After the first man rushed out of the office, Elke hopped out of the way. In fact, she hopped so far she ended up huddling in the threshold of the next door down. That was when Sunshine Popov joined her. Sunshine was of the disposition suggested by her name. Elke originally really liked the other girl, but the more they worked together, Elke decided she was somehow too peppy. Elke was a bubbly girl herself, but when cleaning up the kinds of messes they found themselves in sometimes, well, even Elke found her cheerfulness strange.
“What’d I miss?” Sunshine peered down the hall where the older man was stomping off.
“Argument of some kind in the manager’s office. Who was that?”
“I don’t know. He looks rich though.” There was a brightness lighting Sunshine’s eyes that Elke recognized when she looked at a delicious pastry.
They looked at each other quizzically before another person stalked out of the office. He was much younger than the first man, though he was dressed just as handsomely. When he glanced their way, Elke shivered.
“Who’s that?” she said quietly.
Sunshine’s eyes were round, twin suns. ”That’s the guy who owns this whole place!”
“Really?” Elke blinked. She’d never seen anyone like that around there before. “He’s kinda.. scary,” she added, though she wasn't really sure why she was afraid.
