❝ Ah, Stoker! ❞
-—❧ Elias places a plate down on the coffee table in the breakroom, eight beautiful, delicious-looking cupcakes arranged in a circle in the center of the golden platter. He straightens up and pulls on his gloves slowly.
He can only assume the sight of the cupcakes was what brought on the question.
❝ I can give you the recipe for these. It’s always the recipe people want after they’ve tried them. I’ll just have to grab it from my cookbook back in my office. ❞
❝ Oooh-hoh-hoh, boss, you know the exact way to my heart. ❞ Tim rubbed his hands together in anticipation, before reaching over and plucking one of the cupcakes right from the perfect circle. There was no regard for the arrangement, all he was thinking about was free cupcakes. There were only eight of them, and that meant he had to act fast!
Not that he didn't care for his coworkers and their ability to enjoy sweets, but there are rules afterall. Early bird gets the worm, mouse gets the cheese, and all that.
He takes a bite, makes an exaggerated noise of pleasure, and talks before he swallows. ❝ I'd love the recipe. That sweet tooth of yours will be the thing that keeps me here the longest, you know, as long as bribes of cupcakes keep coming. ❞
