Chapter 135 Huxley

• Friday
• Huxley When I turn up for our usual Friday meeting, Titus, Mack, and Victoria all cheer when I walk into the boardroom. Although Elizabeth and I have told them all that she’s agreed to marry me, it’s the first time we’ve had a chance to celebrate together. Victoria has organized a slightly more luxurious lunch for us all today, with hot food brought in from the nearby Chinese restaurant. A bottle of champagne is chilling in an ice bucket by the table. We don’t usually drink alcohol at lunch, but Titus pops the cork now, and fills our glasses with a splash of the champagne.
• “This looks nice,” I say, taking a seat.
