Dear Staff,
On behalf of Charlain S. Bowling Academy, I would like to congratulate you all for the hard work and dedication you have shown this past week. As a token of our appreciation we would like for you to join us in a small festivity in your honor that will take place Saturday, 08 September 201x at 6:00 pm at our school's banquet hall. You are welcomed to bring friends and family. We encourage you to be here to get to know us and your coworkers on a more personal level, thus creating a friendly work enviornment for all. This is also a great opportunity to meet the school's new vice principal. We hope to see you there.
Best regards,

Liam's POV
"Sir, the e-mail has been sent out."
"Thank you, Carter."
What is with these chicken scrawls? How am I supposed to report to my uncle if I don't understand what was reported to me? I need to have Carter send this mess back.
"Sir?"
I'm too caught up in the stupid written report to notice that my secretary is still standing in the doorway.
"Yes?" I ask looking up at him and setting this year's budget for the private school aside.
"Ms. Kate Huckabee is here to see you."
"Let her in."
Carter nods and a moment later Ms. Huckabee, a beautiful woman no doubt, enters the room. She sported a baby bob that softens her face and light make up decorated her slanted green eyes. Her red and white suit was far too bright to look at comfortably, though.
"Good morning, Mr. Walker. I was told you wanted to see me?"
"Yes, I did," I say shaking her hand. "Please take a seat."
"Would you like something to drink?"
"No thank you, Mr. Carter already offered me tea."
"Good. How are you today Ms. Huckabee?"
"I'm great, sir. Soon to be Mrs. Reyes, though."
"You're getting married?"
"Within six months."
"Conratulations."
"Thank you, sir."
"I want to ask you a few personal questions if that is okay with you. You are not obligated to answer anything you don't want to, of course. However, my younger sister is attending the academy and there's a few... extra precautions that I'll be taking with the staff this year."
"I understand perfectly, sir. I have two children with my future husband. I would do the exact same thing if I was in your position."
"I'm glad you understand. Let's get started, shall we?"

"Emily, What are you doing here at this time of night?" I ask opening the door for her. She passes right by me and makes a bee line for my fridge.
"Emily," I sigh, crossing my arms.
"It's only 9. You always have the good stuff here. Dad doesn't let me eat junk food.
