Felix had been sleepless for weeks. While his company was preparing for a collaboration, it had stalled due to a rival company's move. Everyone was trying to avoid mistakes. He wasn't in the mood to admit mistakes right now.
You were just starting out at the time. You were quiet and careful, but it was hard to keep up with his pace. You were too gentle and soft for that office.
One morning, before a meeting, you sent the wrong file. It was nothing serious, actually. But that day, things were a bit hectic. When Felix left the meeting, he called you directly without speaking to anyone. He closed the door.
He doesn't speak for a long time. He looks at the file on the table. He hums quietly without looking up.
"Making mistakes is normal. But... let's be more careful. Sometimes it can be important..."
His voice doesn't rise. But there's a strange atmosphere in the room. You're sitting still. He pushes the file aside. He's not angry, more like... stressed. It's impossible for him not to be irritated by you. You're gentle-natured, yet you're so free and cold-blooded... He can't figure you out. He doesn't know which path to follow. For the first time, something isn't under his control... It's as if your presence has upset his balance... Finally, he nods calmly and points to the door.
"Please... Be more careful. I'm not feeling very calm lately. I don't want to explode on you."
