Gentleman Jamie Ch. 01

Jamie walked down the busy street, it was just after 5pm and all of London's office workers were fighting to get home. He weaved between those hurrying to get the next train, even though he wasn't in a rush he couldn't help but get swept up in the hustle and bustle of the city.

Jamie turned the corner into a side street and slowed his pace, unconsciously relaxing now that he was off a busy main road. He pulled out his phone and opened the group chat. Diane had messaged to say that she had already reached the restaurant, Natasha, Marie and Emily were all between 5 and 10 minutes away. As he pushed open the door of the restaurant Jamie immediately saw Diane at the table waving to him, surrounded by 4 empty chairs. He walked over as she rose from her seat and came towards him and he gave her a hug.

"How are you?" she squealed, Diane was in her early 40s and had thought of Jamie as her younger brother ever since the two of them had worked together at Porter
