CHAPTER 187

Before that, Noam wakes up at home. There’s a text on his phone,

Louie is here and he’s going on

It’s from Val, a Cellar manager. She sent it last night. There are no follow-up texts. Noam asks Liz, the Cellar’s general manager, to send the video. He sits in his pyjamas and watches. Louis doesn’t talk about what he did. He doesn’t talk about his time off. He tells a joke about a rape whistle. Noam tells Liz to delete the video at the Cellar.

Noam: As soon as I saw it, I said, ‘Oh shit, this is not going to be good.’
