Kapitel 61: Chapter 61: Opportunity Knocks

On Monday morning, Michael went to work with a smile on his face.  He’d very much enjoyed his night with Alexis.  I think I’ve finally found someone to replace Veronica.  She’s classy and smart, and she’s not clingy.  He sailed through his day, joking and laughing with the others on the 50th floor.

At about 4:30 his phone blipped to indicate a message.  Michael looked at it and frowned.  It was Alexis.  “Meet me for drinks at Bemelman’s after work today.  I want to run something by you.” 

He grimaced.  Just when I thought this was a good thing, he thought to himself.  Quickly he texted back.  I’m not sure I’ll have time today.  I’m pretty swamped, and not positive when I’ll be free.

Minutes later, Alexis responded.  “Make time.  I have some business to discuss with you.”

Business, he puzzled.  He wondered what it could be.  He knew that Alexis was very influential in her circle.  I’ll meet you at about 6:30, he returned.
