Jemma apparated just outside of the Alexander and stepped in. It was a rare night that she saw her club empty. Very rare. The image made her skin crawl a little but she wasn't that surprised. The staff were sitting at the bar chatting and all looked reletively terrified when she arrived.
"Having a nice evening?" she asked with an heir of disapproval and intimidation. "Has it been like this all nice?"
They just nodded at her, looking like they were waiting for her to fire every last one of them for sitting around. She wondered if she was really that much of a bitch.
"The Cornfoot's Ceremony is beautiful, you should all go enjoy it. Go on, get out of here," she told the staff. "And Nick, hand me the cognac," she told him, holding her hand out. "And two glasses." He did as he was told and she thanked him, setting them down on the bar.
It didn't take long for the staff to clear out and for her to set the sign to closed. On matter of principle she pretty much never closed early but she was in the mood for as little people as possible, Stamford aside, and absolutely no Christmas Cheer.
"I hope you don't mind it's just us," she said to him as she took her cloak off.
