Chapter Three

“So after I complete the research on this today, do you want me to send you my findings or would you rather me put a memo together for you to look at this weekend?” Lauren asked Spencer while gathering the notes that she was given for her new research project.

“I think it would be best if you put together a brief memo. Just summarize the cases, the corresponding legislation, and any other sources you may have found. Once you get that together you can email it to me or drop it off with my secretary.”

“Ok. I will get this to you by Friday afternoon. Have a good day Dr. Carlin.”

“Thank you Ms. Daniels.” Spencer followed Lauren out to the hallway just outside her office when she noticed Ashley sitting on the couch waiting.

“Oh Professor Davies, how long have you been there?” Spencer looked at the clock on the wall and noticed that it was only 7:45.

“Please call me Ashley. I know I’m a bit early I just wasn’t sure if I would be able to find your office.”

Spencer nodded her head and asked “So is there anything you would like to drink? There should be a new pot of coffee in the break room or we have bottled waters in the fridge.”

“I’m quite fine thanks.” Ashley and Spencer walked into Spencer’s office where Ashley looked around before sitting. “I love your office. It has a very homey feeling to it. So what’s on the agenda today Spence?”

“I was thinking that we could start on the east side of campus where the engineering, business, and architecture buildings are. Then, when we reach the law building we could eat at the café that was just recently added. After lunch I have a 1:30 class. Once class is out we could finish up on the west side of campus where the foreign language, math, English, science and art buildings are. Finally, ending up at the music building which you probably know more about that building than I do so you may need to show me around instead.” Spencer smiled at Ashley. “I know it’s a lot to do in one day so I just figured we could get as much done today as we can then finish up tomorrow. How does that sound?”
