First Day (5)

Jack was walking across the quad, headed back towards his hotel, when his phone rang.

"Hey Abigail, what's up?" he asked after answering the phone.

"Jack, I just wanted to call and let you know I formally accept your job offer. I sent you the signed paperwork."

"That's great, Abigail! I'm glad to hear that. Have you figured out where you want to set up headquarters?"

"Yep. The other half of the floor where Henry set up office is available, and I already talked to the leasing agent."

Her choice made sense. Being next door to Henry made it easier for them to meet and communicate confidentially.

"Look at you, hitting the ground running. I like it. And, once you have an office, don't cheap out setting it up. I mean, no gold plated desks, but make sure to get quality stuff."

"You're sure?" She sounded hesitant.

"Yes. A dreary place leads to dreary thoughts, so make sure you furnish your office so you actually like being there."
