Noelle stepped out of the conference room with a portfolio full of documents she had to sign to build in the land of Atlanta that her father had given to her. It was a legal property he owned for years which is the only reason why she accepted it. She knew building in that property would be great for the companies pocket, she had got the hang of everything.
It had been three years since Mallory had moved to New York and hadn't returned to Chicago not even to visit. Mallory was busy with work in the newest Kline enterprise office in New York that was being a success because it gave their international business partners a closer office to them than the main one in Chicago. However for the most important business meetings or business proposals they still had to fly to Chicago to meet with Noelle.
Noelle in the other hand had visited New York more often for work inquiries and to visit her mother and Mallory. She never felt lonely in Chicago because she had made friends there and her own friends from New York often visited her when they could. She enjoyed spending time with her grandmother Eleanor who had once accompanied Noelle to New York to visit Mallory and to even visit Anastasia, Noelle's mother where she even apologized for all the harm Benjamin and her family did to her.
Noelle stepped into her office with her assistant behind her who reminded her of the meeting she had the following day. The assistant also highlighted other things she asked her to do and Noelle listened and nodded.
"Would you like me to email you everything I just said to you?" Her assistant asked.
Noelle shook her head no and smiled, "So far this genius here hasn't let me down" Noelle pointed to her head.
"Okay well that would be all from me, I'll be at my desk if you need me" Her assistant said and excused herself.
"Thank you" Noelle smiled.
Her assistant stopped when she got to the door and turned to look at Noelle, "can I just say something?" She asked. Noelle looked back at her and nodded.
"I love the peace and enthusiasm you've brought to this company, I actually wake up and enjoy getting ready to come to work now. And I think I'm speaking for everyone in this office" Her assistant said.
Noelle couldn't help but smile as she achieved what she always wanted, for her workers to enjoy what they did and like the boss they had.
"Also I organized all the portfolios you asked me to by different categories and left them for you behind your desk, there was one that I didn't know how to label so I left a sticky note on it with a question mark"
"Oh, thank you I'll revise what's in it later" Noelle said as she looked behind her and saw that everything was neatly organized.
Her assistant left her office and Noelle opened up the portfolio she had brought from the conference room with the business deal she was about to sign but made sure to read every single word before she did as usual.
She spent more than an hour re reading it until she agreed with everything that was stated on the contract. She grabbed her pen and wrote down her signature before closing the portfolio and putting it on the table near the door so she wouldn't forget it.
She looked through her emails and answered the most urgent ones before sitting back on her chair. She closed her eyes and spun in the chair stopping when she was facing the cabinet behind her. She looked at the organized portfolios and got up to grab the one with the sticky note. She sat back down and spun her chair to set the portfolio in her desk and opened it up. She began reading through it and realized what it was. It was the papers to Ezekiels families property that were stolen from Roman that she had worked to get back.
