Three weeks later.
Monday, at 3:00 in the afternoon, inside Susan's company building.
Mike's 60 square feet office was fully furnished, ready for occupancy. It has the usual office amenities such as a bathroom, flat-screen TV, a cabinet, two desks, and a small living room for Mike to rest and entertain guests and clients. It has a nice view, overlooking the busy street and the park on the left side.
Susan was the one who hired an interior decorator to make the office come to life. Since the office was just inside the building that she owned, it's easy for her to watch the progress of the renovation until it's already finished.
Mike only has to bring Althea to the new office on the first day and have her meet her mother.
"Mother... this is my secretary Althea Merano. Althea, this is my mother Susan," he introduced the two women.
