Chapter 24
So, it turned out that I did recognize Rosalie. She was friends with Edward, Jasper and Alice. I kinda felt stupid for not knowing about her. I wondered why none of them had mentioned that she worked here. Anyway she seemed nice, and she was more than willing to answer any questions I had. She even told me that I could knock on her door if I needed help and Carlisle was busy.
Nine o'clock rolled around far too quickly, and I was soon left to my own devices. The phone began to ring off the hook and the waiting room started to fill with people. I was stressed just trying to find my way about the computer and keep on top of everything, but somehow I managed, and the morning buzz slowly began to die down.
"How are you coping?" Rosalie asked, coming over to my desk.
"Barely," I sighed.
Rosalie put her hand on my shoulder and squeezed it. "Mornings are usually the busiest. It shouldn't be too bad for the rest of the day. If I had more notice of you starting I would have rearranged my appointments so that I could have sat with you at the desk for a few mornings and helped you get the hang of things."
"That would have been good. Maybe you could run over a few more things at lunchtime? I'm still struggling with the appointment system and the call manager. I guess it's been a while since I've been on a computer."
"Sure," Rosalie smiled. "I'll have Emmett bring me something over for lunch so that I can sit with you."
Emmett, Rosalie's boyfriend was a beast. I made a note after seeing him never to piss him or Rosalie off. He certainly wasn't someone you wanted to get on the wrong side of, but he did appear friendly enough. I was glad that he didn't hang around when he dropped off Rosalie's lunch.
"So how did you two meet?" I asked Rosalie as she joined me at the desk.
"Childhood sweethearts."
"That's nice."
"What about you? Do you have anyone back in Philly?"
I shook my head, refusing to think about my home and him. I gathered by her question that she didn't know that Edward and I had become a… thing. I was surprised that Alice hadn't told her. Perhaps Edward had asked Alice not to. Maybe Edward didn't want anyone to know about us.
I didn't ask her any more personal questions after that. I was worried that she'd take that as a leeway to ask me some in return. We ate our lunch and she showed me around the computer. Not long after that, it was time to begin work again.
