Chapter 23: Futur Era / 4.7&8 : The Emperor's jester

Ryker walked out of the hovercar and banged on the front door. He kept banging until a maid opened the door. She looked at him startled before she could say something Ryker did.

"Where is Eden?"

"He is in the dining room waiting for you."

Ryker stormed to the dining room but he calmed down when he saw that Eden had been waiting for him. There was even a plate for him meaning he didn't forget his request of eating together. He looked at Eden and he could see that he was a little uncomfortable despite his smile.

He took a seat in silence and looked down at his plate. When he felt Eden looking at him he looked up but he immediately looked away. The dinner went on in silence and Eden walked him out. When he reached the door he couldn't stop himself anymore and asked:

"Why didn't you warn me?"

Eden looked at him confused.

"Warn you about what?"

Ryker said in anger:

"That you were going to come to the company!"
