A shadow from someone who figured to be nearby suddenly entered a café. It was unforeseen serendipity that brought them together.
The man elected to sit outside, light a cigarette, and enjoy the peace and quiet of midtown Manhattan. The waiter approached to take the order for a cup of black coffee.
Soon after, he summoned someone to accompany him, but his cousin had to continue working on weekends, keeping an eye on guests who came to attend significant events and stay at hotels.
He inhaled another deep breath while checking the message on the gadget. His wife, who had been working in the penthouse, had not returned his call.
A less-than-pleasant weekend! The complaining was spiteful; Serena should have had pleasure with him as well.
