Never Will Their Lives Connect

*Sorry for being late...🤭 And I thought I will be able to update regularly*

As they reach the office, Ant wakes Dec up who squints at him.

Dec: "I am sorry, I don't know when I fell asleep"

Ant: "I do, come on"

They exit the car and Dec's eyes widen in surprise Holly Shi-

Ant: "What happened to you? Your eyes look like will pop out of your skull"

Dec: "This is your office? Woah"

Ant shakes his head "Come in"

Dec follows Ant to the giant glass door which slid on it's own as they approached. A man in a three piece suite and a tie was waiting for them, whom Ant acknowledges with a handshake.

Ant: "Ronald, this is Declan. Declan, Ronald is my secretary"

Dec: "Hello"

Ronald: "Nice to meet you sir, please come in"

He leads them to the lift and throughout the way, Dec saw people uncharacteristically hurrying and at times fumbling around. Ant walks straight in with an even pace while Dec had to chant the left foot- right foot, left foot- right foot routine.

They enter the lift which was half the size of their hostel room. For a moment Dec thought what he is doing there. Ronald presses the no-stop button and starts talking to Ant about various things that they have to discuss. Dec felt deeply intimidated by Ant's characters not any different from the billionaires in Hollywood movies.

As they reach their floor, Ronald walks ahead, straight to a wooden door. He opens it wide and stands back so that they could enter. Dec felt uncomfortable and misplaced. Damn! This guy is bloody over the top rich!

He couldn't get his head around how rich Ant was and he felt a huge pang of despair that they are so different and that never will their lives connect.

He enters to the room to a huge office, twice the size of their hostel room.

Ronald: "Your usual sir?"

Ant: "Yes and Dec, what would you like to drink?"

Dec: "Err, tea will do. Thank you"

Ant: "Thank you Ronald"

Ronald exits the room and Ant turns to Dec

Ant: "Welcome to my office. You can wait here or take a tour of the office if you want and here is the TV, you can watch it if you want or, there are books in that corner, you can take whatever you want"

Dec: "Wow, eh, thank you"  Whatever I want?

Ant stares at Dec for a second and then scratches his hair "Are you okay? I don't want you to feel uncomfortable"

Dec chuckles at that feeling relieved

Dec: "It's a bit too much to take in. But yeah, I am alright"

Ant smiles at that and then goes to his table.

Dec: "I don't want to be rude but what should one study to be your secretary?"

Ant's eyes snaps at Dec and he laughs "What? you want to be one?"

Dec shrugs "No! I am more of an Arts guy. Just to know"
