After the call, the secretary brewed up two cups of coffee and flashed a professional smile as she slid them over to Kaleb and Allen. Mr. Wilson, sip on. Mr. Blakelys tied up but will catch you soon.
Kaleb eyed the coffee on the table, calm as a summer breeze.
Under his breath, he muttered disdainfully.
Allen, with some sass in his voice, quipped, I have to hand it to Mr. Tyrone and juggling us with his busy gig.
The secretary kept her cool, acting oblivious to the jab. Ill go now. Give me a shout if you need anything.
Allen asked, How much longer will the meeting take?
I cant say but Mr. Blakely will meet you right after.
Allen had more to say but Kaleb motioned the secretary out. Thats all, thanks.

The secretary dashed out, a wave of relief washing over her.
Allen was peeved. Sir, hes giving us the cold shoulder. Why are we still camped here?
Tyrone brushed them off, owning his spot in Mathias.
There was a saying that a tiger on the plains was mocked by dogs, wasnt there? Allen pondered, taking a quiet gulp of his brew. If this were Philade, Tyrone wouldnt dare pull this off.

Kaleb, cool as a cucumber, took a sip of his coffee, saying, Hes gunning for this reaction. Bailing now would play right into his hands.
He was here for Jennies sake. Tyrone knew it. Making them wait showed his stance that he did not agree Jennie should return to Philade with him. Bouncing now would be like waving goodbye to their chance to talk it out.
We shouldnt have sent your granddaughter back yesterday. We should have headed straight for the airport. What could Tyrone do then?
Allen said.
You reckon I hadnt thought of that? Kaleb retorted. Jennies tight with Tyrone, more than with Keilani. Forcing her away will just make her resent us. I want her to genuinely accept me and Zandra.
Plus, Tyrone could just sneak Jennie away as easily as they had brought her to Philade. All this back-and-forth was only hurting Jennie.
So, we just sit here and wait? Allen asked.
Patience, yes, Kaleb replied.
Calm and collected, Kaleb grabbed a magazine, saying, Youve still got a lot to learn, kid.
Allen pondered, taking a quiet sip of his coffee, his brow furrowed in thought.
Did we clue Lancer in on the plan? Kaleb asked.
Yeah, I gave him the lowdown, Allen replied, rising and strolling to the window. Let me shoot him a quick call to confirm.
