Upon reaching a restaurant, Vera Wave came to a halt.
"Merlin, you go ahead and grab a bite inside the restaurant; wait for me. I need to meet a friend upstairs. I'll be back soon."
"Alright," Merlin Bradley said as he took the documents from Vera's hands. "Do you want me to order anything for you?"
Vera thought for a moment. "Let's discuss that when I get back. You go ahead and eat, and remember to keep the receipt for reimbursement."
Waving goodbye to Merlin, Vera jogged towards the office building behind them, took an elevator to the sixth floor, arrived at door 607, and knocked.
"Come in."
A familiar male voice emerged. She took a deep breath, put on a smile, and walked in.
This was an office. Kris Cooper was casually leaning back in his chair. Upon seeing her, he immediately pushed himself up using the armrests.
Vera scanned the room. Seeing no one else, she walked up and started in a sugary voice, "Honey, have you eaten?"
