Getting to the office, Rose makes her way to her desk. Alec had insisted that she have another desk placed inside his cabin so they can work side by side but Rose had outright rejected the idea.
Working in such close quarters with him all day did not sound appealing to her at all. And she also knew he wouldn’t be able to get much work done. So, she had fought hard and retained her desk in the main hallway slightly away from his cabin. Though he had promoted her to the position of a Senior Assistant leaving her with far lesser responsibilities and a lot of time at hand.
Once seated and away from the eyes of others, she tries to keep her emotions in check. The talk with Henry’s teacher had created a slight emotional upheaval in her. Opening her mini-fridge she finds two bottles of strawberry juice and quickly gulps down one.
