She saw what a lovely reception he received and rolled her eyes so far into the back of her head she momentarily lost sight of where she was. It figures that mister white knight would be in good relations with the rest of the workers. This just made her more sick. Maybe she could run away now and see if she could make do in the wild country side. This man was becoming the bane of her existence.

Amelia stood there completely stunned. She watched with wide almost childish eyes as her supervisor snarled then flew back with a lovely arch of blood squirting out of his nose. Everything seemed to go in slow motion. Her boss falling into the mud. This crazy man punching him. Everyone's eyes where on them now. Yup, that was the end of it for her. So much for buying herself a nice partially warm meat pie that evening. The man said something to her and called her darling this time. The anger boiled up within seconds. "What the hell did you think that accomplished? You floored my boss and now I'm without a job! Are you happy now? You now have the opportunity of a lifetime! You get the wonderful prize of feeding a poor jobless person! Congratulations!" She wanted something large and blunt to smack him with but she knew that wouldn't help her in the long run. 
"Like I said before! If you truly cared about anyone in my position, you would help them get a better job rather than destroying the one they have! Talk to me if you have a job for me to do!" With that, Amelia was now shaking with anger and her temples pounded. She hadn't eaten in a while and this added frustration gave her a violent headache. She needed to leave before the authorities were called. While people were clapping and cheering him on, she slipped between them hearing them call her a different assortment of things. That girl was ungrateful. I'm glad someone shut him up. Hey, wanna buy me some food? She should have taken your offer. The more she thought about it the more ill she felt. 

Finally getting away from the tunnels and away from the man who, quite literally, ruined her pitiful existence with a single hand she found herself on another busy street. She moved a lot faster when she wasn't weighed down with heavy water pales. Her hand reached up to scratch her nasty hair under her cap. This was awful and now she was even more hungry. She tried to find a place less full of people to sit down and rest for a moment. "Stupid..." She muttered finding a wall to lean against. Amelia dug into her pockets and only found string and some dirt. She slid down the wall with her head still throbbing. Partially leaning on the wall she looked up to the sky. How long before she could get another job? It would be nice if that idiot could help her get a nice job. Then again he probably didn't think about it. Why would he? No one thinks about how their actions affect others.
