Chapter 14: A Mess
Sitting alone in a bar with a cocktail before her, Zyn pulled her phone from her purse. Her face was adorned with makeup, wearing a flashy dress that shimmered under the club's disco lights. She first wanted to message the group, but her finger retracted, so she made a call to Jaxon instead.
After a few moments of waiting, Jaxon picked up.
"Hey," Zyn said in a low voice, sighing weakly.
Jaxon's voice came from the phone, "I can hear some jazz there. Are you at a bar?"
"Hm, yeah," Zyn replied. "So, I was thinking. Will you guys be able to join me here? We can also use that as a chance to celebrate Kieran's win today. Are you in?"
Jaxon mumbled, "I don't know if Kieran can. You know, he might be busy making some calls or having meetings. But, anyhow, just call him first."
Zyn nodded, mouthing "ok" without even saying it.
"... I will join you there. The usual bar, right?"
Zyn responded, "Yeah."
