The guests-of-honour walked in. My colleague whispered, "Clap, clap!" And my hands started coming together of their own accord. To the dead silence in the room. And everyone in the room turned towards the source. Even the chairman who was walking in, chuckled.
We were at a simulated press conference, in the guise of members of the press. It was only after the incident that I found out that she was joking. Alamak. But well, all of us had a good laugh, with me looking like a beetroot.
This was followed by a fire drill and we were one of the first ones to head out of the building. Cameras started flashing and TV crews followed our progress. Sheesh, I was told that we were caught on the news last night. I hoped they didn't catch my look of surprise when I saw them.
But the best part was of course, the buffet spread for dinner.
Countdown: 4 days to the big event. I am filled with nervous anticipation. *Crosses fingers*
