Ana’s brow furrowed. What's wrong with her?Before either could react, Kiara bolted from the room, her footsteps echoing like panicked whispers down the hall.“Why is she acting like that?” Cleopatra muttered, unease creeping into her voice. “I only wanted to confirm if Mr. Alvin was in his office.”Ana shrugged, uneasily. “Maybe it’s because of what happened the other day… when you took Calvin away.

Culkin.”A brief silence followed thick, expectant.Anthony’s brows drew together, his displeasure immediate and unmasked.“Why isn’t Guinevere included?”Ethan hesitated. His gaze flickered toward Blake, the project manager, a trace of unease betraying his otherwise composed demeanor.
