"What's it about?"

He sighs.

"Just a get together event. I wanted to do this for my employees, since they've worked hard all of last week."

"That's very nice of you." I hoarse, my throat still feeling like I've swallowed wood chips.

"What do you plan on doing?"

"An all paid trip to an amusement park in Cravensville. You know, for next Saturday."

"Really? David, that sounds awesome!"

"Ha, you excited?" I blush at my own abruptness and scratch the back of my neck.

"Yeah I... I always wanted to go to an amusement park. It'll be fun to actually exp-"

"Wait, you've never went to amusement park before?" Was it really that weird? I

grey suit. The glass protecting the flamboyant array of desserts near the cashier desk take the

attention of a few customers, some of them giving me incredulous looks as they glance my way.

I don't mind it however, I'm the best dressed here. I reign superiority as always.

Finally, a familiar face appears around the corner as I predicated it would. Decked out in a

Cerulean blue dress shirt with a Dashani skirt, she clacks her way inside the shop, not giving me

two looks before sitting across from me. She brushes off her skirt as I lazily stare at her.

"Nice to see you're wearing a color that brings out my eyes." I joke, watching her chocolate irises

look up with annoyance.

"You better make this quick Mr. Hamsure. I don't do well with people wasting my time."

"Oh no, I'm not here to waste no time Ms. Collete. Just a moment to speak with you is all." She
