It had been two days since the interaction at the grocery store.

My work was starting to pile up, mostly stuff with meta. I knew when i got on board with this project that it was going to push me as it was an American company. But I hadn't expected all of this in the first official week working with them.

"Happy Friday Magnolia!" James says as I scan my badge

"Happy Friday to you too James.Where is Adelaide" I ask looking around

"Not here, one of her kids has scarlet fever. I think it's the infant so she's home with him" he explains as I nod

"Oh but she did leave this for you" he says passing me a flash drive labeled Ferrari Content

"Thanks James, have fun being receptionist for the day" I chuckle as he smiles

"I'm already having so much fun and it's only 9" he says as I laugh

I go to the elevator and get to the second floor where my shared office is.

As I enter I hear Freya letting someone have it on the phone.

If anyone thinks I'm more aggressive when it comes to work they've never heard Freya Agitated

"Who is that?" I whisper to her

She pulls the phone away from her mouth "William from Greatwood. So fucking annoying" she says before putting the phone back to her ear and rubs her temple

I log onto my computer and insert the flash drive to begin working on reviewing the content from last years dell partnership

After about an hour Freya leaves to go to a meeting and Paul replaced Freya in the office which gave me someone to talk to

" what does it mean when they say understeer?" I ask pausing the video I was watching

"It's like when they are trying to turn and the car turns less than what they need it to" he says as I nod

His phone chimes and he groans

"I have to go to Freya's meeting about the budgeting for Greatwood. Here is the Meta file you asked for though" Paul says dropping the file on my desk

"You could've given this to me in the last hour you were here" I say and laugh

"Well then you wouldn't have talked to me the last hour" he shrugs

"True" I say as he waves and leaves

I turn off the video completely and open the meta file Paul just gave me and as I was reading through it I found minor issues in it that I would have to fix but this time o couldn't blame Paul and make him fix it since it came from meta.

I was about to take it to Elena to get her help when my phone rung

I walked over and picked up

"Hello?" I ask answering the phone

"Hey Magnolia! You have a visitor, do you want me to send him up?" James asks

I didn't remember having any appointments today but it's possible I've missed writing things down the past few days with everything going on

"Yeah go ahead" I say and sit back down and hang up the phone

Since i was still confused I went onto my calendar and still saw no appointments
