Chapter 425: + - 425+
Rosie stood absently in the foyer for a good half hour before it clicked that her boss and Mafia King wouldn’t be coming through the company doors, and she would be all alone for a month.
She walked alone to the elevator, going through emails on her digital pad. Lake had worked hard in the past week, so for the rest of the first week, there was little to do. The other secretaries could easily handle things for the week but Rosie had no plans of slacking off.
She was responsible for FluxCorp as well as the boss’ other companies and the other tons of things that needed to be supervised. Rosie sighed and sat behind her desk, there was no one to give a report to that morning, she couldn’t even have a casual chat with Lake.
One of the landlines on her table rang, making her frown, it wasn’t the line used for company contacts, so it had something to do with the Mafia. Rosie picked tentatively, usually, she wasn’t this cautious, but that was because her job previously was to forward the calls to Lake.
"Asher said I should check up on you," Jael’s familiar voice came through the phone, the tension bleeding out of Rosie.
"I’m fine," She said a little touchily, it was just the first morning, she was a little nervous and lonely but she would be fine.
"I figured," The Beta said dryly, "But I’ve still got to come over. How do you like your coffee?"
"Sweet," Rosie eased off, "With almond milk."
She hadn’t expected Jael to go through the trouble of showing up in person, it was why she had been a bit touchy on the phone call.
