Oliver quickly ended the phone call with his mother, anxious to get out of that conversation for obvious reasons. He glanced at the clock, it was too late to do anything proper for dinner and he was much too tired anyway, maybe he'd order out? That would probably be his best bet for decent tasting food.
He pulled a take-out menu out of one of his kitchen drawers and called in an order. Now, the real challenge would be staying awake while waiting for the delivery.

Mai was leaving the shop for her last round of the night, she had a few more orders to drop off and then she'd be able to finally return home.
She ended up at her last drop-off of the night. It was a huge, fancy complex, not the sort of place that she often got the privilege of visiting. Mai parked her scooter and then grabbed the keys and food, entering the building. She barely took more than a step inside before someone intercepted her.
"May I ask what you're doing here?"
It was a doorman, dressed in a red and black uniform that was clean and pressed, a sharp contrast to Mai's scruffy sneakers, baggy jeans, and loose tee-shirt.
"I, uh, have a food delivery for…" She glanced down at the receipt in her hand, "Davis." An Englishman? That might explain the fancy building.
The doorman eyed her up and down, trying to figure out how much trouble she could get into trying to deliver food, "Fine, just be quick about it."
Mai nodded and quickly moved past him. Once in the red-carpeted elevator, Mai breathed a sigh of relief. She was always nervous around people like that. She punched the number written on the delivery slip and waited, finally forced to catch her breath for once. The elevator dinged and she got off.
She hadn't realized it would be on the top floor. When she stepped out of the elevator there was a single small room with the elevator against one wall, and the apartment door across from it, large, dark and foreboding. The wall's to either side of her were made of glass and showed a spectacular view of the city.
No, now wasn't the time to admire the view, she had to deliver the food and get home.
