In fact, most other people had also turned up before she did, and the table was gradually filling up from my end, meaning that she was going to get pu...hed further and further away from me – much to my annoyance. And to make matters worse, I was already stuck next to one of the most boring people I’d ever worked with, ‘Nerdy Nigel’ as we used to call him. He sat there talking to me (talking at me to be more accurate) about various things that were probably fascinating to him, but bored the shit. The executives who had originally gouged the markets for billions at the time of the Presidential assassination had their own money mingled with the computer orders. If you had your own computer that virtually minted money, wouldn’t you?And the process would be repeated in a week or two, when the human beings resumed their reliance on computers.Amusingly, the comm broadcasting networks that covered the stock markets went nuts trying to figure out what was happening. Why were there so many. “Hey I just got a text from mom.” Tom told his dad taking a sit at the island. “Yeah, I’m getting pizza for dinner” Tom’s dad told him. After that and all through dinner Will, Tom’s dad didn’t say much. Tom headed back up to his room to watch TV till he would go to sleep. About an hour later there was a knock at the door. “Hey Tom, can I come in?” asked Will outside Tom’s door. “Yeah sure dad.” Will walked in and took a sit on the edge of the bed. “What’s up dad?” Tom asked not knowing why his. “Amanda? Hi, I’m Ewan. Thanks for being prompt.”She felt Ewan’s eye’s travel the length of her body, he walked around her, then looked her straight in the eyes. Up to that point she hadn’t felt nervous. Her throat was dry, “what if he didn’t want to use her as a model? She couldn’t really afford this to be a wasted journey. The bills were mounting up, the gas bill was long overdue, this modelling job would pay for it, there were others, but it was this or be cut off,” the thoughts ran though.
