Even though they had met once before, there was still a few items to discuss. Tonight, all business should be concluded.
His ghoul waited patiently at the entrance for the expected guest. Once she arrived, Jennifer would be led up the left-hand set of stairs up to the ballroom observatory landing. At the center there was a chess set on a marble podium. Several of the pieces were displaced from their starting squares, as if there was a match in progress. On either side of the landing was an identical set of double doors. Jack's ghoul rapped on the doors closest to the stairs you ascended and opened the door for Jennifer to enter.
Inside of Jack's office, the wall lighting was comfortably dim. Two low-back velvet chairs trimmed in gold leaf sat before the same desk he used as Seneschal was now located here- an ornate hardwood design but worn and aged save for a refinished surface. The desk's surface itself was mostly clear save for a brass inkwell and pen set and a small, bulbous decanter.
Behind the desk was a large curio cabinet. Several items could be seen on it's shelves: an ornate chess set, a steampunk themed set of cufflinks, antique amethyst cufflinks, a men's diamond ring, a tie bar with matching cufflinks, a silk kerchief with dark purples and gold trim embroidered with a J, and a knife with the Ventrue sigil etched in the blade. To the side were two books: an English Translation of Le Language des Fleurs by Charlotte de la Tour and an old, worn book.
On the bottom shelf, there was a 2 by 1 marble slab bearing a stylized engraving of the prologue to Hammurabi's code, obsidian flakes masking the sections lost to time.
On the right-hand wall there was an ebony polished armoire with a lazy susan on top with various decanters and crystal glasses. There was a framed artwork with pressed flowers hung on the wall. A knowledgeable observer would see that itfeatured primarily mountain laurel, laurel-leaved magnolia, and bee orchids flowers against a black background. Next to it was a Cheetah skin spread and pinned to the wall. At the back corner of the right-hand wall was another set of double doors, though these were closed.
Expecting his guest this evening, Jack rose to his feet to greet the Lady Seneschal. As was typical, he had polished dress shoes, suit pants and a purple vest over a white dress shirt. His Rolex was on his wrist and he wore an amethyst studded tie pin.
