Birthday

As soon as they left the three-hour conference meeting in Los Angeles, Patrick asked his PA, "Where is my phone?" They had to stop so that Patrick could greet a few men before he left them and headed straight for the elevator, so Alex could not respond. After exiting the building, they found their car waiting for their owners in the long row of vehicles and limousines parked in front of the building.

Outside the building, beside the car, stood the chauffeur he had hired earlier in the day. Upon noticing them, he unlocked the vehicle, and Patrick got inside, closely followed by his assistant, Alex.

When they were seated, Alex gave his phone to him.

"We are heading to the mayor's building. Do you want to have the wine you bought this morning?"

Patrick responded to his PA without turning to face him, "No, that's for a special purpose," and pressed a number on his phone.
