>>5140678Haunted by your employer’s grim advice, your conversation is put on hold by the sound of creaking wheels approaching from the door Christy disappeared through! As if on cue, Blumenkrantz’ personal assistant emerges into the ‘yard’ once more with a cart for the dishes!
“Punctual as always, that one.” Sony remarks as the quiet girl wheels the cart over to their side of the table. “It pains me to say it, Stanley, but this marks the end of our little ‘chew-and-chat’--I’ve got quite a few more appointments lined up for the rest of the day and I have no doubt you’ve got some things to attend to as well!”
Yea, you reply with an emphatic nod, you’ve got shit to do! Placing a TASTEFUL DOILY in front of Sonny, the assistant delicately places a CHOCOLATE MINT on top before moving towards your side of the table!
“Found these on a trip to Europe, you know.” Sonny chirps as they take the mint in hand. “Can’t live without them anymore!”
Placing another doily on the table, Christy moves to take your plate as you notice a curt message written in neat, tiny letters:
“Press button in Maintenance Corridor behind Canteen. Come alone. Act natural.”
You barely have time to read the last sentence before the doily is ruined by a wayward dollop of mashed potatoes! Quickly regaining control of your plate, the red-haired girl gives you a long stare before snatching up the doily and depositing it into the cart.
“Reflexes like a steel trap!” Sonny cheers as Christy places a mint in front of you and makes her exit. “Blumenkrantz will escort you back to the MAIN SHAFT, Stanley, and don’t worry–you’ll be free to work without interruption once you’re back.” Your boss’ eye narrows. “Unless, that is, you WANT to be interrupted…”
Laughing his statement off, your boss glances your way. “Jokes aside, was there anything else you wanted to cover?”
Well…
