professional.”
Emily smiled and felt a huge sense of relief come over her. “Have you talked with Eric lately?”
Mrs. Mason nodded. “Yes, he’s doing well. He’s practicing with the team and slowly buying furniture and other items for his house.”
“He bought a house?”
“Yes, he didn’t tell you?”
Emily shook her head. “No. I’m not surprised, we haven’t been on the same page for awhile now. I’m happy for him though. That’s big step.”
Mrs. Mason sighed and hugged Emily. “Sweetie, call him. I know it would mean a lot to him.”
Emily smiled and waved good bye to Emma, who was playing in the hallway behind them. She walked back to her car and just sat there thinking about her life. She was embarking on a new adventure today but she couldn’t help but wonder what Eric was doing in Denver.
She drove towards the museum and found the employee parking lot. As she got out of her car and headed into the building, she passed by Alex’s car. She couldn’t help but smile and quickly felt better.
She entered the employee elevator and took a deep breath as she stepped out onto her floor. She quickly looked around and spotted Sue rushing towards her.
“Good Morning, Emily! Welcome to our happy little family. Alex wanted me to make sure I got you settled in this morning and show you the ropes.”
“Good Morning, Sue. Lead the way.”
She smiled as Emily followed her to her new desk. George was already there as he waved to Emily through the glass.
“I had the cleaning staff scrub your desk and clean out all the drawers for you. So, make it your own. Of course, we ask people to keep their area respectful but we encourage you to bring in pictures and feel at home.” Emily smiled as Sue continued, “You have an hour lunch and feel free to take that whenever you want, you may just want to touch base with George before you leave.”
Emily smiled. “That sounds good, anything else I should know?”
“I need to take you down to human resources to have you fill out your paperwork. But, we can do that a little bit later.”
George walked out of his office. “Emily! Welcome! Why don’t you come into my office and we will go through some details. Once you are sick of me, Sue can show you down to human resources and finish up your paperwork.”
Sue headed back towards Alex’s office as Emily followed George. “I’m so excited to be working here. I was so nervous about being late this morning and my daughter wanted to fight with me all morning long.”
George laughed. “I’ve been there. Luckily, my wife is a stay at home mother so she has to deal with all the drama in the morning. But, the deal is I have to deal with it at night.”
Emily smiled and nodded. “That sounds fair to me.”
“Well, let’s go over some small details and how I would like things done. Feel free to give me your input and we will see how the first week goes. I want you to feel at ease with me, Emily. I’m an easy going guy as long as Alex isn’t on my back about things. We will have a fine working relationship.”
Emily smiled. “That sounds good to me!”
Over the next hour, they discussed his work and travel schedule. George explained the way that he liked his office run and Emily made sure he understood that she would do everything in her power to make his desk run smoothly.
As they were finishing their conversation, there was a small knock on the door. Emily turned around and saw Sue waiting for her. “Can I steal Emily away for a little bit? We want to get her paperwork filled out.”
“Of course, Sue. We will just finish our chat later this afternoon.” George went back to his work as Emily walked out of the office with Sue. They headed down the hallway and Sue pushed the button on the elevator.
“I think you will enjoy it here. People are so nice and I’m so lucky to be working directly with Alex.”
Emily nodded but couldn’t help but feel uneasy. “He is wonderful. I haven’t seen him
