Disaster at the last second

As Lauren slowly made her way back to the office, desperate to not trip or spill anything of the 16 drinks she was carrying, her nerves started to get the better of her. She could hear laughter as she made her way down the street and into the building. She wasn’t cleared yet though. She had to make it up either the stairs or the elevator. She couldn’t lose her momentum, so she opted for the stairs. As she did, she found herself tired out as she reached the floor everyone was at.

She took just a few more steps and finally made it all the way back. “Bring the drinks over here, Lauren,” Jennifer said.

Lauren grumbled hoping someone would relieve her of the drinks but she had no choice but to walk to Jennifer. As she did, a foot extended outward and bam. It was enough for Lauren to lose her balance as she came stumbling forward, coffee spilling all over her body as all 16 cups came crashing to the floor. Lauren was drenched in both hot and iced coffee.

Lauren whimpered as she laid on the ground, all her hard work now all over her clothes and body and hair.
