Rose sat outside a building made of glass walls with a confused expression. She had given the cab driver the address Edward had written in the letter. She looked at a sign above the door and noticed the same address printed there. With a sigh she paid the driver and pulled her small pulley from the back seat and walked toward the entrance door.
Dressed in jeans and a comfortable sweater type blouse she felt extremely out of place as she wheeled her bag inside while everyone sent her curious glances. She walked over to the reception desk and waited for the woman to look at her.
"te adiuvare possum" the woman said then looked at her with a polite smile.
"Um...I'm sorry I don't..."
"You don't speak Latin."
"No I'm sorry"
"That's quite alright. How may I help you ma'am?"
"I was wondering where I could find Edwardus Augustinus"
The woman blinked at her in surprise before responding.
"Um...do you have an appointment?"
"Appointment? To see Edward?"
The woman nodded.
"No I didn't know I would need one. He's a ...close friend"
"I'm really sorry but without an appointment I simply can not allow anyone up to see him"
"I'm sure if you tell him I'm here he will tell you its alright"
The woman sent her a doubtful look but still she reached for the phone and made the call.
"Who may I say you are?"

She was almost afraid to brush against the walls for fear of soiling anything. She felt nervous as the lift ascended taking her closer to the man she couldn't get off her mind. As the doors opened to reaveal a all white and silver interior she became even more confused.
"Ms. Steven's?"
A woman greeted her with a smile.
"Yes"
"Follow me"
Rose looked around the office as she followed the expensively dressed woman. The woman lead her to a door marked CEO and she immediately stood still.
