Chapter 103 Logistics Manager
Monday morning for Isabella was something she thought she was prepared enough for.
She quickly realized she had to set some things in place in order to get a seamless day ahead.
"I have the bag ready
We've had breakfast
We're both dressed and ready
Hair's done
Deficient in sleep!", Isabella spoke to her milk dazed baby as she put her in the baby seat.
Sleeping early equals more time to sleep, Isabella came to a conclusion as she wondered how she could possibly get enough sleep whilst with her baby.
Not wasting any time to think about when she still had help from Miss Gina, she quickly locked the door to her apartment, heading towards work.
"We need a car!", Isabella whispered to herself as she put the keys in the bag she packed.
She was to resume to her new workplace that very morning, and yes, Sophia was going to be with her the entire time.
After explaining her situation to the manager, the manager let her work with her baby.
Her job was simple, and it was easy to manage with a baby that wasn't fussy.
That was in the meantime, till she got a more sustainable option.
As a logistics manager, her job was quite simple.
She just had to make sure some things were in place while the warehouse continued its functions.
"Welcome Maria!", Ben, the manager of the warehouse said.
Isabella had met him earlier and thought he was quite considerate.
"Hi Ben. Good morning, I hope you slept well!", Isabella said as she glanced at the name tag.
"Welcome to Green Earth Oil!
You'll meet the rest of the employees later today when everyone is settled.
Come with me, I'll show you to your office!", Ben said as he turned and headed into the warehouse.
"I have an office!?", Isabella asked in disbelief.
"Yes you do!
Also! Let me help you with that!", Ben said, gesturing towards the seat Sophia slept in.
"Thank you so much!", Isabella acknowledged.
Soon enough, Isabella got to her own office, where an elderly woman was coming out from.
"Good morning ma'am!", Isabella said as she walked in front of Ben.
"Hi dear, I'm Mrs Carla
I guess you're the new L.M!", She said, a smile on her face as she stepped to the side.
"Yes I am ma'am!", Isabella answered.
"She's the HR manager! If you're still confused about any other thing you go to meet her!", Ben said as he went to Isabella's new office to gently drop Sophia.
"Yee dear!
I placed a few instructions that would help!
I've also sent some things to your desktop. If you have any questions about anything we can meet technical people or we can go over it together!", Mrs Carla said.
The woman had no idea she was making Isabella feel even more safe.
"Thank you so much ma'am!", Isabella acknowledged once again.
She might not have furthered her education, but Isabella was really glad that she got to use her father's desktop once in a while.
Soon, Mrs Carla and Ben went about their Day, leaving Isabella and Sophia in her office.
Doing me such a huge favor, Isabella thought as she checked up on her sleeping daughter.
Within the time, she had checked the materials Mrs Carla sent and the materials left for her on her table.
She was getting the hang of it.
All she needed to do was oversee the planning, coordination, and execution of the movement and storage of goods, products and supplies.
I have to be on the field a lot, I think I might have to start thinking about nannies or a daycare, Isabella thought seeing what she had to do.
I need to call either Celia or Miss Gina for...
Her thoughts were interrupted by Esteban, the man she had shared a moment with while she was at the festival.
As much as she enjoyed the distraction from the routine, she couldn't ponder on it.
However, the man was making her think a whole lot more the past few days.
Isabella picked the call on the fifth ring seeing that he wasn't going to stop.
"Hello!", she said as she picked the call.
"Hi! I have been waiting on what you had to say about what we talked about before!", Esteban started.
He was very precise with his intentions after all.
"This isn't even the time to be honest!", Isabella said, her phone between her head and her shoulder as she tried to wrap her head around the task she was given.
"Why what's wrong!?!", Esteban asked, quite concerned as she had given him an audience the day before.
"I'm at work and I need all the focus I can get right now!", Isabella answered.
"Oh alright! I guess I'll call later then!", Esteban said.
"Alright!", Isabella replied, cutting the call shortly after.
It might have seemed rude, but she didn't have the time, and she already made that really clear.
\~~~
The search for the woman in particular seemed to have been nonexistent as time passed.
Luciano had specifically given instructions to his men to get back to their appointed jobs.
He had gone back to his aloof self, the only change being the admiration of the lady the mansion's cameras had captured a year before.
He now looked different, his green eyes dull, his beard fuller and his frame much bigger than before.
No one talked or even thought about Isabella, well, that was if you didn't want The Mafia Don to breathe down your neck.
He remained formidable and intimidating as ever, going about his business and focusing on expanding the empire he had built.
Fully giving his attention back to work, the man had realized he felt something, however it was too late.
He held out a little bit of hope however, hope he would see Isabella one day.
What he would say to her if eventually she was found, he had no clue yet.
Saying anything to the lady in question depended on a positive reply from the private investigator he hired to look for Isabella.
The attention he directed to the business was unlike any other.
His scrutiny and determination led to the extermination of oppositions, no matter how big or small.
One he still hadn't found out yet was the one right underneath his nose.
One which Mia was still a part of.
