That’s another thing that ain just at the thought that the whole routine for the day has been thrown off by this announcement the officers want to make I suppose that Adam would let me stay at my desk if I tell him how much I dislike it I actually have told him before and he understood--or at least he said he did But this ti best friend And he’s here too, standing next to April Weiss

Ada the stock prices and release dates on vesting shares owned by e a company to make the hardware for the new virtual reality equipment This means more work for me as I a for the new interface

I blink I don’t knohat to think about that and I try not to, but I squint as Ada he wants to talk about now I saw hi hands with April Weiss when he thought no one could see He gets all the girls to fall in love with him

And yet all of his advice is pure bullshit

Maybe he lies so that no one else will compete with him Maybe his techniques are secrets The look on his face , and I’hts so I’veabout fifty-three feet away and there are a lot of people between us…because in crowds, I never stand in the e It’s easier to breathe there

"If you care about the welfare of this company, know that it’s expected that e talk about here is internal co I have to scrunch my brow and narrow my eyes and really focus to follow hi, people whispering, echoes of every little thing "The incident at the pool party in which one of our interns rongly humiliated should not have happened What’s worse, it should not have been shared with the outside world via socialabout it is that she was left to face that huht On behalf of the coize to April Weiss for the behavior she had to endure at the party I also think it’s right to let you know that I was the other party involved in the video"

Everything is a lot quieter now No one is ,Surprise They are surprised Unpleasantly so

"I also owe you,now I’ry I don’t like Jordan I used to like hi to tell hio away and it’s not so crowded So I focusto usein this roohts and this noise

I spend ti about her How her hair is so pale that it is almost white Pale blonde Sometimes she pulls it away from her face The way it forms tiny curls around her neck I like her wrists They are delicate Thin Elegant Even her wrists are beautiful And her eyes So soft a blue that if I were painting them, I’d have to mix white with the cerulean oil paint Maybe two parts white to one part blue

She reel

It’s thirteenout I wait until then to step forward and speak with Jordan He is walking beside Adam and April, and when they are nearby, I wave to catch his attention

The three of theht?"

I take a breath, remind myself not to be irritated Only family members call me ‘Liam’ I tolerate it from three people only--Dad, Adam and my sister, Britt Oh, there’s my new stepmother, too Sometimes she slips and calls ets that I don’t like it

"I need to speak with Jordan" I point at hies His eyebrows scrunch together Ada to him and then turns back toApril follows Adary with you," I say to Jordan

He sighs and his eyes look intoin people’s eyes I clench ave me was very bad"

Jordan tilts his head to the side "I’m sorry Did it not work out?"
