Everyone was working at their desk on the case after the meeting with Alexia. So, Alexia had no idea who just entered the building.

Eleanor Kensington

Hi! I'm looking for someone. (She says in an enthusiast tone to the woman at the reception desk)

Penelope

Hi, yes, who would you be looking for?

Eleanor Kensington

Detective Alexia Bennett, that's who I'm looking for!

Penelope

I'm sorry but all the detectives were in a meeting, and I don't know if there are finish.

Let me check.

Do you have an appointment?

Eleanor Kensington

Oh, eumm, no, I don't...

Do I need one?

I was just stopping by to bring her some flowers since it's her first day back after 2 weeks of working from home.

I wanted to make sure her day was going smoothly.

Penelope

Aww, that's a nice gesture!

Eleanor Kensington

Thank you! But do I really need an appointment, because if I do you can just give them to her.

That would be fine, I don't mean to intrude...

Penelope

Oh, none sense you will deliver these yourself.

They are out of their meeting!

I will just have you escorted.

Eleanor Kensington

Wait, really?!

Penelope

Yes, I won't get in the way of love! (She winks at Eleanor)

Eleanor Kensington

Thank you! (She says it excitingly and shy at the same time)

Penelope

Jimmy! (She shouted a little)

Jimmy

Yes?

Penelope

Would you escort the lady to the Detective Bennett?

Jimmy

Yes, of course.

Please this way!

Eleanor Kensington

Thank you!

They both made their way to the Detectives office.

Jimmy

Normally Detective Bennett's desk is right around the corner.

Eleanor Kensington

Right, good...

Jimmy

Are you ok?

Eleanor Kensington

Yes, yes, I'm quite alright.

I'm maybe a little nervous perhaps.

Jimmy

I see.
