The meeting started with the Beta team to report on the progress of our project. However, I keep glancing at Thalia, who seems uncomfortable in her seat. Her fingers fidgeted at her pen while staring at her laptop.

She didn't expect this to happen.

I can sense the whole room's ambiance. They also didn't expect to see the daughter of Carter in our meeting.

I'm not sure why I decided to keep her near me. I'm just bothered that it's not only a stalker scheme. I feel like that jerk who tried to kill her was not alone.
