300 Before the Press Conference - Part 2
Monday, continued …
Noticing the look that Anna was giving her Amanda determined that she was about to push the boundaries if she teased Anna further.She paused and turned to the realities of the work that was going to be before them.
"Fine, I have the ssage, you do not want to talk about things, but rember there are blinds on your office windows to the main area for a reason, use them next ti, as we do not want to see you and our big boss being passionate in your office."
At that Anna at least had the grace to blush.When Yi kissed her she simply forgot where she was.
Amanda continued "Now I will be serious, but before we get started do you need a hot coffee, or sothing brought in?"
"Just so water or other cold drink."
"I will organise that, as I am guessing you do not want it now.However the departnt is going to have to deal with the fallout from Friday's board eting.The 'new' director of the legal departnt has called a eting at 10:30am and demanded that everyone is there.His words, in the email were 'there are no exceptions, and this ans for board mbers or spouses of board mbers' referring to us."
"I understand that soone from the planning was looking for you with regards to the Sunrise Project.I told them to bring the file, and once I have it I will bring it in.They need so legalities that they have been advised of, and were wondering if you could give them a morandum so that they understand it?"
"Should not be a problem, so I will look at them, ans see what they need and if I can help them.
Can you co and get before the eting?"
"See you then."With that Amanda left Anna's office and Anna settled into not only her work, but more importantly started making her notes for the press conference, checking information as she was doing so.
She noticed there were three emails from ANX, about drafting specific unusual will clauses, and one requesting a editing of an already prepared Family Law Affidavit.Anna opened the will files and realised that the clauses was sowhat different they would not be challenging to draft.One clause was about altering distributions to children base on things the parents have done for them and there were copies of the supporting docunts on the files.The other was about making provision for grandchildren rather than children.
While it was good to be useful, Anna soon determined that the only reason she was doing this was junior lawyers were being lazy.That needed to be stopped so she finished the task and emailed the partners alerting them to the issue so they could address it.
In the twenty minutes to deal with the Wills, Anna noticed Hou Yi had sent her five emails with various information, which she opened and started to prepare for the press conference, making note of the various docunts that would need to be provided to the press.
Before Anna knew Amanda knocked on the door "It is 10:20, Anna we need to get to this eting.The Acting Director Mien, was trained by forr Director Su, and I would guess he will be the one really in control despite what happened at the board eting Friday."
Amanda went over hand handed Anna her crutches and helped her out of her chair.Despite the new stair case connecting the various levels within the legal departnt, Amanda and Anna, made their way to the elevators and went up the floor for the eting.Given that they were among the last to arrive they were at the back of the area until soone spotted Anna on her crutches and helped create a path for Anna to a chair to sit on.
Everyone had gathered by 10:30am, however there was no sign of forr Director Su and the new Acting Director Mien, and people started to grumble as they had been taken away from their work for this eting.It was five minutes later, before both Forr Director Su and Acting Director Mien, exited an office. Forr Director Su, was looking to spot both of them, but he did not notice them and seed pleased.
