...Anne Louize...
I gather my belongings and we leave, the whole situation was new to me, I had never seen Hunter treating anyone well.
Hunter_ You didn't need to stay at the company until so late, Miss...
Louize_ Don't worry about me, I'm not so selfish as to see you in that state and go home, it's okay.
The way home was quiet and silent, but a comfortable silence, he drops me off at home and with a quick wave, he's gone.
......................................
...One month later......
One month I've been in New York, and it's amazing how time insists on passing so quickly, it's been almost a week since Hunter has been to the company, I know it's none of my business, but I'd like to know the reason for his absence.
I can't lie, the work flowed better when we weren't in the same environment.
Jessy enters my office, taking me out of my thoughts.
Jessy_ Girl, it's the weekend, how about going out to clear your head a little?
Louize_ Oh Jessy, I don't know if it's a good idea.
Jessy_ Oh please, Louize, you've been here in New York for over a month and you never go out. For God's sake, you need to get out a little, meet new people, live.
Louize_ You won't stop insisting until I say yes, will you?
Jessy_ Please, friend, let's go.
Louize_ Oh my God, I think you're the most insistent person on the face of the earth, okay, fine, you convinced me, I'm going.
Jessy_ Yayyyy.... Great, I'll pick you up at eight, I'm going to bring someone to introduce you to.
Louize_ Oh please friend, don't set me up with anyone, I'm fine.
Jessy_ Oh, you're so boring, you sound like my mother. Bye, see you later, don't be late.
Louize_ Wait, I need to know where we're going, so I can dress accordingly....
That's it, she left me talking to myself again, her and her terrible habits.
The next few hours pass, I'm focused on organizing some files that had occasionally piled up in the rush of day-to-day life.
God forbid Hunter should witness this much accumulated work, at the very least I would get a big scolding, he's a workaholic, he likes everything meticulously in order, disorganization doesn't fit his profile.
I put away the last folder that was on the table and breathe a sigh of relief for finally finishing everything before it's time to leave.
Outside, I wait for a cab to go home, after a long, exhausting day, all I wanted was to rest.
At that moment, my cell phone rings.
....- Well, who could it be?.
I take the device and look at the screen.
....- Unknown number.
I waited for a few more rings, but the person was insistent, so I ended up answering the call.
.......Call On.......
Louize_ Hello...
....- Louize?
Louize_ Who is this, and how did you get my number?
I hear a soft laugh from the other end of the line.
....- Louize, it's Hunter, well, I need a favor from you if you're willing to help me.
Louize_ Mr. Johnson? I... if it's within my reach, I can see what I can do.
I roll my eyes after he identifies himself.
Hunter_ Excellent, I need you to go to my house, when you get there, go to my room, next to the bed, look on the nightstand, you understand?
Louize_ Yes, go on.
Hunter_ Okay, in short, I need you to get some documents that are in the drawer of the nightstand, once you've done that, you'll go to my office and fax them to this number that I'm going to send you by text message. Got it?
Louize_ I understand perfectly, I'm in front of the company, I was just leaving, but I can make a detour.
Hunter_ I apologize for this, but I can send my driver to pick you up there.
Louize_ It's not necessary, my cab just arrived.
The line goes dead for a few minutes, moments later my cell phone beeps indicating a new message.
I put the cell phone on speakerphone, and check the message that Johnson had just sent, a fax number he mentioned and his home address.
I hear his breathing back on the line.
Hunter_ You still there?
Louize_ I am, I just got the text message. Anything else I can do for you?
Hunter_ That's all, if you have any questions, call me immediately, I've already spoken to Peter, he will meet you as soon as you arrive at my house. Thank you, good evening.
Without a chance to say anything else, he hangs up on me, I tell the taxi driver the address and we head to Mr. Johnson's house, I hope his house isn't too far away, if I'm late for Jessy, she'll slice me to pieces.
