I wasn't sure if people still used instant messaging today, but it was the only way Xander and Sofia were going to be able to talk to me. Xander was at work and Sofia was sitting in her home office probably answering a bunch of phone calls while trying to tend to the baby. This would be the perfect time to talk to them because Jack was down for a nap and I had finished anything work related that involved my opinion or signature.

Jet stood before everyone, talking numbers that we made this month with the store. A meeting for numbers! Wow! She could've just emailed this stuff to everyone or printed out a spreadsheet with a few charts to educate us on this stuff. Jet was always calling meetings upon us, she always talked about insignificant things. Noelle and I found that Jet liked the meetings because she felt "important" and "hard-working." Really, we still let her call these meetings because we understood how much of a math geek she was. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if her panties were completely soaked any time she got to be in the presence of numbers.

I was virtually yawning my way through this gathering. I would need twelve hours of sleep to get through one of Jet's meetings, for nothing made me sleepier than a discussion about how many shirts sold in comparison to jogging pants.

I brought my phone to the meeting in case Trixy needed me because the conference room didn't have a fucking phone. I was a bad role model as I chose to check my text messages during the meeting.

Ashton: Last night was incredible. I'm missing you already :'(

I could reply just once, there would be no harm. I was basically a boss here, no one could tell me I couldn't sit here and text. I could just take a look at the "numbers" later anyway.
