[Alexa is a woman who likes her privacy. She lives alone, her house kept and tended by paid staff who live in an entirely separate cottage down the road. Her house is surrounded by high hedges that block the views of nosy neighbors, set on a hill overlooking the bright lights of Los Angeles. It's an expensive house; if you have to ask how expensive, you couldn't ever afford it in your lifetime.

This applies to her office, as well. She has half the floor to herself in their downtown L.A. office building, with the first room the private office of her personal assistant, then a hallway with doors opening to a conference room and a presentation room, before her neat, Spartan personal office.

It comes in handy sometimes.

The intercom on her assistant's deck crackles.] Valerie, can you bring me the files for the Vincente account? Thank you.
