On her desk is a gold desk mp, a utensil cup a small potted pnt in the northwest section. There is a bck telephone to her left and her namepte at the front of her desk that reads her position and st name.

  Near the telephone is a picture of Galleria. It depicts her in a white gown wearing a sash and crown. Letha is working on some documents when the telephone rings. After the first ring, she answers.

  “This is reception. You have someone here to see you. They say it’s urgent.” the female receptionist says.

  "Thank you, I'll be right down," Letha says before hanging up
