Chapter 61 The Art Of Discovery

• "Only stalling because it is a bit embarrassing. I was on my way to a meeting and realized I'd missed lunch. I stopped at a coffee shop and ordered a sandwich and a latte. Reached in my coat pocket-no wallet. Checked my suit jacket-no wallet. Opened my briefcase. Not my briefcase. Mine was in the limo on its way to the airport then on to Japan. Now, I can't call the limo because my cell phone is in my briefcase. While I'm puzzling this out the cashier is getting impatient. I had no cash on me. Sera rescued me and bought my lunch. And she leant me her cell phone and Mr. Hiriotto and I exchanged briefcases via my limo driver. She refused to let me pay her back so I offered to escort her to dinner."
• "And what do you do?" asked Mrs. Maystorm.
• "I'm an illustrator. You know, children's books."
