#Chapter 167: Drug Tests

“I’m not planning on going anywhere today,” Charles said, reassuring Theo. “I already called in when you guys were missing this morning, saying that I wouldn’t be in to work until I found you. Not to mention, I had to shut my phone off because I kept getting all sorts of messages about this story. It was better not to make a public statement until I knew exactly what was going on.” “But,” he looked at me, and he looked at both our guards, “I will have to make a public statement soon. As the owner and operator of Rafe Media, if I don’t come out and make a statement, I look like I’m hiding something or worse.” All three of us nodded. “As soon as I have something concrete, I’ll give it to you,” I promised. “You don’t want your statement to look like unfounded accusations. If Anthony really did what you said he did, and he toppled your family, then it’s going to look like a grudge if you come out and say anything without proof.” I bit my lip and twiddled my fingers together nervously.
