Adelyn arrived at the office shockingly on time after rushing to get home considering she slept over at Ryan's apartments,  she didn't feel right to leave Ryan in that condition so she stayed over and they fell asleep watching movies together

Her alarm woke her up and thankfully she set it for 2 hours early in fear that something would make her late on the first day

Before speeding home Adelyn made sure to send Ryan a text saying she had to leave because of her new job, Adelyn didn't want to give Ryan the wrong idea of why she left so early

Getting her car valeted she took fast strides to reach the humongous entrance door, as she reached to touch the door it was being pushed open by a door man to the right of her

"Oh y'all fancy here, thank you" Adelyn grinned giving a small smile to the man before continuing to the front desk

"Hello I'm looking for Alyssa Bailey, I believe is her last name" Adelyn gussed sitting her purse on the counter to the side of her

"Ok, can I have your name and business?" The receptionist asked looking up from her computer

"Adelyn Reeds and I'm here on behalf of 'Mast Law firm'"

The receptionist nodded her head putting her hands back on the keyboard to type Adelyn's name checking what time her meeting was with Alyssa

"It's going to be on the seventh floor at the end of the hall on the left, room 402" She gave Adelyn a pass to put over her neck so she would be able to access the elevators, giving the receptionist a quick smile Adelyn went on her way

Walking in towards the elevators a big crowd of workers followed behind swiftly pushing past Adelyn not giving her a chance to click the button

The elevator quickly filled up with people not having enough room for Adelyn as they repeatedly pushed the close button

Adelyn not wanting to causing a scene despite the irritation running through her, she clicked the arrow pointing up and seconds later the doors opened to the second elevator

Stepping in she looked around for a moment before smashing the seventh floor and close door button

The elevator rode up giving Adelyn a chance to catch a breather before meeting her new boss, it excites her but also made her worry at the thought of having to adapt to the new environment

Leaving Chicago to go to North Carolina for college was one of the hardest things to do but her brother and father encouraged her

Moving back to Chicago after almost 10 years had brought back them exact same feelings, Aside from her brother, father, and Ryan there wasn't exactly people to interact with here

A text notification pulled Adelyn from her thoughts, getting her phone from her purse she checked it discovering the text was from Ryan replying a simple 'ok' to Adelyn's previous text
