“D
o you still keep up with Chaim?”
Nochum Braunfeld looked up from his desk to find his boss standing awkwardly in the doorway.
“I’m sorry?”
“Chaim. You know Chaim Reimer. I know you guys are friendly. Are you still in touch with him?” Dovi Gelber was speaking the words but something in his face said he was uncomfortable about it. Nochum shrugged. “Not all the time but I have heard from him here and there text messages and stuff. Actually I ran into him at Landau’s one night a few weeks ago. It was a funny story my wife…”
“Okay whatever I’m sure it was” Gelber said waving his hand. “I just wanted to know if you still speak to him that’s all.”
Gelber stepped into the small office and sat down across from Braunfeld. Mendy Coleman Braunfeld thought to himself would never have come in without asking permission boss or not.
