Luke got on the bus and made his way back downtown. It was somewhere that was a new area of the town, so it took him a bit to navigate. Usually, he did not need to walk in that area. The Immersion Center had just opened up as well. Luke started to walk past stopping as he saw the big wall of advertisings and pamphlets on the side of the building again. The utter stature and awe-inspiring architecture of the center made him stop to look over at the various opportunities available a second time. There were some nice offers. There were offers for more janitors, guards, salesclerks and IT technicians. Luke did not know how to code. He did not have the temperament to deal with other people's bullshit either. He had too much of his own to deal with. He did know some martial arts. He was a brown belt in karate and he did take kendo on the weekends too. "I could be a guard." he said softly to himself. He could also probably ask Beverly. He was always nice to her. He might have fucked up a bit by using the mean nickname yesterday, but he never did it when he was a kid. He could apologize.

He walked into the front door of the center and saw Beverly sitting there. She was in a different outfit. Dressed in a cute but smart skirt suit including black kitty heels. He also noticed her nails, nicely manicured and painted a light yellow. He walked up to her desk. She looked up at him from the desk through her glasses. "Oh, it's you again." she said. Beverly was not happy to see him. She probably would not want to give him the hook up that she had hinted she could do. Luke had at least awareness to cringe and look guilty. "I am so sorry about that. You were always so nice to me, and you did not deserve that. Matt's sleepovers were always better when you came down offering snacks." She smiled despite herself and a small blush came to her cheeks. "Well, I'm sure that it was a shock. I have slimmed down since then, but not all that much. It's the pass that I'm using for work." Luke just rubbed the back of his head. She looked at him with a snort. "What!?" she demanded. "I wanted to compliment you, but I'm not sure. I wouldn't offend you if I said you look cute now, right?" he asked her.

Beverly smiled a bit wider and said "Thank you. Yes, you can complement me on this appearance. I designed it myself. It took a whole day. I'll also take your kudos for slimming down." She always had that slight confidence to her. She was an honor's student as well. Luke nodded and said "You look amazing. I can't wait to see you off of work too." She certainly looked pleased as she looked back at her computer. "Excuse me for a moment. I have to get on this big email chain. We just opened up for the day." she said. "Of course. Don't mind me." Luke said as he wrung his hands. He could not totally suppress his loser tendencies. It took her 5 minutes to finish reading it all and replying. "You still here!?" she asked in shock. Luke nodded. "Yesterday, you said that you could hook me up with a pass. I spoke with my mom about it. She was totally for it." Beverly gave him a look. "Listen. I was being a bit hasty. It would be part of my friends and family discount, but we would need some time. I only just started here, and Matt wanted a Personal Pass too. So, it would need to be a Professional Pass."
