"I understand, completely. My father used to tell me stories about when he would meet your father and none were good." Sophie said with an understanding smile.

"Now onto the part that makes this job worth having. The base pay, without over time, is $75,000 a year. You will also get paid time off." I said as I watcher her eyes widen in surprise. "I promise you that this job will make you work for it."

A knock on my door drew our attention to it as Leo and Zack stepped through. Sophie instantly stood up as they waked in. I stood up with her as I asked Leo, "Time to go?"

"Yes it is but if you need to finish up, I can wait outside." Leo said as he motioned to Sophie.

"Please?" I asked with a smile. "It will only be a few more minuets. I am just giving her a basic run down. Zack will giver her the rest tomorrow."

"It is a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Tunner. I look forward to working with you. I have to give you props for earlier. Only Hannah has been able to show that much confidence in my presence when she first meet me. In face she actually insulted by designing skills." Leo said with a laugh. "You may call me Leo as long as it is only us around."

"Oh no fair. It took me months to get that kind of privilege." Zack whined which made me laugh.

"Can you two please go?" I asked them. They nodded their heads and quickly left the room which made Sophie laugh at their pouts. I started to grab my things as I said, "Another thing, I am staying with Leo till my mother and William, William Lenox I am sure you have heard of him, come back from their business trip. So I have to emphasize on the father thing and the 'not telling anyone' thing."

"I didn't know that Leo Ward ever took orders from someone. Is there something going on between you two?" Sophie teased me and my face turned red as Zack walked in at that exact moment and answered for me.

"Oh most definitely. I caught them making out earlier today. And he wouldn't shut up about her for two week straight. He even gave her thirty-three percent of the shares to Ward Corp. making her on one of the most powerful people on the planet. And you are correct about the taking orders thing. So I bet that they will be official in..." Zack started to gossip with Sophie but I cut him off.
