Sarah Jane Callisto's POV

Has anyone been a morning if yes then good for you and question how on earth are you guys not moody when you wake in the morning , I know you guys are going to say it's depends on how you wake up in the right side of the bed which I kinda get it but for me I was never been the morning person I mean I wake up early since it became a habit for me but sometimes I regret waking up early it's like my body know when to ruin me and set down my mood every morning, If you guys know what I'm talking about then thank you. Enough about me and my morning problems  since today is Thursday in the morning and I'm having my breakfast I made toast ,bacon and eggs, I managed to cook bacon and egg since there were many stack of food in the fridge and the cabinets which is a good thing so that I don't have to  worry about food and if you're going to ask how did I managed to cook well combining my brain and my commonsense I grab the pan and a stool for me to reach the stove to cook and I know how to cook back in my previous life since my mom told I should learn since it's helpful when I finally have my own house. Since I'm all alone I guess it really helps me so thank you mom for teaching me.

Today I'm planning to check the full inside structure of the building according to the guidance paper this penthouse have 15 floor and each floor is designed for something that can be useful for me and I need Mia for guidance since apparently she's the one that handles the penthouse after my mother passed away but now I'm here it's now her duty to check if everything that involves the penthouse and mostly me. So after finishing my breakfast I directly headed down the first floor which is where Mia is working , when the elevator reached the first floor and when it opened for me I quickly got off from there and made my way towards where Mia was. ''Good morning, Mia''. I greeted her which made her raise her head and she smiled after seeing me. ''Good morning to you too my lady, have you eaten breakfast?''. She asked which I nodded in response. We chatted for quite awhile. She even showed me how she handles her work which was interesting and she also taught me how she does her job which was interesting.

''So, what brought you here lady?''.

''Well I'm actually here to ask if you can show me the full structure of the inside penthouse''. I explained to her, she made an 'oh' face and nodded her head which tell me that she understands after that she called someone on the telephone telling someone to come over the front desk to take over her job for just an hour. After waiting for 3 minutes a tall man who is probably the same age as Mia came to us. ''My lady meet Axel, one of my coworkers. He also works at the security department on the 8th floor which I'll take you ''. I held out my hand for Axel which he took it but didn't shake it instead he kissed the back of my hand , it gave me a little shiver when his lips touched my hand but I made sure he wouldn't notice it. ''It nice to meet you my lady''. He said then let go of my hand I smiled giving him the knowledge that was needed, after the interaction with Axel me and Mia finally made our way in the elevator and headed to the second floor .

When we arrived at the second floor Mia handed me a whole sheet of paper I read what was written in the front sheet 'Everything you need to know ' along with stickers and printed cartoons as well, I didn't say nor comment about it since to her she thinks I like cute things so I just go with the flow. I turned the pages and read  the writings on it. ''As you can see my lady were at the second floor where it's dedicated to the guest suites which provides a luxurious accommodation for your father's allies, clients and operative but mostly it's one your relative who used it, each suite is elegantly furnished with king-sized beds, en-suite bathrooms and a high tech amenities for comfortable stay. We give them a high- security key card access system to ensure their privacy''. Mia explained as we went to one of the suites and she showed me all the details. It was interesting to see it since it's like going to one of those old fashioned five star hotels that I always see in movies even though we're only on the second floor. After that we headed to the next one which was the third floor.

It features a series of meeting rooms and conference space for strategy sessions, debriefings and briefings. There were also advanced multimedia systems, interactive whiteboards and teleconferencing  equipment  that facilitated communication  and collaboration among team members. Other than that Mia also pointed out to me that there's also hidden surveillance cameras and soundproof walls that ensure utmost confidentiality for sensitive discussion. There wasn't much to look around on this floor except for the oval table and its chair that could probably fit fifteen people. I did see some papers that were piled into a table beside the whiteboard. I checked what it was. It was about the latest report in Germany, how the Schmidt company is trying to make a deal with business asking for twenty percent of the cooperation that they made but according to these reports no deal has been made yet.

''I think that's one of Mr. Atlas' paper work ''. Mia explained as I also looked at the paper that I was holding . ''Does he also live with me?''. I asked while putting the paper back where it was, I then looked at her with a straight face. ''Well, not exactly''. Silent cover the whole place while I directly looked at her which she adverted her eyes avoiding my staring.

'' What do you mean 'not exactly '?''. I asked

''Well, Mr. Atlas comes here to check on you when were sick back then he move his work here so that he can monitor your health. After checking if your ok he would ask us to look after to you when his away for business and at the moment his in a business meeting with your uncle''. She explained why leading me to our next stop so my called father just come and go. But let's not quickly judges a person since I haven't met my family for now let's focus on the task on hands. The fourth floor was the training facilities which includes a state-of-the-art gym, martial arts dojo and shooting range. The gym is equipped with the latest fitness equipment, sparring mats and punching bags for physical conditioning and combat training. The shooting range features advanced firearms and simulation technology for marksmanship practice and tactical drills. After that we went to the fifth floor which was dedicated to the armoury storage where a vast collection of weapons, gadgets and gear are meticulously organised and catalogued. There's also a secure vaults and weapon racks display an arsenal of firearms, knives, explosives and specialised equipment for missions. The armoury also houses cutting-edge technology, surveillance devices and counter surveillance tools for intelligence operations.

Now from the sixth floor to the fifteenth floor, the penthouse transitions into a high- security zone reserved for my private quarters and specialised facilities. According to the hand book that I read last night these floors contain secret rooms, hidden passageways  and advanced technology that cater to the assassin's unique skills and needs. I'll explore the hidden rooms later when I'm all alone. Mia just showed me half of floors since someone suddenly called her and she said that staff are forbidden to step in the sixth floor up to the fifteen floor.

''My lady I have good news for you''. I gave her questionable look while she just gave her smile that at this is creeping me out a little. '' It appears that your father has finished his work early than we thought ''. She said which I nodded in understanding to she's saying, now that I think about if my so called father finished his work with the business it means that.... OMG I'm about to meet him!!! .

''Am I going to see him?''.

''Yes, in fact he would like to have lunch  with you along with your uncle''.

Well I'll be damn. World why do I feel your not in my side at this moment.
