Chapter 9: A Good Life
Meanwhile in Feldstein Associates office building, Talia leaned back on the chair rubbing her forehead. All the files have been returned with no work left to them and she knew for sure Aberration will never mess with this firm again.
But must she leave here? Will she bring bad luck wherever she goes? Should she just disappear or plainly... give up?
With various thoughts clouding her brain, she felt extremely weak. It is hard for her to concentrate for long because of her medications and pushing through this made her feel fatigued.
"How did you do it, Talia?" Joe entered checking his phone as Rebecca checked the system one more time to see all the files recovered properly. Talia who didn’t even realise Rebecca’s presence frowned. It is not good to be this vulnerable and absent.
"I told you Tallie is better at hacking than me. It’s just she doesn’t like to do it..."
Rebecca, the ever proud friend she is, started singing praises of Talia.
"I know, I know, sweetheart. Your friend is the best," Joe with a chuckle shook his head. These two who were roommates in University are thick as thieves and his wife is always a mother bear when it comes to her friend Talia.
"What I meant was the issues with Peter Campbell. I was waiting for a call from my father reprimanding me. He personally asked me to represent him well, but... I’m... "
"I sent this to your father. He will never reprimand you but you might receive appreciation," Talia picked up her phone and scrolled through the files while continuing.
"Your father wanted his choice of a candidate to run for Congress in this district but the party heads preferred Campbell possibly because of his connection with the Cray family who are a big donors. Your father had to agree. And in the end, your father got what he wanted. I expect his protégé Trevor Svenson will be announced as a candidate soon. "
Talia spoke fixing her messy hair and picked up her purse to leave.
