The gardener has no desire to ornament the front lawn, she does her best
It must be a very skilled gardener, who keeps that lawn surface perfect, even after a double crucifixion!
Anyway, one can wonder what goes through the ladies' mind meanwhile! They look depressed (how would you be in their place?), but also ill-tempered. They look away from each other. Did they just before had an argument:?
"I should never have participated to that plan of yours! I should have reported you immediately! It is all your fault!"
"It was going well, until you made that stupid mistake!"
"You said they never would find out our plan!"
"But you have been stupid! I have always warned you to be careful!"
"Brat!"
"Idiot!"
Sad, since they will need each other's support for the remaining of their ordeal!
Particularly, since noon approaches! Colleagues will leave the company for lunch or a walk, and pass along! Others will certainly use the midday break to have a look at the spectacle in front of the building!
Many had been jealous of the lead researcher, whose position in the company seemed untouchable. Those who had critics on her work, even on founded reasons, risked their career! In her wake, her secretary had become arrogant and hence impopular either.
Apparently, both ladies' high pay grade and position had mentally isolated them in the company. Eager to gain more, they had submitted to the seduction of passing information to a company in another country!
After the execution, the management has issued a communication that the affair must be a instigation for self-reflection for all employees. "On the short term, it is a backdrop, but on the long run, we all must work to turn this moment of collective self-reflection into an opportunity for the future of our company!"
