the oldies reunion

Outside of the Gymnasium…

Charles and Haines pulled into the parking space. Unlike the wide smile on Charles's face, Haines's expression was dead.

"Charles," Haines called, turning toward the driver's seat where Charles was. "The gymnasium is just right over there."

"And?"

Haines's face twitched. "And it means we didn't need to stay in here with all of them." He then pointed at the people behind the van.

The people at the back were mostly retired workers from Global Prime Logistics during Charles's tenure. Most had retired one after another when Charles retired, making room for younger employees at the start of Atlas's tenure. Although some were still working in the company, assisting Atlas with everything they could.

One more thing: each individual here was part of the group Charles had forced to sign up for the fan club during the live broadcast of Penny's fan club's first general assembly.
