The next day was a little smoother than the previous day. With Hugo finally taking things a little easier, and me beginning to feel accustomed to him being around, things were starting to run smoothly for me.
Adaptation was my most prized skill, and right now, I could not have been more happy about that. Seeing new notifications on my monitor didn't surprise me anymore, and the only thing throwing me off a little bit was the progress reports that I was getting from our branches in the east and Oceania. I wasn't expecting them to report back to me so soon.
"Knock knock!" Helena sang as she pushed open my office door, coffee in both her hands. "It's four in the afternoon and you haven't had a cup of coffee other than the one you came in with this morning. Have you been brainwashed?"
"I wish," I reached out to the cup she was handing me, words of gratitude spilling from my lips immediately. "You don't know how much this means to me, thank you so much."
