Chapter 6: Business As Usual

Ronnie’s POV

Max and I stand at the bar, both of us with a drink in hand. We’re at this dinner party for work but having one drink never hurt to get the tension to leave your body. Sabrina, my assistant, is walking around to see who is attending tonight; not everyone RSVP’s like I’d appreciate.

The dining area is well-lit with chandeliers spread around the ceiling. The wood floors are shiny and well-maintained, and the walls are a hunter-green color. The darkness of the walls combined with the bright lights makes for a nice welcoming and warm feeling. There’s a long table in the center of the room with a black tablecloth and name cards for every guest in attendance.

“So tell me more about this Nancy girl,” Max, my best friend, says. He’s the lead CFO for the company, so even though it’s not always necessary for him to come to these business dinners, he still does. I think it’s for the free booze and food, but he swears it’s to make business connections.
