The office was barren, displaying a blatant disregard for aesthetics. The walls and ceiling were bare concrete, while piping and conduits travelled along the ceiling seemingly at random.
The desk itself was a dull grey and nearly blended in with the concrete’s natural colouring. The same applied to a row of matching file cabinets. Clara noticed they were all fitted with a heavy locking bar and hardened combination padlocks.
There was nothing on the wall, and other than a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, the desk was bare. Hanging from the ceiling, Clara spotted a pull-down screen. Given how spartan this room was, the black tripod and stool nearby stuck out.
This place had a decidedly melancholic feel. The decor actively leeched joy from the heart. She dreaded the thought of working from within these walls. Heck, she was surprised such a place could exist within Evelyn’s sphere of influence.
“Functional,” Clara said grimly.
“I told him depressing,” Evelyn said.
“That works too,” Clara quipped.
