The long walk had been oddly comforting to Sophia. It's been ages since she had a very entertaining conversation with anybody. Aiden was relishing the moment they finally got to spend together outside the office.

"Mr. Cooper, thank you… " she started, but Aiden interrupted her.
"Sophia, we've known each other for a while now. Not only are we business partners, but neighbors too. You should stop calling me Mr. Cooper. I prefer Aiden," he replied.

"Aiden, thank you for the groceries. Just give me your bank account, so I can send you the money," she said.
"Sophia, come on, I just explained we are neighbors. Are you trying to block me again?" he sighed.
"But…," Sophia was once again interrupted.
