Chapter 36: conversations with Ash
"Gabriel, do you know when Violet’s birthday is?" Ash asked sitting on the couch across from Gabriel.
"No. Why?" Gabriel responded not looking up from his paperwork and laptop on his desk. His office was clean, neat and filled with bookshelves that had rows and rows of books on different disease and medicine from all different ages. Gabriel ran a pharmaceutical company, one that mainly dealt with citizens of the night and the half breeds, but also dealt with some of the human’s too. Since coming out to the humans they’ve been able to market more products some they found helped humans, so as of late, Gabriel had been very busy with new contracts and trials. Violet’s birthday had completely slipped his mind, especially because him and his brothers haven’t celebrated a birthday since the year Ash’s mom died.
"Because it’s in a few days?" Ash answered.
"..." Gabriel responded with silence, focusing on the contract for a diabetic medication.
"Gabriel, come on." Ash was getting annoyed. Gabriel was the head of their family for now, but Ash was the strongest and most unpredictable of the brothers, really testing his limits was a gamble, most wouldn’t make.
"Ash, I don’t know what you want me to say, but I’ve got a lot of work that needs my attention, so just get to the point." Gabriel said sternly.
"I want us to do something for her. Nothing crazy big, but maybe ask her ridiculous father to come." Ash answered.
"Well, I don’t care, just you handle it, I’m busy. But I’ll leave my assistant available for you for use at your discretion, now if you’d please get out now, I’d appreciate it." Gabriel said ending the conversation as quickly as it started.
Ash rolled his eyes and left. He’d go find Oliver. Cause at least he’s not a complete piece of shit that doesn’t care.
Oliver was in his room sitting at his computer desk, Oliver was working on a new game, inspired by Violet and her racing and shooter game abilities. He wanted to make a game with more attractive female characters, and put them in guns and cars together. There weren’t enough games that targeted a female audience. His bosses were doubting the games success and ability to make a profit. But Oliver would prove them wrong.
Oliver hears a knock on the door.
