Early in the morning, Anastasija enters the anteroom of Mayor Domitian's office for the first time in a week. To her surprise, the Mayor and Leytenant Popov are already standing in the anteroom and discussing various plans for the ongoing exercise, so both of them just noticed her when she has already sat down at her desk.
Ahh, Ms. Novikova, Anastasija, I am glad to see you again. I hope you are well again and can now fully devote yourself to your work here in the office, replis Mayor Domitian with a smile after he'd registered that Anastasija had entered the office. Only Leytenant Popov did not seem to be happy, although with him it is also extremely difficult to judge whether he ever feels anything or lets some of his feelings get out.
I am also happy to be here again Mayor Domitian. And yes, I'm feeling much better again, thanks for asking. In the last few days I had such a severe headache and just felt extremely uncomfortable that I was unfortunately unable to support you in your planning.
While Anastasija uttered these words, the Mayor watched her without taking an eye away from her. He was up to something, but he was still holding back.
Well, Anastasija, I would still be happy if you had a short 5 minutes for me after work. Just you and me of course. It's about something official and I want that to be done as quickly as possible. Is that okay for you?
Anastasija felt a little queasy, but she couldn't refuse Domitian's offer. She finally had to take a step forward to escape this situation. She has to fight her way out of it and take all her courage together. She didn't know how, but she replied with complete calm:
Of course, Comrade Mayor, if you would excuse me now. I still have to work through a few files that were left behind from last week.
With a smug smile that Anastasija couldn't explain herself, she walked past the Mayor in the direction of her filing cabinet, but could not leave behind the thought that tonight, after her shift, it might be all or nothing.
