Chapter 68

Jade turned on him abruptly, looking like a pregnant volcano about to erupt but Tim's calm voice cut in. “Guys, I think we should head inside. Standing out in the open like this is giving me major anxiety.” I looked at him for the first time. I had barely even noticed him at all. He was in one of his huge hoodies that successfully alienated him from social interaction, but at least this time, he wore a different fucking color from black. Even though the switch was to a boring color. Some color that looked like brown.
Then I realized we were incomplete. “Where the fuck is Spence?” I snapped. Spence was also a member of the automotive engineering team I put together for my contract, and he was a genius, but he was also a fucking serious workaholic and had a fucking hard time having fun. Everything has to be serious with him. And he was the reason we were all fucking gathered here this evening.
It was his fucking birthday and Cole, that fucking stoned party animal, decided to force Spence out to do something different. Honestly, I did not give a flying fuck about nobody’s birthday, but even Tim showed up. Jade would never fucking let me have peace if I didn’t show up. So, I did. And now the fucking birthday boy was missing.
