Nikolas POV
It was another day at the firm, ya know working on cases, sending out files, tons of emails but that was life and i was in the zone typing away on my iMac then I looked up to see Marc standing at the closed french doors with this shit eating grin on his face, which I couldnt fathom why, its Monday."Come in Marc." I said while going back to typing
"Hey bro I just got these amazing Danishes from that bakery ya know the one up town."
"And you came to me about this why? " I said with an irritated look on my face.
" Because they're good and I brought you one so you could try it."
"Ugh fine if I take the stupid Danish will you leave so I can get back to work."
"Sure but you should take break to fully appreciate the handmade deliciousness that is this Danish"
"Marc I have a company to run no time for breaks."
"Bro I run a motorcycle shop and here I am taking a day off you have 15 minutes or more to take a load off eat this Danish and enjoy yourself.
"To ensure you do I'm taking your computer."
I really didnt take him seriously so I glanced at him and resumed looking through my emails, only for the computer to be lifted off the desk.
He closed it and before i could get it back he was sprinting down the corridor and he was in the elevator.
"Just eat the Danish bro, that's all." he said sticking his tongue out before the elevator closed.
Sighing I made my way back to my office then I remembered I backed up all the files and cases into a drive, not exactly for this moment but because Alice, my clumsy assistant,has a habit of knocking over beverages that sit on my desk, which in turn drenches my files, computer,and sometimes me.
Now you may wonder why I haven't fired her yet with all the trouble she's caused,but she's like a sister to me. That and when she applied for this job she was all business like and wasnt all up on me like the other applicants, and that's why Alice Marrero is still employed here.
After getting the drive out of of my drawer I got up and went to find another laptop.When I came back I stopped at the doors noting they were open, weird, because I know I closed them. I went to sit at my desk, I grabbed for the drive only to find a piece of stationary in its place which read:
Tsk tsk tsk Niko, a drive, really, I simply wanted you to take a break and eat the Danish. So now I got your laptop and your drive,when you eat the Danish you can come get them, I'll know if you don't and I didnt waste my money so you best eat it.
See you soon M.C😜I knew how difficult he'd be about this so I decided to just eat the Danish. I grabbed the bag seeing it was labeled Sweet City since 1975. Opening it I see a strawberry Danish with cream cheese drizzled over.
Looks pretty good actually. I thought. I took a bite and it was like heaven for your mouth, I kid you not. Of course I wasnt gonna tell Marc that but I am so getting my stuff back.
