Chereads / Entry 43 / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

The office is heavily lit. A woman in her chair checks the documents, signing and correcting the paperwork.

Short knock on the door. The man in a suit walks in.

"It's time." - His phrase is short. - "The android is with his first error."

"I see." - She says, as she stands up, - "Let's go."

They walk to the monitoring room.

Her heels making sound, as she walks on the marble floor. The echoes bounce off the walls.

"They are not sure how to input the coding for it. Quite the new sort." - Man in suit comments, as they wait for elevator.

"Guess my child is finally asking self why is it not going well. Poor darling." - She brushes hair behind her ear. - "My dear barling is growing up."

The elevator door pings and opens in front of them.

"Have you seen my casefile? I've left it on a table here." - Trish asks Edgar, that sits with his tablet on a couch.

"Not seen anything of resemblance." - Edgar dryly replies.

"Dammit! Why do today of all days?" - Trish walks around - trying to find the file. - "Lilly?"

"Not here." - Lilly replies without turning around.

Mary returns from the practise. Putting her cello in the hall, as she undresses.

"It'll never cease to surprise me how such a petite girl can carry around something so massive." - Edgar checks out the new arrived Mary.

"Mary-y!" - Trish pleads.

"If you're seeking something - better ask Edgar." - Mary cuts her off.

"Already did! He doesn't know either!" - Trish is anxious to get that piece of file found. It's not something that can be easily disregarded or lost at any point in court.

"The two of them are still not talking?" - Mary picks up cello and walks over to put it near couch, as she goes to make her tea.

"Nup. Still the silent treatment." - Lilly remarks.

"Poor couple of idiots." - Mary mumbles.

"Ceasa-ar, my prince…" - Lilly snuggles up her cat. He is lazily yawning.

"Edgar, what have you done to Dolly? Haven't seen that rebel bird in days." - Mary sits beside Edgar.

"Had to take that rebel to my sister. The bird has apparently some new shenanigans after feasting heavily on Lillys plants. It's like Dolly is in detox from drug abuse." - Edgar laughs, as he looks at Lilly. - "Your plants got my bird high."

Lilly looked at Edgar, her face brushing against Ceasar.

"Your bird is stupid." - She mutters.

"Debatable." - Edgar laughs, but leaves the matter at that.

"Do you think we should help them?" - Mary drinks up the hot liquid.

"I would…" - Edgar stops his sentence, as he sees Grey walk into the atrium.

"Oh, look who is alive." - Edgar leaves the comment hanging.

"I'm too tired to come up with witty remark. But hey to you all." - Grey walks over to make some coffee.

"New project in work or is it due to the events because of the release?" - Mary turns to face Grey.

Grey rubs his eyes, as he pours the coffee.

"Actually both. Quite the tough one. I thought that it'd be easier to deal with. Not this whole madness." - Grey brushes his hair back, but they fall on his face again.

"Don't push yourself too hard. You must look after own health." - Mary smiles.

"Yeah, you're right." - Grey takes the cup and walks back to his room. - "Have a good one."

"Found it!" - Cheery voice sounded from the staircase that lead down from extension, - "It was on the desk there.Ufff." - Trish exhaled in relief.

"Hey Trish, when do you plan on marriage and family?" - Mary asks.

Trish gives a glance towards Mary, who looks in the direction of Lilly.

"Evil witch." - Trish thinks.

"I'm still young. Soon enough." - She replies aloud.

"Young." - Mary thinks for a moment. - "You're twenty nine years of age, if I recall correctly." - Mary looks towards Trish, that already stands next to Mary.

"You better drop this topic. Now." - Trish hisses quietly at Mary.

"Do the parents pressure you as well, about that topic?" - Edgar glances at Trish.

"They sure do, but it's not something I want to talk about." - Trish grips that file tighter. - "Have to go. Court calls me."

Trish walks off to her room, then after picking up the bag and clothing, she walks out of the atrium through front door.

"And when do you plan to make that marriage and family matter?" - Edgar asks Mary and Lilly, that are left in the room.

"Guess after quarter life crisis." - Mary replies, as she presses her lips, shrugging shoulders.

"Maybe later. I'm still in the process of changing the world." - Lilly squishes Ceasar.

Noah walks out, without saying a word he walks out the door.

"Sourpuss." - Mary shrugs.

Noah walks into the big enterprise building in the buzzing part of the town, where the endess offices host selves and their companies.

He boards the elevator. Floor 26.

Once the office door opens, a lady gasps with happiness.

"My dear darling!" - She stands up, walks over to Noah and hugs him. - "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, mum. Just quite perplexed about things." - Noah sadly says.

"Don't worry dear. Maybe if you tell me all about it I can help? Or maybe food and good sleep might change that and bring you some new ideas? M?" - She cradles his cheek with her hand.

Noah smiles.

"That would be really good."
