The Returning Ex

As both men headed toward the elevator, John asked, “Is everything ready?”

Zack nodded in response. “Ready when you are, boss.”

At that moment, they ran into William, who happened to come out of his office. When he saw both of them in decent attire, he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. There is no fieldwork today, plus John has a meeting to attend later, so where exactly are they going? Just as William was about to step forward and find out, the elevator door opened, whereupon John and Zack walked inside.

While William didn’t manage to get to John in time, he soon felt a vibration from his phone a few seconds later before realizing it was a message from his son. ‘I have some important business to take care of, so I’m going to take a leave today. Anyway, the documents you need are ready on the table in my office.’

For the next few moments, William only stood in the corridor, quietly staring at the elevator until he snapped out of his trance and made his way to John’s office. I don’t remember seeing John coming back yesterday, and it looks like he is going to be missing again for the whole day. With his brows furrowed, William pondered in John’s office for a while, trying to figure out what was going on. John has never acted so strangely.
