1. AN OMEN
It was her first day. She had worked hard to get this bank job. With this new job she can be an autonomous woman. And more than anything else, it was her dream job. She always wanted to be an amiable bank officer who could help those who come in for help. Marie, the exuberant little girl had become a bank officer. Months passed by, she rented a home, which reminded of her bereaved mom. She saved some money and had purchased a bike to commute to the Bank.
