'So this is my life now,' I thought, catching myself staring at the city's skyline glittering with thousands of different lights of the city's nightlife.
With a crystal of iced scotch in my hand, perfectly soft pillows below my bum, and the air conditioning of the penthouse working hard to keep the air fresh and just the right temperature….

"Hon! Look at all those!" Fay called out from over the counter of the bar fitted to the side of the main living area of the penthouse.
It took her only a quick show of mine to catch up on the idea of bartending. And with the use of all the tools and supplies the thoughtful management of this unit provided, she has long surpassed whatever I've taught her.
Eh, here we go again, guys. For now, that's all I can write if I don't want to be dying from lack of sleep at my 12h shift today. I will try to write another chapter while at work, but I'm not going to post it if I judge its quality fell. So, be prepared to wait until tomorrow for more chapters.
This mess will continue up to sunday, Monday at the latest (I might need to get some rest on Sunday). I hope you will forgive me this lousy schedule in this week. Hopefully, from Monday on, I won't have to bother with it anymore and will be able to get back to the crazy update rate I had last month!
I've wrote 145k words in the first month of this novel's existence, so let's aim for 300k words by the end of its second month!
