Art and Tineya, who unintentionally got their hopes up at Rego's hesitation since they thought he would be asking if they could get some as well, sighed in defeat and left the balcony and the café.
Although they didn't have much to do on paper other than put the people Micah named in their positions, they still had to do that, tell Kairon to go to the café, and make sure all that, and everything that follows, goes smoothly.
Okay, it still wasn't that much. But it felt unbearable when compared to the taste of ecstasy they got from the coffee and the apple slices.
No matter how they tried to resist it, the smell of coffee seeped out of their noses, and the taste of the apple faded away from their tongues. The only thing trying to retain the sensations did was to make them want another cup and another slice even more.
Only the thought of the steep price kept Art and Tineya on task, and they tried to distract themselves by focusing on their job.
