alt_percyRather a horrid day.
I made my first mistake at work. Well, I'm not sure if it was my first mistake, really, but Mr Malfoy was most put out. A meeting location had been changed, rather at the last minute, but one of the board members did not get the word on time and so showed up at the initial location. Did I misdirect her owl? I am not sure if that was the problem, or if she simply missed it or even ignored it until it was too late. And of course, I can't exculpate myself by saying that.
It was quite a dreadful feeling, to receive that crushing little note from him. In that elegant handwriting. I had so hoped that I could continue to make a good impression.
I don't know whether to feel grateful that with the weekend I won't be seeing him for a couple days, or whether it makes it worse. I'm liable to brood over my error, which will make facing him again on Monday only worse.
I hate hate HATE looking ridiculous.
