Chapter 491

As the night settled in, the white sedan pulled to a stop in the parking garage. Martin Palmer got out of the car while still on the phone, his usually calm eyes clouded with tension. “Yeah, I got it. I’m almost home.” On the other end, Caleb Summers hesitated for a moment before finally saying, “We know it puts you in a tough spot. If you really can’t do it... we’ll figure out something else.” “That ‘something else’ probably doesn’t exist, otherwise you wouldn’t be calling me.” Silence followed. Martin pressed the button for the direct elevator, letting out a sigh. “Alright. I’ll give you my answer by tomorrow morning.” Right as he ended the call, the elevator doors slid open and he stepped in. Veronica Wren had been staying at his place for a while now. She had completely put Stormwind Group behind her, playing the part of an absentee boss. Now and then, her phone would ring nonstop with calls from her assistant—she'd pick up maybe one out of ten, and only if she was in a good mood.
