Early Bird (Erkenci Kus)(Part 4)

5. Sanem gets a job offer

"I'll think about it, I don't know though," JJ shakes his head at what Ahmet was showing him. Since he arrived, people have been coming to him for advice on what needed to be done for the party. He had taken over the planning and he liked the new job.

"JJ, have a look," Guliz comes over and he gets up, taking the clipboard with the list of guests. He sighs, looks up and then freezes. "What?" Guliz turns around. Deren looks up from signing off on a document as well.

"What is this woman doing here?" he narrows his eyes at Mine walking in from the lobby looking like she was searching for someone.

"Is Fabbri here too?" Guliz asks.

"Why would Fabbri come?" Deren scoffs. "He's in jail. Mine's not working with him anymore."

"Why is she here then?"

"If she came for a job, I'm sorry Miss Deren, but I won't give her one. She can't be trusted."

"Is that so Mr Cengiz? Don't be silly."

"Yeah JJ," Guliz elbows him.

"Good morning," Deren smiles, walking over to Mine entering.

"Miss Deren, good morning." Mine shakes her hand. "How are you?"

"Very good thanks. You?"

"A lot better actually," Mine looks around the office. "I'm looking for Mr Can, is he here?"

"He hasn't arrived yet," Deren shakes her head, looking around nervously. He'd told her he was coming but he has yet to. Just then, she sees Can's tall figure walking across the bridge from the elevators and her nerves settle. "Never mind, there he is."

"Miss Mine? Hello." Can greets in surprise when he sees her, coming in.

"Mr Can. Hello."

"Morning," Emre greets her as well, shaking her hand. "There aren't any problems with Fabbri right?" he checks.

"No, you can stay calm," she assures them. "They've found more evidence against him in Italy too."

"Naturally," Can shakes his head.

"Fabbri won't be a free man for a very long time."

"Great." Can nods, actually feeling good about it.

"You must wonder why I came?" Mine chuckles. "I came to thank you personally, Mr Can."

Knowing what she was talking about, Can nods. "It was a pleasure."

Mine looks at those not in the know and explains, "After I broke with Nova Fiore and Fabbri, Mr Can called Mr McKinnon on my behalf and I've now started working with him." She smiles at Can again. "I owe you Mr Can."

"Forget it. I didn't do anything. Your experience and history speaks for you. Besides, McKinnon needed someone with your knowledge. You're perfect for the job."

"Still, after all that's happened, you didn't have to say good things about me to him so thank you. I can start anew now."

"Thank you for what you did too," Emre nods at her, smiling. She nods at him in acknowledgement.

"How is Mr McKinnon doing?" Deren asks. "We're all a little worried about the launch tomorrow."

"So is he," Mine chuckles. "He wanted to come tomorrow but he got a call to attend an important meeting. He was forced to fly to America on the red eye last night. He left me to deal with the latest details and changes."

"Oh?" Deren nods, still grinning.

"In fact, I have a couple of things to discuss with you. If you're free to talk, can I have a few minutes?"
