Ewan stopped listening to Spider, who was going on and on about his latest breakthrough in the software business, when Sandro stepped into the office, carrying a load of files.
"You have lots of work to do, old friend. I don't know how you would forget that, choosing to spend hours on a video call with Spider. It's not like he's Athena or something."
Spider's laugh rang out from the screen. "Sandro, bring your big head to the screen so I can see you…"
Sandro scoffed. "Look at this lad… you seem to forget you're the youngest of us by years."
Another laugh from Spider. "And how does that matter to my request? I haven't seen you in the longest time."
"Well, that's because you've chosen to live in the shadows. You won't even come out to hang with either of us. We don't even know where you are. For all we know, you might be in some country in Africa, having your fill of their ladies."
"Well, they do have beautiful ladies."
