"Our new studio is all set up, you wanna swing by and take a look?" Abigail asked.
"Sure, I'll be right over." Cornelia said.
The new studio was near Lakeview Estates, so they could walk to work, super handy.
It took Cornelia about half an hour to drive from the Hartley Group headquarters.
"Cornelia, follow me." Abigail led Cornelia to the second floor, "Look at this office, great lighting and lake view. Zack and I specially prepared it for you."
Cornelia asked, "I can paint at home, I don’t need to come to the studio every day. Why did you prepare such a nice office for me?"
"No matter where you work, you're a part of our studio, our core. Now that we've moved to a new place, and the space is much bigger than before. We obviously had to consider you." Abigail said.
"What about your and Zack's offices?" Cornelia asked.
"Next door." Abigail said.
Abigail then led Cornelia to the next door. Those two offices also had a lake view, but they didn’t have as broad a view as Cornelia's. The most important thing was that the combined area of Abigail and Zack's offices was roughly the same as Cornelia's.
The ones who always put Cornelia first were her two friends, Zack and Abigail. Cornelia suddenly felt a lump in her throat, her eyes welling up with tears. She quickly turned her head, looking out the window.
Abigail, lost in the joy of the new office, didn't notice Cornelia's emotional state and kept talking, "Cornelia, Zack and I talked, you've quit as the assistant to the president at the Hartley Group. From now on you’ll have much more free time, we three can work together to develop our studio, and strive to make it bigger and stronger."
