Chapter 128: An Inspiration

"You wouldn't keep bananas in the fridge for a whole month and expect them to be fresh," said a man in dark-framed glasses who sat beside Emily, "so why would you keep coffee beans in the fridge?"

Emily loved coffee, but she didn't need to know that much about how to prepare it 'the perfect way'. The man just kept talking and talking. Just as she had expected, this business event was making her eyes glaze over with boredom.

Katie seemed to be loving the event. She wore a matching skirt and blazer combo, looking very professional, and excited by whatever she and Brandon were conversing about.

Emily's neighbor to the left was a woman in her thirties or so, who seemed to have no sense of humor. The man in the glasses, whose name was either Morty or Monty and looked to be in his fifties or sixties, kept lecturing everyone on the proper way to make coffee. Then his wife, a skinny woman with a blond pixie cut, made the conversation even more boring by talking about credit card insurance.
