Ji watched him, leave then sighed in relief. A head peeked out from one of the rooms off to the left. It was one of the secretaries, looking to see if the stranger was really gone like Ji had wanted him to be. She carefully exited the room and made her way to Ji, her footsteps being the only noise in the room. He clasped his hands together, tapping his index fingers against one another as he waited for the secretary to say something to him.
"That meeting won't happen for a long time and you know that, Ji," she said as she approached to the pondering young man. She folded her arms as she watched the doors, as if she was expecting for Ellis to walk in at any moment to do something, but Ji knew that he wouldn't be back here. At least, not for a long while.
"I know, but he doesn't know that, and neither will the Mafia." He continued to tap his fingers against one another, pondering if he made the right decision to tell this stranger about a meeting that wasn't likely to happen for another few months.
The secretary pursed her lips. "And what about the Angel?"
Ji paused for a moment, considering his options of what he could say to her. "I needed to know whether she was in the same area as us, rather on the same planet as us." He said this in a serious tone, as if Ji knew exactly what Ellis had meant but no one was exactly sure.
The secretary looked confused for a second, then shook her head as she made her way back to the front desk to go back to her work. Her heels clicked away from Ji as he continued to study the inviting outdoors, remaining on the arm of the sofa. Ji was left to his thoughts, wondering if he could get away with what he had just told this stranger.
Ji rested his elbows on his knees. "Something tells me, Angel," he whispered softly, that no one could hear. "That this won't be the last that we'll encounter each other."
Am I sorry about this blob of text? No.
