DAY ONE

Emily quickly covered her eyes when the light from her window blinded her. Then, she allowed her eyes to adjust to the morning, and once she opened her eyes again, Madam Dorothy stood at the foot of her bed with a smile.

"Good morning, madam; today is a big day," she announced while Emily stared at the older woman with confusion clouding her face.

"Big day? What are you talking about? She asked the older woman, and almost immediately, the smile on Madam Dorothy's face disappeared.

"You forgot?"

"Forgot what?" Emily asked the older woman.

"Madam, today is the day you take over Mr. Sorrentino's position at the office." Emily's eyes widened at the surge of information she was getting from Madam Dorothy. Then, without wasting any more time, Emily pulled the sheets aside, stepped out of bed, marched out of her room, and made her way toward Angelo's room.
