Chapter 31: Experience

Elliot continued addressing the room, saying something about a celebration of life. I couldn’t focus on his words, because it felt like my heart was trying to escape my body. When he was done speaking, everyone stood up and swarmed in different directions. Everyone seemed to want to greet the siblings directly, so getting to Yujin seemed impossible.

I stayed seated, still in disbelief that he would name me head of the firm. Even if it was your standard issue accounting firm, I didn’t know the first thing about what it takes to run one. I knew even less about their family affairs, since I’d mostly been doing low level tasks. This had to be a joke or Elliot trying to get a rise out of Yujin.
