right now! Laura just applied for a new job in the production department.
She has an interview on Monday. She has to fix this right away!
Laura looks at her friends. She holds up her
mobile
. ‘Hey, guys,’ she
says, ‘I’ll be right back. I need to make a work call.’
‘Oh, come on, Laura,’ says Raj. ‘you’re always working …’
Raj is right, Laura,’ Sophie adds.
‘I know – I know …’ says Laura. ‘But I got a message from the director.
And she’s not happy.’
Laura goes over to some nearby trees. It is evening and it’s getting dark.
The trees are very tall. She can hardly see anything.
Laura calls her office. She speaks with another administrative assistant.
The assistant asks her to wait for the director.
While she is waiting, Laura looks around. Suddenly she notices
something. Among the trees, there is a
strange light! Laura puts away her
mobile as she goes over to the light.
The light is coming from a beautiful
metal ball
. Laura has never seen
anything like it! The ball is covered with patterns. She reaches out to touch
it. The metal is cold. It actually feels nice.
Laura picks up the ball. Then, as suddenly as it started, the light
goes out
.
The ball feels very strange in her hand. It’s almost too cold. Laura doesn’t
like the feeling. She drops the ball. Then she goes back to the barbecue.
Laura approaches her friends. They are talking about her. ‘Laura should
turn her mobile off at the weekend,’ Raj says.
‘I agree,’ Sophie adds. ‘It’s not good to work so much. The body and
mind need quiet. She needs to
relax
sometimes.’
Laura walks up. ‘Are you guys talking about me?’ she says, laughing.
‘OK! OK! I’m ready to relax!’
Raj and Sophie say nothing. Raj checks a problem with the barbecue.
Laura’s friends
