Chapter 451: + - 451+
Jael stopped to grab coffee on his way to FluxCorp, he already knew how Rosie liked her coffee, sweet, with almond milk.
As he made his way through the quiet but bustling foyer, he considered convincing Asher to get a company. The serious-faced employees all walked to their respective stations quietly, snippets of softly-murmured company-related conversation drifting to him.
If he was truly being honest, it was usually quiet around this time at Asher’s clubs. It was mid-morning so all of the late night stragglers would have been kicked out, the only buzz came from the cleaners and the morning shift staff prepping for a new day.
By afternoon, early day drinkers would have already shown up, mostly camped out in the bar area of the club. The one consistent thing throughout all of that, was the music, low thumping rap, smooth blues, catchy hip hop; it was constant.
Here it was nothing but silence, occasionally he could hear the ping of a machine or a printer going off but that was all there was.
Jael easily found Rosie’s office, the secretary was behind her desk, already busy. He strode in, holding out a covered cup of coffee. "I got you coffee."
Rosie held out a hand to take it, not mentioning the fact that she had already had coffee that morning. "Thank you."
Jael invited himself to a seat in her office, he didn’t drink much of coffee, so he had gotten himself some iced tea instead. At the club, the fanciest thing he would have gotten was a cocktail.
He kept on making parallels and it was just his second day away, maybe he was starting to miss his old job. Getting a break every now and then was nice, but he couldn’t stand to be idle for long.
