Desiree acceptd the card with a nod.

"Of course." She said.

"Do as you need to." She then said."I won't hold you up."

"And thank you. I appreciate this." There was some definite sincerity to her voice as she got to her feet and walked with him to the door out.

After he was gone, she just leaned against the door, sighing, heavily. This was definitely something new, something that she really hadn't expected, and something she wasn't entirely sure she knew how to handle. Howe3ver, she also knew that it would be best she didn't linger with this for too terribly long. So she made her way to the den and grabbed her laptop. A quick email later, and she was waiting for either a reply, or jaden to come home.

Hey,

I'm not sure what you're doing at the moment, or how busy at the moment, so I didn't want to call and interupt, or show up and potentially cause alarm or problems.

I've come into some information recently, and I need some business help. I was wondering if you, or someone you might know, would possibly be willing to help me out with this. I am willing to pay for the services rendered, of course. No mattter the price.

Feel free to stop by if you get a chance, or call. However, you know that phone calls are hit or miss with me.

Thank you for your time,

-Desiree. Once that was sent, she just sighed.

What the hell was this world coming to, to have THIS be what happened? It was something that she definitely couldn't hope to answer, but she still found herself wondering.

Desiree just sighed. She'd told him to stop by, but oh well. She wasn't opposed to heading down there, thankfully.

"He really must be busy..." She muttered as she got to her feet.

I'll be there in about fifteen then. She sent simply. She'd thank him properly when she arrived there, and was speaking with him.

"Hmmm, Maybe I should take a thing of the wine that Jaden doesn't like, for him. If I recall correctly, it's onehe might like..." She then said, musing whether or not to do that as she looked to where she knew that the bottles were.

In the end, she decided to grab an unopened bottle, as Jaden's mother had delivered three, and they weren't big fans of them ()Jaden had even told her to give 'em away if sheknew anyone who might enjoy), made sure to leave a note for Jaden for just in case she was still gone when he returned, before using her mana to appear in the entry area of the Unit.

She stepped out, waved to Jake, was let in, and made her way up to Hal's office, where she knocked on the door. After being beckoned to enter, she did so.

"I bring a gift." She said with a laugh before stepping up and setting the bottle on his desk.

"... if you don't l ike it, feel free to regift it. I don't know who would to be honest."

"Good to hear. I think Jaden might be game for just throwing the rest at you too, if you want it later." Desiree commented honestly.

"As for the business...." She started, heaving a bit of a breath.

"It's... well, my brother is finally dead." She started before pausing.

"And Mother had left her company to him." She continued. "By the way, I've been meaning to ask. Where did you find that modified suit? I know my Mother's designs anywhere, and that is one, but lacking some of the ... flair... she usually puts into the lining. Did you do it yourself?" There was definite curiosity to her voice, and face, as she asked her question.

"I ask because it looks far better than what she used to always put out."
