Jewel's POV
A couple of hours pass and Eric doesn't return. The busy work he gave me was easy enough. Now, I'm left with nothing to do. Looking around his office, I notice that everything is in place. Nothing seems cluttered. If I got down on my hands and knees right now, I probably wouldn't find a speck of dust.
It strikes me as odd, though, that he doesn't have any personal items in here. Like pictures, books, or even a stereo to play music.
The door opens suddenly and I'm caught off guard at the sight of Max. He steps through the door, hands behind his back. "Jewel, Eric told me you would be here." I stand straight, not wanting to slouch in front of such a prominent figure in Dauntless. "Yes, sir?"
He smiles. "I wanted to offer you a second choice. Instead of assisting Eric, you could assist Ryan. He's also a leader. He mainly does fence detail so he doesn't have much time to take care of things here. Do you think you would be interested in that?"
This is unexpected news. My face must look troubled because Max continues with, "I'll give you time to think about it. You will be able to meet Ryan tomorrow and make your decision." Without another word, he leaves the room with the door open.
I'm left standing with my thoughts. Apart of me doesn't like that I have to choose. What if one of them gets offended?
With nothing else left to do, I exit Eric's office and head to the training room. Maybe putting my energy into something else will clear my head.
Hey you guys!!! 2 updates in one day because both these chapters were really short. So who do you think Jewel will choose?? Eric or Ryan? Vote and comment! Love you!
