Authors Note
This might seem to you like a filler chapter and while it doesn't have
a great deal of character growth in it I wanted to introduce some minor things.
The next chapters will have some more major timeskips because I really don't
see the reason of showing (writing) every day of Asamis work. Next chapter will involve
some conflict again as well as some public reaction!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mako had stayed for the majority of the evening and even though he had told them that he doesn't have problem with her and Korra being a couple Asami noticed that he was still uncomfortable around them. They had talked a little bit more about the spirit vacation and how Korra first was extremely shy, but left out certain parts to not make it more awkward for him than it already was.
It was already 11pm when he left and Asami had to get up early tomorrow to get to work, so Korra and her decided that it would be a good idea to go to bed early seeing that they wouldn't get to sleep hours after they reached the bedroom.
Next morning Asami's alarm woke her up. She quickly turned it off because she didn't want to wake her girlfriend who was still sleeping more or less gracefully. She got up and went to the bathroom and after a quick shower and putting on her make-up she went in the kitchen to get some breakfast. She decided on Yasmi tea and a slice of bread and after eating she made her way to her car.
On her way she passed some of her servants and greeted them all. She knew some of them for years, because she made sure Tenzin would try to hire people she already knew. One of them smiled as he saw her. It was Hiro, he was one of the first people her father had hired after he had purchased this mansion. He was old now but still had a smile that could light up anyones day.
"Good Morning Ms. Sato" he said lifting his head.
"Good Morning Hiro. What a wonderful day isn't it?" She answered.
"Yes indeed, but I fear that you will find that even the sunniest day has some clouds in it and if I might add" he made a quick pause "I also fear that these will be at the gate with cameras"
"I almost forgot" Asami sighed "Thanks for the heads up. You'll help yourself with some tea as always I hope" she added winking towards him.
"You know me too well, Ms Sato" He answered and turned around to go inside. She always liked Hiro, even when he had been young he was funny and wise and now that he had grown older he seemed even more wise.
Asami got into her car and drove towards the gate. When the White Lotus Sentrys spotted her they quickly pushed all the reporters out of the way. She drove through the mass of reporters and was glad she chose the car with the roof. She heard some reporters shouting questions and saw the flickering of what felt like one hundred cameras, but made sure to ignore them.
As soon as she was sure that no one would be jumping in front of her car she pushed the gas pedal down and drove off. The streets were surprisingly empty for a Monday morning and when she turn into the street leading towards the Future Industries Tower she still saw some hints about the battle that occurred in this street a year ago. Some buildings had marks on them werre the Giant Mech had touched them and others didn't stand at all. She had seen some of the destruction when she went to buy the dresses for her and Korra, but it was worse here.
When she went arrived at her building she stepped out of the car and was relieved to not see any reporters waiting for her. Varrick must have cut them off somehow. She went into the building and the receptionist looked up.
"Morning Ms Sato" he said stiffly "Mr Varrick is expecting you in hi....I mean your office"
"Thanks" she said observing the man closely She didn't know him and Varrick must have hired him after she went away or, what was more likely Zuh Li had hired him.
