Chapter 8

“I’m glad you’re here, buddy,” Ivan said to Jeremiah while dragging his best friend toward Alexander. “I need your assistance.”

Jeremiah chuckled. “I’m your man. Where’s the body?”

Ivan scoffed. “Don’t talk nonsense, man. This is not the right time for one of your morbid jokes.”

Jeremiah rolled his eyes. “Fine, fine. What’s up?”

Ivan explained the situation to Jeremiah before turning toward Alexander. “I’m guessing we will need to come up with a different edible arrangement. Am I right?”

Alexander nodded. “Yes, sir. It may take quite a while, though. We have to agree on so many things, beginning from the number and types of flowers, the way they will be put together, and also the combination of flavors. You will also have to decide on the ingredients. Naturally, the arrangement will be a lot more expensive if you choose to add things such as edible gold and silver for example. You may end up being stuck here for an hour or two.”

Ivan shrugged. “It’s fine.”
