Chapter 6: Post-Meeting

"YOU BLOODY IMBECILE, CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT?!?!?!" Jean hollered at Nyx in rage as Nyx cowered in her seat. "I TOLD YOU TO CHECK YOUR NUMBERS A MILLION TIMES, AND YOU STILL GOT IT WRONG!" he screamed. "I-I'm.. S-s-s-o-rry J-J-Jea-n-n..." Nyx stuttered out amidst her tears. "I t-t-thou-gh-t I g-g-got th-th-em r-r-r-ight this t-t-tim-e..." Jean looked at her in frustration and stormed out of the room while Revel sighed, walking over to Nyx and patting her on the back to comfort her.

"It's okay Nyx, it's not entirely your fault. It's mine too, since I was the one who was checking your numbers. I should have noticed it then." Revel said as Nyx sobbed into his shoulder, her tears soaking into his white shirt. He was puzzled too, since he was very certain that the numbers were the amounts that were given to them by Jean. He made a mental note to check on this matter again later on once Nyx had calmed down.

After a few more minutes, Nyx sniffled and lifted her head from Revel's shoulder, revealing a wide damp patch where her tears had soaked through. She gave him an apologetic smile, "Sorry about your shirt Rev" and she looked at him with puffy, red rimmed eyes. Revel's heart ached at the sight of her tear stained face and sorely wished that he could have punched Jean for causing Nyx to cry to such a state. "It's okay Ny, I hope you feel a little better now. We'll get through this together, okay?" Revel smiled back at Nyx reassuringly. Nyx hiccuped softly as she laughed through the remnants of her tears, and nodded back at Revel before turning back to her desk.

Revel smiled back at Nyx, before replacing it with a frown as he turned back to his computer. He was determined to get to the bottom of this and find out how this could have happened.
