Chapter 5 - Rylan

"…And that seems to just about wrap up our meeting for now. Thank you and good work today, everyone. I hope you all have a nice weekend."

Everyone around the room quickly stands up from their seats in unison as soon as the lead speaker finalizes the conclusion of the meeting, each individual gradually filing out of the conference room one by one in an orderly fashion. A big albeit stifled yawn escapes from my mouth as I step out of the room in a bit of a drowsy lull and wait with the rest of the crowd to take the elevator back downstairs. However, my tired daze is temporarily interrupted and broken by the sound of the loud ding of the elevator’s arrival as everyone steps inside and tightly packs into the metal box. The number of bodies in the lift slowly taper down with each calculate stop it makes until the doors eventually open up to the lobby of the first floor where my eyes immediately fall on the redheaded female receptionist sitting behind the counter. I naturally approach the woman with a wide smile on my lips, the mere sight of her enough to rouse me out of my lethargic state.

"Welcome back, Margaret! How was your vacation to Europe? Did you get to try out any of the places that I recommended to you?" I cheerfully ask.

The rapid typing and clicking from the receptionist’s keyboard instantly stops once she hears the sound of my voice. Her eyes slightly expand and bulge while they remain pointed at the computer screen in front of her face. The startled woman looks like a deer caught in headlights as she hesitantly lifts her head toward me and cautiously looks to her left and to her right. I curiously furrow my brow at her. The extreme reluctance in her expression is practically impossible to ignore given the fact that Margaret typically greets me with an extremely warm welcome whenever I get the chance to see her. But her reaction and response seems unusually cold and stiff today as if there were something bothering her – as if she didn’t want to be seen in public speaking with me.

"Oh, it was good, Mr. Bennett. Thank you for remembering and asking. The recommendations you gave me were excellent. Thank you so much," Margaret replies in a rather aloof tone and rigid manner. There’s barely any enthusiasm or interest in her voice, much less any desire on her face to elaborate any further on her brief and broad comments.

Yet I still can’t help but let out a slight chuckle at the unusual nature of her answer. "Just good?” I snort. “I would have expected the trip to be a little more than just good considering it was your honeymoon and all. Did something happen on your trip? Everything went okay, right?"

"Yes, everything went absolutely fine.” The redhead nods her head and forces a smile. “My husband and I, we both had a really good time together.
