Jackson Hewitt {Ml}
Too much...? {grabs her hand} Ella I will bring you the moon if you ask me to
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
But I don't need the moon
Jackson Hewitt {Ml}
{sighs} the point is... I will give you anything you want ...all you gotta do is just ask
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{smile and kiss his cheeks} I know.... but still this is too much...it makes my gift to you seem worthless
Jackson Hewitt {Ml}

Jackson Hewitt {Ml}
{pull the seat back}
Gabriella Matthew {FL}

Gabriella Matthew {FL}

Gabriella Matthew {FL}
It's feels too cheap now
Jackson Hewitt {Ml}
Nothing you ever gave me is too cheap
Jackson Hewitt {Ml}
And as the saying goes .... it's the thought that matters
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{scoffs} says the guy who goes over the top by planning a candle night date
Jackson Hewitt {Ml}
In my defense I did put some thought in it

Gabriella Matthew {FL}

Mr Bryan
I hope the elevator didn’t scare you again today.
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
Ha ha not funny Mr Bryan

Mr Bryan
Yet I can't seem to get your reaction away from my head
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
Was it really that funny thou
All I remember was being suffocated
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
Do you enjoy my near-death experience?!
Mr Bryan

Mr Bryan

Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{smile}
Mrs Thomas
You both seem giddy this morning
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
Good morning Mrs Thomas
Mrs Thomas
morning. What's up with you and Mr Bryan?
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
We just happened to get trap in the same elevator last month and he won't stop teasing me for it
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{sat down and type in my password on the computer}
Mrs Thomas
He seems to be really fond of you.... if he does the same thing everyday
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
Or he's just a physco who enjoys people suffering
Mrs Thomas
{chuckle} Men do have weird ways of hitting a girl up
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
None of that is happening between us Mrs Thomas
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{working}
Mrs Thomas
Gabriella ? are you coming?
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
Coming where?
Mrs Thomas
Didn't you heard
we have a meeting today
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
Seriously
How am I hearing about this last minute
Mrs Thomas
Didn't you get the email this morning
am sure Mr Eliyahu sent it on the group chat
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
Did he ?
Jeez I wasn't able to check my phone all day ...!
Mrs Thomas
{sighs}
You should really keep an eye on the group chat, Gabriella.
Anyway no time, grab your notebook. We’re already late.
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
(panicking slightly, standing up)
Late? As in already-started late?
Mrs Thomas
As in
walking-fast-can-still-make-it late
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
Great. Just great.
(grabs her bag quickly)
Why do meetings always happen on the busiest days?
Mrs Thomas
You’ll get used to it. Come on.
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{rushed into the meeting room with Mrs Thomas}
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{took an empty sit on the left side next to Mr Bryan}
Mr Eliyahu
{cleared His throat}
Mr Eliyahu
Alright, let’s get started. Since most of us are here now.
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{set down her things}
Mr Eliyahu
First, I want to appreciate everyone’s effort over the past few weeks. Deadlines have been tight, but overall, the progress has been good.
Mr Eliyahu
The marketing and operations teams will need to coordinate more closely going forward.
Communication gaps slow everyone down, and we can’t afford that.
Mrs Thomas
{whispering} Seriously...?! Do we have to work together
Those guys act like jerks
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
Not all of them {whisper back}
my best friend is in the operation team
And she's really nice.
Mr Bryan
{whisper} Oh, so you are buddy buddy with them
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{turn to face him} not exactly just with my friend
After going through updates, tasks, and reminders, Mr Eliyahu rested his hands lightly on the table, his tone shifting
Mr Eliyahu
Before we wrap up, there’s something important everyone needs to know.
Mr Eliyahu
The CEO will be coming to Los Angeles.
Mr Eliyahu
It’s been three years since he left the branch in my care, and he’ll be arriving in three days.
Mr Eliyahu
During his stay, he’ll be observing operations, meeting teams, and reviewing performance. So I expect everyone to be professional, focused, and diligent.
Mr Eliyahu
This is not a reason to panic—but it is a reason to do your best. Let’s show him that this branch has been in good hands.
Mr Eliyahu
That's all for today. You are all dismissed
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{stood up} CEO....? I thought Mr Eliyahu was the CEO of this company
Mrs Thomas
Seriously!?
you have be here for three months and you didn't know
Mr Bryan
Cut her some slack Mrs Thomas
she's not very obvious to her surrounding
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{roll my eyes} I feel like am being bullied for not knowing about the CEO

Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{grab a tray of food}
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{spotted chole}
Chole masala {FL friend}
{waving}
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{walk towards her and sat down}
Chole masala {FL friend}
You are late again
am almost done with my food
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
I got held up in a meeting
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
can you believe that Mr Eliyahu wasn't our CEO
Chole masala {FL friend}
Yeah {eating} didn't you know that?!
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
No I Didn't know
Am I the only one who doesn't know
Chole masala {FL friend}
Technically yes
Chole masala {FL friend}
{eating}
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{eating} then have you seen the CEO before
Chole masala {FL friend}
Nope
nobody has
Chole masala {FL friend}
I heard from A friend that he's coming back after 3 years because he has some unfinished business with his family
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
That sounds unsettling
Chole masala {FL friend}
It's just a rumor thou
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
if you aren't sure about the information then why tell me ?
Chole masala {FL friend}
You are the one who asked
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
{eating}
Chole masala {FL friend}
{stood up} I should probably get back to work
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
You are just going to leave me here ?
Chole masala {FL friend}
Am not the one who asked you to come late. Bye...{left}
Gabriella Matthew {FL}
Ugh.... this girl
