily running around in her studio apartment.
getting prepared for this special day.
Where is my bus card? I thought I left it on my bedside table...
Oh it was on the floor after all it must have dropped.
Is that the water from the kitchen faucet that I am hearing or the rain. It's definitely the rain.
Melina took the white blouse laying on her bed and put it on her back. With her black pants she really did have the white collar looks, the only thing missing was the tie.
Melina was a mechanical engineer and graduated 4 years ago from McGill university.
The young woman was since then employed in a medical robotic firm.
While she was skilled for her age, she was often relegated to background administrative task that often were not up to her field of expertise. The company was prosperous and she thought that she could raise trough the rank and do innovative work, what she has always wanted.
This day has finally came and she was going to show a preliminary design for a new model of surgeon robot capable of performing most open heart surgery with more autonomy, adaptability and precision than others robot in the industry.
Melina took a last look in the mirror.
She was not a pure beauty but she has been told her face was agreable to look at.
Her curly black hair were made into a cute bun. Some light makeup to complete the look. She applied some gloss on her natural pink lips and her big dark eyes really gave her this doll look.
"You rock! Breath in, breath out. This promotion is getting closer and closer every day."
She smiled to herself feelings confident

As she was entering the office, a voice called her.
"Melina!"
Yuni Leng
Tall and beautiful. Pitch dark auburn hair, lower back lenght, green almond eyes, small button nose and heart shaped lips. She had the gait of a fairy and certainly looked like one.
Yuni excitedly took Melina hand and exclaimed.
Yuni Leng – "Good luck for today, I know you worked so hard. I am so happy for you, you deserve this"
Melina gently smiled.
Melina Yán – "Thank you Yuni"
Yuni Leng – "Let's have a bubble tea after work to celebrate that"
Yuni was her colleague, they met a few years ago as they were both hired at the firm around the same time.
Yuni was the complete opposite of Melina in term of social status and look.
Not only was she beautiful and smart, she was considered a genius, she also had this kindness and softness that charmed everyone hearts.
As she was going away, Yuni Leng turned around with a soft smile and said
"Also, could you bring me a coffee please. The usual, you always do it so well"
Melina Yán – "Ah, ye..."
Before Melina could even answer, she gracefully continued on her path the sound of her high heels clutching on the floor.
Truly she was a breath of fresh hair.
