Lena head out and her Shen Milli was still sitting on the bench outside, waiting for her.
"You're back. Did everything go well?"
"Yeah." Lena replied. "You're tired. I will take you home. We can go shopping at another time."
Shen Milli got up from the bench and head inside the car with Lena. When they got home, Lena did not stay. She had one of their drivers drive her back to her apartment. Kris and she would be going out tomorrow.
It was only the afternoon. Since Lena did not go into her office, she still called Diane to check up on her work. It's been months since she finalized her design program and the college boys were still waiting to hear from Lena about meeting their master.
Lena gave Gary another call. She at least owed the college boys something for their hard work.
"Hey." Gary answered.
"Is Kris still with you?"
"Does it matter?"
"No." Lena replied. "Anyways, are you looking for apprentices? Or slaves?"
A comment once asked me if my novel was episodic, but the short answer is not really. In life, one problem doesn't get thrown at you "one time at a time" although you try to solve them best you can.
You have work, love life, family, maybe school, friends, social network, peers.
Although I try not to make it too much happening at the same time. (If I do, just tell me and I can slow down).
I usually introduce a problem, and then comes back later to it.
