86 4.10 Max Reappears In A Whole New Form and Dimension (1/2)

I reached my office and was greeted by the elder security guard that was stationed outside the glass door of the main office building. He greeted with his usual Thai gestures and so did I as I sauntered inside and headed up the stairs.

I saw some of my colleagues had already started to shuffle their stuff on their desk as they welcome the new work day. All of them one by one greeted me as I entered the main office and I greeted them back as well.

”HunNa... What time did you leave the office last night? You stayed back late in the office, didn't you? How was the narrator last night? Did you go out on a date or something? With the looks like you, it would be no wonder any girl would fall for your charm and charisma... Hahahaha...”

One of my colleagues edged over his desk and cheekily asked me about last nights situation and I just brushed him off with a smile and a wink of my eye. And the moment he saw my wink he understood what may have happened last night after the shirt meeting with the student like girl for the SPI narrator.

I unlocked my little cramped office at the rear of the department and entered in. I switched the overhead fan and put it to maximum speed, and switched on my rattling and shuddering old, window mounted air conditioner. The moment the air conditioner kicked into life, it shook momentarily before a cool breeze entered it.

I wondered to myself how long was this air conditioner being serviced and decided to call the maintenance to come over and check its freon gas to refill or clean its grill or something. I don't know much about aircon though, I just know how to operate them as a normal user would.

As I sat on the swivel chair behind my cluttered desk and the mana clear folder with the contract with the sites and rankings of the places to visit, documented and narrate, later on, I saw a movement at the corner of my eye.

”Hello Sam...! Nice little office you got here... You heard I called you a few hours right? Mind if I sit?”

My skin prickled with surprise as I saw Max integrate slowly before me as particles floated in a swirl and formed a shape of a person. He was dressed in light pants, a Hawaiian shirt on his back, a cream coloured fedora, his usual black walking stick and a set of leather moccasins.

He looked as if he was on a holiday and if I am not the oy one that can see and speak with him, he would be considered as an out of place farang.

”Gawd... You scare me Max...! How are you able to appear before me... Can anyone see you or something? What if people saw me gesturing to the thin air and without any presence of anyone before me? They would think of me as 'tingtong' right? So... Asides all these, this if your new form? And your getup is kinda... Cliche. Hahahahah.”

I snuggled and felt glad that there is someone I could talk to during times like this. Max walked over and sat but somehow his hands slipped through the back of the chair. He looked up at me feeling slightly dismayed as I noticed that he had taken up a form as a 3D holographic image that could communicate with me seamlessly.

Also, I notice his getup is somewhat related to this part of series, rather than in the past where he would be draped in a 3 piece zoot suit.

Max was observing his surroundings at the moment and he seemed surprised that he could walk through my table and also stick his head partially out from the window. The table that he had walked through had not even ruffled any of the scattered items in the table.

He looked like an apparition from the netherworld if not for his demeanour with his appearance like one of the Kingsmen, especially with his walking black cane.

”Max... You only appeared before within a few hours ago right? And not some hours like last night in the middle of the night or something?”

”Sam, is there something that you wanna tell me but find it rather awkward as it might be interfering with your personal life, that's why the reason you brought up this subject was to hide something or doesn't want me to somehow uncover your secret? Even if I knew, I won't probe as it is your personal space... Yeah, and so what happened night? Mind sharing me with some juicy parts? Hahahaha... ”
