I nodded, “Yeah, what brings you here?”

Louis was nothing like Neil and Russel, he was a real chatterbox, can strike up a conversation with anyone, whether he knew them or not.

He explained, “Actually, Neil invested in a project over here, the one I’m working on. We’re partners now. There’s a party nearby tonight, so I came to get some pills for hangover in advance”

“Alright, see you” Louis waved goodbye.

I left the pharmacy only to find my car blocked with cars in front and back and an illegally parked car next to it with no one in it. To make matters worse, the driver didn’t even leave a contact number.
