packing up Lena's office

Stef's: POV
The girls and I have just arrived at the group home to pack up Lena's office
Hopefully it doesn't take all day cause I had plans on taking Grace and Hope to the restaurant with me to drop off some paperwork. The last thing I needed was to run into Shannon, l parked in the front of the house. Mama why are we at mommies Job, when we know she's not here Hope tells me. I know princess mommy asked me to come clean up her office for her is that alright with you I promise we won't be too long, Stef said to Hope while Grace keeps quiet. We got out of the car and headed inside, as we were walking up to the door
Where stopped by a tall beefy security guard. As l tried to get through the door he stops by telling me l can't enter the house
Ma'am l can't let you inside do you have an appointment if not I can't let you pass he informed me, l turn around to pull out my phone and call Lena's assistant Sasha to tell her l was outside trying to get in. She told me she'll be right out in a few minutes,
So me Grace Hope stand off to the side
I said nothing to the guy. I'm not even sure Lena knows about this, mama why won't that man let in Grace ask me. This kids were too smart for their own good at times
We always try to be upfront with them as much as possible, well Grace he wants to protect people by not letting strangers on the premises. Stef explains to both her daughter's, l look over and Sasha was talking to the guard about something l couldn't quite hear. She walked over towards us and apologized for the confusion, Lena called me an hour ago and told me that you would be stopping by
It totally slipped my mind Shannon has me all over the place this morning l've been busy since I came in the office, she's in the process of hiring someone and Shannon giving them Lena's room Sasha explained
Oh hell no has she lost her ever loving mind
Stef can't believe what she was hearing
I'm sorry Shannon told me her and Lena had a conversation about it Sasha informs me. I know for a fact Shannon never discussed it with Lena, the only l'm aware of is that Lena purchased another house and Shannon's not too happy with Lena's decision but she never mentioned anything in terms of hiring another employee,
Stef said nothing else. I only came down here to clean out Lena's office for her
Stef said, well Shannon put all Lena's belongings in boxes and replaced everything with new stuff come on inside and l will help you carry Lena's things to your car. Where are my manners l didn't see you brought the girls along with you
Who's who Sasha says, well l'm Grace and this is my sister Hope Grace introduces herself and Hope. I follow Sasha in the house, she takes me down the hall to the storage room where there were eight boxes
I lift up two to carry out to my vehicle
Stef opened up her trunk and laid the boxes down. Sasha gets the guard to help out, l get Grace and Hope settled in their car seats. The nerve of Shannon cleaning out Lena's office without her consent bothers, but what really irritated me the most. She lied about talking to Lena about hiring a potential candidate, this has been going on long enough something needs to be done, Shannon really wants to take over Lena's position. This bitch has to be stop
After all the boxes were loaded up in the trunk, l don't want to add more stress on Lena's plate. I can't keep this information from her, l'll tell Lena tonight when everyone's asleep. I'm for certain Lena is gonna give Shannon a stern talking to
I get in my car and try to calm down before starting up the engine, l looked through the rear view mirror and see grace and Hope have their ear buds in watching a movie on the DVD player on the head rest. Sasha walks over to my vehicle, Stef l didn't mean to tell you all that. I will always remain loyal to Lena, she believed in me when everybody else didn't so l felt she should know what snake Shannon is weather Lena allows Shannon new haven children's home. Once Lena gets the new house set up
She offered a full time position when we spoke over the phone Sasha let's me know
Lena speaks very highly of you Sasha
Stef says kindly, okay l will go tell Lena
to call me Sasha Stated. Stef nods her head as she starts up the ignition
