Chapter 30. First Order

I waited for a while outside Marcus’s office, I don’t know how many minutes she took to walk before she came out.

“Just leave the folder, then come back later after lunch,” she said to me while combing the hair wheel with his finger. I swallowed forcefully, I couldn’t voice what to say. Her red lips before seemed to have lost color even the blazer she was wearing before is no longer wearing now.

“Didn’t you hear me? Come back this afternoon after lunch,” she said irritably.

“Mr. President is waiting for that,” I said in my casual voice.

Instead of answering she just laughed at me. I tightened my grip on the folder as I watched her do so.

“I’ll deliver that to Gabriel, so you may go...” She declares.

I shuddered at the last thing she said.

“Gabriel told me to wait for the folder to give to him before lunch.”

She was momentarily stunned by what I said, but she also recovered immediately. “It’s really good that Alessandra chose an ally.”
