A trio of bubbles danced on-screen.

Cool, looking good man. Nice to know I’m at least doing something worthwhile here.

Emmett got the impression that Blake wasn’t totally satisfied in his work.

Must be a cool place to work though, he tried.

Would be cooler if they paid me.

You work for Jenni Saito, right?

Yeah

Nice

Not really

Oh dang, sorry

Emmett hesitated, afraid of jumping the gun.

I’ve actually been trying to reach her. It’s semi-urgent but I haven’t heard back.

I’m sure she’s just busy.

You wouldn’t be able to give me her direct phone number, would you?

Sorry, she’d murder me.

Emmett huffed.

No worries. You’re not in the office now, by any chance? If she’s around, maybe you could pass along a message?

He could sense Blake’s waning interest in the increasing amount of time between replies.

I am but she just left for an off-site

Dang. I really need to talk to her and no one at the participant hotline is getting back to me. Any advice?

A long pause. He was almost surprised when Blake wrote back.

Honestly she doesn’t get back to me either, about pretty much anything, at least until she misses a deadline and then screams at me that I “didn’t push hard enough” and made her look bad

Jeez, she sounds like a lot of fun

Fucking hate her

The only way to get through to her is to show up in her office and stand there until she answers your question. That’s what I usually do when I can be bothered.

Nice haha

Honestly at this point I would do it

If only I knew where her off-site was

Or her trusty assistant let slip the location haha…

Emmett tensed in the absence of Blake’s reply.
