Ryan's friend's campsite café is located on the outskirts of West New York City. By 3 PM, people began showing up one by one.
The café didn't just serve coffee; it also offered a variety of snacks. Since it was Ryan's birthday, the café manager had specially made a birthday cake for him and even brought out a BBQ grill.
Ryan and Peter were the first to arrive, busy getting the fire going for the BBQ. Olivia checked the time. It was 3:15 PM. “Hey, where's the boss and Aiden? They're still not here?”
Ryan shrugged. “The boss has something to take care of today, so she can't make it. Aiden's probably running late.”
“Wait, the boss isn't coming?”
“Yeah, she told me last night.”
Aiden Thompson didn't show up until 3:30 PM. He lived pretty far from here, and it took him over an hour by tax
