I walk into Martinez Enterprises with Sandra. She shakes her head as we enter the mail room. "You should be at home."

I put my bag behind the desk and look over at her. "I can't miss the fireworks at ten. After that I will go home if that makes you happy."

"Promise me you'll take it easy?"

I shake my head. "I can't promise that. The guys on the top floor won't be happy if I don't deliver their mail."

"You are the only person I know that they allow on that floor. How did you manage that?"

I shrug. "I just hit that floor number yesterday and dropped the mail off. Cody wasn't happy about it though. I doubt he'd mind me going up there today."

"You look terrible. Are you sure you want the bosses to see you like that?"

I haven't had the chance to look in the mirror yet. I'm afraid of what I look like.

Sandra pulls out her mirror and shows me my face. My right eye is purple, my cheek has a small scratch from a ring. I move the mirror away. "Can you please fix it? I don't want Cody to see this."

Sandra pulls out foundation and applies it, covering the bruises for me. "That's the best I can hide it from, Cody."

Sandra and I are sorting out the mail.

When I come across letters for the girls that hurt me last night I give them to Sandra. I want her to deal with them. I walk out the door and I crash into Margot.

Margot smirks. "Don't you look pretty today?"

I walk around her.

The bottom floor of workers were looking for a cat fight between sixteen and pregnant and I. Well I refuse to give them the show they want. They will get a show in thirty minutes.

I better head up stairs and drop off the mail to Cody, dad and Dick.

The lift door opens and I step inside.

Sasha steps into the lift. "You are still going to top floor?"

I nod.

"I thought we taught you a lesson when it comes to hurting Cody."

I sigh. "I didn't hurt Cody. What happened yesterday was I got my first kiss and it was from Cody. I ran from the room from embarrassment. Now, what you did last night makes Margot, Marley and you look stupid."

The door opens on the top floor. I push the trolley out of the lift. I turn to her before the door closes and say. "Stay away from me."

Dick stands up and walks over to me. "What happened to you?" He touches my face.

I push him away. "Don't touch me." I pull out the mail for him. "These are for you."

He takes them from me. "Your father is going to be told about this. I knew this was going to be a bad idea."

I shake my head. "I've learned a lot from this experience.

Dick and I sit on the couch. "I want to hear about your first day."

"My car had a dead battery, I had to walk an hour to work, I met tall, broad and gloomy, I got into my first confrontation with a girl from this office, I hacked into the computers to teach the bitch a lesson, I got my first kiss, I got kidnapped, I got punched in the face and kicked in the stomach and finally I spent the night in the ER. "

"Mr Martinez won't be happy with all that stuff happening to you on your first day."

I shrug. "I'm experiencing the real world like he wants. There's going to be bullying everywhere you go. After ten I believe there will be a rule about workplace bullying."

Dick laughs. "'You did something. Again didn't you?"

I look at the time. "I have fifteen minutes to get back downstairs. I want to see the drama unfold."

I push the trolley to Cody's room and knock on the door.

"Come in, Daniela." I open the door and walk in.

He smiles at me. "What do you have planned for today's drama."

I raise my hands. "I have nothing planned."

He laughs. "Yeah, right. I'll just have to wait. "Here's the mail for today. I'll see you tomorrow, Mr Black."

I walk out of his room and start to head for my father's office.

Cody grabs my arm like he did yesterday. He looks at my face. "What happened to your face?"

I pull my arm away. "Please, don't touch me."

Dad opens his door. "Ms Waters I'd like to see you."

I follow my dad inside his room.

He pulls the blinds across.  "Why didn't you tell me you were having problems with the group of girls on the bottom floor?"

I sigh. "Dad, I want to deal with them myself. I can't come to you all the time."

He smiles. "I'm glad your treating this whole 90 day seriously."

I nod. "That reminds I'm sharing a place with Sandra Whitmore. Can you get Dick to pick up my ugly clothes and drop it off here?"

Dad nods. "Okay,

I hug him. "Thank you, Daddy." I straighten up and look at the man in front of me. "I have your mail, Sir. I better get back to work."

"Tell everyone there's a meeting at 10:30 about workplace bullying."

I laugh. "Yes, Sir."

The time is 9:58. I have two minutes to make it down to the bottom floor. Dick and Cody wait by the lift. The door opens and we step inside.

I look at them. "What are you doing?"

Cody smirks. "I want to see what shit you've got stirred up for the bottom floor."

Dick nods. "Me too. Then I have a errand to run for Mr Martinez."

The lift door opens and we step out of the lift.

I look at the clock and say. "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1."

The entire floor are opening computers and phones. The videos are playing in everyone's phones. I hear screaming from Margot.

Followed by a shriek from Marley.

And finally a scream from Sasha.

All three walk over to me. They shove their phones in my face.

I smirk. "Keep watching. You three won't be the perfect woman you pretend to be."

Dick and Cody look at their phones.

Cody's mouth drops open.

I close it for him. "I don't want you to catch a fly."

He has tears in his eyes. "They did that to you."

I nod.

Margot moves over to Cody.

He pulls away from her. "How could you do this to her? I'm sick of defending you, Margot. Collin died three years ago and you need to move on." Cody moves over to my side. "Daniela's not going to hurt me. You are doing that from this video I just watched."

I yell. "Mr Martinez is holding a workplace Bully meeting at 10:30, everyone needs to be there." I walk into the mail room.

Sandra looks at the ground. "I need to tell you something, Daniela."

"Okaaaay,"

"I was the get-a-way driver."
