Uilleam had been hours into his work day as seven a.m. rolled around while the rest of the world seemed to only now come awake. He considered retiring to his room for a while since he didn’t have any meetings to attend for another few hours, but the thought was just as quickly abandoned when he considered what else he could be doing in that time besides attempting to sleep.

His work never ended.

As he grabbed his phone, sorting through the messages that had come in while he’d been busy working on other matters, the elevator chimed, the concierge rounding the corner a moment later. He rolled in a cart with a gold-domed dish, three different newspapers, and three bottled waters with sealed tops.

One could never be too careful.

“Morning, sir,” he greeted as he always did before unveiling the platter of food the chef had personally prepared for him.

He only had a few moments to enjoy the peace and quiet before Skorpion joined him, his face twisted into a scowl.

“While I’m all for everyone doing whatever the fuck they want so long as they’re not hurting anyone else, you clearly can’t be fucking allowed.”

Sometimes even he forgot he was the boss in their little arrangement rather than the other way around.

Uilleam wondered for the seventh time that day why he bothered to put up with Skorpion at all. He had a complete lack of respect for authority.

Became distracted by food more often than he didn’t.

And there was never a single time when Uilleam didn’t know the man’s opinion on something because he wasn’t one to hold back on that front.

The question played on a continuous loop as Uilleam sighed before finally giving the man the attention he had all but asked for. “I sincerely don’t want to know what you’re on about.”

“Your latest obsession has been busy.”

He considered, briefly, correcting the man—he didn’t think he had ever been obsessed with anything in his entire life—but thought better of it as a newspaper was slapped down in front of him.

A cursory glance at the cover page told him the name of the paper—The Gazette Post—and the current date. Even if there hadn’t been something curious lingering in the back of his throat as he spoke, Uilleam would have still been searching the paper, looking for a name he was all too familiar with.

He suspected that she would get back to work sooner or later now that Paxton was away and his story was finished, but as he turned the paper onto the fifth page where there was merely a small column of text to the left, he was surprised to find that her next story wasn’t closer to the front.

That was usually the way of it when a journalist managed to earn notoriety from what they wrote. Their stories would become more closely followed.

They would become as interesting as the articles they wrote.

“If you’re not careful,” Skorpion continued, “she’s going to cause more problems than she’s worth.”

Oh, he wasn’t so sure about that.
