"Thank you again Mr Stevens, I'll draw these up and have them sent to you so everything looks correct then we'll go forward into booking builders." I smiled politely and shook his hands.

"No thank you Miss Antoine, these look great and I'm sure my wife will be in here next for ideas on the interior. We'll book another meeting with builders for next week if thats ok?" He asked, stepping out of the meetings room.

"Yes Brianna will book that for you. See you next week." I smiled politely before heading to my office and stacking the work in dated order so I knew when I came back what I needed to start on. I then packed my bag including my laptop and iPad before locking it and walking out to the main area.

"Today has been busy." I sat on one of the waiting chairs, ready for a chat with Brianna.

"It has been, though a lot got done. Most of the projects were sent today and the new ice rink has builders coming in first thing when you're back." Brianna smiled politely as she too got ready to go.

"Do you think we need more staff? Like we could get you an assistant?" I asked, not really knowing how to control a bigger business.

"I think you need another assistant to control calling builders and furniture companies. I could stay doing the sending off part and directing calls and what not but the finance part adds up with all the rest even though we both do it." Brianna explained, taking a seat next to me.

"Yeah ok that makes more sense. How about after Christmas we'll start looking into having another person in but only for a 3 day week." I suggested, getting out my iPad and putting it in reminders.

"Yeah, definitely have them in on a Wednesday though. Today is our busiest day!" She groaned, rubbing her head.

"I think people want their plans in before the new year so after the weather is back to normal in February they can start building straight away. Although the ice rink is being refurbished over the holidays so the team can start playing straight after. Thats going to be hectic." We both puffed out, knowing it was going to be a busy few months.

"But at least we have customers! You should maybe get someone who wants work experience in for a couple weeks. They can get our coffees and shadow us for a few weeks, that would save time and money." Brianna suggested, that did sound pretty good.

"Perfect, when I'm back we'll start looking but for now, I have to get changed." I smiled, standing up and stretching.

"Oh yeah, are you going to see Sam Smith tomorrow?" Brianna asked, grabbing her bag and following me to the door.

"No thats mid November, its the court case tomorrow." I frowned, getting my keys out and setting the alarm system.

"Oh shit yeah, sorry! So much has been going on recently." She apologized walking out and wrapping her scarf around her neck.

"Its fine, but all these paparazzi are starting to get on my nerves. Hopefully it'll be fine but incase its not we're taking Friday off too. Sorry to put so much work on your shoulders. Tonight Justin has a match so I'm going to quickly get changed and meet him there." I smiled, remembering how excited he was for me to be joining him tonight.

"Yeah, you can see them sneaking behind cars across the street in the day. I'm sure it'll go fine, you're so strong! Plus his reputation will be ruined and he'll be getting help he needs. Don't stress Bella." She smiled and hugged me as we reached the cars.

"Thank you Brie, you've been so helpful through this process." She blushed slightly and I knew it was because she didn't like taking compliments.
