Chapter 131 Tragedy

• Michael frowned, staring at the boy through the glass doors with the elevator already beginning its ascent Thomas had to chase after them through the stairs since that elevator was the only current functional one and by the time he reached the top floors he was out of breath and the men had gone round and had finished with inspection. It was time for Michael to meet with his chief Engineer. As soon as they came out the door they saw Tom sprinting down the hallway. The lad had an anxious look on his face and when he caught sight of the two men he skidded to a stop, breathing heavily. He was so breathless he couldn't speak and after a few moments he managed a gasp and said something, but Michael was unable to hear him. Shaking his head he waved off the boy in dismissal and began to walk towards the nearest room and pushed open the double doors. Inside he saw his Chief Engineer laying orders to a few more Engineers and their respective site supervisors, the architect sat beside him carefully studying his blueprints and once James caught sight of the man he dismissed them and ran over to share a handshake with Michael.
• "Mr. Michael, what a surprise, I wasn't expecting you until later and most certainly without a call. You always call. Why didn't you call?" James asked while leading him into a much cleaner part of the office where he proceeded to pour them a glass of whiskey and passed it to him. Michael took the glass and turned it over to Easton who took it with a smile, returning his gaze to James who is now pouring him another glass, the man handed it over to him. Smiling appreciatively at James, Michael downed it swiftly as he sat on the sofa against the wall.
• "Well, I couldn't wait to show my Lover here my newest project, he thought only he had something great going." He smiled with a wink and Easton shook his head with a chuckle.
