Elion sat at the head of the long, polished conference table, his fingers intertwined as he listened—or at least tried to listen—to the ongoing presentation. The meeting with the representatives of Oscars Inc. had been going on for almost an hour now, but he found it increasingly difficult to concentrate. His sharp gaze flickered between the speaker and the large screen displaying the latest financial reports, yet his mind remained elsewhere.
Kade, sitting beside him, noticed the subtle way Elion's fingers tapped against the table—a telltale sign of impatience. With a barely restrained sigh, Kade leaned in slightly, lowering his voice so only Elion could hear.
"Please focus," Kade whispered. "The person in your office isn't going to disappear."
Elion flicked his gaze toward Kade. He knew exactly who Kade was referring to.
Raelynn.
