“I just sent them to him. Well someone under my lawyer did it in person. Tell them to get a picture of his face when they do it.”

“Yes and I already talked to Julia about it and locked him out of her trust fund just in case. I've told the bank to notify me if he tries to access my part too.”

“Mia is now my right hand and only after a month. I swear she’s the most trustworthy person I've met in years. Too bad the world is gonna change her”

Hugging myself, I look the other way, feeling warm at the mention of her. A few days ago I let my guard down at the expense of her simple gesture.

“Don’t be zoning out too much today and I gotta go before I’m late.”

She kissed me, opening my door to leave and I could hear her talking to Mia. I’ve been so busy configuring my next few steps against Levi I haven’t really talked to her much. Though she had helped me this morning we kept it short since I was on the phone when she came in.

I crossed my legs wondering if I should walk out there to talk to her. She beat me to it though as I flinched seeing her knock on my open door. She fiddles with the belt on her waist before fully walking into my office.

“Would you like to get lunch with me?” She looks nervous but sure of herself placing her hands near her side to intently look at me
262Please respect copyright.PENANATk2nI0tXpf
“You.. um lunch?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAqgRdLKLFeC
“Yea… Sophia talked about your favorite restaurant and since it’s friday i thought you might have more time”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAiuGnn0FA5Y
“Sure why not. I can actually go now, I wasn't doing much”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAjP9lWOojmT
She smiles before checking her wrist watch looking back at me,”I need to drop off a few documents on the floor below us, but other than that i’m ready to go”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAPQZYzlfBnE
“I’ll meet you at the elevator”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAiDrai4QKnH
She leaves soon after I follow after seeing a woman I didn't recognize speaking to her as she moves a stack of paper around. I could literally see the distress in Mia’s face but this woman couldn’t,”who are you?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAO3co4bm0V3
The woman looks me in the eyes before scoffing, irritating me,”I’m Nora”, she says it in a tone as if i’m supposed to know her but i don’t think she’s one of my clients,”I’m Ms. Saura’s assistant”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAlRf7hO1adQ
“Oh then shouldn’t you be over on that side with her?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAyGVI56TSPa
“I only wanted to talk to Mia for a moment” noticing her struggling i go behind the desk grabbing the bag she was reaching for it and touching her back so she could start moving
262Please respect copyright.PENANAtQmn7AKjFH
“We’re about to leave you can do that later”
262Please respect copyright.PENANA61fi1Tkd1J
I put on my fake smile leading Mia to the elevator while also watching her walk off in the corner of my eye. When the doors opened she was the first one followed by me,”I have a feeling you don’t usually say no”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAwoE41j2khs
“I do it’s just that there wasn’t a reason for me to not be friendly but she just comes at the wrong times, and she doesn’t exactly say much nice things about people”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAgOesvdFynD
The doors open again and I just keep them open watching as she swiftly hands the paper work over to the woman at the receptionist desk. She returns with a smile on her face waving to the woman as the doors close,”want some candy”
262Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qz4kKXxRt
“Is that what you get in return for helping them?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANALCvEON9SkU
“Well yesterday she gave me… toblerone? but since we're about to eat, I don't want to overdo it.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAqEWTzANW9I
She holds her hand out with an orange wrapped sweet in it “you said that wrong, and I don’t want any”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAZQB2V5YeW9
“Then save it for later”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAuc2WM5KsiB
“You are resilient for this but you can’t say no?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAPYqj4PbX9Y
I put the candy in my purse and soon we were out the elevator heading towards the entrance. I think I caught the security team off guard when one spilled a drink after making eye contact with me. But my attention returns back to her as we are out in the cold.

“By the way… I don’t know how to get there”
