She didn't have a boyfriend at the moment, and she'd broken up with her last one a couple years before, so she certainly didn't have a baby with her or anything. And she didn't want one yet either. It was enough having to deal with as many siblings as she had over the years. No need to add a baby to the mix, especially when she was alone now.
She listened intently to the advice Jade was giving her and nodded as she mentally noted it so she would remember. "Thanks for telling me," she replied genuinely. That would definitely be helpful. Didn't want to be late to any meetings after all. That'd be bad.
As for questions...she couldn't think of any. So she shook her head. "No questions for right now," she answered. "Just excited to see the next level." Especially considering the name. Department of Mysteries sounded so...mysterious. Hehe.
As they were waiting for the lifts, Jade heard her name being called. She looked around and say that there was a young woman running up to her. Noticing that the young woman was out of breath and holding the message that Jade had put up by the fountain, Jade said.
"Ah, You must be Ms. Barbieri. Nice to meet you. This here is Cora Greenwell. You have arrived just in time for the tour to start."
The lift pinged and its doors opened. Jade led the other two inside instructing them to hold on tightly. Then she pressed the button for level nine.
