Ariel looked uncertain as she asked, "Do I need to clear your schedule for the remaining days of this month?"
"Not yet." Kathleen went over a particular document on her table and appended her signature,
"What's the report from Mr Kelly? Has he come up with any new findings on what I asked him to investigate?"
"He called to ask for an appointment. He said he needs to see you in person because it is not safe to talk on the phone."
"Check my schedule for Wednesday and see if we can fix him in."
Kathleen closed her eyes as her slender fingers gently massaged her forehead in a circular motion.
After a few seconds, her eyes gradually opened and focused on the ceramic vase in which were artfully arranged freshly picked peace lilies, giving the office a relaxing atmosphere.
