Take Note of the Rhythm

The Blackjack

"Where did you find it?" Dad asked me while we were having breakfast at our very wide table. I only ate eggs instead of having something else served like an entire lobster, cream, chives and lobster sauce that is only for breakfast. 

"In my cabinet, dad. I was looking for my other notebooks that I didn't use last year, then I found it." "Why do you need to find an old one when you can buy a new one?" There is always a lot of wasted stuff every school year because instead of just using my unused stuff, they will buy me new ones.

 "I'm okay with my old notebooks dad."

 "I can get you a latest notebook at the office, we launch a new notepad exclusively for students so that paper companies don't waste trunks making paper, impressive right? What do you think? I'll get you later. "

 "You still haven't answered my question, is that book mine? Because I can't remember if you gave it to me or if you just left it in my things." Dad looked at the book next to him again and just ate again. While mom gave me a look and said eat some lobster. It's still early for this lobster but I'm used to our breakfast being catered.

"It's the corporations book, honey. Maybe I just forgot and mixed it with your stuff, let your dad keep it. Now, eat some caviar, here!" Mom said.

 I didn't mention the key I found because I took it and only returned the book, they can take it and look for it if it's important. 

It's 9 am in the morning and I was going to get ready to go to the book store but mom told me that dad forgot something so we'll take it to his office. She also said that I can take the moderNotes that dad mentioned earlier.

"Shouldn't we take Chain with us?" I asked.

"Chain is studying, remember? Her academic year started earlier so we shouldn't disturb her while taking session with Ms. Noran." Mom took out her black card and signaled our driver to prepare the car.

I'm thinking of inviting Chain to her free time so she can go shopping and have fun since the school year is approaching and I won't be able to wander around anymore, especially bond with her often. 

We have arrived at the building where the internal stakeholders of The Blackjack Clan operate, this is an enormous company in the country, a business that focuses on developing and selling technology products or providing technology services. They be involved in a wide range of activities, including research and development, manufacturing, marketing and sales, and support and maintenance. I forgot if they brought me here before because I just now saw these exteriors again. Almost all the features in this building are sophisticated. 

There is only one Blackjack Clan building in the nation, but there are many more in other states. This company has become so vast that even corporations that manufacture various gadgets come here to acquire ideas and tools in order to carry out and introduce innovative things. We have entered through the e-tech conveyer that will go directly to my father's office. 

"Hun! What are you doing here, you know you can't come here unless you have an appointment, and you even brought Claire with you." Dad doesn't seem to agree with us going here even though mom works with him. However, mom told the reason why we went. Since I've been here, dad has sent me the ModerNotes that he was proud to have created and given to me.

"Where have you been?" Chain said while I was in the living room."In Blackjack, look at it, Chain." I handed her the ModerNotes that dad gave me. I was wondering whose idea it was because I'm sure it would have been expensive to sell if it wasn't free.

"That's just one, if you want to borrow it, you can." I said.

"You can have it all, Claire. I won't be needing it to my freaking home school sessions."

"Uh, fine.. Blackjack is really great, isn't it? I just hope there is also a chance to develop the inventions of other people who are not in the company, like outside citizens right?"

"They actually use other people, they just don't give credits." Chain said seriously while exploring the tablet.

"How did you know?"

"I just know." I was surprised when she gave me my ModerNotes back and unlocked other functions that I hadn't previously seen. It used to simply resemble an Ipad as that is how its functionality should be, but now it has a concealed touchpad that makes it look more like a desktop.
