One more pleased customer to add to the books, and a job well done. Jesse smiled, delighted with how the exchange had gone as she reached out and plucked the card from Gavin's fingers. After a quick glance at it she tucked it into the same envelope as the money and then tucked that away in her breast pocket. "Well it was a pleasure to meet you, Gavin. I'll wait for you to get back to me after you've completed your tests, just in case you wish to change any of the parameters. And I look forward to any unique requests." She was especially excited for more custom orders since they made for such a great little puzzle to solve.

Jesse couldn't help but spot the pocket watch he pulled out, eyeing it curiously while she had the chance before it was tucked away. "Nice watch," she said as she also stood and gave a small stretch. "If you ever need it repaired let me know. I restore and service antique watches on the side." Really since that was the bulk of her legitimate business she shouldn't think of it as a side hustle. She gave a quick flash of her own pocket watch at that, showing off the pristine enamel finish on the watch face before glancing at the time as well and tucking it back away.

"You have my number, Gavin, I look forward to hearing from you." A grunt from his bodyguard lurking at the edge of the woods caught Jesse's attention and she gave him a wave as well. "You two have fun. Maybe we can do lunch sometime."
