Crystal halts and the two behind her come to a sudden stop. She turns with a ‘Are you kidding me’ look on her face. To be sure she asks again.

CRYSTAL

Why?

Kira swallows and repeats.

KIRA

Overworking.

Crystal gives a mean smirk and walks to the care center with Kira and James hot on her heels.

She stops at the door and takes a deep breath to calm herself down. James opens the door and on seeing her, everybody except the man who fainted rises to their feet. With a stern look and folded arms, she strides into the room. Everyone takes a step back as she approaches the bed. 

CRYSTAL

Mr Johnson,

(smiles)

you have my surname, yet you act so foolishly.

 The smile fades and a serious look appears on her face. She drags a chair and keeps it in front of the bed and he sits upright. 

MR JOHNSON

That is no way to talk to your elders.

James shakes his head. Mr Johnson was trying to get himself fired. Almost everybody that worked there were older than Crystal, yet nobody mentions it. Crystal laughs.

KIRA

(whispers)

Oh God.

The other employees knew that Mr Johnson was going way out of line.

CRYSTAL

I call you Mr Johnson because I know that calling you Johnson is very inappropriate given our ten years difference in age. But trying to remind me of that at work where I am your superior is also inappropriate don’t you think?

 She spoke calmly, but very strictly.
