Chapter 20: Acquiring An Office Space
The Saturday morning sun reflected off the windows of Midtown Atlanta’s apartment buildings, casting warm light across the waking city.
Ethan eased his new black Audi A7 into a reserved parking spot just outside their destination. The engine went silent as he turned the key.
He then turned to the passenger side where Lillian sat with her knees together and hands folded over a brown folder over her lap.
She wore a white blouse under a beige coat, her hair was tied in a low ponytail, completing her professional look.
She looked a lot more confident than previously, exactly the Midas Ethan remembered.
Ethan on the other hand wore a black suit with a white shirt underneath and black pants that matched his coat.
This, coupled with the car, was a way for Ethan to reward himself. Added to the fact that he couldn’t just wear whatever was available in his wardrobe for something as important as this.

Which was exactly the reason they were here today.
"You nervous?" Ethan asked Lillian as he noticed that she was fidgeting with the folder a bit.
"A bit," she admitted, "I still can’t believe all this is real."
