Novel & Cerita Quarter Life

IN THE SYNTAX QUARTER, “ Did you see what I see?” Victoria asked Luna and Jacob who was with her in the living room watching an action movie. “ What?” Luna and Jacob asked. “ It felts like Devon is glowing, I even noticed the little smile on his face.” Victoria gossiped. “ And why is that?” Luna asked in a frown. “ It felts like he is happy.” Victoria said and grinned widely. “ What’s wrong with that, everyone can be happy.” Luna said.

I roamed my eyes around and saw a young man sitting beside me, staring and looking amused. "Bad dream or good dream?" He asked smiling. I almost forgot that I was currently on my way to London by train and I kind of regretted choosing an Economy seat. I should have chosen Standard Premier Class or Business Premier in that case I could daydream without getting bothered and embarrassed by the person sitting next to me. Being too thrifty could be a little disadvantageous at times.

Then I put up the full eight quarters side by side. The Pacific division figures land the way I knew they would if the room was paying attention. Q3 and Q4 of last year look weak in isolation. Sitting next to the preceding six quarters and the forward projections that are already tracking ahead, they look like exactly what they are: a planned investment trough before a return phase that is already underway. I don't say any of this. I let the numbers say it.

I said late Friday afternoon as I stood in front of a whiteboard that was covered in bullet points and flowcharts. "Phase one: the casual 'runin.' We need to be spotted together at a modest but respectable public event that shouts, 'We're just two regular people falling in love, not a calculated PR move.'" Sprawling in the still-too-small armchair, Jett arched an eyebrow.
