While Michael was at the restaurant handling the paperwork Veronica managed the staff and made sure everything and everyone was functioning like it should while also checking in on the customers to ask if they enjoyed their meals 

"Coffee?" Veronica asked interupping Michael who was reading the latest order form from the supplies and ingredients  the kitchen and the bar needed

"Sure, espresso, two sugar" Michael answered and went back to the paperwork

"Actually I meant-" Veronica mumbled "Sure I'll be right back" she smiled at him and went to the bar to make some coffee and made her way back to Michael with two coffee, handed him one and took place at the other side of the desk with her own coffee "I can check those orders, saves you some extra work" she smiled taking a few of those forms from the pile, reading them in her in Michaels opinion annoying way, using her finger with the too bright neon pink nail polish to read line for line

"How about the staff?" Michael asked, just wanting to finish the paperwork

"It's two pm the last lunch people just left, there's no dinner reservations till six and the chef's already prepared as much as they could for the first reservations, the waiting staff is cleaning the tables and Desmond volunteered to take a double shift so he's already behind the bar cleaning the glasswork and counting the liquor" Veronica replied

"Alright, how's the cash supply? There's enough for tonight?" Michael asked

"Yes and the extra cash is already in the safe" Veronica replied

"You don't have the key nor the code of the safe" Michael told her, wondering how she could put money in the safe if she doesn't have the code and the key

"Desmond has the code and borrowed the key from your desk drawer" Veronica explained 

"My desk drawer is locked and only I have the key for MY desk drawer" Michael told her

"Maybe Desmond has a copy or borrowed it from you and put it back before you knew it was missing" Veronica replied trying to find an solution
