Office phone rings

As the party becomes somehow louder and more crazed, Chelsea makes her way over to her husband and Nate watching one of the crew do some tricks. As you look over, you hear the office phone go off. Not seeing anyone else hear it or paying any real attention, you pick it up. "Uh, hello?" "Yeah, is Jeremy there?" A little confused by the "greeting" you answer that Jeremy is here celebrating. The voice rudely asks "Well could you get him? This is pretty important." Shrugging, you cup the lower part of the phone and yell to Jeremy that someone is on the phone for him. He kisses his wife on the cheek and makes a light jog to his personal office and says "Thank Mike, you can hang up." and shuts the door. Right as you see Jimmy doing a sort of biker drink ritual you hear a yell on the phone going "What the hell do you think you're doing calling my office?" "Relax, I just asked to talk to you man." "How am I supposed to relax when you could fuck things up?" ....What? You couldn't even imagine what conversation you stumbled upon. You heard some laughter and cheering behind you as you saw Chelsea engaging in some drinking shenanigans.

"What's that noise?" "It's my party you idiot, I told you it was tonight!" You sighed, glad to hear the party was loud enough for them to hear, although you did tuck the phone away from the noise. "So what did you call for?" " We need this money by the end of the next two months or so. Without it, this whole plan of yours isn't going to end that great." "Well look, the party right now will get them inspired to work even harder for this company and they won't even imagine that I've been skimming on their pay and that this job is going under." You couldn't believe what you were hearing. You didn't really know Jeremy that well, but you figured he was at least some sort of decent guy. This is a whole new level though. "Does your wife know?" "You think I'm gonna tell you that? Whether she's involved or not is up to me. So how much do we need? "About $100,000." "Shit" "I know" "I'll talk to you tomorrow man, I've got a party to get to." "Hey, about your wife?" "What about her?" "I've seen her, I'm sure you could use her." As you heard a cackle and the other voice slammed the phone, you could hear Jeremy say to no one, "Fuck you." You weren't sure what you were feeling. Betrayel? Anger? ...A plan?

As you were recovering from this revelation, you see Nate make his way over to you as Jeremy leaves his office. "Hey, everything good?"
