closed starter for @miss-nina-walker ; set several months ago
Though he wasn’t in the business of making rash decisions, Sterling knew that if his father could have seen him stepping out of the back room of a New York City club after calculating and collecting the proper earnings from the drug dealers that worked for and within that club, he would have cursed him as a disgrace and drug him from the place by his ear. Still, even with that in the back of his mind as he taught one of the bartenders how best to inflate their sales, Sterling never felt more in his element.
He had only been working for the Devils for a few weeks at that point, and only for several days while actually living in the city, but he felt in his gut that he had made the right decision. Pulling out his phone as he exited the club, Sterling checked it to see if Nina had responded to his text about ‘dreadful Atlanta traffic.’ He had yet to tell the woman about his move to NYC, wanting to surprise her and planning on doing so the next day after he took care of some immediate business for the Devils today. Between settling into his townhouse in the Upper East Side and starting to get his hands dirty in the gang’s business, he hadn’t had much time to plan his surprise.
Making the journey from Moonlight to Sweet Kiss Studios, the porn production company that he knew the simple idea of would be enough to have his mother feeling faint, Sterling wasted no time in parking and heading in to the main entrance. Looking around, he waited to be acknowledged by someone so that he could collect their books to clean up and check over.
“Excuse me, miss. I’m here on the behalf of Garrett Miller. I was told there were some business documents for me to take and look over.” He asked the first person that wandered close enough, and looked coherent enough, for him to reach out to gain their attention.
