2 • Off to Work

'BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!'

"Ugh!" I groaned at the sound of my alarm. Wrestling under the sheets to stretch my body awake. I huffed and laid still until I was ambushed.

"Oof!" My dogs jump onto me, they heard the alarm as well. "5 more minutes..." I told them but they wouldn't budge. It went silent as we all heard larger footsteps coming up the stairs and through the halls.

A massive beast jumped onto me. "Vark!" I whispered, out of breath, he was heavy as hell. Attacked by kisses, I got up.

"Ok! I'm up, I'm up!" I giggled. "Let's get ready for work."

I looked back at my rear view mirror to check on Vark. "Almost there, baby!" I smiled while driving.

"Sorry, I couldn't let you sit in the front. I got some important meetings with some tech hooligans!" I wore an expensive all black suit with gold trims and cufflinks. Classic PC head with a few touches so I don't go looking like a peasant to the meeting.

We arrived at our destination. Vox Tower, the home of hell's most reliable source of entertainment and devices. Opening the back of my car, Vark jumped out his seat and wagged his tail rapidly as they landed. We both began to walk into the building but as the doors opened someone else was here as well.

Chattering amongst themselves, Valentino stood there on his phone while listening with small comments about the things Velvet told him. Vox groaning at his phone then he suddenly spotted Vark and I.

"My boy!" Vox screamed, smiling as he ran towards Vark. He clasped as Vark charged into him. He started to laugh while cuddling with Vark.

"Did you enjoy your stay at Chilli's?" His voice was goofy and mushy towards Vark. Vark responded wagging his tail and Vox chuckled. "Yes you did!"

"Ahem!" I interrupted them since I was in a bit of a rush. "Vark's good with you? Great, I got a meeting if everything's good here." I gestured towards the elevator doors. "Oh, you do?" Vox questioned.

I huffed and looked towards Velvet and Valentino who've been staring at me the whole time. "Yes." I said.

I noticed Valentino eyeing my fit and was impressed. "You must be getting paid pretty well to be wearing something so..." His eyes look at Vox. "...attractive." A hint of jealous and disgust was clearly heard in Valentino's voice.

Vox groaned and got up from the ground. Not wanting to get involved, I slowly parted away from the tension. "I'll be off then?" Gesturing away, again.

"You gonna be streaming tonight? I might join?" Vox said as I was leaving and looked back at Valentino. "If I have time." He stated.

"Oh, yeah sure. Gotta go! See you later, Vark!" I rushed over to the elevator and waved to Vark. He waved his tail back.

•°40 minutes into the meeting°•

"Look, you've been lacking lately. Both in popularity and money, if you're not able to pay with the agreed amount then I won't be afraid to terminate this partnership." I stated with a threatening overtone.

"I know, we've been delaying this game but I promise you it will be worth your while!" A man in a fine suit, multiple golden rings and a golden tooth has been pleading I don't cut him off from his company's partnership with Vox Industries.

I sigh and roll my eyes, getting up from my seat. Slowly walking towards him, glazing my hands along the edge of the table. "It's simple. You pay we don't cut you loose." I say upfront to his face.

"Don't pay?" I grab his throat and choke him. Taking his phone from his pocket and lift him up. "And we'll cut you loose. Try anything funny and you'll lose more than your reputation." His phone explodes in my hand and I drop him back into his seat.

"Easy! So what's it going to be?" I smile as I see the fear in his eyes.
