Chapter 30

"Hello there, young man." Jasper said while holding out his hand. He was dressed dapper in tan slacks, which had been ironed perfectly so that the crease was razor sharp. He had on black shoes that were shined bright enough to show your reflection, and a white button down shirt completed the ensemble.

Riley noticed a few of the black staff members watching him curiously. He shook Jasper‘s hand.

"Nice to meet you, sir." He said politely. One of the staff members cursed under her breath while another chuckled. When he saw them discreetly exchange money he hid a frown.

Riley ended up cutting both slices of pie and splitting it equally between himself, granny, Jasper and Helen. They ate their feast around a small table containing a potted plant, which Riley placed temporarily on the floor.
