August greeted Rum early in the morning, at five a.m, the day she had to go back to work. She had arrived earlier than she was suppose to but August was okay with that. After not being in the office for so long, she knew some type of paper work would have made its way on her desk.

She stopped by Sam's office, Sam hadn't arrived so she headed to Ralph's.

"August?" Ralph questioned as he glanced towards the door. Surrounding him were piles upon piles of paperwork, as usual, August had noted since she'd started working for Alec months ago.

"Hey" she smiled at him. Ralph sat down his pen and stretched while leaning back. His back popped in multiple places causing unique sounds to escape from Ralph's mouth.

"Hey" he murmured slouching on the desk. "How've you been? Where have you been?" August sat down in one of the chairs across from his desk.

"Home" she replied with a heavy sigh "I was given a couple of days off but I worked for most of them. Just enough to not be overloaded with new schedule changing which is why I'm in here" August pulled out her tablet "although our scheduling system is a very good, it has its flaws and I want something flawless. I can't mess up when and where Mr. Sterling needs to be, this month is too important. The gala is this week and I can't afford any screw ups" Ralph picked up his pencil, teeth biting down on the metal end of it.

"Okay, what do you have in mind?"

"Well, I've been talking to our technicians through email and asked them to make a calendar for us that will sync all three of us together and will notify the other two when something changes. It'll also send reminders when an event or meeting is near, instead of us manually setting reminders. It's similar to the last one but this will be more organized, like when if I decide to change something on the schedule. Right now everyone's notes and updates all look the same so it's hard to see who scheduled what and whose suppose to be with Mr. Sterling but with this program each of us will get our own color so that we know whose who."

"Smart but why create a separate app? Why can't we use the one we have now?" August shrugged.

"This can help the company in the future, if it goes well we can advertise it to other companies and make money off of it. The apps I've been trying to use have unmistakable flaws, looks unprofessional and costs a fortune for one person. $24 a month for a calendar shouldn't be allowed. This'll be cheaper and guest can login under the approval of the main account user to see the schedule for however many days the main user allows. It's perfect for if and when something happens to either one of us and we need to hire a temporary secretary or PA."

"Have you ran this over with Mr. Sterling?" August shook her head. "We aren't on the best talking terms" she scratched the back of her head "but I will today, I want his approval before we launch the app as a test run." Ralph nodded "well as long as he approves then I wouldn't mind trying it out" a grin appeared on Augusts's face "perfect!" She clapped her hands.

"I have to head back to my desk but I should be gone for most of the day. If you need me just call my cell" Ralph waved her off before getting back to his workload.

August sat at her head, laying her head in her arms that folded perfectly against the stained wood surface.

She had a couple of stacks of paperwork to look over before she had to head out and run errands for the upcoming week. The Gala was on Saturday and Tuesday August would have to get Alec measured for a custom suite. Today, though, she had to pick out a dress for herself and meet with a couple of attendees, catering staff, event designers and the main fundraising team. It'd be a busy day but she was fully prepared. Taking time off gave her a chance to catch up on sleep.

Alec came in an hour later and headed straight for his desk "morning August" he greeted in a murmur.

"Morning" she replied stiffly. August flipped away at the papers in front of her, signing what would benefit the company and setting aside the ones that wouldn't. She renewed a handful of expired contracts, checking in with Sam when he arrived and got the list of partners S. T. A. R Corp wanted to keep.

"Here" August sat down a sheet of paper. Alec picked it up with furrowed eyebrows "what's this?"

"It's a proposal by me. A new app, cheap and efficient. It's for the company. If you could look over it that would be great, I already have the program made we're just waiting for an approval to launch the testing phrase." August grabbed her bag and sling it over her shoulder.

"Just look over it, I don't need an answer right now but it would be great to get it launched before the gala. It'd be a good little test run and we can get the employees to try it out too" she headed for the door. "August!" Alec called after her, August stopped, her hand on the door knob.

"Yes?" She turned her upper half in Alec's direction. "Where are you going?"

"I have to meet with the event planners and pick up a dress, set the menu and make arrangements for you to get measured tomorrow." Alec gave a curt nod "okay" he pursed his lips.

"It's that all?" August asked. Alec shook his head.

"Did you get the flowers I sent you" August opened the door and stepped out "I did" she replied "thank you, they were lovely."
