Vera Wave quickly changed and rushed out of the building, all in less than eight minutes.
It wasn't that she feared Kris Cooper docking her pay. The real issue was that it was getting late; if she didn't hurry, she'd be late for work.
Outside the building, Tommy Taylor stood by the car. Seeing her emerge, he greeted her with a warm smile.
"Miss Wave, please get in."
"Thank you."
Vera nodded courteously and sat beside Kris Cooper in the spacious back seat.
Within moments, the car started moving.
She glanced at Tommy in the front seat, then at Kris Cooper beside her. Filled with questions she felt it inappropriate to ask, she remained quiet.
"Why aren't you writing it down?" Kris Cooper asked.
Of course, he didn't really want to settle accounts with her; he just wanted to hear her talk, to banter with her a bit.
"Ah, oh…" She took out a form. "A total of four, so four hundred."
"You sneaked half of one."
"How about three hundred and fifty, then?"
