~Casey Halls~

"Casey, I am so sorry about Emily." After Emily gave Mr. Castle and I a lecture, she stormed off with his credit card. I quickly jumped into the nearest elevator with Mr. Castle chasing after me.

"It's fine Mr. Castle" He eyed me looking unsure of my response. Hopefully he doesn't press the matter. To much has happened and the day is just getting started. When the doors to the elevator open, we get off.

"We should start preparing for the meeting, may you please get the room ready?" Mr. Castle asked.

"Of course, just let me get a few things from my office." We both take off in separate directions each of us having different tasks.

Returning to my office, I grab the notes that Mr. Castle is going to need along with the charts I made for him so his clientele has a better understanding of the sales regarding the prototype.

Once I get into the conference room, I set the notes and charts on the table in front on the screen Mr. Castle will be using in his presentation. Then I grab two crystal bowls and put one on one side of the long table and another one on the other side of the table. I fill them both with mints.

Next, I set up coasters in front of each chair and place a glass on top. All glasses are filled with ice with a water bottle next to it. Mr. Castle saunters in with his briefcase and I set up his laptop on the table where his notes reside.

After connecting the laptop to the screen, Mr. Castle hands me the briefcase. The briefcase contains the prototype watches.

"Casey, Mr. Castle, Mr. Wells and others are in the elevator heading up." Lydia's tells us from the intercom.

"Okay, it's showtime. Casey, please go wait for Nick and his associates at the elevator and escort them here." I nod and grab my portfolio from the table. Inside my portfolio, it gives the names of those with Mr. Wells. Heading to the elevator, I pass Missy and Cece's office and they seem to be in a deep conversation about the new guy.

"Omg Missy, I heard that his wife left him to work a job in California"

"Well I heard that he dumped her for an older woman"

They both continued gossiping about him but stop until I fully pass by the office.

"Isn't that Mr. Castle's assistant?"

"Yeah, his little hired help haha."

I just ignored them, I already dealt with enough drama today regarding Mr. Castle's stupid girlfriend. Quickly, I notice Mr. Wells and his company.

"Hi, you must be Mr. Wells. I'm Casey, Mr. Castle's assistant. If you follow me, I'll take you all to the conference room."

•••

"That was quite a success. Couldn't have done it without you!" Mr. Castle thanks me.

"Thank you."

"No thank you. Now go, I can take care of everything else today. The meeting with Mr. Wells was the only busy thing on my schedule." Mr. Castle presses the button on the intercom. "Lydia, please call Aaron Davenport and tell him we are gonna need his help tomorrow."

"Right away Mr. Castle" Lydia responds.

Mr. Castle and I clean the conference room and I leave to gather my things from my office so I can go home.

After a long day's of work, I am finally in the elevator of my apartment. When the doors open two very sweaty guys board once I get off. They left the door to one of the homes open. I'd close it but they might be coming back. When I pass by it, I take a little sneak peek. This apartment his been vacant for quite some years now. I live right across from it, so if someone does come back then I just use the 'can't find my key' excuse.

By the looks of it, they just moved in. There's a few unpacked boxes lying around and trash bags with shoes spilling out.

"Gah gah?" Down at my feet is a small infant child, she's very cute and I'm fighting the urge to pick her up and cuddle her. I guess I should mention that I am deeply in love with babies, probably more in love with babies than cats but don't tell Ronnie and Ralph or they might destroy my new slippers.

"Hey there cutie, where's your mommy and daddy?" I bend down to her level, she coos and giggles. She pushes herself up and raises her arms. I'm guessing she wants me to pick her up but I can't. I mean I just can't pick up someone else's baby. Looking around there's no here watching her. I can't just leave her alone, but then again it isn't my problem. It's none of my business so maybe I should go back in my apartment and pretend I didn't see anything.

But looking at those chocolatey brown eyes, I can't help myself. I pick her up and cradle her in my arms. She starts to play my necklace, looping it through her small fingers.

"Um excuse me?" The sweaty guys from before have returned and don't look to happy to see the baby in my arms.

"I'm guessing she belongs to you" I am kinda disappointed and relieved. Disappointed because I can't play with the baby anymore and relieved because the baby gets with her family.

"No not to us personally but to our friend Aaron. We were watching her while him and his mother finished unpacking but someone forgot to close the door when we left." One guy was blue eyes looks at a guy with grey eyes. He points at himself. "Yes you Cameron"

"I thought it closed" Cameron explained. Blue eyes just shakes his head.

"Well anyway I'm Kendall and this here is Cameron." He takes my new friend from my arms. "Say bye bye Erica" Erica waves goodbye, I wave back. Then the sweaty guys I now know as Kendall and Cameron go back into Erica's house and this time they remember to close the door.

*cell phone rings*

"Hello?"

"Casey?!"

"Oh hey mom, how are you?"

"I'm good, guess what?" Yeah thanks mom, my day was great thanks for asking.

"What?"

"Your cousin Rachel is getting married?! Isn't that exciting?" Well it's about time, I thought Peter would never propose.

"Yes mom, very exciting. When's the wedding?"

"Next Saturday, do you think you could be there? I mean it would mean a lot to Rachel and Peter if you came. Plus your father and I would get to see you because you never visit. Your grandmother might be near death so coming would make her wishes come true before well...... you know." Oh yes, guilt tripping is my mother's specialty.

"Of course, I wouldn't miss it for the world." My mother screams in excitement. We continue to talk more about what I need to pack and when I should leave before I hang up.

Falling back on the sofa, Ronnie jumps into my lap.

"Well Ronnie, looks like I'm going back home."

Finally I updated. Sorry if there are mistakes, I will try to correct them but let's be honest. I'm sure that it will take forever to fix all my mistakes. But don't worry I will try although I am very busy.

Not sure when the next update will be but stay tuned!!
