“Well… I went to get Ms. Lynn just now, but Ash was inside. She said she had something to deal with, so tonight’s meeting is canceled.”
A few teammates could not help but mutter under their breath, “Isn’t this a bit much? Pre-mission meetings are a long-standing rule at the Institute. How can she just cancel it like that? Especially when Miles is here, she…”
I dug my nails into my palm, forcing myself to calm down.
“Let me go take a look.”
The moment I pushed open Wynnie’s door, a coquettish laugh drifted out.
She was sitting on Ash’s lap, one arm hooked around his neck, posing deliberately for the phone camera.
