After dialing and exchanging words, Allen returned to the couch, settling in. They confirmed Lances got it covered with the girl.
Alright. Kaleb nodded, reclining and shutting his eyes for a moments respite.
Time seemed to crawl.
Allen stole a glance at his watch, irritation simmering within.
Twenty minutes dragged on.
The secretary entered with a tray, swapping out their coffee cups and setting down fresh ones. Enjoy, she chirped.
How much longer is Mr. Blakelys meeting supposed to drag? Allen couldnt help but inquire.
The secretary offered a reassuring smile. It should be wrapping up soon. Just hang tight a tad more. Hell be here right after.
It felt like words were said yet nothing was really said.
Allen was at a loss for words. Restlessness gripped him, prompting him to start pacing.
Before he knew it, another twenty minutes had zipped by.
The secretary breezed in once more to switch out the coffee.
As Allen opened his mouth, likely gearing up to ask about the meeting again, he surprised everyone by blurting out, Wheres the restroom?
Right this way. Follow me, the secretary replied, barely containing a laugh.
Kaleb paused for a moment and punched in Jennies watch number.

I miss you loads. Do you miss me?
I sure do, grandpa, Jennie replied, her voice dripping with affection.
Sweetie, I wish I could hang with you every day. But your dads not keen on you kicking it with me in Philade for a bit.
Dont sweat it. Next time you swing by Mathias, make sure you drop in on me, Jennie suggested.
Then, Kalebs voice crackled through Jennies watch, frustration evident. Im stuck at the Blakely Group, trying to knock some sense into your old man. Hes dodging me like a pro and keeping us apart. Clearly, youre pining for me and probably itching to jet off to Philade. Its all on your dads plate, really!
