That day was busy for Adam; it wasnât a bad one but it was definitely busy. It didnât help that his mind was filled with stubbornness, in the past few hours. For some strange reason, he felt like he needed to finish the website he was working on that day before leaving to go home. Fortunately, he did; but, unfortunately, it was already way past his time when he did finish it. And, just when he was getting out of Masters, he felt like he needed to eat as soon as possible because he hadnât done so since lunchtime. Luckily, he knew the bar near Masters served great hamburgers and he was dying to get one.
When he entered said place, he quickly spotted a familiar face. Elliot was sitting at a near table, with âboredomâ written all over his features. Adam let out a friendly smile and, when the other invited him to the table, he didnât refuse to. As he sat down, he greeted the other and quickly made himself comfortable in that seat. âI know⌠For some reason, I just wanted to finish some work before going home. Donât ask me why; normally, I am dying to get out of workâ, he explained. âWhat about you? I never see you around Masters at this time as well.â
The best part of being a receptionist was that he left his job behind the moment they clocked out. There were no emails heâd have to attend to off hours or a deadline looming over his head. Honestly Elliot couldnât function in that sort of environment and it amazed him every day how many people at Masters worked literally constantly. It was probably one of those hidden clauses with having a salary Elliot was sure. âAt least you wonât have to deal with it tomorrow,â Elliot shrugged. They wouldnât sacrifice their evenings but to each their own. âYou hear to celebrate or something?â Elliot asked before shrugging his shoulder to buy himself some more time. He wasnât about to give an honest answer. âSomething kept me in the neighborhood a little longer,â he said leaving it at that. That something or more accurately that someone just never showed up. âBeen meaning to try this place too. I heard theyâve got a decent happy hour whenever that happens.â
