Me: Club Nyx, tonight. And leave the attitude.

Aria: Are we talking about me or you here? I'm not one of your soldiers that you can simply order to do whatever you crave.

Me: It would favorable for both of us if I didn't have to drag you here.

Aria: Would it now?

Ash: Dorian will pick you up.

Aria: Lucky me to be assigned a chauffeur as if I am one of your women who you are in desperate need of...

Aria: Asshole.

She was incredibly moody this morning, and whilst I knew she was never a morning person, which, was ironic considering she was the owner of a company that required her to obtain little sleep-for reasons unknown to me I comprehended that she hadn't received her vanilla frappucino yet.

"Do you always get her coffee?" The tapping of my fingers syncs with the tick rock of the clock. Colors of warmth emersed the room and an extremely large settee. I believed the setting was meant to make you feel comfortable, at home. Perhaps I didn't receive the memo.

My eyes narrowed as I discerned her question. It had been five, almost six, years since I'd set foot in this office and not much had changed. It appears that I'm returning to everything I'd once left behind. Her query wasn't a hard one, it just rubbed off on me the wrong way. As if she was saying something distinct from what she asked.
