Yes!

“I can’t believe it! Thank you so much. What do I need to do?”

Vespa laughs. “I love your enthusiasm. I think we should all have a drink to celebrate.”

Vespa motions to the bartender, a young woman with blonde hair, around your age. Odd, despite the dimly lit interior she wears sunglasses.

“Four of the specials.”

The bartender nods.

Vespa looks at you. “So what makes you want to be a lawyer?”

“Aside from the much bigger paycheck, I enjoy a good argument.”

Vespa laughs. The bartender puts some sort of reddish drinks on the table.

Vespa raises hers in a toast. “Cheers! To our scholarship girl!”

The four of you drink.

The taste of the drink is sharp, rich, sweet, and slightly metallic.

Linda and Lydia eye you, grinning.

Lydia motions to the bartender. “Another round of specials on me.”

The bartender brings another round.

As you drink, you look at Vespa. “Do you usually drink at lunch?”

“An occasional drink is encouraged. We don’t usually have this much, but it’s a special occasion.”

The third round has you feeling strange.

Vespa, Lydia, and Linda grin at you. You swear their teeth have grown longer.

“We should be heading back, girls. Work to do and I’m sure Jessica needs to get back to the mail room.”

You nod. You walk outside. After being in the dark bar it feels incredibly bright despite the clouds.

Vespa hands you a parasol. “Take this, a little shade is a wonderful thing.”

You take it. You thought it was just an affectation, however, the shade from the parasol is quite comforting.

You step back into The Company. You could head back to the mailroom. Of course there is lots to explore.
