Chasing Mr. Carlton ( The story of a Shrew's Son)

Part 8

"Bobby." 

Bobby looked up from her desk- it was Lisa. 

"Hi." Bobby said with a smile. She didn't know why but she was finding it harder and harder to be civilized towards her.  She'd even felt guilty about it, after all, Lisa hadn't done a thing to her. 

"Do you have a minute?" Lisa asked. 

"Sure." Bobby said, noticing that Eddie was carrying a couple of boxes at a time to the long table against the wall. It was a table the assistants used for creating folders, packets, sorting... things like that. 

"Great, come." Lisa said, turning on her heel with a grin and approaching the table. Bobby slowly rose and moved behind her. 

"The new mailers?" Bobby asked, raising her brow as Eddie opened one of the boxes. 

"Yes-what do you think?" Lisa asked, holding one towards her. Bobby took it and nodded. 

She had to admit- these were nice. 

"This is good." Bobby said, hating to say it. "These are really good."

"I know, right? Anyway- we want these out by the end of the week. Eddie has the list of clients, plus the prospects. See..." Lisa began, opening a second box. "There are two kind, one for existing clientele..."

Bobby nodded.

"Okay and one for prospecting." Bobby said. "Are you using the same mailing kits?"

"Yes. The same box- they all need to have the correct mailer and the correct letters." She said, pointing to two stacks of folders. "It's one from Brian and Nora, one from Matt and one from Nicholas." 

"From Nick?" Bobby asked. 

"Lida- Nicholas Lida not Nick." Lisa clarified, looking through them. "We just need to make sure everyone gets the right version."

Bobby looked through a large basket, full of blank post it pads with the company Logo on it. 

"Oh yes. On these- this is where I need you. I noticed you have fabulous handwriting- I just need you to write this on each of them before putting the pad in the mailing kits and sending them off." Lisa said. 

Bobby sighed- that would take her hours... and certainly give her a case of carpel tunnel. But, of course, Bobby only smiled and agreed.

"Sure. I'll see if Danny can help us." Bobby said and Lisa's smile grew. 

"Great. Teamwork is the best." Lisa said. "Thanks."

After she was gone, Bobby stared down at the pile of things to be sorted, stacked and then placed in mailers. 

"We could get one of the kids from the mail room to help." Eddie said softly as he realized it was literally going to take them hours. 

"No- they're understaffed. Besides, it'll be fine." Bobby said as usual, walking over to Danny's desk.

Brian and Nora walked out of their office around 1pm- Nora was starving as usual and Brian was eager to take her to a new sushi place she'd been saying she wanted to visit now for weeks.
