6. Surprise Call

Few days later...

I wake up like usual, get ready and head out. I get to Mr. Skeppy's house and knock on the door. Mrs. Rose opens it and smiles, "Good morning Bad." I smile, "Good morning Mrs. Rose, how are you?" She shrugs, "As good as I can be." "Aw why the down mood?" I ask. 

She responds, "I have to go to a birthday party I do not want to go to at all later." I laugh, "I can go with you if you'd like?" She laughs along, "No, no, it's alright. You're busy enough as it is." I ask, "Why do you not want to go?" 

She frowns, "The new episode of my k-drama is coming out later so i'd rather be home." I smile, "Well hope it all goes well and you get to see your new episode today." She sighs, "I hope so. Mr. Skeppy is in his room drinking coffee, sometimes he doesn't get enough sleep. That's something to watch out for at times Bad." I nod, "Will do Mrs. Rose." She says, I'll tell him you're here a bit early." I nod, "Thank you."

A minute or two later Mr. Skeppy shows up and says, "Let's go." I say goodbye to Mrs. Rose and she waves at us as we pull out of the driveway. I decide to talk to Mr. Skeppy in the morning for once, usually we sit in silence. 

I ask, "How was your morning Mr. Skeppy?" "Fine," he replies. Wow, not even a thanks for asking, or it was fine, how was yours Bad? We drive in silence like normal to the office and I open the back door for him to get out. 

We go to the top floor where his office and my desk is. He goes into his office and says, "Don't bother me this morning, just send me the schedule and I'll read it myself." I nod, "Yes sir." How rude: "Don't bother me this morning," he said. 

I sit at my desk and look over the schedule before sending it to him. And I read that there's a branch lunch all together. I smile, "Cool, I get to have lunch with them...but Mr. Skeppy's going to be there." I frown and sigh as I email it to Mr. Skeppy. 

A few minutes later he comes out of the office and says to me, "Bad, go to the branch lunch alone and take notes for me. I don't want to go." I ask, "Are you sure sir?" He nods, "I have no time for simple chit chat, you go there and write down what I need to know. Then come back once you're done eating." 

I nod, "Yes sir." He goes back into his office and a smile grows on my face. I whisper to myself, "Yay lunch with the team!" 

Before I leave for lunch, I make Mr. Skeppy his tea tray with the delights as well. I go into his office, set it down, and say, "I'm leaving now for the branch lunch sir." "Alright," he replies. I walk out of his office and go to the other office. 

I say, "Hi everyone. Mr. Skeppy won't be joining us today, so I'll just be taking notes down for him instead. Are you guys ready for lunch?" The team looks up at me smiling, "Yes we are!" We all head out and find someplace to eat. 

We sat at a large booth with Puffy, Foolish, and I on one side. The other side is Sapnap, Karl, and Ant. Then at the head of the booth, Technoblade got a chair to sit there. I ask, "How are you guys doing?" Puffy smiles, "Good because I was so worried all morning about this lunch." "Why?" I ask. 

Sapnap shudders, "We were all nervous about having lunch with Mr. Skeppy." Karl smiles, "But now it's just you so it's just like any other lunch I suppose." Ant says, "Yeah, I think I can actually eat food since he's not here." I say, "Yeah I know how you guys feel." 

Foolish says, "It must be stressful being around him so much Bad." I shrug, "It can be, but a lot of the time it's just the two of us focused on work. We can actually get along well if it's about work. Everything else though is nerve wrecking." 

Technoblade says, "It's good to see you're still standing with all the stress of the job. We've never got that position, but even we know how hard it is. Good job Bad." I smile, "Thanks. Should we order now?" They all nod in agreement.
