The City Held Its Silence byIrel Knx 100

“As for the tasks you will be doing. For now, the CEO is handling most of the work Mr Gatwick was doing because it’s part of the investigation into his crimes. So luckily the rest of the work he was working on that’s remaining won’t be too much especially since you’ve just started the job,” she explained as she went to the desk. 

“Also, the CEO informed us of the work you did to catch Mr Gatwick and have him arrested. Thank you for your hard work,” she praised me. 

“Oh, thank you,” I replied. 

“Everything is in this pile,” she explained as she grabbed the paperwork. She quickly took me through the files and papers explaining the gist of what I had to do. 

“You can get started and if there’s anything you need help with you can simply call me on the telephone here. Just press this button,” she finished off. 

“Alright, thank you,” I said to her. She then left the room leaving me alone in my new office. 

I sat down at the desk and for a moment looked around the office taking it in. My lips curved into a smile and I spun round in my chair. I couldn’t believe this was my office now. I actually had a corporate job. In my past life I used to think my only purpose in life was to be a socialites wife and focus on raising the family. From my fathers training I thought that was my only purpose in life and that was all I could ever be. However, here I was in an office that was mine with work that I had to do. Like other corporate 

women. 

Thank you, Louis. I said to myself. 

I then began to go through the pile documents full of work to be done. 

I had to organise Louis‘ schedule for the week. There were multiple meetings and events he had to attend. I had to make they all fit together. That included calling some of the people he was going have a meeting to organise a time or reschedule if I saw it clashed with something else. 

I noted that among the list of his meetings one was with the police on an update on the Gatwick case. 

I also had to write some reports and file some paperwork.

The paperwork was actually the easier than organising the schedule. If I was a little confused or needed help I could just look at prior reports and paperwork which were in the folders on the bookshelf. Also I had already gone through some company documents back at Louis apartment so I had familiarised myself with how the company paperwork worked. 

At lunch time I went to eat at the company canteen with the other employees on that worked on the floor. Louis wasn’t present though. 

When I returned to the office afterward when I checked my personal emails on the computer I saw I received response emails from the two hospitals I sent my request to the week prior. I opened them. The Yorkshire general hospital said they are not aware of any diseases that had the symptoms that I listed. 

Which is what I expected them to tell me because even in my past life the doctors had no idea what had caused my sickness but they told me they would continue he looking into it. 

They offered instead to have my request sent to a specialist if I wanted. So I replied that I would like further analysis of the issue and that they can send it to a specialist. 

Where as the family’s clinic replied that I didn’t have the authority to access my mothers‘ medical documents. I would have to ask the head of my family. 

My facial expression fell upon reading this. I had feared that this would be the response they would give me. I would have to ask either my father or brother. My father was technically still the head of my family, but my brother had taken over the family business and ownership of my fathers estate making him the legal head of the family. I doubted my father or brother would approve if I asked either of them. 

I was hoping to confirm whether my mothers‘ sickness was connected to what happened to me in my past life. I had to get it. What do I do? I needed those documents. Of the two, the only person I would even have an inkling of a chance getting any response from was my brother. My lips pressed together at the vexing situation. 

“Comfortable?” I then heard a familiar voice ask me. I looked up from my desktop and found Louis standing by the open door to my office. 

“Louis,” I said his name as he walked into the room. 

“You look a little down is everything, okay?”

“It’s nothing, don’t worry,” I told him as I closed the email page. 

“How are you finding everything?” He asked me. 

“It’s alright so far,” I told him. “I managed to organise your schedule for the week. I was about to come to handle it to you so you could approve.” 

I then handed him the schedule to look through it. 

“Mhmm,” he said as his eyes narrowed as if scrutinising it. “It’s fine. But you could change this appointment here on Wednesday. There’s the fundraising event in the evening which I’ll need time to prepare for,” he told me. 

“Sure,” I said taking the schedule making note of the change I had to make. 

I also showed him the progress I had made in the paperwork which he approved. You’ve been here a few hours and already seem to be getting the hang of things. 

“I have a meeting in less than half an hour, you coming?” He then asked me. 

“Yes,” I responded. Part of my job would also be attending meetings with Louis or accompanying him to them if I couldn’t directly be in the meeting with him. 

I took a laptop which was in drawer of the desk, so I could take notes during the meeting and left with Louis. It was a staff meeting with the managers. 

When I returned to my office I continued with some of the paperwork and jotted everything I had to do the following day.
