Besides, this is way above your pay grade."
Those were her last words before she got into the car, leaving Aegon standing confused on the sidewalk.
"..."
'Above my pay grade.' He repeated her words in his head before the driver sounded the horn to shake him from thought.
"Sir we have to go. Miss Claudette is... Impatient."
Aegon quickly entered the car as they took off. The driver had pulled up the blink so as to not interrupt their conversation and now Aegon and Mira just sat in silence.
He stared out the window, focusing in the sun on his skin and beautiful scenery that blurred past him, but he couldn't take it any longer.
What did she mean by above my pay grade?
He thought but ultimately kept to himself as he tried to enjoy the ride in the fear of being seen as neurotic.
"..."
A second.
A minute.
Thirty minutes.
"What did you mean by that?" He asked finally.
Mira turned back to him, half startled half annoyed. "What?" She said simply.
