Chapter Thirteen

Sebastian

I pick up the sandwich and nibble on it. It’s good. Chicken salad on rye. The bread is fresh and the salad is nice and crunchy. Matt was right about this place. For a sandwich bar, it’s not bad.

“Anything in the works then?” Matt asks me.

“I’ve always got something in the works,” I laugh. “Nothing major though. I know it’s been three weeks since we closed the merger, but there’s a still a lot of work to do on it to get things running smoothly. I’ve got an appointment later on today with a new firm though. I’m not sure it’ll come to much. They’re barely more than a start up and I don’t think they’ll be able to afford any of our packages, but still. If I make a good impression on them now, who knows what could happen down the line. You?”

“I’ve got my eye on a new concept restaurant actually,” Matt says. “It’s one of those fusion places, but they claim to be different to anything already out there. I’m going to talk to them tomorrow. I’m thinking maybe some sort of franchise deal.”

“Fusion huh? Like Sushi crossed with curry?”

“It’s a bit more sophisticated than that,” Matt laughs.

“I like something simple personally. Something where I don’t need some sort of degree in food engineering just to work out the menu,” I say.

“So you think we should go for low end?” Matt asks raising an eyebrow.

“No. I think we should stick to what works. Classic dishes that people enjoy in a high end setting with good quality ingredients. But hey, what do I know? I’m just talking as a customer here. You’re the food guy. Kimberley was always into those fancy places. I’d rather go to a bar and grab a steak.”

Matt looks down at his plate but not quickly enough that I don’t see him smirking.

“What?” I say. “You can’t seriously tell me you don’t enjoy a good steak?”

“Who doesn’t love steak?” Matt replies. “I’m not laughing at that. I’m laughing at your mention of Kimberley.”

“Oh that,” I say, rolling my eyes. “Honestly, I’m totally over her Matt. I think I just needed that one last time to really see it. You know, to get closure of whatever. It took a long time, but I can finally see that she’s really not that special. I mean she’s just a girl right? I haven’t even thought of her since she came to my office acting like a brat after we had sex. Until today apparently.”

Matt is openly laughing now and I frown.

“What?” I demand. “What the hell is so funny?”

“You trying to claim you haven’t thought of Kimberley in weeks. Come on Seb. Who are you trying to kid here? She’s all you’ve talked about since that night.”

“What? No she isn’t,” I insist.

Matt raises an eyebrow.

“We were talking about a restaurant and you managed to bring the conversation around to Kimberley,” he says.

“Ok, so I mentioned her once in three weeks. I hardly think that means she’s all I talk about.
