Emily had arrived in Moscow safe and sound. Getting on the plane had been a scary experience. Planes didn't usually scare her, but the thought of her parents had made it so. She had put that aside though.
First, Emily went to her hotel and unpacked. The flight had been wonderful. She hadn't been able to recieve calls from her directors about what to do about this or that, and being able to think about things other than business had been a relief. She had taken some time to rest on the flight and just relax. She had changed into more relaxing garb - it was nice to get out of the businesswoman attire and just be Emily, the young woman, rather than Emily, the CEO. She thought of her parents, and it made her sad. The tears didn't come, but the task ahead of her was daunting. She had doubts about whether or not she would be good enough. If the press was to be believed, the general public thought so too.
She looked at her Wallet, set to Moscow time, and then checked her watch, set to Chicago time. Thankfully everyone there would be sleeping. Emily sighed in relief that her free time would continue for awhile. The sigh shifted to a yawn as she realized how tired she was - jet lag. Coffee and a walk seemed to be in order. She looked up a nearby coffee shop and set her GPS to lead her there.
The walk was uneventful, but cold. She was prepared - it was winter in Chicago too. There was already a patron at the counter.
"Does that get me... anything?"
Emily imagined that had to be frustrating. She had never been in that situation before though. Her heart went out to the woman, however. It couldn't have been a fun situation to be in. Emily stepped forward.
"I'll cover hers, and add a black coffee to that as well."
Emily stepped forward to pay for the purchase.
