"Agreed."
The thought reminded me of Whitney, the assistant.
"Actually, now that I think about it, I think William got invited to it."
"Huh? When?"
"An assistant named Whitney came over to take my measurements. It was the day that Saint was hiding under the desk."
"Ah," he replied. "The day he went wild and you muted Dimitris. Can't forget that grand entertainment."
"Ha-ha, funny," I sarcastically stated. "I thought he was going to kill me."
"I think he's too far gone down the rabbit hole to do that," Jayce admitted. "Dimitris has an unmeasurable tolerance with you."
"Which means I have the potential to survive any catastrophes I ignite just to piss him off."
"No." Jayce laughed. "But you may certainly try your luck."
We laughed and relaxed as the traffic moved slowly along. I ended up working through some applications of the elite members of the new office building and making a few calls before I rested my eyes a bit.
Surely an hour had passed, and I was drifting off when I felt a bubbling nervousness that crept along my body. I opened my eyes, sitting up far enough for my seat belt to tug me back.
Jayce noticed my jerky movement, while I tried to blink out of sleep.
"What's wrong?" he asked while assessing me.
I needed a minute to answer because I was trying to pinpoint who was so nervous.
"Neo?" The name came out before I could mentally register it. "Neo is nervous as fuck," I announced. "Like suffocating nervous."
That had Jayce ringing up Viktor in a second. He picked up almost immediately.
"Hey, we're in a situation. I can't talk."
"Where?"
"I'll send the coordinates," he said in a quick ramble.
"Let me see the identification of the man in the back," a foreign yet harsh voice declared.
"Why would my passenger have to give you identification? This isn't a traffic stop."
"Keep the questions coming and I'll have you arrested for resisting."
My heartbeat spiked, making my finger tingle with anger.
"Jayce," I hissed.
"Already on it. I know where they are. We're a minute way."
"Are there any restaurants nearby?"
"There's the La Rouge De Va Lu Grand Banquet restaurant. Reservation only."
"Got it," I replied. I immediately began searching them up and called them. They picked up after three rings. "Bonjour. Sorry, but we're fully booked t-"
"My name is Willow De Luca," I cut her off. "I also go by William De Luca. I'm actually a short distance from your restaurant and I'm absolutely adoring the menu. I was wondering if there were any VIP tables available?"
