Chapter 22

"So all you need to do is answer the phone, let us know, if there are any messages, and put these files in order," Sean said as he walked Laura to an empty desk.

"Wow. So in other words, I'm a secretary."

"You can say that."

"Great."

"Oh, and lunch is at noon."

"Great."

Suddenly a foster family walked in and Sean went up to greet them.

"Ah, hello Mr. and Mrs. Smithson. Here for our meeting check up I see."

"Yes, sorry we are a few minutes late but there was a traffic hold up at Main Street."

"Don't worry. I had some trouble myself this morning." He then noticed that Laura was still with him, "Oh, this is our secretary and child caretaker here at the center, Laura Mitchell."

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Laura said.

"The same," Mrs. Smithson replied with a smile.

"Well, we should get started. You wouldn't mind taking care of these kids would you," Sean said to Laura directing her attention to a little boy and girl.

"No problem," she replied.

"Okay, now if you'll come with me we can start our discussion," Sean said as the couple followed him into the conference room."

"Hey! So what are your names," Laura said to them.

"Brian," the little boy replied.

"Cassandra," his little sister said.

"I'm Laura. While your parents are in the interview want to go watch some TV in the other room?"

"Okay," Brian replied.

"Follow me," Laura said leading them the way.

Her first day at work wasn't going as bad as she thought.
