Esmeralda smirked slightly. "I thought you'd never ask."

The next day, Esmeralda woke up at five in the morning, quietly making her tea in the kitchen. She was never one to sleep up to the "healthy" standards, but Esmeralda was one of the few who could pull an all-nighter three times a week and still feel completely refreshed.
Esmeralda had never been a fan of sweet tea. It always felt weird to her whenever her drink was remotely sweet, hot chocolate being an exception. It was the very reason why Esmeralda drank black tea instead. This morning, she was mixing Keemun tea - a rather bitter form of black tea - and Darjeeling, one of the most sought after black teas. Esmeralda wasn't a simple person.
Esmeralda sat at the counter, drinking her black tea mixture and scrolling through Netflix on her tablet as the sun rose in the already lit up city. She usually watched Grey's Anatomy - it was one of her favorite shows - but Esmeralda was definitely one to get bored eventually. Today, Esmeralda Steeley was not going to watch the same old show as she usually did.
She was going to watch My Little Pony.
Esmeralda hated children's shows, almost as much as she disliked children themselves. But the redhead had some time, since she wasn't going to call the Paynes until a bit later - half past five was a bit early, no? Besides, Esmeralda never actually watched a kids' show, even when she was a child.
Esmeralda grudgingly chose My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks, putting on her earbuds as she sipped her still-hot tea. The redhead always had a talent of hearing people's dialogue even when she was honed in on music or a show. If something popped up, she would notice.
Before Esmeralda knew it, she was back to watching Grey's Anatomy. She couldn't blame herself. That My Little Pony thing practically made her flinch. She peered up at the clock - yup, time to call the Payne.
Esmeralda dialed the number Payne gave her, making sure to block her own phone number. There were only three people in the world who knew her private phone number - Doug, Fred, and herself. Esmeralda did not want to add any of the Paynes to the list.
"Mr. Payne?" Esmeralda said after he picked up the phone. "I'd like to talk about your proposal."
