April walked back to her cubicle,arranged her things neatly,then opened her laptop.
"Hey April"
"Oh hi Simon, how can I help you"
"Well Jebediah asked me to give you some work to do, concerning some projects, and since neither of us went to MIT.....".
April sighed and collected the paperwork from Simon.
"A whole lot of crap,I know, but you know it's actually so that you can get acquainted with everything that needs to be done, whether it's in robotics, metaphysics,anabiotics, you name it. The sky's the limit when working here, plus that's why it's really hard to land an internship here, but now that you have, you are gonna work your butt off, and get your pay"
"Seems fair". April said and started working on it.
"I've always dreamed of working here, my mom loves computers but she couldn't study it because of lack of funds, so I made it my life mission to pursue her dreams for her. A little while later,it became my dream. My mom always prayed that I'll work for a big Multibilliondollar company, like BOONE ENTERPRISES or LATEX GROUP OF COMPANIES. I worked my butt off to be able land an internship here,so what's a little more"
"Wow, I've always known you were a fighter. So I guess you won't have a problem creating a new code for our new game for BOONE CONSOLIDATED"
"Wait!!!!, So it's not only this company that Mr Boone has?"
"Yep,we have BOONE ENTERPRISES in six different countries that deals with tech, We have BOONE CONSOLIDATED in another six different countries that deals with games and some household equipment,we have BOONEVILLE in eight different countries that deals with real estate and the likes of that,we also have BOONE MEGA WORLD CASINOS, BAR'S AND HOTELS,by the name you already know what they specialize in. Mr Boone is MEGA RICH. But I heard that the name that is given to all Mr Boone's business is BOONE'S MEGA WORLD INTERNATIONAL"
"Wow, so Mr Boone clearly rules the business world, not just in Walton City, but the WHOLE OF COUNTRY V?"
"Yep, that's right. But people are wondering maybe if that's going to last"
"Why is that..."
"Simon get your a** back to work"
Jebediah said, Simon scurried off to his cubicle.
"Perhaps maybe later we will continue our conversation"
April continued to work. After an hour or two of hitting away on keys, April stood up and decided to take a break.
"Wanna go grab a cup of coffee". Joanna asked
"Sure, I'm tired"
April and Joanna walked towards the Cafeteria and ordered an expresso and a latte. It wasn't lunch time yet, so they were not much people down there, only the waitress and waiters, some cleaners and a few employees.
Joanna and April took the stairs in order to better enjoy the view that BOONE ENTERPRISES seemed to offer. No matter how much you have seen the architectural design of the company, one can never get tired of looking at it,Mr Boone made sure of it, with it's Out Of The World design, Joanna and April couldn't help but stare in complete awe.
April began to make a light conversation with Joanna as they made their way back to their cubicle. Upon their arrival,they met some of their colleagues talking about the incident that happened to detective Diego. Some were condemning the Silver Ghost, while others were in actual support of him.
"All I'm saying is that the guy is not actually a criminal"
"Oh yeah,then what reason does he have for going after Mr Cooper and the police"
"Look John,it is rumoured that Mr Cooper is actually a drug lord,he might have some how been able to convince the police to help him. What happened to detective Diego and his fellow officers was just accidental, collateral damage"
"Oh yeah, and where did you get the info from"
"From a friend of mine who works at the fish industry, near the city canals. You know that they often see some guys smuggle in drugs,one of them was rumored to work for Cooper"
"It's all bullshit to me, I mean the guy's a maniac. I heard that he asked for ten thousand dollars, what do you think he intends to do with that amount"
"I don't know, perhaps buy some food,or fuel for his motorcycle".
Everyone began to laugh. April and Joanna just sat down and continued their work.
********************************
April sat in the reception and was scrolling through her phone, she was waiting for the rain to reduce before she could book an Uber.
"Hey April, what are you still doing here". Simon asked
"Well it's raining outside and I need an Uber to get home"
"Why wait for an Uber,I drop you off"
"Oh no, I don't wanna be a bother"
"But you're not, come I'll take you home". April stood up and followed him. He opened his umbrella and held it out for both of them. They walked towards the car park then they both got into Simon's car.
"Where exactly is your house"
"Joanna helped me rent an apartment in bay area"
"The apartment building next to the beach?"
" And a super market". April said. Simon turned the key and began to drive.
"Joanna has a great sense of taste". Simon said.
"Yeah, she said she would have liked to live there if not for the fact that her father had already given her a house in the other side of town"
"I hope you like it there"
"I love it. The people are super nice, plus you have a great view of the bay, and what's more, the super market is directly across the street from the apartment. And the beach is just a fifteen minutes drive from the apartment building, life is fun"
"Don't mind me asking, but how about the rent"
"The rent, well to my surprise the rent is actually very cheap and affordable. At first when Joanna told me it felt too good to be true, but it is".
